i hear the stage 1 kit is the way to go for some extra ponies on this thing. what is involved with the clutch part? do i need special tools for it? will there be a very noticable change?
and how bout those brakes? i just bought a used bike and it seems the brakes are not quite right. the front left lever gets tight right away.(long reach for my wifes short fingers) and i see no adjustment. is
this normal?they do work but not the greatest and the foot brake sits very high and when you're riding and hit the foot pedal it has very very little affect on stopping the bike. there seems to be adequate pad left but the brakes basicaly suck on this thing. any suggestions or words of wisdom would be great. thanks

happy trails

 

YOU CAN TRY BLEEDING THEM AND IF THEY FADE TRY FLUSHING THE SYSTEM WITH FRESH BRAKE FLUID ID RECOMEND DOT 5.1 ITS A GLYCOL BASED FLUID THATS WAY BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE OUT[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

A pipe and clutch kit will do wonders for the TrailBlazer. I would recomend sticking with the HPD components, especially with the the clutch kit. Don't just replace one spring, do both, along with the new weights.

Also, If I remember correctly, there is a 3/16" allen screw on the front calipers for adjustment. Mess around with the screw until you get the braking to your liking.

 

For the money the RCR stage 1 kit is the only way to go. Rick Ritter is great to work with and he will set you up with the kit that will match any riding style. It will give an extra 8hp wich is like night and day for the TB. Low end is awsome and you gain top end also. My TB with the mods that i have i am almost around 70mph. I am hitting 66mph but am waiting for my cylinder to come back from it being ported. So hopefully I will be hitting 69-70. Bubba297 does porting on polaris 2 strokes. Thats who is doing mine. I ran the HPD mods because it gave the whole clutch kit not just springs but Rick says his kit will do just as good as the HPD kit. For 325 plus free shipping you cant go wrong.

As for the clutch it is easy to do the mod to. No special tools except snapring pliers and a second pair of hands. The pipe, you unbolt the old one and bolt on the new one. Jetting is easy and so is the air filter mod.
