Does 85-90 MPH sound about right for top speed on a stock (except for a bender can) 97 Vmax 700 Mountain----running at sea level & hardpack trail with a few inches of powder on it?? Finally got clutching about right for sea level and running about 8500RPM max.
 

ya, if its geared lower and has a bigger track, sounds about right
 
Has the stock 1 1/2 inch lugged track and the factory MM gears. I am not really complaining cause it really does the hills and the deep stuff like I bought it for but just want to make sure I am set up about right since I did just put a new clutch on it. The clutch was weighted for sea level.
 
is that on radar or speedo? Thats not a bad top speed for a mountain max with the low gears, and long, tall lugged track
 
That is on the speedo and it has the stock Yamaha 1 1/2" lugged track---136".
 
A friend of mine has a stock 97MM stretched to a 144 with a 2 in Camo. He got 93mph on gps. His blows the doors of my 03 MM with a 141/2 Yoko and another 02 MM with a 141/2 Camo.
