Anyone with a new 2017 xp 1000 sportsman what are you seeing for top speed ?
Took mine out yesterday and was pretty sure was banging rev limiter at 120kmh on paved rd. Didn't get a chance to look at rpms though. Only have 4 hrs on bike and just gave it a quick crack down rd. Was 90% sure was in performance mode not standard
Do they have any kind of break in mode like sleds. ?
From what Ive heard this bike should approach near 80mph stock ?
Was hoping not to have to reflash ecm yet or re-clutch ? Yes i know it not a race quad but we do a lot of high speed forestry roads, i get it. But i bought a 1000 for a reason
Can tell you one thing this thing pulls like a bear from 80 km/hr roll on to 120.
I know there is a speed limiter in work mode of 70km/hr, is there a limiter in standard mode ?
Well hoping then that I just wasn't in performance mode and that top speed is limited in standard mode. Hopefully can get out again this weekend and recheck.
I've had my 2015 1000 Touring up close to 85 (tires pumped up fairly firm), not sure exactly where because my eyes were glued to the road I've heard claimed that it's speed limited to 86.
I found my 2015 to be quite squirely over 100 km/h with the stock tires. didnt push it much higher for more than a few seconds. plenty of throttle left.
however... with my new 29" radials... hahaha. doing over 100 km/h on (or off) road is AMAZING!!!
120 km/h easy.
add high flow exhaust and intake..... flash PCM... nos/ turbo... you'll be able to generate 1.21 Giggawats to take you back to the future.

I haven't done so on a more recent model, but back on my older machines I added an additional hole in the rotor ring that matched the speed sensor and the speedo did respond.
When I send my computer in to get flashed with a performance fuel mapping I will see if they can also adjust my tire size, since in the new models it's all done inside the computer
Well ran it down the road yesterday, in performance mode. Seen 125 km/hr =78 mph.
Happy with that, started to get a little squarely at that speed. There was a little left but was close to rpm limiter which i believe is set at 7550-7600 rpm
my question is if i was to install a clutch kit do they come with more clutch weight where it would get me away from rev limiter but still maintain my top end and hope fully crack the 80mph mark ?
I know if i get the ecm reflashed it will bump the the rev limiter by how much not sure ?
Or after warranty expires bite the bullet and do both ?
Anyone that has clutched and or re-flashed their xp 1000's is there a noticeable improvement in seat of the paints performance overall that makes the $800 investment worth it ?

well sad things first. there is no clutch kit or ecu flash for 2017s yet...
but for when there is...
The clutch kit will make the bike accelerate faster. you will hit the limit quicker. and can pop a wheelie with oversized tires while hitting that rev limiter faster!
ecu flash... at 450$ per flash... I would do last after increasing your intake and exhaust.

Any of the 1000's should be hitting 80+mph all day long and twice on Sunday. I think I hit 85mph on my 2015 1000. Haven't really tried on the new 1000 Touring, I did see 78mph once.
** depending on rider weight.
120 lbs. rider vs 300 lbs. rider....?
