[sheerider4life]

umm all i can think of is a

 

 

Vitos +4 or +7 Degree Key,

Adjustible Timing plate,

reeds,

jets,

K&n,

.........thats all i can think of right now

[joehead24]

how difficult and expensive are those things to install?

[frocashmoney24]

how about shaved head or lightned flywheel, which boonman does, all of those mods are relativly cheap , u dont need the adjustable timing plate yet, and really if u could get some used pipes...anythings better thens tock

[joehead24]

is ebay good for used pipes? they look a little expesive to me. might be better off getting new?

spray painting your rims, though the additional weight of the paint might cause you to lose 4 or 5 hp.

 

Seriously, I got my Fatty pipes off of ebay pretty damn cheap and they have been great, and I've had them over a year with no probs.

[tenn banshee]

Get a set of pipes, k&n filter,vitos degree key(4 degrees for the woods) and a new set of reeds.

[sheerider4life]

all the things all my buds have said are correct and they are really easy to install if you know what u r doin....

[joehead24]

this vitos degree key what is involved in instalation

Rec'm you ride her stock until you can get a set of pipes and air filter. IMO other mods mentioned may not be worth the hassle with stock pipes and filter. Ebay has many deals on used pipes and filters. There are many HQ members with extra sets of pipes sitting around who may jump in here with offers.

[joehead24]

if any one has a nice set of used pipes for a good price let me know id be happy to take them off your hands.

Just keep an eye on ebay. They go cheap on there, just dont go buy the first pair you like. Watch a few pair, and get an idea on what is a good price for the pipes you want. Then start bidding. You should have no problem getting a nice set of pipes off there for about 250, or less. I have bought three sets of pipes off there, and all were under 300 dollars. I would sell you a pair, but I love them all and wouldn't know which pair to get rid of.

Above all, you need to get a set of pipes. THen you need to grab a pro-flow plate and a different air filter. I prefer UNI foam filters to K&N, but it's your preference. You will also need to get some jets. Once you get pipes, grab main jets from about size 270-310. Also grab a set of 27.5 pilot jets. The pilot jets have to come from the dealership. Part number for the 27.5 pilots is 260-14142-27. After you get that done, shoot me a PM, and we'll talk about some head mods and possibly lightening up that flywheel for some throttle response. Also a shift star mod if you want to get a little cleaner shifting and neutral finding........ Those mods should come last. PIPES and AIR FILTER are #1!!! That should keep you busy for awhile...

Definetly listen to boonman. Get pipes dont waste money on anything else yet.
