Best I have seen is 106 a couple of times. With only 200 miles on yours I would think it will improve. Check your belt tension to be sure you are shifting out fully.

107 no m10 it will get beter with more miles but m10 will slow you down.

if your has an m-10 with a new track and engine, i can see that. if you want more top end let the track and motor break in some. if you suck the m-10 up into the tunnel several inches it will help on top end. but you didnt buy the sled for its top end ability, you bought a 4 stroke with m-10 in a luxury class frame. you bought a high miles per day touring sled that is super comfy and nice to drive.

My wifes 07FST IQLX is parked with a MFD readout of 110 max speed.
We did not see readouts of over 100 until the sled had 1000 miles or so.
Yours should get better. Give it some time.

low to mid 90's is normal. I had the same sled, and on perfect conditions mine broke 100 once. usually mid 90's. Something to remember when riding with others though, is that your speedo is probably very accurate. Mine was within 1 mph of gps. some other brands were off 8 to 10 mph. so don't be so concerned with the 100 mph mark, just see how many other sleds that do over 100 are behind you

Just got my 06 FST Classic back from a 2,500 mile sevice. They found the valves on the cylinder near the PTO adjusted incorrectly (too close). Also had them install the new style drive belt. Let's see what that will do for the top end speed and gas mileage.

in perfect conditions, ive had my 06 fst switch up to 108, 104 with two people on it(1500 miles). normal conditions i can get 100 easy. but when it was new i could only get 90 out of it.
the new kevlar belt number is 3211121, its a little more expensive, but idk if its worth it yet.
