Vector Speeds

[VectorLTX2012]

Okay guys and gals over on the Apex site they are discussing their max speeds. I was wondering what you are getting with your RS Vectors. Please state the year (because of the change in 2010) and the model GT, LTX, etc. If you have some mods done let us know.

I have 2012 LTX and managed 90 gps and 93 on the dreamometer all stock with marginal wheel kit added when it hit 200 miles.

At 1000 miles with the 2012 LTX I squeezed 100 out of it on the speedo.

Takes em all out of the hole though, and no studs yet

103 on my dream-meter on Lake Gogebic in mid-January. Didn't buy it for top speed, I can keep up with the fastest using my head and riding right on any type of trail! I have Ulmer clutching, Hauck exhaust, 96 studs. 2010 RS Vector GT. This summer am going to add Excell header, Ulmer air box mod, and PC 5. Maybe gearing?

Sounds like your not satisfied with the current speed with all of the mods you're done and will be doing.

Extremely happy with the overall performance! This is a great sled! I'm a performance trail rider and these mods really woke this baby up! Gonna add more over the summer to make it perform even better!!!! Not worried about top speed at all. In fact, don't care! Hard acceleration is where it's at!

120 speedo in perfect conditions. Normally I see between 100 and 108.

1 2008 goes 155 one goes 163-165 on the spedo. both 2010's are about 160-165 on the average lake or straight away. all ltx's 15x136.completely stock other then ski's. the 08's are 1.5 ripsaw, the 2010's are stock 1.25 ripsaw. 08's beat 2010's off the line mainly because they dont have transfer rods, and slightly larger tracks. people call us retarded for holdin sleds wide open for 2 or 3 miles across a lake. but we dont worry bout engines haha

Just this week in Island Pond Vt. 102 on the speedo and 89.5 GPS, stock 07 Nytro. Not too shabby for the gearing the Nytro runs.

Two days ago on Moosehead lake Maine. 94 on the GPS, 101 on the speedo.
2010 Vector LTX.

08 vector ltx 1700 km got 175 km/hr or 109 mph I had a ultimate xs belt on it before and was only getting 98 mph...might have been the wrong size..sticking with Yamaha belts from now on figure 109 mph is about right for that motor, happy with that anyway!

 

[Sledhead_BR]

Should of added that was the speedo...

 

[TRUE BLUE SINCE 1980]

104 on the Wak-o-meter with a stock 10 ltx, no steds. Changed the spring in the clutch and slowed it to 98

I was going to call you out until I realized that was kph lol.

My 2005 will run about 103 mph with 144 studs. More top end with stock windshield.

The fastest I have had my 08 doing was 180km/h, ideal conditions.
