Rtv 1100 speed

How do you turn the rtv 1100 hydro up for a little ,more speed?
Is there a valve you can adjust?
I'm looking at buying 1..Thanks for any info..

Not sure why the rtv owners haven't posted?

I have heard it is something to do with the swash plates.
If I knew the answer I would help.

Adjusting the servo and swashplates on an RTV is an undertaking for only the most able mechanics and with the proper manual. The procedure is complex and I would not suggest this unless you have a complete understanding of the hydro trans. There are other less complex ways to get a few mph out of the RTV without playing with the hyro, but you won't get much more than 30mph.

As far as advising people on how to turn up the fuel pump or adjust the hydro, which I have been asked several times through pm's, I will not do it as I do not want to be responsible for someone ruining an expensive machine. In these instances I think it is more responsible not to pass on the information.

I do remember reading here or on another board, that you are able to get 30 mph out of the RTV, but I think it is just an adjustment to get more rpm out of the engine which is not as high on the RTV in stock form, as it is when the same engine is used on other applications.

It's not real difficult to get 30 mph out of one, but I do not know how a person can get any more than that out of one. And, as has been stated, it will void your warranty and could lead to serious damage if tickled a bit too much.

What are the adjustments you can do to get 30mph?
Right now it goes around 25mph or less.

i would say 25mph is fast enough i got my hpx doing 30mph but i never go that fast i always thought man if i can get it to go faster but after i did i found out it just wasn't meant to go that fast .lol i spend most of the time at half throttle or below. like others have posted it's really not worth the the effort and trouble to make it go 5mph faster plus your gonna end up brakin stuff.

Tommy,
I'm getting 27 mph out of mine. ( GPS readings ) , Don't think I would jeopardize anything just to get another 3-4 mph out of the machine. Like you, I don't run mine very fast....
Running like we do, it is not enough of a time frame to worry about, your really not getting there much faster....

the video i "had"up if you would have noticed i didn't gun the engine infact i raely put it in 4x4 i keep it in two wheel drive with the rear locked and putt!putt! through the mud now if i go to get stuck i drop it in 4x4 and give it some gas but in 4 low it only does what?12mph so it ain't gonna go that fast but it spins the tire fast enough to cleam them off.and if i still don't move i break out the winch and then if i still can't get out i call my friend with his rhino and pray!!! he has stock tires and he has to give it all he has in 4x4 loxked just to go through what i go through in 2 wheel drive with the rear wheels locked so if i'm stuck and the winch ain't helpin he's my only hope . i can't wait til he gets his 589's then i'll feel better.

To just get to 30mph, make sure you get the throttle linkage set to give you fill throttle and then (here's where I would suggest waiting until you're out of warranty) you can turn up the pump a bit by removing the tamper-proof cap on the pump for access and making about 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn.
