alright, i heard that honda changed their carb size from a 37 to a 39 or something one year and they also upgraded their cam. If thats true what year did they do this and what other 'improvements/upgrades' did they achieve?

 

04 went to 38mm from 35.5mm, don't know about the cam

 

So since i have an 02 should i get a bigger carb? if i should will it fit, and how much am i looking to spend. Also what kind of difference am i going to notice. --- and also should i upgrade to a different cam? if so what kind, and what am i going to notice for a difference?

 

do not go out and buy one of those new carbs. i haven't heard of anyone actually proving they updated the carbs. however, you can get your carb bored out to a 38mm for $125 from rocky ridge or $175 from sparks racing.

for a new cam, get a stage 1 hotcam or an xr 400 cam. the stage 1 is a little more aggressive. if you are getting a higher compresssion piston, you can even go mroe aggressive than the stage 1.

 

well, what cam would be for me? i ride the woods and pipe line. I like low end but want to keep my top end. What do you suggest?

 

i would get the stage 1 hotcam.

 

so did honda change cams?

 

i guess they did in the 04's i aint positive though --- so you guyz suggest the hotcam stage 1 ? what bbout the xr400 cam? i want more low and top end.

 

Go to the Honda Web site. They show the specs for the 03 and 04. The carb is bigger on the 04.

 

ITS A TYPO!!! look at the part numbers... the carb numbers are the same [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
