The SPMN800 tops out about 67. 

Then new SPMNXP850 has a top speed of about 74.

I would love to see a 500 do 70.....


Me too, I have a 500 HO, was doing somr clutch fine tuning, checking out how fart he clutch was shifting out on top end.   GPS installed on a paved road and 62 mph was it with the clutch fully shifted out and motor at top rpm with 27 inch outlwas installed.

This was going slightly down hill.   Level road was about 58 mph.

Betweeen the clutches and the gearing on a 500 they won't go 70 unless in the back of a pickup.

That is because you have too big of tires on it and it is upsetting the way the clutch shifts.

I could help you on getting the clutch to shift all the way out for top end but the 500 motor doesn't have the power needed to swing the weights etc in the clutch.

Well depending on how your clutching is working in relation to the tires and anything else added to the machine that that could be the reason for your 57 mph top speed.   Actually that is not too bad for stock machine.

But I am betting your clutches are not fully shifting out which could be many things such as ectra weight added to the machine or the size of the tires.
