Hello
I got the new track on my Vmax 600. I went from the stock 136" x 2" to a 159" x 2.125" paddle. It sounds like a huge jump in track size, but really its only about 11.5" of ground contact area more than the 136".
I gave it a run and I was very impressed. We sled in the mountains with deep snow. It ran great with really no loss of power with the longer track. Climbed like a mountain goat and didn't get stuck in the deep snow.
The motor is a stock 600. It has a fairly fresh top end and is jetted for the altitude I ride at. It also has stock exhaust. I have a set of powder skis to help the front stay up on the deep snow.
If I spend a few more bucks on a performance exhaust I could pull another 10hp out of the motor.
Alot of people think you need huge power to turn a longtrack. My experiment shows it can be done.
If you want to scream across a lake at 100mph, you wouldn't need a longtrack. If you try riding in the mountains at 100mph, you would last about 5 seconds before you die.
