i am on a $250 buget.wat are the best mods i can do to my 250 with this amont of money

[DJR300ex]

thats a pretty tight budget, but a HMF slip-on pipe and k&n air filter would probably be the best for the money. you should just save up enough to buy a full pipe with a header.

[exrider12]

i personally dont like k@n and wud get uni instead.also is the megamax a good exhuast?

[m.h.s.c.#527]

no its not got a good rep i would get a full hmf and that will run u about 260

[ryanh250ex]

Please check the FAQ thread up top

[m.h.s.c.#527]

thats just your opinion though

And it happens to be the general consensus of this site. FMF's 4 stroke pipes leave alot to be desired.

[exrider12]

since fmf stinks wat is the cheapest exhaust besides that.all i want is a slip on.

[DJR300ex]

HMF. you can get it on ebay for 227 or something like that

[BlasterEaten250]

HMF doesn't make a slip on for the 250. To tell you the truth i would just save the extra 10 bucks for the full HMF. That's the best bang for your buck by far. And you won't notice a whole lot of gains with just a slip on with the 250. Pretty much all the good quality slip on's are in the 300 dollar range.

my dad doesnt like me spending alot of money on my atv and he doesnt like how loud all the exhausts are.that is why i picked the megamax because it is the cheapest and u can control the sound.
wud the best thing to do is remove the baffle and put one of those endcaps on, get air filter , air box vents, and rejet?

[m.h.s.c.#527]

the hmf is loud but i think u should get it the megamax is very little gains i wouldnt even buy the end cap stock or hmf thats my opinion

[exrider12]

well im getting a uni airfilter for easter.so if rynah250ex faq is right il have to rejet.an airfilter jetting will give me more power right?

[m.h.s.c.#527]

i dont know but i dont think that a uni filter will give u n e more flow

It will, my quad ran leaner once i switched from stock to UNI.

Rejetting will give you more power. find out what your elevation is, exrider12, and i'll give you a very close estimate as to where your jetting should be.

nthing above 1000ft

In that case, just use the specs in the FAQ.

no worries, send me a PM if you run into any problems.

[m.h.s.c.#527]

so uni filters give u more flow than a stock one i thought that where close since they where both foam

[exrider12]

mayb the unis are designed better like all the other aftermarket stuff?idk?probably if ryanh's 250ex was runnig lean after he put it in.

Yes. Racers would just run stock filters if there wasn't a difference.

[exrider12]

Yep, except it doesn't use that metal bracket. just a band clamp

[exrider12]

does it come oiled or do i have to do it?also wat filter oil and cleaner should i use??

[m.h.s.c.#527]

uni filter oil and 409 all purpouse cleaner but filter oil is a must

[exrider12]

im ight not be able to get the oil and cleaner for a lil bit.shud i jus do the same thing i do to the stock one ?

[m.h.s.c.#527]

what r u doing to the stock one

[exrider12]

my dad does it but i think he oils it and squeezes out the extra and to clean it he puts gas on it. i think?if this isnt right wat should we do?

[m.h.s.c.#527]

u need need need filter oil its thick and it is hat catches the dust DO NOT RIDE THAT UNTILL U GET FILTER OIL

[exrider12]

ok. i got my uni airfilter today and i wont use it until i get oil and cleaner and wen i rejet. thx

[kingdingaling]

Just for the record, The UNI does flow better than stock but the K&N flows even better than the UNI. I had a K&N filter then switched to a UNI and I had to rejet my carb because it was running rich! I'm now back with the K&N. And you should check into installing a bigger carb! I don't know bout the ex but on my 250x, that was one of the best mods i did! Just a thought.
