I had included a link but it was removed (edited).

Sorry, I can't help you out...call your dealer, they should know about it - its a new 3 step process that Bomb is releasing to the dealers to deal with the plastic problem.

Cheers,

hey kaz,I dont own or have a Bomb.But what I would do to aprroach this is think of an engine as an airpump.FInd a kn that will fit this either the box or clamp on.Then measure the exhaust Diameter an get a slip on supertrapp universal system.The jetting for the carb u will have to exeriment w it to get it right if Ya do ya own backyard mechanic playing.Start rich an work down rich is alil better then lean bt too rich an engine can run hot too so becarful as an engine gets too much fuel an runs hot as does an engine that dont get enuff.Last but not least look in the phone book for an engine builder/machine shop they will be able to help u if your not mechanically inclined.It comes down to on how much ya want for how much your willing to spend.Hope this helps an have fun riding.

Rob

Utilities are usually SOHC (single overhead cam) and have 2-valve heads (some, not all).... They come with carbs that are efficient instead of high-performance... The engine compression in utes is usually right around the same, although sometimes higher than sport quads stock (funny how the Raptor stock has 9.2:1 and the 400 Kodiak stock has 10.5:1)... Utes do not have the valvetrain to handle high RPMs...etc.


Some sport quads are DOHC (DS650, Z400. etc.) Although all Yamaha sport quads except YFZ 450 (thumpers) are SOHC... Most sport quads have 4 or 5 valve heads and sport quads have Carbs directed at power over efficiency... Most sport quads can rev way higher than their ute counterparts...Etc..

Made my own modification today.... slammed into a rut and broke the tie rod connection to the left front wheel... just snapped it right off. A friend and I were flying throught the trails near Port Edwards, Wisconsin, which are basically all high banked turns for a good 8 miles. I had the biggest grin on my face as I was coming up on my buddy.. then WAM. Planted my face into the dirt (helmet visor) and "modified" my leg a bit as well.

Love the ITP Holeshot ATR's and C Series Tires though. Incredible different to the ride.... except when one front wheel is pointing right and the other is pointing left.. not real easy to ride it out of the woods that way.

To the shop we go,
Kaz

I remember when I tested out the Outlander 330 and 400 at my local dealer (they had an open show). I really enjoyed driving them, but I found their top speed to be kind of low. I guess it to have been broken in? I compared the speed to my Honda Fourtrax 250 and my 250 feels faster.

About the power on the machines, I noticed that when you hit the gas, it's slow at responding. But overall, I did like the outlander and would recommend it to people who would be trail riding and stuff like that. It would be the perfect fourwheeler for my mom.
