sparks racing is about the only other place to get them. wheelie has some keys that he made but i dont know if he has them anymore. you could give him a pm and see if he would make you a 6+ i know he had some 4+ ones he made. steve

if the cdi box is a advancing curve one then none but otherwise you would be happy with the 6+ i think with your stock motor. steve

unfortunely i dont know which one that is. if you suspect that it is an advance one then you should not run a key too. you could always put the stock cdi back on if you wanted to run it though. steve

all i can say is WOW!! when i put this key in and started the engine...it sounded like all the sudden my four wheeler had a new outlook on life...with a bad attitude, and that was at idle...im going out riding tomorrow, and cant wait. i ripped it up and down my street a few times and it'll do wheelies in 4th gear now LMAO
throttle response is rediculous...did anyone else have to kick down the idle a smidge after installing this?

anybody with experience with this key post up. I'm interested to know if it's worth the buck and if it does any harm to the motor.

Also thinking about installing a key. So far it seems like you can't go wrong for $30.

yeah, you usually do have to adjust the idle down a little bit.
might want to scoot forward on the seat a little too. ;)

I had the same thrilling feeling after installing the key. I'm also running a cdi box with the key and mine runs great!

God damn it.. Im getting the OPPOSITE result. Mid range feels a bit better, but the front end isnt coming up for ****. Im in the sand.. You CAN NOT install this key wrong.. Its the notched key with the red facing out. ALlows flywheel to move forward a bit.

Any thoughts why my stock 08 wiht muffler, sprocket, and filter sucks *** with the key.?
