I Have never gotten what others claim for MPG. Just the way I ride I guess. I want range. There is no reason for a sled not to have a 12+ gallon tank. Of course then they couldn’t sell us a $150 accessory gas can that is really worth $10.
The last thing I think about when I go snowmobiling is how much my gas is gonna cost per fill up.
People don’t think anything of hauling ass 3-4 hours north with a 4 place trailer loaded down with gear and crew getting 10mpg (maybe) but will actual debate all day over a $2-3 Difference at the pump while riding their sleds. Does it really matter? Lmao
Joe, I agree for the most part mpg isn't important. I tow 375 miles one way to ride for 6 to 12 days at a time. But, arguing about sled stuff is all we got right now!<img src="http://www.hardcoresledder.com/forums/images/smilies/beer_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="" title=":bc:" class="inlineimg" />
You don't really think a stock 650 is going to beat the assault 800? I am sure it's a peppy engine, but let's be real. How will 138-140 hp, beat 155+ hp?cant wait to run one on my old d7. should be a close race.
i lost pretty consistently to the 800 assault about 1 and a half 2 lengths.
if she slaughters my dragon i might have to put in for one season after next.
no, i don 't. but neither could my 7 so a race sounds interesting against one?:dunno:You don't really think a stock 650 is going to beat the assault 800? I am sure it's a peppy engine, but let's be real. How will 138-140 hp, beat 155+ hp?
07' 700 dragon is 140 h.p. stock. should be a good race between that and a 650. the new sled weights less so that will off set the 2-4 h.p. difference.no, i don 't. but neither could my 7 so a race sounds interesting against one?:dunno:
Zr's Dragon 700 has an slp pipe, power commander with dtr map, and has clutching mods, and gearing mods. It should stomp the 650 I would bet.07' 700 dragon is 140 h.p. stock. should be a good race between that and a 650. the new sled weights less so that will off set the 2-4 h.p. difference.
All of that doesn’t mean that it runs any better than a well setup stock d7. I’ll put my money on the 650.Zr's Dragon 700 has an slp pipe, power commander with dtr map, and has clutching mods, and gearing mods. It should stomp the 650 I would bet.
His sled runs pretty good.:thumbsup:. 100+ in 1000 ft un studded. I doubt a stock 650 will do that.All of that doesn’t mean that it runs any better than a well setup stock d7. I’ll put my money on the 650.
on radar or porta tree?His sled runs pretty good.:thumbsup:. 100+ in 1000 ft un studded. I doubt a stock 650 will do that.
A lot of trail setup 800’s and some 850’s can only muster what you claim. Race prep is another story, back in 04 I had a 685 Carl’s cycle motor in race prep it would surpass 100 mph in 660’. I’m not saying the new 650 will run this good but I believe it will be quick revving and deceptively fast to the C note.His sled runs pretty good.:thumbsup:. 100+ in 1000 ft un studded.
