I have a 05 VX 110

I fitted a Solas 18/22 impeller
R&D intake grate,
R&D pump seal kit,
and removed air filter altogether

my ski now showing and doing 64-65 mph compared to 54/55 before
difference of approx 9 mph from the stock items!!!!!!!

am now delighted with the ski as it has improved initial take off and handling also.

no way . you may gain a few mph but not 9

thats why its called a "dream-o-meter" you needs to either GPS it or radar it to get real speeds.. i would say with those mods you would gain 2-5 mph.. and be running in the mid 50's ..... the speedomters are off anywhere from 3-7 mph or more...

He must have been going downhill with the wind at his back.

Bones80 · 10-29-2009, 01:12 PM

before the mods was reading 55
now after fitting them reading 65
will try it on gps this weekend, friend on his RXP beside me and his clock readin 64

The speedo's on these ski's are not near accurate. If it is that importanat to you, GPS it so you really know the correct speed. I have an 07FX HO with K/N filter , riva stacks , free flow exaust, R/D intake and ride plate and I dont break 63, 64

his clock is also a dream-o-meter.... all the speedo's on ski's are just a magnetic wheel that water passing by spins and gets a speed reading based on revolutions... VERY rare that they are correct, they always read faster, so riding next to him will also be a false speed only a GPS or radar gun will get an accurate reading.

truthfully I GPS'ed ,mine at 51, reading on speedo was 53. Pretty close

I agree, its not a correct speed, the very best we have ever done on a vx is 54 briefly on teh buzzer, calm water, 140 pound rider, wind at back..lol.. just once, most times were at 52 best, i know of no vx that has went better than 56 gps with mods and stuff.

Who cares about MPH. Does it feel quicker and is it more fun?
