You should update that 700xx sway bar dude! There's a guy on (I believe his username is JRKDeadeye) Ebay that has the 9/16" sway bar that he builds and I love mine! It definitely improved the machine in handling. The sway bar is around $100.
Is this where we start the oil debate? Haha. I use T6 in my 700xx, wet clutch loves it and my buddies Raptor cant go on the rocky trails like this can. May be slightly faster on a straight away depending who has the jump but not worth giving up the trail ride. I have had 400s and 450s but this one is a keeper! Best all around ride and if you see them listed for sale they are usually sold fast.
I believe those loosing their engines are for a couple of reasons. 1. Running flat out for long distances running with a fuel commander set to lean and not compensating for an aftermarket exhaust. 2. As you mentioned about the oil system being a dry sump and at high speeds, the bottom ends are running dry for lack of oil. Slow it down once in a while and give the oil reservoir a chance to catch up. The system just doesn't hold enough oil for long extended fast runs. Just my 2 cents worth. I can't really substantiate it even though I bought mine new and after all these years, it only has 32 hours run time on it.
I agree thats why I like to highlight the importance of oil changes on dry sump machines even more. I live here in Florida, we are legally allowed to ride next to the road on the "ditch" but there is parts of the road that dont have a ditch next to it so my buddy who borrowed the bike just improvises and tries to be courteous with traffic
I think with a little modification didn't make a good street bike you know some regular tires some turn signals maybe go with gear up since obviously on the road you don't need to have all that bottom end just to keep the revs down you know when you got them in the higher PM as far as 55 60 MPH so it'd be more of a cruising speed but other than that you know I think that would make a nice this motorcycle you know street bike I don't know just stop you look like it would
Great video bro. Really appreciate it. Was on the fence about purchasing a 700xx.
whoever watched the last 2 two minutes is the mvp

Is a programmer a must for the 700 for reliability or just a good mod?
i believe stock ecu is best so if you have to diagnose issues, you have one less thing to go through
i have the volume at 100 percent and i can barely hear you. i really wish i knew what you were saying.
