Does anyone know the maximum lug size that would fit on a 97 V-max 500 xt?
short track.

You should be able to sneek in a ripsaw 1.25" track.Depending on what kind of ridding you do 1" should be good enough.

Did anyone ever get 1.25 lug on a 97 V-Max 500?

we got a 97 vmax with a 1.25 on it right now

If you don't stud it you might be able to get away with the 1.25. Also if you have clearance issues there are simple options to make more room for the taller track.

For instance take out or cut down the stud protectors. You could also change from the 10 tooth to the 9 or 8 tooth drivers. If height is still an issue try to find an M10 to put under the vmax. You could also possibly make new braces and relocate the mounting points for the Proaction. This is a last resort since it changes the geometry a bit.

What kind of shape is your xt in?

Its in great shape im trying to get some extra power outta it.I got carbon tech reeds,v-stopper notch,b&b race scliencer and im running all my jets down 1 size.I have a bet with a guy that when christmas comes I racing a polaris xc 600 a 98. So if anyone can give me some pointers besides clutching and track feel free.

it all depends on what kind of race ?600 ft,1000ft or across the lake.you can try different gears but yoy gotta know the distance you'll be racing......need more info to help you out........... :devil:

We will be both short and long distance racing? Im just not sure on the numbers 1/4 mile to about 3 miles both different areas. His 98 Polaris XC600 is stock.
