For your first mod get yourself a good pipe. If your low on cash, get an fmf, to start. If money isnt an issue, get a toomey, or something. After a pipe look into some reeds, like v-force 3's, and change your gearing up.

is there any brands you could recommend,ive seen the elka's but there a bit too pricey for me

 

[blasterfreek30]

elkas are sweet, but yes ,very pricey, works are also nice shocks, ive got yfz450 fronts and they are a billion times better than stock, but they require longer aarms or the diamond j shock conversion kit

look for some shocks on ebay. sometimes you can find a good deal

 

[squeaklad]

the english ebay is terrible for blaster parts so there is no chance of gettin shocks sorry

Ok today ive went out and bought a k&n filter i also should have a fat boy exhaust coming soon.I:I

Although what do you mean by changing my gearing up.(Im new to this:">)

 

[blasterfreek30]

changing gearing just means changing ur sproket sizes, the stock front is a 13 tooth so getting a bigger one will give u more top speed, a smaller front will give more acceleration, and its just the opposite for the rear sproket

ahh thanks for clearing that up for meI:I

 

[blasterfreek30]

you got it bud

 

[scottishblaster]

I was looking at a new set of dirt tyres, either the itp holeshots or maxxis razr's.
Would these fit right onto the stock rim? or would i have to buy a new set of rims if so what kind of brands should i be looking at for lightweight rims?

lol sorry to be a pest:">

 

[blasterfreek30]

u can check out ITP or DWT red labels, both great rims and pretty cheap, i payed 52 bucks a piece for my dwt's

 

[Blasterb0y794]

If your looking for dirt tires, dont go with itp holeshots. I imagine you do trail riding. I highly recommend getting the maxxis razrs, or the the kenda klaws. Both tires are great, and wear slowly. You can also use your stock 8x8 rims. You can get any size you want it just has to have an 8 inch rim. For example for the rear you can go with 20x11x8 or 21x11x8 or 22x11x8. You could NOT use 20x11x9 or 22x11x9. For the front, your rims are 10x10. You can go with 21x7x10 or 22x7x10. Get the point? If your looking for aftermarket rims, you can order them from motosport.com, or rockymoutainatv.com Theres a wide variety of rims to choose from. Like Blasterfreek said, you can get polished aluminum rims from either website for about 55 bucks a piece, depending on the thickness of your rim. Hope this helps!
