If your bike is not fast enough for you,with the mods you've made,it may be time to step up to a bigger bike.No disrespect to your bike.

Lighting the flyhwheel would give you a advandge but nothing mayjor. I would try a stroker kit, lighten your A.T.V or a oil cooler.

Sounds like you have a nice 250X, but no matter what you do to it it will still be just that, a 250X. Dont get me wrong they are a nice quad and everything. If you are real serious about racing I would step up to a quad with more potential. Sometimes what you dont want to hear is what you need to hear the most. A lightened flywheel will help you build up the revs on your bike quicker. The next thing i would do with your bike is suspension and it is not cheap. What are you trying to get with your bike? More bottom, mid, top? I would take off all unnecesary parts to lighten it as much as possible.

If your tied with a 400ex on trails, then modding your bike isn't going to help you much. Practice is what you need. In a drag I can see, but trail riding is probably 75% or more rider.
