I ran my 01 800 ZR on a lake today and it hit 112 MPH on a radar gun. The conditions were ok, with 1 inch of packed snow but warm 35 degree temperatures. The 112 MPH was OK, but it seemed a bit slow considering the sled has 140 HP. My brothers completely stock 1999 700 MACH 1 went 122 MPH and it is also 140 HP.
My sled is all stock and seems to be running out of gearing on the big end and overreving, taking the engine out of the power band. Has anyone else experienced this? When I caculate what the stock gearing and 7400 RPM will give me for top speed, I come out with 109 MPH. Has anyone changed their gearing to try and get more top speed?
So far I am not that impressed with my new (new to me) 800 ZR's power, I have not been able to trail ride it yet. My old sled (which I still own) is a 1993 T-cat that is clutched and jetted correctly. The T-cat easily out accelerates the 800 ZR to 100 MPH (5-7 sled lengths) and then keeps on going.
One other note, My 800 ZR was faster then two other 800 ZR's that were also present, so I know my ZR is not running any worse then other ZR's.
Thanks
