Suggestions for upgrades plz

[3or4HONDA]

Well its getting closer and closer to the start of riding season and i am looking to upgrade a few things.

I like how my quad runs so i would like to do some things that will keep it running good and make the ride better.

first thing i noticed riding last year was after hard trail riding the top end would get real noisy and i think my oil temp was up a little higher than it should have been. Valves and everything are watched very closely.

Will a oversize oil tank be worth it to lower the temp? and if so what is a good one?

I would like nerf bars but would like to keep my stock heel guards. What brand works best in this situation?

Next is the clutch i havnt noticed a problem but im wondering if i would notice a difference if i put new steels and fibers in?

Any suggestions on small stuff that you guys found to be a great investment i would appreciate. Thanks.

i have allmost the same setup with the oversized oil tank and it keeps the temp lower longer and the noise it might be the timming chain i would take the topend down and check all of it out

thanks. when it was rebuilt i didnt change the tensioner but did put a crf timing chain and im wondering if the tensioner is getting wore out. that might be on the list too.

what kind of resevoir do you have?

changing your clutch wont do much except have a better clutch feel unless u went up to heavy duty springs or a hinson clutch kit then your looken at spendin some money. the nerf situation there are tons of nerf u can get just have to pick the ones u like. some companys that will work with stock heel gaurds are blingstar, tusk, dg, some ac nerfs. you jusy need to get one that connect to your stock foot pegs. but for the money your going to spend i would get nerfs that have heel gaurds attached make it easyer on yourself but if u like your stock one keep them.

if the tensioner was put in right they hardly ever go bad the tank is from CFM on ebay they are very nice but if u have a stock header its a ***** to get on and off

one of the best small items i have gotten for my 400 was an aluminum airbox that relocates the battery in the airbox. looken at $90 but it makes your center of gravity better and its easyier to take on and off your rear plastics and it looks nice also. ebay is the best place for and air box and the cheapest. they build them to order and the welds are perect looks like a roll of nickels and if u know anything about welding u know that is a damn good weld.

[lester985]

thats the same place i got my oil tank and they are very good welders i have the tusk nerfs with the heel guards and fat pegs for 177 and free shipping and they work great

[josh25ex]

how much did the oil tank run u lester and how many quarts does it hold??

[3or4HONDA]

thanks fellas. yeah i never thought about the aluminum airbox but that would be nice to have. same CFM place right? yeah the welds on the tank looked good so im sure they do good work.

[lester985]

i got for 75 but they had a sale on them at the time i think i holds 1/2 to 3/4 more than the stock one

[josh25ex]

you have any pics of it?? and can u use your stock connections??

[lester985]

yes u can use all stock connections i will post some pics its off the bike right now

[josh25ex]

alright thanks brother.

[3or4HONDA]

i think im gonna get both the tank and airbox from CFM since they are right here local and i will prolly get a deal buying both at the same time.

Now i just gotta find some nerf bars and maybe some new tires.

[josh25ex]

just start doing some research thats all u can do and buy what u like. the only company i hear was bad for nerfs was pro armor they fall apart.

[3or4HONDA]

ya i just like to hear if anyone had problems with a certain brand so i can stay away from them.

thanks for the input guys.

[josh25ex]

no problem man

[lester985]

tusk is cheap and very good
