'98 XTC600 rpm's... sweet spot??

[daman]

where is it on this sled?... pinned she'll go to 7500 then climb
to 8000.

Sounds about right.

My '97 600 runs 8200 then drops down a bit and starts inching up to 7900 or so. 7800 is the sweet spot for the twins.

Thats what i was thinking around 78-8000
i'll leave it there then,seems to pull good so..thanks FB.

Ya there are a lot of posts about the 600 twin's power band being at 7800.

I've spun mine up to 8300 a few times after my rebuild and before I replaced the weights. It sure sounds sweet at that speed.

yes 7800 is where you want to be. After that it starts losing power. In the first year, I experimented lots with my MM. I even had a few dyno sheets that show all that, just a matter of finding them.

Cool thanks dutch..

I ran mine at 7800 grass darging and trail riding that where it ran fastest.

Would that apply to 500's as well? the wifes dlx runs about the same
tops at 78-79 pulls damn good for a small mill

 

[pro116]
