For less than the HRC kit and with the same, if not better results, get the bigger exhaust tip off ebay with jets and intructions on how to cut airbox lid $40.00. Then get a Hotcam, stage II, $120.00 on ebay, and install all this yourself. Get a shop manual from your dealer and It will show you step by step how to switch cams. With the Hotcam you don't new to change rockers or valve springs.
You have now accomplished the same, if not more, than the HRC kit which is $300.00 plus Honda shop labor of another $300.00. $600.00 for the dealer to install your HRC kit when you can do it yourself for less than $200.00
Since it already has an HMF pipe you don't need to buy the stock pipe larger tip. Just rejet to suit the HMF pipe and cut open airbox lid. Probably step up to a 180 main, different needle and lower the clip.
Good luck. I think you will love this quad.

By the way, thank you so much for volunteering to join the service when this country is at war. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you and all you brothers in arms.
My son is a Cavalry Scout in the 4th ID Mechanized. He is based at Fort Carson, Colorado as support for the 4th ID out of Fort Hood, Texas.
He is probably heading to Bagdad in September. At this time he is a Bradley driver but is probably getting promoted before deployment and will be a commander in a Humvee or a gunner in a Bradley.
God bless you and what you are doing for this country.
