I unintentionally rolled mine last week. It sat 3/4 upside down on the left side for at least 30 seconds and probably closer to 45 seconds before I could get to it and tip it up. I had no cowl breakage but the windshield and all the plastic screws broke. I've heard stories about oil draining into the airbox but I didn't have any leakage of oil or fuel. A little anti-freeze was in the snow but not enough to worry about. I wouldn't suggest rolling it unless you carry new screws and rubber nuts. And some tape to Frankenstein the windshield back together. Oops. I forgot the handguard mounts. They broke, too.

Gearing is the same as FX and RTX, not sure the # but is no different for all non-moutain Nytro's.

XTX is 21-39 with 2.52 pitch 9 tooth drivers
MTX is 20-40 with 3" pitch 7 tooth drivers. (slightly smaller diameter)

So 1.86 ratio w/ 9T drivers should be geared for somewhere around 96 mph (ish) does that sound close?
So dropping 2 teeth on top should put you around at 2.05.....and maybe somewhere around 88 mph???
How is the stock chain length? Should be able to drop 2 teeth on the top sprocket without issues I would assume???

Sounds about right.
Stock chain is a 68 link. Yes you can drop down to a 19/39 with the stock chain.
At first I was using 20/39 for 2500' to 6500'. Worked ok, but it was little tall for tight boondocking.
Since then I have switched to 20/40, which I figure should about right for my elevation and riding style. Hope to find out this weekend.

Either 20/39 or 19/39 should work. Depending on the type of riding you plan on doing. Lower speed boondocking I would lean towards 19/39, trail riding or higher speeds 20/39.

More than once this year I've been forced to stand up while riding to the cabin because the snow was deep enough that it was coming over the hood and windshield constantly for the better part of the 30 mile trip. And once there we go looking for snow to play in. Ice under the cowl was annoying but not as much as the steam that roils into my face the moment I slow down. I had to take action to restrict snow ingestion. Here's a post about it.
