I only got 79 MPH in 660' with my srx but I still took first. Go figure. I need to figure this thing out. Anyone run a srx with HH have a good setup? From clutches to gearing? Next race is 1000'. HELP!!!!! :o| :o| :o| :o|
 

Were you cleaning out the pipes before you ran? If not, a lot of your problem could have been that the pipes were cold.
Before you run, put the back of the sled up on a jackstand and just hold the throttle wide open for half a second. Do that 3 or 4 times before each run and you should be good to go.
If you let a 2-stroke sit and idle for a bit, the pipes will cool off and it will take a little while before the pipes heat up again and it runs right.

anywhere form 100 to 113mph in 1000ft depends on how much time and effort you want to put into it.
 
IN 660 ON ICE I THINK WITH MY 8BU SET-UP WITH MY 2000 SRX I RAN 97 mph. NOT A DIG BUD, SOUNDS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME ISSUES GOING ON. 3:16 (yammie tony)
 
Ya, I just can't figure it out. All I can say is setup. Gearing seems to be an issue. Motor is tight, PV's are perfect, runs real good just won't go. I had hookup issues for the first 200 feet. Then it would pull hard.

me too^^^. ran my xt 700 stock. I got 80 flat, on my fifth run. but don't feel too bad, there was another srx running 74-76 :o| the whole event seemed pretty weak. I only saw like 2 sleds getting over 83ish, and they were 800s. Well....besides the drag sleds! the orange sled supposable ran 130 last weekend at colebrook, and his last run was 113.

Srx

I figure I was missing at least 12 MPH. Oh well, it was the first trip out for the sled. I transformed it from an off trail SRX to ice in three nights. I'll get it figured out at some point.
