Strm Trpr Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 How about you tell us what's on the bike now. If you're totally stock, then I'd start with the following: Used set of either Toomey T5's or Pro Circuit Pipe Set. Send your stock Reed cages to Wildcard Racing. For $50 they will port them and install Boysen Dual Stage Reeds. Get a K&N w/Outerwear in your Airbox and remove the lid. Eliminate TORS, clean out your Carbs and install a new larger main jet that is now needed after installing the pipes. For example, with K&N Pod Filters, my Toomey T5's like 290 main jets at sea level in 65* weather. Get an adjustable timing plate and advance the ignition to +4*. That should blow your hair back for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, these are good ideas on things he could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous039 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Get your self a set of Elka Stage 1's ($500 new) or Works Dual Rate Shocks and you will be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach45 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Get extended a arms.. Looks for any aftermarket shock that is ment for a banshee... Buy cheap and have them rebuild and re-valved for yourself, or buy new.. Get a gforce/tusk axle, then adjust your rear shock correctly. Your bike will be night and day...

bbcmudtruck Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'd rebuild, revalve and respring your stock rear shock. Look for some good +2+1 front arms and then start hunting down some shocks. I had the cheap dual rate works steelers and they are a complete waste of money if you plan on jumping anything. Elka stage 3s are where I'd start as far as shocks go. If you can afford more, then look into the Fox Float Evols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
