I just bought a 96 xplorer 300 fan cool..My buddy needed money so i bought it..Doesn't seem like a very fast machine nor stable. Can anyone give me an idea how fast this thing should be, figure 2 stroke should fly, but it doesn't fly very fast!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I had a '99 Xplorer 300 and it was as fast as the 2007 X2 500 that I have now. I have to admit that I was nearly 60 lbs lighter then though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

huh she must be tired maybe...i mean she'll move but not like I would think a 2 stroke would...I put new belt and a dyno port exhaust...I called dyno and they said NO JETS...stock jets only..don't know what else will give me more..oh ya k&n filter as well...boring cylinders CAN"T be the ONLY thing left to gain power

 

you can port the cylinder shave the head put some different clutching in and change the pipe. that hsould wake the beast up

 

Remember its a fan cooled motor, not a liquid, so no matter how much money you dump into it or how much work you put in its never gonna be fast, only functional.

The 400 Xplorer liquid is a much better platform for performance.

 

Ya so being fan cooled NOW should be the peak of it's performance no? Granted the snow has been some crap riding for me, I think the tires he's got have all to blame but there was a couple days we had that were great. Hooking up was NO problem, KEEPING up ....well that seems to be a different story. Can I clutch kit it and not bore and shave?

 

yep. give rick ritter a call at rcr. tell him what your looking for and he can hook ya up!

 

My 94 300 2x4 will do 52 mph any day. I would agree with the member that said to get a clutch kit.

 

Just wondering with the clutch kit do I have to modify or upgrade anything else immediately or can I just clutch it and see what it does for me?

 

Just clutch it and enjoy. I got the one for my 02 500HO from EPI and love it!!
