did a search not really anything prevalant came up, anything out for a rancher to get it up to around 400 cc but reliably

 

This is an interesting idea! I like the Ranchers smaller size and weight, but it wouldn't hurt if it had some more power. Actually it is only a 329 (or something like that), so a jump to 400 would be an awfull big one. I wish they made the Rancher 400 in a manual transmission!

 

yea, i know its 329, i wish it was like 375 or something, its fine in summer but pushing in 6inch or higher snow, im kind of stuck to 2nd or maybe 3rd gear it just don't have the power to turn the wheels, they don't make any kits? what the hell do u do when u wear it out?

 

shoulda bought a bigger quad.

 

Powroll has a 393cc for the foreman 350. I don't know if they are the same but that said it was an 86mm big bore.

 

i don't want a bigger quad, the places i go mine is sometimes to big, there are places i go a forman can't and whats a forman like 3 inches wider? there is a 393 huh? now let me aska question does it really matter what pistion i use? aren't they all round? if sleeve is bored, then i don't see the problem?

 

Reconranger, I am shocked, I thought for sure you would love the Hondamatic. LOL I bet it woud be a lot quicker too.

 

Yes you'd think, but the piston has wrist pin sizes and the distance from pin to skirt height. Call Powroll, they are very nice and helpful. If that piston will work they would know.

 

I'm with LittleBill on this one! Most of the situations where I use a ute are very tight very technical trails and rock crawling. A larger/heavier machine would be a decided disadvantage! Sure a bigger machine will have more horsepower, but a good deal of that power is just wasted hauling around all that extra weight and bulk. With the racks stripped off, I can get my Rancher down to 450 lbs., which is in sport bike territory!

Check out dwpalmers picks. This Rancher is a 589!

where u see 589 reconranger? it says 427 too me, that looks like a massive job though, i never redid a engine, i think throwing a stroker kit in is past my level
