Fast Polaris XC 700 - SPEED runs - torture test

Very jealous! Iv been on the hunt for a 97 xc 700 for many years.

Great vid bud, I'm in the process of bringing my dads old 96 thundercat back to life. 900 triple bored over to 1107, dnd pipes, vforce reeds, lectron jetless carbs. Was once radared at 137 mph 220 hp on Av gas.

[@benjaminjohnson765]

I almost bought one of these around 2001, went for a '00 SRX since I was doing more lake riding at the time (and they are such damn cool sleds). No doubt that triple sounded amazing with a silencer on it. As much as I loved the SRX there was always a little regret not getting the XC....just that I grew up on Polaris and seemed a more well rounded sled...maybe nows the time to start looking for one...🤔

[@benjaminjohnson765]

My buddy had a '97 Ultra...also a nice sounding sled and pulled hard when it ran. 🤷‍♂️ I was always partial to the sound of an Indy 650 with triple pipes....best sound in the world to me. 🎶 🎵

i bought a new 700 and i had it checked by radar, would bury the speedo easily at 120, but actual measured radar was 113, i raced several clutched 700s they would usually get about 1 sled length on me at holeshot, but i always reel them in and pass them on the big end. best sled polaris ever built

[@AKproXR]

Yuuup. Fastest stock 98’700 I know of locally, when lower and setup for ice and geared up (stock otherwise) ran 118

Hey man i just picked up a 1999 xc700 with 5500 miles, seems to be in decent shape for the miles. needs some work including a new recoil rope (i was able to fire it up with the clutch), fuel lines, some bar in the front steering/suspension is completely disconnected, seems like it goes in a rubber bushing thats missing, I think it needs a tie rod and other miscellaneous stuff. Any way you could guide me on getting this thing trail ready? are you in any of the facebook forums?

1) I'm not a Polarisguy but your tach seems to be reading 8500 rpm, I believe the correct peak rpm for this sled is about 8000. 2) I had no idea the speedo was that way off, I read like 118 on it, and the gps says 102,8?

[@AKproXR]

Stock, this engine would like 7800 with 220 cylinders. 800 with 824 cylinders. With a little of my magic sprinkled on it and these pipes, it actually runs happiest around 8200~ rpm. In this video I was slightly over reving it, but it seemed to like it and still pulled hard.
