From some old mags and results the 2002 viper was the fastest of the bunch.S.S.Viper said:Wow...I didn't know the clutching was improved...hmmm...I shoulda cashed in more pop bottles for that sucker...oh well...I guess thats why I get to tinker on mine..
jminor1 said:I heard the 03 was faster than the 02 because it had a hotter ignition in it but one thing is for sure with that viper s the ripsaw will slow it down big time, I think it will be lucky to hit 105 on its best day.
xsivhp said:My S will run with the old older short lug SXR 700 and walk away from it up top - stock vs stock.
Either way - I'll never run a track shorter than 1 1/4 again. The gain on the trail is worth more to me than the little bit you lose on the lake.jminor1 said:You must admit if that is the best it can do it is an under achiever. I had an 02 and a friend of mine had an 03, same state of tune and he always had a slight edge which could be attributed to traction but then I clutched mine and put reeds in it and the rest is history. I guess the set-up I do for this viper s is to lose that track and clutch it. Anyone play with the gearing at all?
Viper Tom trail riding is good but when you come to the lake and there are many where I ride, that is where the chest beating takes place in the circles I run!
