sheerider11 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Oh man. It's stock stock. Good luck. Hope you don't have other hobbies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShee661 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 lol, yeah I think I need to give up a couple others. So what do you say for 'absolute' mods if it's stock, stock? I'll be riding desert and dunes mix mostly. Not that great a jetting so may leave it as-is for awhile b4 performance mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yeah suspension first then power. Like get rid of that stock swing arm, they are junk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strm Trpr Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Before you do anything buy a Clymer Service Manual. Next, read the forums, read, read and read some more. Learn to tune your carbs. Tuning>> FAST Carb Sync Tool Tuning>> Digital Tach from eBay Learn about essential tools and how they work. Compression tester obviously, but what about a leakdown tester? Suspension mods are key to Duning and Desert riding. Look into aftermarket fat bars and an anti-vibe steering stem. Huge in the handling department. I have a +2+1 taller and forward Fireball steering stem coupled with Pro Taper Contour 1-1/8" with ODI Rogue clamp on grips and OMG what a difference. I was immediately way faster due to a huge confidence boost in the control and handling department. Fireball Racing for control arms and swingarm. BVC Racing for Stage 3 Elka front and rear shocks. Delete the airbox in favor of K&N filters and Outerwears mounted directly to the carbs. Like DuneCat mentioned, TORS Delete Stock Intakes Mod'd for VF4's and retain stock cross-over tube V Force 4 Reeds A nice set of pipes for Desert and Dunes is CPI. They're more of a drag pipe than say FMF or Toomey T5's. Trinity Stage 4 pipes are a very good pipe if you can find some. Look into DMC pipes. SLP is another good pipe that makes a shit ton of power, but signs off about 1k rpm sooner than say CPI. Billet Chariot or Mattoon timing plate set to +4*. And don't forget about maintenance.

dunesovertrails Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Pipes, k&n pods, reeds, then suspension in that order for starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that style leave that thing looking as stock as possible besides the necessary pipes, motor mods and suspension. But cherish those plastics if they're in good shape!
