Thanks TMS. Everybody will no doubt appreciate your efforts !
5 miles and .9hrsHey great info. How many miles were on the engine for this test.
Aww okay. Im thinking it will pick up some after its broken in. Always been my experience that 4 strokes don't start really hitting their stride until after a few hundred miles +/- on them. Also makes me wonder if Polaris builds in any sort of recalibration into their black box. I haven't seen any info on this, but many power sport manufactures do have a "break in chip" that more or less forces brand new machines to not run at their full potential until the engine seats for protection.5 miles and .9hrs
I dont think there holding it back. 8,450 RPM.SDid some testing yesterday afternoon with the Ace for everyone wondering how fast it is. Used a GTech Pro to do the testing and it was all performed in high gear on flat pavement and about 75 degrees out; 210lbs driver. (FYI, this particular GTech has been tested against DriftBox and track timers and is pretty darn accurate) I'll be posting up some dyno numbers tonight and hopefully a video if all goes well. These are our personal baseline numbers before we throw some boost to this thing so results may vary
0-10 mph in 1.115 seconds
0-20 mph in 2.194 seconds
0-30 mph in 4.372 seconds
0-40 mph in 8.022 seconds
60ft. in 2.869 seconds @ 23.0 mph
330ft in 8.354 seconds @ 40.9 mph
1/8th mile in 13.355 seconds @ 46.32 mph
top speed attained was 53 mph flat out at 8450rpm's
No surprise with a brand new engine to see high RPM as they haven't built up a lot of back pressure. 8450 RPM's is really high. But as the piston rings seat in, it should build up more pressure, increasing torque and lowering top RPM's. And they may not have anything built in as I suggested some companies do to protect the engine in its initial break in period. Its seen quite often on current snowmobiles to help protect the engine from someone holding to the pin brand new with no miles, out on the trail.I dont think there holding it back. 8,450 RPM.S
There is a break in procedure you're "supposed to follow" as listed in the user manual.No surprise with a brand new engine to see high RPM as they haven't built up a lot of back pressure. 8450 RPM's is really high.

I believe that will be a much better test. LMK Thanks PaulYeah. Around 20% loss to tire. Big drum was causing this thing to drag on mph quite a bit. I stopped about 7200rpm because power was clearly dropping off at that point. Numbers will probably vary. This is for my own use. I have access to a smaller roller dyno that I might try to use this weekend to see what different numbers I come up with.
