If you are looking for a pipe HMF gives the best gains for the money but are loud. Cheap power gains can be had by removing the choke and installing a sparks timing key. Hop up potential is big considering these motors are only 9 to 1

i have a yoshi trs pipe and that is probably the best pipe you can get but lets be honest, a pipe is a pipe. if your looking to save money an hmf is perfect, but i will warn you there jeting instructions are prety poor. the yoshi tells you what main jet to use with the pipe and its spot on. cant say the same for hmfs recomendations on my dads wolverine 450.

dont forget skid plates if you do trail riding with stumps and rocks and such your gona want atleast a swingarm skid plate. i have full skids and like knowing that i can nail a stump without ruining my rotor. the order i got the stuff on my bike bas nerds, skids, exhaust intake, handlebars, tires. i couldnt see waisting money on a stabilizer but im more into my truck than my 4 wheeler so thats just my opinion.

well, im heavily leaning towards yoshi anyway. love em.

i was thinking about skids but i dont know if i want to spend the $ on them. i know they help but i almost cant justify that. hmmm..

if you ever rode with a stabilizer you would love it. especially on a dirt bike. i bout busted my azz today cause i didnt have one. it will prolly come close to last though.

so, nerfs, exhaust/intake/jets, skids, shocks, stabilizer, tires, bars....... man could i spend alot of $ on this thing. im into my truck too and my street and dirt bikes. dnag!  Angry too much money needed. i get more use out of this and my XR though (pleasure use anyway, i use my truck every day). get them right first then do the other crap.

If it was me I would do it in this order

Nerfs
Stabilizer
Shocks
Then whatever you want after that.

I also forgot I would change the handle bars and grips immediately.

what kind of bend? i dont want a MC or Ricky bend on a quad. i was on motosport.com lookin at clamp kits for bigger bars with the bars also and all they have is mx bends. i havent looked at individual bars yet though.
