Maybe larger 26" tires, the lightest ones you can fine. Since the 450 OHV motor only makes about 24hp it could make it slower. My 2001 450 Foreman did 45 mph.

My forman(2002) use to do 50 when it was new but now around 45 is good, but its not full time 4wd either. Your not going to gain alot of speed on that atv. You can add pipe, jet kit and air cleaner. If you want to go fast get a 2wd 650 or the 800cc ride they offer. Speed on a ultily WILL get you hurt. They are not made for it.
