Is it a 400TRV PLUS or a 650TRV PLUS LE ? I would expect that speed on a 400cc but the 650cc at least 60 to 65mph. Does it wheelie? May have a governor.

its the 650, thats why im disapointed, just like you i would expect a 400 to go 55 but a 650 should do at least 65 mp/h imo

If brand new call the Dealer or ask for some other Owners . If no-one on this Forum has one then check with other forums for the )& A/C 650. Do you have that windshield on maybe that would shave off a mile or three if ya took it off plus the back rest but not that much!

im looking for someone with the same bike to have a second opinion.

Just do a search with your Quad name/size/year / on a few Forums or ask on a post if you already belong.

I know this sounds really dumb but would the throttle screw be turned in?

Do you have oversized tires? That will through your speedo off as well as rob some power.
