The things definitely quick. The snow was really soft so I haven’t been able to feel the full power yet. When it gets harder and more packed it should hook up way better
Use a Polaris Almond Round spring (140/330) Weights go with 62's, your peak running RPM to shoot for is 8-8100 on a calibrated tach, for the secondary get a Polaris Silver/Blue spring and use a polaris R-11 (45/36) helix in hole #2 or 3 depending on where the RPM's peak out at, this setup should work nicely when you install your 136 track and the 22/40 gears, stock gearing on those sled is 24/40, top end speed will probably only be in the 90-95 MPH range with the longer track if you drop 2 teeth on the top gear. If you want more pull from low to midrange go with a Polaris R-12 (50/36) helix, your stock helix is a straight 36 and in my opinion are not great.
I have a 2000. There aint really much info on them and lots of conflicting info as well. From what I can get 99 is called gen 2 but is a 98 with a different hood. 2000 is actually a different chassis all together. All great sleds no matter.
What do you need to know? The first XC 700s were wedge chassis in 97 a limited build of 500, purple head 220 cylinders and a hotter CDI,then the snowcheck 98s still had 220 cylinders but were updated to 824 cylinders for the rest of 98 ,in 99 the bodywork went to Gen 2 same sled as 98 except the cooling was a little different in 2000 they updated the carbs and exaust to make it more quiet,02 went to Edge chassis and power valves.
@@dirtyfacegeorge9938 my brother had a 98 with 220s. Only changes were heal clicker and a boost bottle. That sled was insane. I got the 2000 sp 700 because i knew it was detuned a bit and its an odd ball. They change alot for the 45th anniversary. They changed the clutch and bolt, put longer radius rods making it wider. Gas tank and seat are different. Read in one acticle they actual changed the chassis for the xc and xcr 800. That was the lightest xcr by Like 20 lbs. making those the only true gen 2s for xc 700 was 2000 and 2001 1/2. The 1/2 year is what I am looking for next. I luv the black paint over red and its odd. I think the xcr and some others used that chassis for a few more years.
@@thesenutz77 yes sir you are correct not sure about the chassis thing tho ,but I can find out for sure, my sleds are what started out as a XC deluxe 600 wich has been extended, edge skid 700 top end, and I just got a 2003 XCR 800 ,the holy grail 😁
@@dirtyfacegeorge9938 Jealous Af. I would love to find a Gen 2 xcr. I havent had my 700s long but So far I luv them. It dont feel much slower then the 98 but i am running stock clutches kinda and them 98s are just stupid quick,
@@gabrielwathne1068 well, yes sir! I did not know thats what they were called. You learn something new everyday I guess eh? Thank you for that. I always found the wedge chassis to be not as nice as this or the Edge. But. Again thats only me
@@MikePurdue-ky9pm I agree the wedge chassis had its limitations but definitely looked nice! I think I accidentally deleted your previous comment sorry about that, I had a typo in my reply and tried to fix it but something got messed up and deleted the previous replies.
People dont realize how fast these things are

The 98 was faster
Thanks for taking us along. Beauty sled. I think that era will make a great 2nd unit.
Good vid.
Cheers.
I didn't see that much You were the first video that popped up awesome!
Awesome sleds I have a 2000 with 18,000 miles on it
Rebuilt or just well kept? Grabbing a 2001 700 xcsp next month. Owned an 05 rmk before.
Nice One, Love my 98 xc700, great sleds!
The 98 was faster
Nice sled
I have the exact same sled, very fun sled.
Sam
They rip for sure!
Cool. Felt like I was going along😊
Hey great vid bro I just bought my self the same sled but mine is a lil Ruff but it runs great with only 4k miles
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah so far I’m loving this 700 let’s hope it’s a good winter
Same here, but mine has 1600 miles
I would also make sure you replace the exhaust springs because mine were rusted open and started a small fire on the heat sheild
Beatiful! I have a sweet spot för theese. Greets from Sweden
Thanks!
I have the exact same sled same year it’s sitting in my garage and I’m trying to get it running for the season
You’ll love it when she’s done
nice job!

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind! Appreciate the info
That is a snow check you have there, special order, they are kinda rare, they come with a white hood
God I miss the popping crackling sound at idle.

How did you plug your electronic fuel gauge?
Came with it
Did you really just take off like that without warming up first?
I was riding it for over an hour before taking the video. It was plenty warm
The wedge chassis xc 700 looked 10x better
I had a wedge before this and personally prefer the look of the gen II much better in person

@@gabrielwathne1068 eh man that's A-OK. Have a nice day 👍
Doesn't look as fast as the older xc 700
