I went to the erlandson performance web site and it says black spring for 360 and 650 prairies only.
i figure it fits the 700 to but i want to be sure before i order it. do any of you know for sure?

 

they will fit. the clutch setup is near identical on 650/700

 

Yep, they're the same. Put it on, it will reduce belt slippage, extend belt life. A good thing, since the belt's list price is $100.00 !!!!!!

 

thanks cartman and trx. i'm gonna order right now

 

TRX450,
FYI: You can get the P700 belt at ron ayers or tracy's world of cycle for less than $70 now (plus shipping). Unfortunately for me, I paid $116 (plus shipping) for a new P700 belt from ron ayers last summer and very soon thereafter the prices dropped! In any case, the EPI black spring is still a good idea.

Just wondering. What does the Black spring do for performance?

 

kissofdeath did an extensive spring test for p650 and p700 in Nov. or Dec. 03. His
conclusion was the stock spring on the p700 was very good and He wouldn't spend the money to change.

 

Mikey--- Yep, I know about AYER's prices, that is why I mentioned list/retail price. Thanks for the info,just the same.
No performance gain to speak of, according to my "extensive testing", by the seat of my pants! LOL KOD IS a good source of info on springs. He did take some(a lot) time, and test several. I haven't seen KOD posting lately. Hope he is O.K.

 

Del700-- I am thinking about riding the Paiute Trail in August. Got any tips, or info?????? I noticed that you were from Utah. AVG elev. is @12K ft., right?

 

FYI: I conducted timed drag test runs on asphalt last summer with my P650 to see how EPI black secondary spring affected performance and I reported my results on this and other forums. The results were that the EPI black spring made no significant difference at all in acceleration at 100' and 300' Also, my top speed was unchanged. I run 25" tires by the way. Not sure if my timed runs would have shown a different result using larger tires or not.
