Comparison: 700sx weight vs srx 700

[yamahaha]

Thinking about hopping up an 700 sx...I realize that the sx will never make the hp of the srx but if close. I guess it comes down to hp/wt ratio? How much does an sx weigh and how much does the srx weigh?

 

[Dave_Vmax600]

you can make sx engines scream.....it all depends on what your looking to spend.

 

[mrviper700]

actually with aftermarket triple pipes and porting you can make every bit of 145hp with a sx motor, but it wont get the gas mpg and the low end snap of a srx, the power valves and factory triple pipes on the srx are impossible to beat!

 

[SRX 1000]

I know a guy with a 1997 sx that runs 1/4 mile blacktop,his best is 9.90's at 126mph it is 700cc,35mm flatslides,hauck howlers race ported.The sled weighs between 430-440 lbs.

(It's just a little 700! .) Like this line mrviper700.Now some of them are BIG 700's with big bore kits now.

i dunno about weight, but i do know my sxr with psi tripples, and some other mods absolutely rips after i got it tuned right. seen 192 kmh on the speedo. and it definately feels lighter than my srx you really notice it in the handling i find.

Do you need an SX??

 

[obsessed]

I always see guys doing up SXs and was wondering what the difference is between the SX and my XTC. Can I fit triples on mine with the electric start and reverse on or would they have to be removed?

 

[pro116]

some pipes you can but most won't fit.The only difference really is long travel suspension.

 

[BBlueSRX]

I thought that PI's would fit w/ reverse but I am not positive

yamahaha:

my sx 800 with bender triples, tunnel heat exchangers, reverse, 192 megabites, full fluids & 7 gal.gas weighs 535 lbs. on longacre digital scales.
my srx 835 with the same as above except 240 megabites weighs 555 lbs.
bender sx triples do fit with electric start & reverse.
