According to my old Skidoo racing manual these machines with the low windshield on the Mach Z, are wind tunnel tested with the driver tucked down behind the the windshield. This makes a difference of up to 5 or more mph in no wind conditions.
You are correct my friend. If you really want to slow a sled down add tons of studs with steel backers or a paddle track. My 2000 MXZ 700 would do 106 with the stock track and 88 with 1 1/4 track. That was stock. After mods It was up to 117 with 96 studs down the center and polymer backers. Reshaped the domes, added ufo's, carbon reeds Goodwin clutch kit and secondary helix/ spring. Different gears, low windshield, but stock pipe and can. Loved the flow maser sound of the stock system. Ahh, the good ol days, when you could buy an awesome new sled for $7000. Now they are the cost of a brand new 96 impala SS. Ridiculous.
I had a 2004 Blair Morgan 800 I built the motor I topped out at 117 miles an hour on gps felt really good I also had a 1999 triple formula III loved that sled too now it’s 2007 Mach Z 1000 super fast for normally aspirated machine love the triple sound!
Great video!!! Are you peddling the gas or cluch shifting with the Rev drops? Those machs are 120mph+ machines when you roll up on the throttle down the lake or trail. Absolutely love the muscle sled of the big four brands. They push ones question " Holly f#@k " to how fast you want to go. Google grip 115mph is an every day speed. 122mph your hook and alive. I've seen 129mph down ice with no extra favoritism with a 809machz . Great video to help keep alive the muscle sleds and 3 cycl addiction. Just purchased a 2002 mach z with 4200km on it super clean machine. Of you guys keep us in the loop for the 3 cycl tour/day/weekend I'd love to join. Ride safe, arrive alive. God bless sleds!
I’ve owned 2 Mach Zs. Winter ride em and one was a grass drag sled. Whoever told you 120+ stock is dreaming. If you run 112-114 mph you got a quick one. Swap the gear out in the chaincase and you’ll pick up top end but the clutching on a Mach z is set up to run 110. 120+ I’ve never seen it!
Are you set for a distance? If so guns usually shorten the track up vs timing system. Clutching is off if belt is that hot. Do a warm up stand , cold motor hot pipe makes more mph. Slide lube and get rid of wheels makes more speed, lay down behind windshield better and run a lower windshields. That sled to get to 110mph in 1000' is very doable but you have a lot of work to get there. Xcr 800 show room stock can do 108mph with just good chassis setup and proper speed running procedure, little jetting good gas!
there is something wrong with that motor and or clutches stock it should be nipping at 110 maby 120 if its properly tuned up with the factory track and 97 pipes/ignition (99 they dialed them back to keep them from melting down)
Wtf.lol. Mach 1. P700’s do 108-110 all day on a radar gun and ive never seen any Mach Z do under 115 on a radar gun including the 780’s. Usually 118 or so. but what do I know, I don’t have a tv show.
I’ve got a 2002 mxz x 800 with 1530 original km. All factory, just the studded track. I toss it around the yard for about an hour for the season. I wonder how it would do.
That sled should easily do 110miles per hr i had one did 110 and more. Whats the secondary set at? Drop that to position 1 and you will see 110+ miles per hr
Lots of comments about how fast people’s personal old sleds are. However how many people have verified their speed with an ACTUAL radar gun? I bet very little.
101mph for a skidoo triple is child's play. If it was studded and gripping properly. They run 110mph alday. 118.6 my 1999 mach1 did every weekend. And crazy part is I got 30,000km on that engine on amsoil dominator. Pull sled home drag racing. Doubling drag racing to see if we could wheelie across lakes. And it did it for 16yrs until a gas line broke to the middle cyclender leaning out. And ultimately it blew bottom end middle cyclendar
And I speaking quarter mile not 5km down the lake . 118.6 raven lake quarter mile. The sled 1999 mach 1 I've seen over 200kph a few times on proper speed condtitons
Man my 600 sdi it’s 100 easy would take this in a race if your gonna claim it can only get 101 but you definitely need to be open on the throttle the whole run
Throw as much at it as you want, you still aren't going to drop the XCR or the Tcat from the top wrung of the ladder. And both of them were just stock sleds.
@@wasupfool5692 Agree. The Tcat was king of the lake for years. The XCR and Mach Z are not slouches. Thet just didn't have the extra cc's. All were good sleds. Just pick your favorite!
You should be tucking under the cowel and that helmet isnt helping you any with the sharp duck bill catching all the air coming at you bot to mention i seen you sand bagging on that throttle there you silly goose
The speedo was right around 105-7 indicated so not that much different. There was a lot going on at the end of the track for the transition from ice to deep snow, with no brakes! I felt it prudent to look ahead then down at the gauges.

I was gonna say something about it him sitting fully upright having a decent impact on his speed
With that motox helmet that's 2pm right there

Tired old girl needs a refresh
That engine is in serious need of a refresh
Sounds great to me. The top end screams really good and at the initial take off, doesn't sound like the engine is tired at all.
I had a 2004 Blair Morgan 800 I built the motor I topped out at 117 miles an hour on gps felt really good I also had a 1999 triple formula III loved that sled too now it’s 2007 Mach Z 1000 super fast for normally aspirated machine love the triple sound!
that ice looks rough. She's hopping all over the place
Hard to believe it’s only 101 mph. My 2001 ZR 800 used to run 112 mph on radar.

@blandishblaze well in 2002 my 1999 mach 1 did 118mph at raven lake radar run. Guess I have had luck with my set ups.
My 1998 was topped at 112.thing was a rocket.
On ice this sled should do 110-115mph easy she’s tired
Agreed, my 600 carb renegade does 93mph on gps on hard pack snow, no picks. That 800 triple will do 110+ no problem from factory, sweet sled though!

I’m yelling at my phone for ya to duck down and get low.. wind resistance man!!!! Lol
You should do a comparison new sled ( all makes ) speedometer reading vs. GPS vs. Radar gun speeds !
I think a healthy triple will pass any new sled at 100kph and have a faster top speed.
Wtf.lol. Mach 1. P700’s do 108-110 all day on a radar gun and ive never seen any Mach Z do under 115 on a radar gun including the 780’s. Usually 118 or so. but what do I know, I don’t have a tv show.
Add 3 mph if you tuck that big head down behind windscreen.
The last run. You pined it then let off and pined it as you were going past the radar. ?? If you pin it you will be a lot faster then 101mph.
I’ve got a 2002 mxz x 800 with 1530 original km. All factory, just the studded track. I toss it around the yard for about an hour for the season. I wonder how it would do.
They are good for 110 to 113 mph
Nothing personal but how much do you weigh ?
That sled should easily do 110miles per hr i had one did 110 and more.
Whats the secondary set at? Drop that to position 1 and you will see 110+ miles per hr

But who does speed runs sitting straight up plowing the wind lol...this guy should know better.
She is tiered
So tired!!!
Wow 101mph 🤩
That’s not good.
Yeah no it’s not. The Yamaha srx or the viper would do better

@@jadenverduin4348 I agree it's a fudged video.
And I speaking quarter mile not 5km down the lake . 118.6 raven lake quarter mile. The sled 1999 mach 1 I've seen over 200kph a few times on proper speed condtitons
Man my 600 sdi it’s 100 easy would take this in a race if your gonna claim it can only get 101 but you definitely need to be open on the throttle the whole run
And yet, your speedo is not correct either. Gps is the only way.
@@grantdubridge7995 even if true that still doesn’t support the fact that 101 on this sled is very very poor
something wrong with that 800 it should easy do way over 100mph
Throw as much at it as you want, you still aren't going to drop the XCR or the Tcat from the top wrung of the ladder. And both of them were just stock sleds.
New the Mach would give the XCR Everything it could handle but neither would catch the thundercat up top.
@@wasupfool5692 Agree. The Tcat was king of the lake for years. The XCR and Mach Z are not slouches. Thet just didn't have the extra cc's. All were good sleds. Just pick your favorite!
@@oldwrench4213 srx!😂
The Skuz Z is just too tired to get much better. I did find some more speed tho! Stay tuned.
@@jeffsteenbakkers4435 For a tired sled, 101mph isn't anything to sneeze at. That still can put a lot of sleds behind it.
That is running terrible for an 809... Something is very amiss.
You should be tucking under the cowel and that helmet isnt helping you any with the sharp duck bill catching all the air coming at you bot to mention i seen you sand bagging on that throttle there you silly goose
Now the real question, what did the speedo show? Take out the studs and get rid of that weight.
The speedo was right around 105-7 indicated so not that much different. There was a lot going on at the end of the track for the transition from ice to deep snow, with no brakes! I felt it prudent to look ahead then down at the gauges.
If you're still running stock main jetting, you are probably too lean..
But who does speed runs sitting straight up plowing the wind lol...this guy should know better.
It is not hard to understand that you are a polaris and AC guy, just talking Ski-Doo and Lynx whenever you get a chance to do it... 'Not subscribe'
it sounds just flat...not making any power.
