I have a 2012 XXC 1000 with 500 miles, running 25.5" Pitbull Growlers, stock clutch, Gates Kevlar belt w/200 miles on it, Muzzy dual slip-on, VFJ plug-n-play dobek and UNI air filter.

When I pin it, motor will jump to 7200 mph and then within 75 yards will fall off to 7050rpm and maintain that for 1/4 mile or so until rev limiter kicks in at 77mph. Bike runs fine without backfiring, bogging etc..wheelies at 15mph no problem.

I own a second 2012 1000 XXC with 500 miles on it (guest quad) that is bone stock. It pulls my Muzzy bike by 8 lengths up to 77mph even though the Muzzy bike sounds wayyyyy faster! My brother has a 2012 XXC 1000 and he smokes me by 8 lengths as well. We are both 175lbs.

Before Deadman chimes in about heavy tires, I swapped back to the stock Holeshots and race outcome was identical, which leads me to believe something isn’t right with my setup. Like I need less pin weight.

I don’t think 7050 is enough rpm, the other 2 bikes hit 7600rpm, what say the guru’s? What should typical RPM be when you are WOT? Should it be a constant RPM for the duration of the run? I haven’t jacked with John’s controller settings.

Whats everybody using for syn oil,diffs(frt/rr),trans etc? considering Amsoil, Mobile 1, or royal purple. for a gade 1k:aniwheeler6:

Hi to all. About three weeks ago I replaced a bad fuel pump in my renegade 500. Well the new one sounds fine if the bike is cold and hasn’t been ran. But if I take it down the road and turn it off, once I turn the key to let the fuel pump prime it makes an awful screeching noise. I can unplug the main wire of the pump and plug it back in and all is good? Any thoughts are appreciated.

hi all,

I have an 500 rene with piston slap.:th_smiliefrustrated. How long will the engine last it has 2000 miles on it. Also how bad is piston slap?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks:th_smiliethumbsup:

Is East Coast Snorkles still in business? I cant find them…or is there better snorkles kits for the Gade 1000, any Pics of 2" snorkles set-up? Thanks…

Have a 07 renny that will not start, will turn over but will not run at all. Has spark, and fuel just won’t hit

I am strongly considering the Can Am Renegade 1000 X XC I am looking to start training and getting my fat ass in shape to ride the Vegas to Reno race in 2016….yes it will take me a year plus to get in shape & prepared.
I am seeing some great deals on the 2014 models and am wondering if other than "bold new graphics" there are any other changes that would make me consider spending several thousand more for the current model.

Thanks!!
