@@dakotaburk4576 lol your full of it. Storm was way behind the Zrt. But can be woke up. As stated I have had and many friends had storms they are extremely heavy and slow. Btw beat many with my lil 600 running their class and I was 260lbs. None of these sleds hold a chance against properly tuned srx though it's a fact. Last ice race I attended top speed of day was girl on srx. Their were a bunch of very high end all out race turbo 4 strokes there too.
Totally different class of sled. I had an XLT and it was great, but then bought a ZRT 600, the triple triples like the F3, ZRT, and maybe the XCR? were in another class from the XLT.
Oh for sure. The triple triple muscle sleds were in another class, the XCR 600 was a single pipe machine though that pumped out another 30HP than the XLT and operated in a higher rpm range and was very competitive with the factory triple triples. Them XCR's were very crisp on a cold day too. A good match up from the later 90's against that SRX 700 would be an Ultra SP 680 with a triple triple set up. They would hit nearly105 bone stock and you could really wake them up with triple pipes.
That XSR is 100mph sled for sure. On a side note, I know the 700 is oil injected but a little feathering on the throttle as you come down in rpm wont hurt anything. If you cut the throttle immediately then the carb only flows as much fuel as the idle circuit can handle. So low fuel flow means low oil flow because two stroke. Just a little something to help a 20 year old sled along. Its super clean and im Jealous!
Just to add some confusion... XSR 700 is a Motorcycle SRX 700 is a sled (blue head) SXR 700 is a sled(Red head) SX 700 is a sled PSR-SX700 is a keyboard Dang it Yamaha!!! Want to guess who makes the engine in the 2005 corolla XRS? Lol
Reading this comment section....and wow. An XLT 600 is in no way, shape or form a match for an SRX 700. There's probably a 35hp difference between these two. Even an SRX 600 would lay the smack down on an old XLT 600. I mean...they didn't even have power valves or triple pipes on that model.
Must be high altitude for a California mountain lake to be still frozen. That also explains the fat jetting on the xlt sks Also more of a fair fight if the xlt was a short track and had a set of triple pipes,after that it still gives up 103cc and case reed induction to the Yami.

First off thanks for adding to the conversation. Secondly thank you for the tips. The jetting in this sled was set up (according to the chart in the service manual) for 4,000ft at 0-20 degrees Fahrenheit. I was riding it at 6000 feet in about 40°F. As you can imagine it was very rich. This was the jetting that was in the sled when I bought it. I figured it would be a good safe place to start. My next rides I will slowly start to lean out the main jet. I feel like the sleds a lot faster than it could be right now. stay tuned for an update video once the snow starts to fly.
Also if you read the “high altitude calibration” section of the service manual. It states that I need to make some gearing and clutching changes to really take advantage of all she’s got at 6,000ft
I loved my old XLT, I had it when I was a kid riding with my friends, while they had indy 500's. As a 13 year old kid in the 90s and 00s, I got it up to 90 mph
rule of thumb if you ride in warm temps they get doggie you need to jet i can not remember if you jetted down i think you did for warm weather and jetted up for cold i left mine for cold weather my 800 zrt was a rocket! from 10 above to -20 at minus below zero that thing was wicked fast!
@@Polaris91rxl I can’t speak for the XLT because it’s not mine. And the owner hasn’t done anything to it since this video. But my sled was also a little boggy on the top end. I discovered it was jetted for much lower elevations in colder temperatures than where I run it. This caused it to be very rich. So far I’ve dropped two main jet sizes. With favorable improvement.

Comparing an SRX700 to an XLT600 is like comparing a Mclaren to a base model Chevy Aveo. I had a 95 XLT600sp from 97-02 Looked good but it was a gutless pig.
