I recently sold some stock I bought to gain money for mods, and the check finally came yesterday. I have a cash alotment of 250 bucks to spend on mods (thats after I by my new helmet, boots, and chest protector ,which is for my dirt bike, ATV's are no fun if you are paralized from the waist down, you know)and I wanted to know what mods work the best. I have been looking at a K&N filter, adding another snorkle for better air flow, and also custom making a low-restriction exhaust out of an old suppertrap silencer and my existing head pipe. How do these perform, and are there any other mods for the recon that work well? I need these to smoke my friends Polaris Magnum 325 2x4, because we have equal top speed as it is. (I still win a drag though because of the 5 speed gearbox).

 

get a K&N and a supertrapp IDS that might push you a little over 250 though

 

buy a tow rope!.......dual purpose......to slow him down you tie his bike to a tree....and you can tow him home if he breaks down!

those mods can do no harm! try a larger main jet too....

what would happen if you made the bike lighter??....would that make it faster.....would help maintain engine reliablity!.....theres a thought.....hmm......how heavy are the stock steel rims......can you get stock 250x rims (alloys) to go on it?( same stud pattern? price?).....any weight savings....or am i nuts!

go hard man or go home!

 

right now my recon has 20" holeshots and alumnium wheels off of my 250X yes they bolt right up and were ALOT lighter lighter is better yes i removed alot of stuff from my recon that was "not needed"
yeah and if you do get the K&N and supetrapp get a size 100 main jet that will probaly be right or in the ballpark at least

 

if possible get a pipe. sporty tires may also work well. a K&N air filter may help too. but a bigger carb can also help. all these things will help the recon. Pipe is best if you can get em for a recon.

 

how fast would a recon go if it had no mods on it? and how much faster would it go with mods??

 

recon goes about 45 stock i THINK with those mods it would go 50 sumping i am not sure
btw supertrapp does make a pipe

 

i have a 99 honda recon and run goog the only mod i had was super swamper tires then i got a hole in the boot between the motor and the carb and it got water in the motor and they dont run well on water 4 weeks in the shop still not out they told me 100 dollers for every thing in the motor and i mean every thing that includes the boot to keep water out in the future it should run better b/c they have to bore it out and that will give me a little morre horse power well good riding to every one
