Race season is coming up in a little over a month. And I was wondering what are some good power gaining mods i could do for under $100. Like maybe gearing it diff. something like that if. If so what is a good gearing set up. I have 21" front tires and 20" rear. And any other options would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

for around 160 you can do a 416 with a higher compression piston

Well here is a tip that is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that jetting isn’t as big a deal on 4-strokes as 2-strokes but getting you’re jetting down will give you that little edge over the other guy.

pull the choke from the carb, grind the welds in the header. practice leaving the gate. practice ALOT at the track your racing at. practice braking. just keep practicing

Yes that is true, I am starting practice on the track this saturday. And yes MX#132 I would love to put a 416 in, but wouldnt it be another couple hundred bucks to get it installed. Also should I try a different gear ratio. I am racing mx and some trail riding.

the choke yakes up space in the carb so people remove it to increase air flow


u richen up your pilot jet froma 38 to a 42 and it pretty much takes the place of the choke.

i did not dyno before or after so i really dont know how much of a diff it made. my quad starts easier now so it doesn't matter.

plus i get to tell people how cool i am since i dont have a choke. i am soo badazzz
