Well I went a done it picked up a new toy to play in the sand and mountains. I was at an auction last saturday and ended up getting this for a grand.
want to do some performance mods to get it up in the mid 50's on hp. Looked at aaens stuff as well as rick ritter. Anybody have some good suggestions?

I thought it was a pretty good buy and left room for hp mods :d It runs great now really a fun quad but there is room for improvement

Rick Ritter all the way.

Thanks guys I think the only reason i got it that cheap cause it was one of the first things that was done and it was 27 degrees with a 15mph wind, most people didn't show up till way afternoon :d

That 1 grand will turn inot 3 or 4 real fast with a Scambler. LOL. Worst machine I ever had for maintenance. But....yer here now. Bear Claws. I think stock is 22" rears and 23" fronts....go 1" taller on each. (It is geared to have different heights front and rear) I did a bigger carb, injection oil delete kit, Boyeson reeds, and an aftermarket pipe. Woke things right up. Get some "long john" truck mudflaps and make your own fender extensions if yer a mud guy.

That's a good looking scrammy I was more or less going to set mine up for the sand, paddles and a stage 1 trail port kit from rick ritter

I would say for mods Hotseat pipe and cluch kit, shave .015 off the head, toss the oil inj,
38mm flat slide carb, engine tech porting.
O ya with 50Hp you will be brakeing stuff, I know..

Be honest how does this thing do against the big boys? What does it weigh?

 

[CrankShop910]

What do you consider a big boy?? 700 750. All I know is if it stock I have no problem keeping ahead in the skg.
It weighs in about 525lb, and will run (rader tested)113kph on the hwy with the tires.

Yes I do .Sorry to say one good idea is to sell it . I had one and it was a pile of junk . make sure your exhaust is not full mice , mine was and the motor was just rebuild and still ran like crap
