Finally got the 200es and 250es out on the road together, I just wanted to know that why the 200es is so much faster (top end) than the 250es, tires are pretty much the same size

How much faster is "so much faster" - my guess is that your 250ES is worn out. they should top out at about the same speed.

nah, like 15 mph difference, the 250es just seemed wound out, like a gearing issure, top end is fresh!, on both bikes

i had a 250es and my buddy has a 200es, they were just about the exact same speed, maybe the 20 was even a little quicker because is shifted better

What sized tires are on both machines? They should both have 25" rear tires. Tire size makes a big difference in a machine that you can not change sprocket size on.

i just notice you wrote tires are "pretty much the same size" there will be a huge difference from 22 inch to 25 inch tires are far as how fast they will go

**rebel33382** · 03-23-2009, 12:39 PM

they are both 25's, the 200es has new bear claws, 250es has some wooly boogers, not bald, but not brand new!

make sure you have them both set in high range

**atctim** · 03-23-2009, 02:19 PM

measure the tire heights - Are they alot different in height?

I know the 250es' are heavier, 405 lbs I think, and the 200es' are 375 lbs.
