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.
 
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.
