OK Guys... Hope someone can help me! I have had my trail pipe, trail porting done on my bike, and I do not see the power gains that I have been reading here on the forum. In fact... it seems like it is slower. Its ok about mid range but nothing impressive for me to really see. It seemed like my bike was stronger when it was stock. I know I am running rich and I am going to rejet it this week. It stumbles real bad when I take off, and opens up at mid range. Just to let you know how disappointed in my bike I am, I just had a race with a stock warrior and we were even at the end of the race. He even got the jump on me for about 3 bike lengths. But I caught up to him and we stayed even. If this is all I can expect out of these mods then I just waisted a whole lot of $$$. So if anyone can offer help I would greatly appreciate it.

 

I suspect you are breaking things in , and , the builder (could be me) set you up on the rich side to start with . Combine that with stock clutching it may well be running wimpy .

Leave the stock clutching in during your break in , that will be easier on the fresh motor (lower RPMS) . After 3 hours install the clutch kit and then begin dialing in the carburetor.

Don't worry , it will run like everyone elses .

Thanks Rick for your reply. But just to let you know you're not the builder, you sent me the right jets, I currently have the 260's in there right now but will change to the 250's. Who I think I am disappointed in mose is the shop I have had doing my work for me. I dont think they are as good as they say they are. And it takes forever to have them get something done. Looks like I am going to have to learn to do this stuff myself. I dont have the clutch kit yet but will probably be ordering it next week. The engine is already broke in, after I put the pipe on it that I just received from you, I was hoping to see some performance gains. But at this point I am very discouraged and the thought is actually crossing my mind selling the thing and getting something different. Its not that I want to sell it because in stock form it was a heck of a bike, but right now its not the bike it used to be, let alone being better
Rick, your customer service is awesome, you go out of your way to satisfy your customers, which is a rarety in todays society to some degree. So - I am not disappointed in you, I am just not happy with what I have got so far. Again... Thanks Rick for all of your help.

 

It's best to get the porting done from someone who is familiar with polaris and what rpm's the hpd and ritter pipes produce there power. Also if you have the stock clutching on, it's not going to run near as well as it does with a clutch kit that's designed to keep the quad in it's new power band.

 

From looking at your list .I think the 39PWK from Rick is what you have missing.This will make a big difference.Don't give up yet.

 

POLARISFREAK I also want to thank you for your reply, to answer your question, the porting was done by team cycle in Phoenix. I have heard that they are very good, so basically what I am saying is... I dont think that is my problem, but it could be. Ane yes, I have to agree with you that I need to get the clutch kit in. I guess where I am disappointed, as I said in my post, I was really expecting a lot more from the pipe and porting even with the stock clutch in it than what I am seeing. I am going to get it re jetted and the clutch kit if I still dont see any positive results I will just have to resolve to myself that I own a money pit. I hope this is not the case. But the post that you and Rick gave me has risen my hopes some. I hope its not in vain.

 

Definately don't give up yet, I have a trail mod and race mod and the trail mod will handle a warrior easily as well as most other stock quads.

 

Well, I dont want to give up yet, thats why I started this post. I really like my bike, its been very reliable. But I hope you can see my point. Right now I think I have too much $$$ invested to just walk away. I appreciate the thoughts on the 39mm carb but I am not invest that money yet, until I can get where I am at straightened out. Hope you understand. I feel like I am putting $$$ into something that isnt paying off. I have put about 2k into this bike (that includes tires and wheels) to this point in time, with basically nothing but frustration to show for my investment. But I am still going to hang in there.

 

I've been where you are at so I know how you are feeling. It'll be tough to wipe the smile off once you get it right. Let us know when you get the clutch kit and how it runs. I'd also make sure your belt is in good shape.

 

The smile....I hope so, I will let you know if the new clutch kit makes a diff or not. I have been thinking is the belt ok. I'll take a look at it.
