What makes it faster ?

[tri5ron]

When I'm out on the trail, would my bike be faster if I was running slicks ?
I figuering that since more rubber would actually be touching the ground,......

also, what if I filled them with sand ? Would that help ?

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[CJM]

lol...

[thebig450es]

Stickers add 5HP also

[crownandmonster]

I bn thnkn bot putn a spoilr on mi 400 for a while now. The way I c it, more downforce=much more gooder sped and turning.

[thebig450es]

When people go to the track and strap leaf blowers to the back of their 400exs to make them faster .......lol

[trx400Rider]

Recently I have installed NOS on my rear tires. Its a great mod. Everyone should do it.
I'll have a complete right up with photos very soon.

[bkelley]

So, I started reading the OP without seeing who actually posted it. I almost had a heart attack.

[rooster300ex]

lol

[togup]

for trail riding I remove the heavier things from my quad and replace them with things that are lighter, for example those race cut plastics replace them with a large piece of cardboard and just jump on it, it will form fit your body,and that heavy drive chain, replace it with some ole hemp rope and for you enviromentalist pinkos stop using water for alternative fuel gasoline is lighter!

I'm building a LS1ex with MT's in the back:eek2:

[finsteratv]

drain your oil, it drops alot of weight
tire wise i prefer either dirtbike tires all duct taped together, or some big 3 wheeler baloons :)

[Scro]

Ron got into his homebrew again...

[DragonGunner]

I found putting sand in my buddies tanks makes my 406EX the fastest on the trails...no need for a tire change.

I just added a flux capacitor and let me tell you it made it way fasterer.

Now that's just not fair right there.

[tri5ron]

I've heard that if you put 2" wide front tires, and pour WD-40 over the entire quad, before each ride, it will slip through the air better.
Is this true?

and what are the best aerodynamic handlebars ?

Does the Low Beam headlight create less wind resistance than the High Beam ?

If I change the tail light to an LED, will it give me more thrust ?

How much HP will I gain if I race cut my fenders ?

If I polish my muffler, will I need to re-jet ?

Can I Dyno-tune the Nerf bars ?

What is the best color nets for Hillclimbing ?

If I stand on the pegs, do I need to change the Graphics ?

[400man]

guys....seriouslly :o

but all kidding aside, I only run 2 lug nutz per wheel, and I also run nitrogen instead of regular compressed air, saves 1 lb per wheel.

[slightlybent47]

I usually just fart in the gas tank.

lots of good stuff here.

I personally think that the adjustable powerband is the best bang for your buck. it is just like the limiter straps on sleds. it helps to transfer weight to the rear tires better.

The only difference- limiter straps are actually used.

haha funny stuff ron!

That site is great. They remind me of http://DownloadMoreRam.com . I can't believe how much faster my PC is after downloading the 4GB pack.

[jake"08"400]

Everybody rejets when you polish your muffler don't y'all?:D

[honda400ex2003]

now dont be letting all the secrets out!

[jake"08"400]

O I forgot putting your quad on weight watchers right before a big race or ride will shave at least 20 pounds!

[duroc825]

I actually found that removing my chain and rear brake pads and rolling down a steep mountain makes mine go faster than ever. And I only gotta use like 1/4 throttle to reach top speed!

[400man]

cant believe no one suggested Yamaha stickers? I got way more topend power with my banshee graphics kit:blah:

[hocman123]

i take the pegs of my atv. it saves so much weight and cuts down on wind resistance.

[AtvFan2010]

Personally I found that putting an oversized floogel valve in will give you about 5 mph in the top end. I also take the brakes off for every race... saves some seirous weight. :D

[trailrider894]

I've been watnin to do dat turbo thingy i hear bout on the tele-vision. I cant afferd 1 so i bought an ole 1 mini-horsepwer leaf blower and bolted it up... It works wonders... So much power the engine blew UP!! Need-less to say.... I'll be perfarming dat modifercation again in the da near future!!

You might laugh at this, but its a true story.

About 4 years ago in my high school shop class, we had an old metro with a blown motor for a project. Of course first thing was first, we striaght piped it and removed all the doors and roof to turn it into a "safari" metro lol. After a flat black spray paint job we found a junk yard motor and stabbed it in. Sadly we soon got bored trying to do burn-outs in the parking lot, so we got creative. We took the blower motor out of it, put it on a toggle switch and plumbed it into the air intake. That is what you call a red-neck super charger. The best part is that it actually worked!

[tri5ron]

Is it really true, that you can make your own 150 octane Race Fuel,
by mixing 70% Diesel, 50% Lacquer Thinner, and 30% Liquid Cascade ?

@tri5ron ive fountd out that when you hillclimb rattle can black is the best color. also using itp mudlites on a track work wonders :eek2: (22in ofcourse)
