Was in revy last week. Noticed my 2012 summit 800 154" was having a tough time following my buddies. One was on a 2010 summit 154 (which was pissing me off the most) and the other was on a 2012 identical to mine. All 3 are mostly stock minus the usual stuff like cans. After taking both of theirs for a pull I noticed both sleds were pulling approx 60km/h track speed in the snow conditions we had, and rpms were right were they needed to be. I took mine for a poke, same hill same snow, only 50km/h track speed. My sled was pulling 7900 rpm on clicker 3. The guys at the bottom said both the other sleds sounded good and that mine didnt "sound" like it was pulling as hard as theirs. It sounds and feels like my RAVE's are working fine. Sled seems to be running fine just not getting the track speed. This was the first time I paid any attention to track speed, but noticed that on the last few trips I've been on Ive had a tough time going were the rest of the group was going. I was mostly chalking it up to the break in and that the others were riding 163's and 2011 etechs and such. I now have around 700k on mine, so it souldnt be a break in thing, the other sled identical to mine that I tested and was pulling 60k track speed only had around 3-400k on it and may not have completed its break in.
So the question is, where do I start? Track tension seems ok, belt deflection seems to be set a little low from the dealer compared to my 08 but was set the same on the other 2012 154 that I was comparing against. I'm thinking somethings up with the clutches but not sure what.
And just to clarify before someone else says it, its not LOFT making hard for me to keep up.
