Everybody was comment or worry about top speed but to be honest I not worry so much about it since I'm not near any open land to get crazy full speed, only on a frozen lake on the winter but that's pretty much it, everything else is just trails in the woods no enough for constant full throttle anyways, also I noticed that everyone who did the swap used the oddy secondary clutch witch may explain the possible lost of power so I'm trying to adapt and use the Polaris secondary clutch, I'm wondering if that would make a big difference since that was the way it was engineered to move a 696lbs and the oddy is 592lbs, no mention that if work as good as I think, it can be tune for better performance, but first I want to get it to work with stock clutches and go from there
I am almost in the same boat as you with regards to top speed for an extended run. I live and ride in the mountains so speed is very short lived or you fly off a cliff or hit some trees. Most of our top speed I bet was under ten seconds in duration and then very hard on the brakes to make a turn, dodge a rock or a washout in the road.
With respect to your comment above on clutching --- in my opinion I think the real issue is the gearbox.
The oddy ratio is 10 to 1 and I think the Polaris is 3 to 1 ?? Not sure on this though. If that is the case then the clutching will be off. This needs some investigating.
Edit: Also keep in mind that the Polaris HO is a four stroke and the oddy a two stroke. I think there is a big power difference there because of that. The Polaris would have the torque but remember we set our clutches so that they don't engage until the torque curve on the two stroke is decent. The two smoke would have the rpm. From what I read in those threads above this an easy swap and it seems to work decent for what we would do with an oddy based on where we both ride.
