Go back to 26" tires that will lower your gear ratio back down and not kill your torque.

You can get a new filter and rejet the machine. An exhaust system would help too.

Yeah and it might teach these guys a lesson about doing a little homework before spending their money on bigger tires they don't need in the first place. A larger diameter tire will alway rob you of power because it increases your final overall gear ratio, less torque for making you go. Besides they can't need more ground clearance for their bike. Big tires are ego driven and anyone who buys without knowing the result before hand should pay for listening to their ego instead of their smarts.

well thats one opinion.
You might try a filter/jet kit with an aftermarket pipe. That will get a little bit of it back, but you're always going to have a decrease in power with the larger tire setup. The traditional sacrifice one thing for another scenario. You're also going to have a lot louder quad if you were to go the pipe route.
But I bet those tires look pretty good though!

Not everyone thinks before they purchase these things, and its not like purchasing tires from a dealer who knows whats best for your car or truck and what it can handle.
Besides, big tires look cool!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
