Mine only has 60 miles on it, so I am sure it will wake up after a few long rides. Others that I have spoken to claim 72 mph.

Hard to tell.. speedo only goes to 60. Get on a hard surface (road) and it goes past 60 with no problem. I would guess between 65-70, the mags i've read say 67.something! That's fast for a 740lb machine! Add myself, 5 gals of gas and my 6pack cooler.. now your talking just under 1000lbs. The 0-40 really surprised me, definately the biggest,baddest,smoothest riding atv ever. Just my opinion tho!!

Ohh! 1 more thing. If you want to tell when you reach peak hp and torque, ride it on a level road at night, put it in neutral and adjust that **** that levels your high beam. Then give it the gas and don't let off until your high beam levels back out... that's all she's got. Then look down at your speedo, at night it's easier to see, like i said before between ??65-70!

Well I know they go 65 with no problem, I went ditch ridding today and I was passing traffic at the speed limit is 65 on the Hwy. Now I know my Atv has on 90 miles on it, it is really starting to lossen up and I have noticed a big power change. I cant wait to get some more miles on it. I will be looking at puting a new clutch spring into it so it coes out of the hole better.
Thanks

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] Put the White spring in and that should wake the bottom end up a little. Green is really agressive with a 300 rpm higher engagement.

Going to Nemadji bro? We'll have to hook up again and throw some mud.

BTW welcome to the Polaris family.
