Not callin' anyone a liar but I think Bartletts #'s are pretty accurate. I know a TrailTech speedo ain't the most accurate way to check but last time out, in loose dirt with stock tires and 13 tooth front sprocket I ran 65 and change. I don't know how far it was but it was a pretty good distance. If I would have kept going I may have got another mph or two but not much more.

Actually, if I leaned forward on the tank and thought about being on a Raptor(or Warrior 660) I probably could have got 90+, at least that's what the Warrior, errr Raptor owners would tell ya![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Don't get your panties all in a bunch. If your quad ran faster, tell us about it. Don't type obscenities on the internet and be a dink. Was it stock, stock gearing and tires, what surface, what method of speed measurement, how did you calibrate the instrument, did you use 2 or more to get more reliable readings, how many passes did you make, etc.

Edit: For the benifit of the mods and all onlookers.

alright i would understand that for a dif topic, but this is not an opinion answer, it is right and wrong

i own suzuki, friend owns ac, right on the frame it says, "manufactured by Suzuki Motor Corporation"
they run neck and neck w/ eachother, jus IMO suzuki is more comfortable

Oh, and by the way peekzsz,

The new AC 650 uses a Prarie motor
the AC 500 uses a Vinson motor
etc, etc, etc
The 500 uses the Suzuki motor, but the new Arctic Cat 650 H-1 is an Arctic Cat designed and built motor. The older 650 V-2 engine is the Kawasaki engine.

No your right peekzsz suzuki wouldnt mass produce and engine so another company could build the same quad. Suzuki actually owns about 25% of the Acrtic Cat company. This is why all of there New Sno Mos and most of there atvs have suzy engines

not trying to **** anyone off here, just stating the facts
Actually Suzuki owned 34% of Arctic Cat.
