Shock Therapy RIS
Getting ready to send mine in but would like some feedback.
Finally got my XPT!
My first experience with the new machine was quite interesting… almost something I’d rather not admit, but it’s worth the laugh… So the shop built it yesterday after closing and called me when it was ready, by the time I got there it was dark out, and I just put it in the trailer. Got it home and of course the anxiousness of playing with the new toy couldn’t wait. I get it unloaded let it warm up and proceed to drive it around the yard, I took it out on the road and was going real easy on it and then I decided to accelerate a bit more, well it felt like it fell on it’s face and I wasn’t getting throttle response… let off the gas and it would respond again but then fall off…. reminded me of some limp mode. I went back to the house, took a quick look at the manual didn’t really see anything to remedy the problem. Now my dilemma was starting to really bum me out as I was super excited to have the new machine… I do a quick once over looking for possibility a plug was undone or some sort, well no luck. I loaded it back in the trailer so I could just drop it off in the AM. I decide i’ll just txt my buddy, (the shop owner) and let him know I’d give him a call in the morning due to the rzr feeling like it was in limp mode.
I get a txt back, "lol put your seat belt on dummy" … … … long story short you get what happened now.. so of course the seat belt interlock got me! My old rzr never had the interlock so I didn’t even think about it since I was only going for a quick ride around the yard…
Anyhow beyond that hiccup, I finally got out and gave it a quick bit of acceleration and wow…. I am simply jaw dropped at the power this thing has. It makes my old machine feel like it was a golf cart… Can’t wait to get out this weekend and really do some riding! Now I have a real reason to browse the XPT forums! :ride:
Raced a Turbo YXZ today
Next we went to the washboard. its about 1500 feet of whoops. I could get to 65 he was just behind. Couldn’t pass me at all. Next I started in 2 wheel drive to see if I could catch up to his knowing he’d get me out of the hole. I could not catch him. He put about 2 car lenghts and we stayed about like that for the length.
Went back down to the drag strip, we went from a 25mph rolling start in 4 wd. He pulled ever so slightly at 1000 feet my front tires were at his back.
The Yammi has no bottom end! He complained the all he did was spin out of the hole. On the vids you can hear him bog. He has to rev past 6000 for power. I think he needs to retune. he says he’s only running about 61/2 pounds of boost. I’m very happy with my XPT. I thought he’d get me every where.
That’s how it played out today. with some more tuning on his and paddles on both it may be a totally different story. Only time will tell.
Shock Therapy rear sway bar kit.. NIGHT AND DAY
+1 from me. When the front sway bar kit is ready for the turbo I would but it even if cost over $1000.
