Hello, I am from Russia. Can you tell me, what kind of tuning is there with ATVs, snowmobiles and watercraft? It would be great, if you send me photos of tuning accessories or tuned machines. Thank you in advance to all

May be I speak incorrectly...I means installed aftermarket clutckit, improvement of engine (installation of aftermarket valves, cilinders and so on), replacement of shockabsorbers, installation of bodykits... And everything, what ATVer can do with his ATV for ATV can ride faster, look like no other...I suggest that this is called "Tuning"...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

More people would call it modifying. Engine modifications, suspention modifications, and so-on.

Greetings from the West, Russian, welcome aboard. As far as body kits, there's not much available that I've seen. Certainly nothing extremely radical like body kits on cars. When it comes to tuning options it's the same as motorcycles which are very much like a car. All internal combustion engines. As far as engine mods the usual list goes like this.

    Hope this helps. Sorry don't have any pics, you could click the gallery button on the top right and browse, you may or may not find what your looking for.

    Most people do the work themselves. IT takes patience and confidence and a good owners manual.

    I took my entire banshee down to the frame and had it sand blasted. I then took it to the Powder coater for some color. When I had the m achine broken down, I replaced each bearing, seal and gasket before reassembly. I also took each bolt and gave them a quick once over with the wire wheel (this makes for easy reassembly). Here we have the luxury of dealers and many great mail order companies to supply parts at fair prices. How is it there? Are there many dealerships you can go to? Are you planning a rebuild?
