Default Vinson 500 top speed?

Quadmaster 500 has the same 493cc engine but I would imagine the vinson is faster? Is it true? If same engine then why? Bigger carb?

I think the vinson is the faster quad in this comparison, i am sure it revs faster and i beleive it weighs less. Mine will bounce off the rev limiter at 62 every time, and it gets there surprisingly fast. It will lift the front end in second gear and also in third if i lean back.

I've gotta 05 Vinny Auto. Going on level land I can get up to 59. I just put an HMF and jetted it so it will be interesting what the top end will be. I know that the pipe added TONS off the line.

Finally get to go riding. Weather has been horrible around here.

My almost stock Vinnie tops out at 58 MPH. Also, I must add that I'm a big boy at around 280# I've added full skids, a winch, front and rear bumpers, and my plow mount plate stays on. All toll I would guess my Vinnie is about a hundred pounds heavier than when I bought it. I'm planning on adding a dial a jet, k&n air filter and a pipe this summer. That should help. Time will tell.

Man.. I don't know how you get that much more speed then me.

I put an HMF on my 500 auto & jetted it. Quick as hell of the start I'm just not getting everything at the top end. Even w/ a Warn bumper on the front 10 lbs. shouldn't make that much of a difference. You think the manual gives more speed? I also have the 1in. White Bros. Air Vents in my air box (7 of them). My buddy doesn't think I'm getting enough air to gain that top speed I'm looking for. What do you all think? Will a UNI filter help at all? My buddy swears by them. He also wants to add some more air vents. He has a sweet Z400 that he has running great so I guess I should listen.

On my 03 Vinson 5 speed, the speedo says 62, but if I have my GPS on, it says it is doing 56-58. My quad is completely stock on the motor and wheels.
