Had SXR600 out today..it's not an SRX

[bluemonster1]

took the little 600 out to ditch bang,drift cutting and hill climbing.Since I stole the 51/43 helix from it for my SRX setup and put back a 47 in it,it runs the crap.Have 8DN-20 with 3.6 heel and 4.4 tip.Does not work great with a 47.Cannot hardly get 8000 rpm wot.Doesn`t sound right also.There is a bog at low end to.Sled was sitting for 3 weeks and started on the 9th pull.Either I get another 51:43 for it or just put primary back to stock with the 47.Even tried 90 wrap to see if rpm`s climb.It only climbed like maybe to 8100..maybe.But with the 51:43 in there at 80 wrap she was launching to 8200 and wot to 8500.Amazing what a differnt helix will do.This sled is geared down one tooth upper and has 1.25 track.Who cares,it is not my main sled anymore.I wanna find a 48:40 helix for the X and put the 51é43 back to 600.
My friggin back is killing me now.Did some awfull scarey jumps today.Landings were not that good and the jolts from the drifts along the tree lines were killing me.Really wore me down.Then I had to top it off by getting stuck good.Went down a big drift on an angle,knew I wouldn`t make it up and the nextt drift,so took it down left,like6-7 feet down,tried a fast loop and was starting to lose speed.Turned tight and tried to punch it going upwards and that was friggin it for me.Ski`s pointing up,track dug down and I was hooped.Took me a good while to get that sled turned around.Think I hurt my back trying to lift back end and turning front end around.No heart attack this time at least.Lined her up and just pinned it straight up and over the 7 foot hill.I had no choice,was only one way out and and just gave her and made it.Not going to that spot again.To old for this stuff.
My back,shoulders,arms and legs are aching like hell now.I am whipped.Hitting the couch to watch a movie and will pass out.Stupid snow!!!

I run mostly the same setup. 51/43 @ 70* , geared down 1 tooth, 1.25" ripsaw, and EMPTY 8-CA wieghts. Runs pretty dang well and tops out at just under 100 on the dream meter, did 109mph on the dream meter with the stock yokohama track.

well my SXR600 is not my speed demon.It is just a filler sled and banger.I put it to the mat all the time.I don't care if I blow up the motor on it,but can't seem to do it.It just keeps going and going.Them 600's sure are bullet proof or what.They start easy to.I should put on my aftermarket can on it again,because it is loud and sweet.I have been told you can hear me coming from a mile away.And when I pass other sledders and punch it,they turn there heads,sound just pierces their ears and mine to...lol.I have done 30 foot jumps with this sled and land good,no broken parts at all.Sled has well over 10,000 km's and parts are in tact.Sweet sled ,good quality.Original w-arm in there is still in one piece..amazing!!!!With the 8DN-20's with 3.6 heel and 4.4 tip,with 51/43 helix at 70 or 80 and a 1 1/4" Rip saw track with one tooth geared down on upper...sled pulls like mad out of the hole.With a good bite ,there is no problem lifting them ski's a foot off the snow.An all around dependable sleb I must say.

Those 47's are junk aye. Mine is like a different sled with the 51/43 in there. About the only thing I think would be better on my sled would be a little less top end angle. Just not enough motor in my sled. Wish you luck on finding another.
