I just picked up an 01 500 4x4. All stock. Im going to put on a white bros e-series pipe and change out the springs. I need advice on jetting and clutch springs. Plan on calling Rick because every post has his name (a # or site anyone?) Also, Im not into top speed. As long as she'll do 40-45 Im more concerned with grunt. Any spring idea's? The secondary need to be changed? Im all over the place. I've always ridden sport Honda's and decided I needed 4wd, but not an 800 beast that cant handle corners. I need to keep some torque and grunt to keep me happy. White bros seems to have good reviews on the pipe. Wanted to jump to 25" tires all around but not if it loses too much power. I need help on
1. torque, low pepy clutch springs
2. stock or bigger tire input?
3. clutch springs or the stage 1 kit I read about everywhere?
4. Jetting with white bros, k+n filter, and new springs?

Help would be appreciated. I know Im rambling but Im like a kid in a candy store and cant wait to bury this thing!

 

here is ricks web site. hes a great guy to talk with for sure. one of our memebers FTWFLH is good w/ scramblers as well and mabe he'll chime in or you could IM him for some info.

 

Well my opinion on bigger tires is stay with stock.You will have a better handling machine and less wear on parts.
Clutching is a matter of how deep your pockets are.Cheapest way for a little more torque and back shift is got to a 2-2 secondary seting from the stock 1-1.Best way would be a TEAM roller secondary.On the primary cheap would be a Polaris white spring you will get decent response with that and the 2-2 setting.Little better would be a Dalton blk/white spring with a set of 10MB weights.

 

Knee bones connected to the what? Im guessing team roller is a brand? Im giving Rick a call tomorrow. Seems to be the best start. Once I get what I need, Im sure the install would be fine. Also reading a lot about the airbox mod, k+n filter w/outer wear, so those may be a good start also. Believe I will stick with the stock tires for awhile. At least until I get a feel for the handling. Not sure if the bigger tires are worth the ground clearance, besides a nice plate slides over most stuff anyway. Im more concerned with the get up and go. airbox mod, filter, and white bros pipe I think will be the first purchase. Seems the airbox mod comes with the jet and slide and the white bros pipe doesnt (?) require any additional jetting so there's no guess work.
