Default SP700 Top speed -- GPS verified

i have a 2002 700 sp and it ran on a flat road paved at 69.9 on radar and my friends 700 only ran 64.5 ... both are stock but i do think set up means alot...i shocked a lot of people that day including me!

this is a very good quality radar gun not junk.......

Me and my friend often drag race them and when I first got them the races were pretty close but now the second one always wins. We took a modded rincon out with the second one and drove side by side and looking at the rincon's digital speedometer it was going 71 mph. The other one barely makles 62. They bother were purchased the same day. And they were only made a month apart. Absolutely no difference. they bothe have the same hours and miles give or take about 10 hours, 30 miles. And we dis this after we changed oil and filled the tank... I just dont get it.
A rincon is probably the best all around utility quad there is but it will not do 71mph unless it's other than stock. It actually has the weakest motor of all the big bore utilitiy quads. Most sport quads barely hit 70 and I know a rincon isn't faster than a 400ex or at least I wouldn't think it would be. I've heard they'll hit about 65mph. The speedo's aren't always very accurate, peace.

Mabey you should read it over and realize i mentioned that it was not stock. It is highly modded.

I seem to have lost about 3 mph with the heelclicker, all inrunnig is the 1.2 setscrew in the shoulder. It does help the bottom end, but it seems slugish through the mid-top end (lower rpm's). I do around 60 now.

I called Dan this morning and asked him about it, he basically compared how the factory weights work to "slipping the clutch" on a manual transmission. It seems to be locking up a little low for me, there may be something said for belt slippage if it keeps you in the power band. He suggested trying the orange spring in the primary instead of the factory one, this may be hit or miss as to how many rpm's will be needed to engage the clutch. One of my reasons in getting the heelclicker was to engage just above an idle, and it works just fine for that and most of the low end.
He also mentioned putting a longer set screw in place of the 1.2, He wasn't very specific on what to expect with that change. I have to admit Dan does try to help, Great guy.
