2000 Vmax Power/speed Question - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

Hey Everyone, Im new to the forums here - seems like a very knowledgeable board. Heres my question. I just purchased a used 700 Vmax deluxe today, and went riding with a few friends up near dorset ontario. It was just the three of us, the sleds being a 2003 rx-1, a 2000 sxr 600, and Mine, the 700 vmax. Well, When i first rode the sled today, i thought it was pretty quick - cmae off the line decently, had an okay top end, but then i got o nthe sxr. Why is it that the sxr takes the vmax out of the whole, and has a higher top speed then my 100 CC more vmax? the sxr topped around 145- 150 Km/h, where as my vmax would only pull 140. I know something cant be right, im sure my sled is capeable of more then 140 km/h. Any ideas? Brand new plugs were put in today, and other then it bogs a bit at 6000 rpm, then having to bar it to clear the carbs, it runs perfect. I was thinking it could be the carb jettings, but im not that sure . Please share any ideas.

Thanks for your time,

Dave

Is your vmax a triple? I'm not sure if they were triples that year or not. I have a 98 vmax 600 and a 98 srx 600 and when they were both new the srx pulled out of the whole and top end pretty good on the vmax. Love my vmax though, talk about bulletproof.

Different gearing?

yes its a triple. I talked to 3 different vmax owners at school today, and they all had speeds of 115 MPH, around 185 kmh.

My sled is firing on all 3 cylinders, so that cant be the problem.
