Great Demon, we'll see ya soon, your are making it to Ds days right?

 

Chirochris,rider forward also translates in to less back strain.The four stroke 1000 cc Yamaha Apex has a weight disadvantage and 20 less horsepower than the Ski-Doo Mach Z,so it won't run with it but aftermarket companies such as Bender Racing sell turbocharger kits with various stages of power and adjustable boost. Cost approx. $4500-$5500.You may also want to know that Bender Racing is working on a turbo kit for the Mach Z,with hope of hitting 300 HP.

 

i saw a few apex machines basically the same with some slight changes all were

150hp but weight varied, so are you saying the mach is 170hp

 

The mach z is a lake racer ! Have you ever tried to ride 170 hp in the tight woods ? I had an old 155 hp mach z 3cyl . its very hard to steer when the skis are never on the ground . You can be much faster in the trails on a sled with a smaller eng that will still do 100 and yet be much easier on the checkbook . f5 = 90mph , f6 95-100 mph , f7 = wow!!! , mxz 600 ho 95-100 mph , mxz800 = wow!!! all fo less than the mach z or the yamadog 4 strokes . @00 + hp is all well and good , but do you want to spend 10 k on a sled and another 4-5 k on a turbo and only be able to use it 3-4 months a yr ? Buy a nice used rev or firecat and use the extra $$$ to go on lots of trips !!!

the new mach is WAY different than you old mach, comparing handling between the RT chassis and your CK3 chassis, and only 95-100 out of a 600H.O? hell i get ur 440 up to 90 wit some tweaking

 

113MPH on my XC700 is fast enough for me. And thats only just over 100HP

 

If your 98 xc 700 is stock --- there is no way its diong 113 ! The polarass speedos are WAY off ! My 440 does close to 90 now and its almost stock , it will embarass most machines up to about 60 mph then it starts to peeter out some , but I'm also 275 lbs , go figure The speeds are what Ive seen with me riding ! If you put a 70 lb midget on a stock banshee it will beat almost anything ! It comes down to power to weight ratio . The new mach z's are different , but the ft end is too heavy , and the handling is not the same as a regular rev ! the geometry is a little different , and it makes a huge difference !

 

You want a fast two-up machine, check out the (5 years old or so) Arctic Cat Thundercats that were made with two-ups. 172 hp.

 

I HAVE A NEW MACH Z. AWESOME MACHINE EXCEPT FOR FRONT SHOCKS. A PAIR OF FOX FLOATS TOOK CARE OF THAT. JUST ADDED A BOONDOCKERS SYSTEM. WAITING FOR SNOW TO TRY IT OUT. SCARY FAST. NO TROUBLES IN THE TIGHT TRAILS
