Wow,new to me

Hopefully the next trip the lakes will be in better shape for a top end run,she was pulling real hard at 98 when I had to let off
Just remember your speedometer will read high when you push triple numbers. So verify actual speed via GPS before you tell everyone sled did 128 when your only going 108. Enjoy and be safe it will be hard to go back to a two stroke after awhile.
 

Hope the lakes are in better shape so I can stay in it,I here they actually run 104 or so, 07 attack???
All in conditions and setup. A good running attack should run between 101-111 actual speed. Conditions will play a big part in overall top speed on these animals.
Mine was originally a 121 but is now a 136. Attack clone you could call it it will run 109 to 111 on average good conditions actual speed but has gone faster too.
 
Wow you have a great running sled,do you run stock gearing? I hope 208 picks don't slow top end too much?
 
Oh yes, love the way she handles groomed trails, I told my son's it's like ridding a fast Cadillac
 
10,800 to 11000 is good, at least on mine. We have lots of apexs here now,and one at 10,300 leaves a lot on the table. 12 to 14 mpg under most trail conditions. One apex was rebuilt and blew up last night. Bad noises. Gorgeous sled too..power steering.
What year was the one that had engine trouble?

when i took mine on the trail for the first time there was probably a mile long stretch of flat and wide to I let it eat I was doing maybe 25-30 coming out of a twisty section and stabbed the throttle and it hit 112 on the speedo quick. I know that's not true speed but it pulled hard and was still pulling when I let off. stopped at the next intersection and waited for my father-in-law to catch up and all he said was I came around that last corner and holy F!@# you were just gone lol
 
Congrats. I got 06 apex few years back. Under exceptional lake conditions I hit 113 on the Speedo, lots of fun.
Put 8 inch double runners on this year, eliminated darting at high speed.
If you want to have fun, remove your transfer rod out the skid then romp on it, your headlights will point straight up!
 
Oh yes, the arm stretch pull on these machines is impressive. Do you veteran riders agree the speeds are off 7-10 mph???

Just download a free app to your phone.
There are many.
I use 'speedometer 69'
Even with one tooth off it is still high.
Take two teeth off, it will read slightly low.
 
My Attak has been an awesome and reliable sled. I have done every update that Yamaha improved on over the years including the late model chain case. I have raced a lot of other Apexs in our area both drag race and top end and have never taken a back seat to anyone and had never had any problems competing against any other brand stock sleds as well until I went head to head with a stock Sidewinder...LOL...that was a lesson.
My Attak with a 1 1/4" Ripsaw 2 track tops out at 105 to 108 mph in normal trail type conditions and has run 119 mph on an ice road....all on GPS.
I still have my Attak and occasionally leave the Winder at home and ride the Attak...especially in poorer snow conditions as it never overheats.
