i have a 2001 Honda Recon 250 and i was wondering if i can do any thing to make it get up quicker,sit lower, and go faster and remove some axcess weight to make it loke a sport bike and is there a way to change the auto clutch to a hand ?? please answer thanks

 

Do a search on recon mods in the honda forum. you will find more posts than you can shake a stick at. Good luck with your project.

You can get a better muffler for it. Take off the racks. and put a K&N air filter on it for starters.

 

personally after yesterdays ride(15 miles with me and buddies trx300 2x4) i would say that the recon is light enough. it could shave a few pounds here and there but when we went creek crossing about 4 feet deep i was gettin thrashed around in the current. we had to walk one across then help pull the other across.

i would get a pro circuit t-4, and k&n filter, jet kit, take off racks, remove lights, take out stuff in tool box,etc......

 

From you list of mods, looks like you have the little Recon loaded down with big tires and a winch. You could start there!

 

The only thing extra I'd have on a Recon is a skid plate. You take all the fun out of the little machine when you weigh it down. (Besides things like jetting and exhaust) You could put a lower profile tire on the back.

Maybe you should just trade it for a 250ex.

 

i have a modded out recon as u can see below besides those parts i have installed, u can remove the air box lid also on the supertrapp u can take the complete core out this only takes five seconds and tremedously creates better flow. hope this helps
