I still havent even topped my Rubicon out. I'm just not that interested in what top speed is. Like Bill said, I ride mostly under 25 mph.

 

There no to many places around here where it would be safe to go over 25mph. It,s all old slim hilly and windy logging roads mostly and with large old stumps just waiting for that 50 mph quad to come along.

 

Tex Mud,
To tell you the truth,Im not really sure of my top end either.I cant ever recall trying to top it out.====Bill

 

My quad is seriously limited in it's top end. This is because my dog likes to run along side at about 15 to 20 mph and I hate to leave him behind.

I have never topped out my quad either. Actually, I could use more throttle in the mud too, but I am still a little afraid of getting thrown. Thrown is what I was on my Warrior. Crotch meets handlebars...ouch! Since then been a little light on the Go trigger when approching deep mud holes at speed!

SP500 in NS
2000 SP500 (not sold yet...)

 

I know that my 400 explorer can wup up on the ruby when it comes to top speed, The two that I raced (both full stock just like mine) they couldn't even come close!!

 

I have raced my brothers SP500 several times from a dead stop and from a 10-20 mph start. He gets my Rubie every time. Now granted he does have a pipe, clutch kit and K&N kit on his machine. Which gives him that all-important hole shot start. The roads are not black top, but they are sections that are at least 1 mile long and wide enough for a car to pass, so it safe to say both bikes are tapped out. The only thing that frys my ham is that his SP500 is a 97, and it has seen it's fair share of abuse. Needless to say I will be looking to Highlifter for some performance parts for the Rubie. Are there any other co's. that have performance mods for the Rubie?
