So ive just purchased a 2001 srx 700 and everything seems to be great on it except for a few things that i was hopeing you guys could help out with. 1st is i was told to clean my reeds.....now what does that entitle and is it hard to do yourself or does it have to be taken to a shop.2nd thing is whats the best setup to really get a good hookup off the line any suspension tips or anythign else besides puttin new studs on it. last thing is about my max out speed i should be smoking my buddy on the lake with his 98 mach one but once i get to like 8000 rpms it seems to quit there ( not shut off just stay at the rpm and speed) while my freind blows right by me and my sled should be kiking its *** so what does anyone think the problam is there ( just jetting or reeds) or is his sled actually the better sled thanks alot i hope someone understands all these questions lol

Have you looked at your powervalves? Sounds like they are dirty or pulled threw!! I would start there and then work my way to clutches, track deflection, gearing. Is the sled stock? You should be pulling 8200 at start and 8500 wide open throttle at the end of a long run! Do a search and there is tons of reading on these things!!!
As far as reeds...I would guess they were talking about your powervalves. I have never cleaned my reads in 5000 miles!!
