so the big 3 will be completed once i get a uni air filter ( in a week or so ) and i was wondering what performance mods should be looked at next ?

i have been thinking about rims and flexx handle bars next but are their any other hp helping mods i could do out side of engin work ?

and any one with a dobeck and the big 3 what settings are you running at ?

I was running 2, 4, 4 on mine b4 the pcIII and I'm at 984 or so feet, but always check ur PLUG!!!

 

[the_hawk]

i would love to check my plug but i cant get the freakin plug cap off......

13 tooth sprocket

 

[the_hawk]

from what i understand the 13 tooth robs top speed i dont want that at all

Try twisting back and forth it and pullin up at the same time. And as for the 13t sprocket u will lose top speed, but if u dont ride techinal trails u'll be ok with the 14t.

You'll get used to it and want more power.

As far as the 13 tooth vs 14 tooth and loosing speed, it's only a few mph on top end and I seriously doubt most people would be able to tell the difference. Besides how often do you spend in the top of 5th gear (besides Wayne and Josh) I'd be it would be less than 1% of 1% of your total riding time.

 

[700xxx]

17 tooth front and NOS. More safety equp.

 

[700xx crazy]

^^^^ LOL sounds DANGEROUS!!!!!

 

[the_hawk]

i actually spend alot of time in 5th gear as my friends live acrost town and i do ride alot of paved roads

ya i do need a leatt...... but what else can be done to the xx after the big 3 to make it wake up even more ?

 

[scuzz]

Yeah, but even with a 13 tooth i still did 68 with no problems and I bet I have a hundred pounds on you easy. I think you're selling yourself short for what would make out to be a few mph.

I agree with Gary! The advantages gained I feel outweight the small sacrifice of top speed!

ESPECIALLY when it only amounts to a few seconds of trip time.

I know a lot of people seem to like the 13 tooth front sprocket, but I do not see any need for it in the type of riding I do. I think first gear is to short as it is. I have even ridden some moderately technical trails and was fine with the 14 tooth front. I guess it just depends where you are riding, but I would never go to a 13 tooth front sprocket.

As far as your next mods, I would go with suspension, new front shocks along with either new rears or at least revalve the rears to save some money. I know it is expensive, but I really feel the stock 700XX front suspension is pretty bad, I know it holds me back. I really think that the suspension can be greatly improved on the 700XX. You can have all the power in the world, but if your suspension is holding you back, you can not use all that power anyway.

After seeing Hawk's mudding pictures I would just get some tires! 13 tooth sprocket will definitely help with acceleration but so would some nice tires. You're tires are so bald that you would definitely feel a difference in acceleration when you're hooking harder and you wont sacrifice top end. I put some meatier tires on and I love how hard the front end hooks and now the front end comes up since I'm hooking so hard in the rear. I know this isn't a HP mod but you'll like what you find!!!

 

[the_hawk]

lol those tires arnt balled yet... they will last till winter time, or untill i reduce them to slicks lol.... i do have some 23-7-10 razrs sitting in the gurage

iam not sure on the 13t my self eaither

[rappyfreak]

Ask Bo, aka velociraptor, what cam he recommends.

I for sure think a cam is a good idea! I would talk with Matt fasig aka fastech. He'll for sure have some good ideas for you!

 

[the_hawk]

how hard are cams to do, do they make "plug and play " cams i dont have to have any other supporting engin work

 

[scuzz]

Cams are stupid -easy! (on the 700xx and 400EX) on the Raptor...notsomuch.
