It also sounds like you might be running lean which will cause a hotter explosion in the pistonchamber causing the engine to overheat.
As far as a winning combo it's hard to say cause they all have such different characteristics. FMF and HMF both make good pipes, DynoJet makes a decent jet kit, & I would recommend K&N filters with an outerwear. If your close to em ATP in Apopka does a great job making quads more powerful.

Put in a new plug, run it around the block at full throttle, shut it down and pull the plug. Brown or tan=good Black = rich, which is okay, but needs more air White = BAD BAD BAD, running lean, needs more fuel which usually means rejet.
