Well you have your usual pipe, jetting and air intake. You could make sure your stock jetting is optimal for where you live. Are you in an unusually high or low altitude? Might be worth checking your jetting if you are.

Cool, I am in Nashville, TN. My foreman is still stock but I have my eyes on a Hmf. They have several different series. I am looking at the swamp xl series. Here is a good link: HMF Racing / Shop / Pipes / Honda / Foreman 500 (06-09) Scroll down to read about them.

sounds like a good pipe have any idea how much power and so fourth the pipe will give to our Foremans? also when you say air intake do you mean the whole system or just the aftermarket filter which brand would you suggest

Not sure on how much power it gives the foreman. It is probably a couple horsepower. I know when I had a 350 Yamaha Warrior back in the day I installed an HMF/New Jetting and I was pulling wheelies no problem. Before that it I had to really lean back.

As far as intake yes I jsut meant the filter. I haven't looked into brands yet so I can't help you there.
