Mind you I’m not racing just using the RZR as a chase vehicle.
Any advice would be apreciated.
Top speed question. 2013 900 xp 4
So, top speed is 70 to 73 on a flat dirt road or field. Verified with GPS. Rev limiter activates. The clutch seems to show full wear pattern.
Question is, can I get more, or should I see better MPH out of stock sheave dia? Power is there.
I have a friend with the same model, 2012, Claiming close to 90 mph. Another with the jagged X 2013 claiming in the 80’S
Just interested in some schooling in this area.Attachment 146928

Disassembled & Re-sealed my 900xp headlight
After reading various threads on this forum on how to disassemble and upgrade your RZR headlights (add extra LED lights), I decided to disassemble my headlight, re-seal it with fresh silicone and reassemble.
Here is how I did it.
First, I removed the headlight and cleaned it. I also removed the 2 screws on the back side of the metal housing. Then I placed the headlight in my oven (I don’t own a heat gun) at 170 degrees (the lowest setting on my oven) for 20 minutes. Wearing mechanic’s gloves, I carefully removed the headlight from the oven and placed it on some cardboard. Using a utility knife, I carefully traced the edges of the plastic headlight lens over and over. This slowly, but surely removed the silicone. After 10 minutes or so, the headlight cooled down, so I put it back in the over for another 20 minutes. Then I removed it and continued running the utility knife around the edges of the lens to remove more silicone material. Then I used a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry up against the edge of the lens…going around the lens as I did this to try to gently maneuver the lens away from the metal housing. Eventually, the lens broke free and I was able to pry back the 2 tabs on the plastic lens and remove the lens.
From that point, it was just a simple task of cleaning up the old silicone in the channel around the edges of the metal housing and wiping down the lens. I bought some black RTV silicone (which is heat resistant up to 500 degrees). I could have bought some red RTV which is rated for higher temps, but I didn’t want to use a red colored RTV as that may look ugly around the outside of the headlights. I wish I could have found some high temp CLEAR silicone, but my local store didn’t have any. That is why I chose the black RTV silicone. Hopefully, the black RTV will seal up good (haven’t tested it yet).
After I carefully wiped down the inside of the headlight housing and the black motherboard, I applied some black RTV to the 2 holes (inside and outside) where the screws are mounted on the back side. Then I inserted the 2 screws. Next, I applied black RTV to the channel around the edge of the metal housing and carefully re-installed the clean lens (making sure both tabs on the lens are installed all the way). Once it dried (in an hour), I remounted the headlight to the RZR. I hope to test it out this weekend at an upcoming XC race (which might be muddy). Hopefully, this repair holds up.

I hope this thread helps others thinking about doing the same repair.
Schrader Valves
I picked up some Schrader valves from Napa. Bled the shocks and pulled the caps. I had to rethread the Schrader to match thread pitch tap I had, then tapped the cap and pipe taped the Sh!t out of it! :). Viola! Back in business…
Just an FYI for people who are thinking of rebuilding their shocks. It may be beneficial to take a little time to upgrade to the Schrader.
