I found a brand new 01 I'll be picking up in a couple weeks. I'm not a yammy rider but really want a 3x3, and this is the only new one I could find. First was hoping to find a XCR8 but no luck. I already know how to make this sled fly as a buddy of mine has one. It takes a really good running XCR8 to run with his SRX. I was wondering to all the guys out there who have these how do you like them or what don't you like about them? Thanks
 

I like mine

And I'm having a real hard decision as to whether I'm gonna keep it when my Apex arrives. Power is awesome, handling is great. The suspension is my only complaint. I put the long travel rear shocks in it, and it still could use a bit more. But still a great and dependable sled.

Maybe I'll keep it for the wife. yeah right.
 
SRX,

Kinda like the old Mopar you sold back in the it's heyday and have regreted it every since.
 
IMO, the SRX will out handle an XCR 800 any day. I've ridden both and while the XCR 800 is fast, it feels very heavy compared to the SRX 700. I think you made the right choice. The only downfall of the SRX is the stock suspension, which can be fixed with a long travel kit. There's alot of members on here that would love to get their hands on a brand new SRX, so have fun and send pics.
 
Modzilla - where on earth did you find a brand new 01 SRX? - that is huge - you will love the sled - are you going to race it or trail ride it? - alot of tricks you can do to them - best triple/triple ever made!
 
New 01 SRX

You will love the SRX.
On my 98 the buggest improvement was long traveling the front and rear susp. When i did the rear I add a higher rate spring and had the shock revalved for my large size 280lbs. I also have lots of fun with the motor.

If anyone is looking Desplaines Yamaha said they have a 02 SRX in the crate still.

I have a 2000 XCR 800 for sale 5000 miles on it great shape for 3800 canadian
 
I had put a post up looking for a SRX7 or XCR8, and low and behold I found 2 of them. There is 1 in Sault St. Marie,Ontario but the guy is asking like $9700 Cdn. "before tax." A couple days later I had an email sent to me about a new one in Michigan. It's a guy who has 4 of these sleds and had bought the 01 from a dealer last year. I asked for pics but it was still in the crate nice and warm in the garage. He pulled her out put it together and sent me a bunch of pics.Showroom mint condition with .3 of a km on it. $5700 is what he wants which I don't think is unfair.Brad if you XCR had 0 miles or less than 200 I would take it. Brad sellin the amsoil! me too! Do you know of any new ones around Ontario? I don't care either way the 700 will save me a little on insurance. MrTahoe I'm going to keep it for a trail sled but more so set-up for top speed running. The groomed trails up here in Northern, Ontario are mostly fast vs. the tight and twisty. I mean we've got so many that are 50ft. wide and straight as an arrow for a mile with perfect sight ahead. My buddy has an SRX with cut heads,porting,many hours of clutching and good carburation, and this thing flies. He rides it as his trail sled but still will pull (laser radar proven) 127MPH. I'm looking forward to picking on some bigger displacement because there is nothing more amusing than going by some bigger iron. My buddy with the SRX gave another guy we know with a new Z1000cc a spankin from dead stop all the way to the top. I'm going to set it up for max speed but will have enough traction to bite on some friend to friend weekend racing. What I'm about to say might sound ludicrous but it works. I'm going to run 168 1.325 studs down the middle on the .91 track. The last year I was advised to run real long picks(above normal) by a guy and have had solid reliability no rips or tears. My sled right now has a 136x.83 lug and I've got 170 1.325 studs on it with 0 problems. I raced on ice this year and lost once to a 1000cc T-Cat with Jaws race pipes and many mods. MachZ1000,many F-cats,SRX,and some old 3x3 ski-doos could not come close due to lack of traction. I think it poses more of a risk for damage when you spin with studs and they grab as compared to a straight dig and launch. The only concern with the SRX is the low slung suspension and my weight 205lbs. no gear. From you fellow owners do you think this will be a problem or not? Also some guys on here are saying that these sleds are hard to get to transfer when racing? I know the ones I raced it seems like on the line they hit it and the sled stayed there like a log spinning while I was already 40ft. gone full throttle. This was probably due to a lack of knowing what to due as my buddys SRX will make me put my tail between my legs.
 
incredible sleds, tons of power, great reliability, great handiling, great mileage, put a lot of bigger sleds to shame.
 
Sounds to me all you have to do is have your budy set yours up! - 127 is real good - how much does he weigh? - anyone over 200 lbs usually drops a tooth, sometimes two - I would get it set up and see what it does - if you are porting it, working the heads, and carbs and want top end you probably won't need to gear it any different than stock - post some pictures of it on hear when you get it done!

I live pretty close to that place and have always found those guys to be assholes. JMO.
