anyone have a boost bottle on ya sled? like it? any difference?

i was thinking about getting a 98 xc 700 on here with a boost bottle..i liked the idea...i am kikin my self that i did not go with it..i like my 98 touring..but i think i would of liked the xc more

citationuser, lean the needle clip to the 2nd from the top on your sled, and drop the mains one size from stock. Also change the stock gold/silver primary spring to a gold one. This will wake that sled up a bit. Also be sure to adjust the belt deflection to 1 1/4", no more, and the engine torque stop set tight, no air gap.

Thats on my 600 right?

Yes, your XLT 600 touring.

how about settings for an 04 800 classic , i have a slp airhorn kit and a tourge stop , cept for that its stock. appreciate any help

Jet the mains down 2 from stock, which should mean to 440's, and turn the fuel screw in 1/2 turn from the stock setting as shown on your owners manual spec sheet. Also be sure the air screws are set to spec. Keep the needle setting stock. Make sure you have the new CCW black w/red stripe secondary spring, and if you want to keep the secondary clutch stock, put in 68 gram polaris weights, with a black/white primary spring, or 10-66 weights with the stock blue/white spring. I would also be changing the ves to the new titanium or stainless ones. You may be able to go to 430 or 420 mains, depending on if you run long wide open throttle runs, the temps you ride, and the snow conditons. Always try to run good 91 ocyane fuel minimum in the 800.

already changed ves valves at end of last winter , was riding in 35 degree temps at end of march in slushyconditions and it was running 5-8 mph faster then ever before i changed em. always run highest octane available in it, thanks for the help will do it like ya said , much appreciated.

i run northern maine most of the time a lot of wide open running 80-100 temps usualy +15 /-20

Pockets..should i run br9es plugs in it with that change?

No, keep the BR8ES, or RN3C champion.

Ive got a boost bottle on my '01 600. I dont think it gained me anything.
Ive ridden my mother's '02 600 EDGE X and honestly, mine doesnt feel any stronger than her's and our sleds are pretty much identical (stock clutching, stock motor).
Ive thought about taking the boost bottle off, but to do that I would need to get some new carb boots that dont have the hole cut in the top. At $45 a piece, I think I will leave the boost bottle on untill the boots start to crack (knock on wood, I hope they dont).
I also had a boost bottle on my '90 Phazer II, but it came with that from the factory.

Sorry one more question...Does it matter what fuel i should run like 89 or 93..i am going to run 89 unless you say otherwise :div20:

89 octane is all you need, it can handle good 87 actually.

Ok boost bottles will really only make a difference on a sled that does not have exhaust valves. Like on the 98's a boost bottle is a must on that sled, because they really straiten out throttle response because it equals out intake pressure, overall making the sled run a lot better. If its on a sled that has exaust valves you really wont notice much of a difference however why would you take it off if its not hurting anything? I have had one on my 98 700 RMK since the bottles came out and no cracked carb boots for me yet, just make sure to look at them when you clean the carbs.

Twin pipes, a clutch kit and a boost bottle really make these sleds rip, I love my 98 and plan on keeping it forever.
