I HAVE A 2000 SXR 700 WITH BENDER TRIPLE PIPES . H/C CLUTCH KIT . 1 1/4 RIPSAW TRACK WITH 96 STUDS . THE HEAD HAS BEEN SHAVED 20 THOUSANDS . REED NOTCH . 45/39 HELIX GREEN SECONDARY SPRING . 24/38 GEARS WITH 8 TOOTH DRIVERS . I WAS AT HOUGHTON LAKE THIS WEEKEND AND A FREIND WAS RADARING AND I ONLY GOT 86MPH . THAT SUCKS IF YOU ASK ME. I RACED 2 F7S 1 ZR 900 AND A MXZ 800 ALSO A VIPER I CAN GET ALL OF THEM OUT OF THE HOLE ALL THE WAY TO ABOUT 70 THEN THEY GO BY ME . IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE GREAT LOW END JUST NO GOOD MID TO TOP END. WHAT CAN I DO THANKS . :letitsnow

Are you getting the right weight transfer on this, do you have no transfer. This happen to me when I bought mine, the guy set it with all ski pressure and no transfer
 
what are your rpm's? are they pullin up to your peak? how are your sec. buttons?
 
did you clip the track when you installed it or did you remove your heat exchangers. 1 1/4 camos dont fit in a pro action without one of these being done.

aren't benders supposed to be at 8500? If so, you are out of your power band,need to get those r's down
 
yammy is correct. put weight in the front clutch - 8500 rpm.
in perfect conditions you are geared for about 108 mph on a long pull - but not with the ripsaw on. hacksaw or predator - 1" - would have been a better choice for top end. your quicker out of the hole because of the ripsaw & slower on top for the same reason.

8500 rpm.
you've also got 8 tooth drivers which is adding to the problem. makes for a tighter track turning radius. put the 9 tooth drivers back in. the track will clear.

bring your rpm's down to 8500 & go out & run it. if still not happy trim the ripsaw down to 1" & put the 9 tooths back in with 1.075 studs. will then mph about the same as a 1" predator.

You Cut the track because it rubs the heat exchanger...therefor SLOWING you down. Just cut notches in the track where it come in contact with the exchanger. If your track is to tight this also will hurt your top end.
 
he is saying put the 9 tooth drivers back in and cut notches in the track where they come in contact with the protectors, or you can just let them wear grooves. Did you gear it for 8tooth drivers? Benders should be around 8500. I've got SLP's and I can just about bury the dreamometer on ice. 86mph somethings not right
 
i have bender pipes on mine and i only run 8500 rpms wot. on the lake i run around 107 according to the skidoo 800r digital speedo says
