ok..not much to do so..question.What type of RMP's to you run at say 40MPH 60mph and 80mph on your sleds?

I'd tell you if I had enough snow to get mine over 10mph,

I was just about to reply, and say:

"Wait a minute, whats an RMP?"

depends what kind of sled you have. 40 mph is around 6000-6500= at 40. ive never looked down at my gauges going 80+, i wonder why? i would guess around 8 grand, right at the top of power band.

i personally though dont ride at a constant speed so i dont have exacts. im that kid that slows down to 20, then blasts to 50, lays off blasts back up 50, cruise, ect

Depends on snow conditions, but around there give or take a couple hundred. Usually i'm around 8k cause i like to give er and its not that fast in the deep stuff

40=6000
60=7000
80-90=8000

with a CVT your RPMs will vary slightly due to snow conditions (load) you may run one RPM in the morning and a lower RPM in the afternoon going the same speed. not to mention all sleds are not geared the same, have different diameter drivers ect. all wil be different. the one thing you need to know is peak RPM. at WOT am i reaching my peak RPM? if so your good, if not you need to find out why.
