Hey everyone....anyways....just bought another RX-1 and need to know how to make it FASTER!! Ya it's fast but I am surei can do more. And NO I am not about to foolishly waste money on a turbo, so I am looking for other ideas. PLease let me know!!! Thanks!!

Get a lower windshield!! Hahah that thing is huge!!! And how much faster could you possibly want to go on that thing? Messing with the clutch will get you more speed too.

why's a turbo a waste of money? or is it just way too much money?

Try the Eastern Cycle Performance kit for the RX1 as well as the clutch kit,20 hp gain in the mid,that should straighten your arms a little more.

faster top end or faster bottom and mid?

If it's just top speed you're looking for, then all you have to do is gear it. Smaller top gear bigger bottom gear. You can get almost 15mph more with just a few different gears.

he wasnt asking what he should buy a new sled, hes asking what he should get for his sled. His new RELIABLE sled.

Nice sled man, looks great

Haha....I hear ya! I had a little trouble there a week ago riding through some drifts...you know...it happens...when your being an idiot! Ya I am looking into playing with new cams...but I have to find out if that is a smart idea yet. New windsheild on order!

kidcorona_kid · 02-04-2005, 01:00 AM

OKay I am gonna try some of those ideas. Ya as for the 2-strokes...not really going to ever go back to one actually. Let's face it...it depends on what your looking for, for me I like having the better fuel economy, responsive, consistant power band, and the suspesion was nice touch...hmmm.... and its just plain sweet looking...

yeah, when people want to get a little extra out of their sleds, let's not just say buy a different brand. clearly, he has already bought a brand new one, and what's the point in getting another one. plus, he probably did some reasearch and decided what he wanted, and that he might want some extra power out of it.

no one's gonna say "ok. i just threw down around 10 grand for this new machine, but ill just buy another new sled, and start with that one."

plus, the RX-1 has a lot of power, it's not like he's starting with a sled that isnt the performance model. (this is another thing that annoys me, when people suggest buying a different brand.)
