i just got an email today from curtis sparks racing i asked when there will be an exhaust for the XX, they say it will be out soon but does anybody know anything else about that. i have been calling and emailing to different places and all they can tell me is that there will be alot of things coming out in Febuary.

Tell them "I'm looking to pre-order".

You'll get a more definitive date.

good idea

I spoke with them this morning while trying to source a piston and they told me they haven't even had a XX in there shop yet....

 

[DblXX]

they can use mine, they always have come out with some awsome parts for honda's

 

[smo0oth1]

Call them up and offer, I was asked yesterday to ship my bike to someone for extended rear A-Arms... They needed 2 months to engineer and build em though. Dunno if i wanna go without the bike that long. They said they'll be about 2000.00 when they come out and include the extended axles.

 

[scuzz]

yeah then you get 'yer quad back all ragged by the "R&D" guys.

lol, yea that crossed my mind

I wouldn't mind so much if I lived nearby and could visit the progress. But when it's out of sight they think it's out of your mind.

i called Sparks Racing today, 10 days till they release the full exhaust for the XX, but they told me to call back in one week and place my order, prices should run about $550.

 

[VelociRaptor]

Cheaper than the Raptor exhaust.

 

[scuzz]

Probably due to the one exhaust outlet and R&D involved in two?

[DblXX]

i would almost thinik that having the two pipes like the raptor if you tune the lengths right you could almost make a scavenging effects like a multi tube header on a v8 would be.

 

[scuzz]

My thoughts too, hence the extra cost of developing them. (not making fun, but rather agreeing)

Hi, I just joined this club to learn more about what's avialable out there for the 700xx, and to pick the brains of the more experienced members. I went to the dealer the other day to pick one one, and see that I have a choice to buy a 2008 model or a 2009 for a little more. Does anyone know of any changes or improvement to the 2009 model? Also, is the curtis sparks exhaust available yet?

thanks

 

[smo0oth1]

I believe the only difference for the 09 the color option, The curtis sparks setup can be ordered toward the end of the week

 

[THREESVTS]

The only things different is the wheel base is .2" longer on the 2008 model at 49.8" and as previously stated color options for the 2009 model.

Thanks for the info. And as far as the exhaust and fuel controler is concerned, what seems to be the majorty vote on which systems works best. I am the type that cant leave well enough alone, and yet want a system I would install and never touch again.

 

[THREESVTS]

I like the Yoshi system and a PC3 EFI controller. It's what I have and they work great together.
