Clutch it, reed notch it, thats what I did on my old sled and it rocked...


reed notch? what is that?


We just got a 97 venture 600 and I am looking at cheap easy and quick mods to make it go better, despite not even having ridden it yet ;)
I have heard the 97 600's have better cylinders -esp in the transfer ports, is this true?
 
Check the Tech Pages for the reed notch, andI know the 600 triples are faster and better but couldnt tell ya on the twins. Just do a lot of searches and you will find good information.

Thats why I love this site!!!!
