advice on upgrade?

[Big_Smoke]

I finally got to get out and ride this year and a guy I was riding with told me if i unclip something under the tank that i would get more power??? I ride a 2003 shee, He said it was for emissions I'm from Vancouver Canada so we don't have any emmision control up here.But I'd figure on asking someone on here before doing it

Thanks for any input

I think he was blowing smoke, no pun intended.

Maybe he was thinking of the TORS. No HP increase for removing the TORS, just a little more reliability.

Unplug the TORS and and the parking brake while your at it.

Easy thats what the wife is for ya I figured this guy didn't know what he was talking about.Hey wallrat what is "tors" and how does it make the bike more reliable?thanks again for the input guys

tors stands for throttle over ride system. Theoretically its used if your throttle becomes stuck wide open it'll shut your machine down. Its the huge box on the top of your carbs. Typically alot of people remove em. I just unplugged them on the 99. They have a tendancy to fuck up, thats why I unplugged mine. Unplug em, keep em with your stock carbs, it helps in syncing your carbs and adjusting the idle.

Cool thanks for the input Toomey Banshee.Is there any other good tips on performance? my bike is pretty much stock i just put a new bumper and rear skid pan, but wondering where to go from here.

thanks again, Jeremy

First and foremost get rid of the stock filter system and get a pro-design ring and filter kit or one simliar, remove the snorkel intake on the airbox if not the entire lid. Then get some pipes and v-force 2 reeds. Then down the road some porting, carbs, higher compression, advanced timing, lightened flywheel, etc. When that no longer satisfies you, let us know.

the riding up here has alot of water and mud taking the air box apart is that a good thing?We have alot of river bed spots so sometimes we have to do some water crossings.And I heard changing the bars is a must as well? Any suggestions on bars?

Well the airbox will cost you performance for protection of your filters and exposure to the elements. You have to weigh what is the most important to you. Bars are a good idea, for cheaper bars Fly bars aren't bad. Tag and Renthal make some good bars also at a greater cost.

Keep your stock air box and just get a pro design filter and adapter plate. I run that on the 99 since just about day one and havent had a problem.
