ok i went to gaylord this weekend and finally got to put some miles on my new xf7sp the firts tank was premix and i thought that it ran real well then the second tank of gas came and i couldnt belive it this thing is getting faster the third tank this thing is screaming my buddy was ridding a 03 zr 900 with a 1000cc kit and that was no match for the xf the clutch kit from speedwerx kicks a@@ great pull i rode 253 miles on it the fox floats shocks makes it feel like your riding on a cloud i did notice a slight bog sometimes on take off have not checked plugs yet or did a oil ratio check the track streched and had to tighting that up all i can say is great pull and very quick in my eyes this is one of the best sleds i have every rode well worth the money i have a d&d y pipe on order and a high flow air intake comming for it cant wait to ride it again i wonder if this thing will get any faster oh yeah it jumps perfect later

If you find the bog, let me know. I had the occasional bog off the line also. I had it to the dealer at the end of last season to see if they could figure it out. They thought it may have been in the cutching?? Have to check it again this season. Never did see anyone on here exactly pinpoint what to check?

Smokin' em tweeds again, eh boy? :share_doobie:

all i know is that they said go and we took off and i mnever seen his sled next to mine could be driver or what not but i beat that sled :banana:

you say you have a speedwerks clutch kit on the xfire did you notice a big difference than the stock one, Im in the process of looking at kits for my xfire. I had a ODS clutch kit on my firecat and loved it but im not sure if ODS has one for the xfire yet what do ya think?

I spent this week as my first on my XF700 too, never driven anything close to a 700 before, let alone brand new and MAN this thing can rip your arms off with it's takeoff! I feel like I'm driving a missle, smooth acceleration too, not jerky. Throttle-->zap GONE. :banana:

that must be the longest sentence ever posted on hcs.....

just messing, sounds like u got a good first impression, hope it stays that way for you in the future. :div20:

i really like the speedwerx clutch kit i have never tried a ODS but i am sure Dan has a great clutch kit also the speedwerx takes off about 4200 and has great pull through low and midrange get off throttle and back on it is right there dont lose anything really any clutch kit out there will probally do your sled good as they are pretty close just what company you want to go with IMO

periods and commas. PLEASE. I can barely read that jumbo-rumble-sentance.

But seriously, you'll find that up to 500 miles every time you go out, it will be quicker and quicker. It does fly every nice too. I am very interested in hear more about the clutch kit. Post what kind of top end you are getting after you have it broken in, and with that kit, what belt are your running?

Oh yea , I put 170 on this weekend and Im pretty impressed . it rides nice and pretty quick I ran my buddys 05 mach z (with a few mods)and I had a slight bog out of the hole and he jumped out about a sled and a half and stayed there till about 80 then I backed off .still brakin in!!

I had a bog on my Crossfire 7 last year, after checking out a few things I found it was too rich on the oil. My dealer leaned it down and it made the bog go away and worked a lot better after.

Make sure your belt deflection is very tight, almost squealing at idle. Seems that and a maladjusted oil injection unit are to blame for the dreaded bog.
