you guys must be swelling the tires because there is a 8100 rpm rev limiter set on the machine. most are only hitting 80 - 84 mile an hour tops, stock. i have 2 buddys with the stage 1 wood rotax kits and they are both running IDENTICAL and revving out at 81 mph, but they are also doing that in a little less than 1/4 mile with the carlile badlands 26'ers.

So the modded Outlander is slower then the stock one?

 

the piped and intaked ones are faster.

 

get on a long 15% grade and pin the throttle and see what happens [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

This what you said..........What exactly did you mean? I've had my 800 over 70 and still pulling but I have my doubts it will reach 80-84.....at a slight downhill grade probably, but on a level surface I have my doubts and don't feel there is any real need to go that fast unless you are on the border patrol and are chasing illegal immigrants [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

im talking they are topping out like that on flat and level ground. once you get them above 75 they start to fall off and dont pull as hard as they do below 70mph. the rotax kit is bringing the torque and hp curve up an carring it out longer letting them hit revlimmiter in a short distance on flat and level ground.

 

Weather it will go over 80mph or not doesn't matter to me. But when someone tops theirs out, I would like to be there. All it takes is a twich or a small rock at that speed to wreck and then the funeral plans start. I guess after having herinated disk in my neck I like a slower pase, like below 50mph. But, hey that is just me at middle age. Well, I guess 5 days away from 40 is middle age....LOL. Well, have fun riding those rockets and be careful. We in the atv world don't like to hear about one of our own dying.

 

the 800 can / brp will top out at 80 to 81 mph or 8100 rpms which ever is reached first . any reading higher means you need to have the speedo calibrated .
brp ( bombardier recreational products ) owns can am 100% they are one company can am is a devision ( the atv devision ) of brp . brp seperated from the transportaion company bombardier in i beleave 2005 . brp also owns sea doo & ski doo & johson / evenrude .
most speedo's will show 78 to 79 as as top reached speed but when gps and radared the will hit 80 to 81 on flat ground . the modded ron woods kit 800's top out at the same 80 to 81 they just get there quicker and maintain it better .

 

earlier in the thread some one asked how they would do with 28" rubber . they do great we have several running on 27 and 28 tires . they have no trouble at all . for a real story on the mud capablity check out mus and dirt .com . john cannon took his to the mud nats and rocked the house this year . he ran 29.5 outlaws on his 800 .

by the way the 800 will top at at the same speed if you run 26" or 28" rubber . the computor is smart enough to know . my 800 runs 26" my buddies identical 800 runs 27" bighorns and we top out at the same speed side by side . i just get there quicker with the 26" rubber . i hope this helps . any other questions feel free to ask .

 

good advise v twin man - its amazing how the 800's fel very stable on hard pack or asphalt at 80 . my max 800 feels like you are on a big cruiser road bike at that speed . on gavel is another story anything over 55mph is squirly in the loose stuff . i found it helps to run 4x4 on the gravel roads to help stabilize the front steering at speeds 50 and up
