Hi. I've owned my 2000 Scrambler 500 4x4 for a few years now. I love it. It's the greatest all-purpose ATV out there. I haven't had much money for mods before, but I'm looking to do some small ones now. I already have a K&N filter and I've removed the drain bolt from the exhaust (which did provide significant gains). I'm looking at doing a few things.
1. Bolt on a new exhaust. (I don't have much cash, so a typical aftermarket system is out of my range. Has anyone bolted on a stock muffler from a crotch rocket before or modified the stock muffler?)
2. Jet kit (whats a good jet for the set up I have just a little above sea level?)
3. Clutching (what are some good springs for my setup if I want just a little more performance than stock?)

Thanks!

 

1. you could get a slip-on muffler for not too much $

3. You could get a clutch kit, or i think (dont quote me on this) a white primary spring for about $20 with provide you with more performance w/ the clutch.

Somebody else will come along that know for sure, (like BBS) P.S. Welcome to the Forums!

 

Thanks for the tips! That was insanely fast.

 

lol, when BigBadScrambler gets on, you will know for sure if i was correct or not[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i am kind of to the same point with our 2002

i am going with the clutch kit, chain tensioner, rims/tires for now

Plus the stuff that needs to be repaired after last weekends barrel rolling contest (bing won)

 

A full exhaust system sounds out of the question. Just go for a slip-on. You best bet would be a White Bros E-Series. Look around on Ebay. You may stumble across one there. It really isnt worth it modify the stock muffler. You will be fine with a 160 main jet and a little adjustment of the air/fuel screw with that muffler. No need for a jet kit, unless you really want one. If you want the clutch to engage slightly higher than stock, then try a Polaris white primary spring. For the trails, I like the HPD violet secondary spring set on the 2-2 position. I have the PD brown primary spring with 58g weights (may try 53g weights soon). It engages at about 2200 RPM. The white will engage a little lower. You may just want to give Rick Ritter @ RCR a call. Tell him what you want and how you ride and he will put a custom kit together for you of only what you need

 

White or green Polaris primary spring and you will think you have a new quad!!!!!!!!
