I got my 98 vmax 700 xtc out on a 200km rip this week. I noticed it was very fast from a dig or 20-40mph when smashing the throttle, it would rev up to 8300-8600, but usually around 8500 depending on what I assume was the traction situation at the time (I'm not studded).
However, it would quickly come down and hold at 8000 rpm after some speed maybe 60-80mph, or in that range and have less power. Smashing the throttle from that 60-80mph speed only sends it up to around 8000 rpm, give or take.
I'm still learning about how these cvt drives work, I know I have a red (doubtful it would be pink) spring in the secondary set to 60degrees. As far as I know the stock spring would have been green which would have provided more backshift, I could change the secondary to 70 degrees and experiment.
As an aside, I'm getting about 45L/100km on the trails, I'm not sure if that is typical. I'm not sure how changing backshift would change fuel consumption.
