NYVForce,

I too would like your impressions of the Elkas. Also, where did you get your Baja wheels? I tried to order them with a set of Hauler tires from Rocky Mountain ATV and they were sold out of everything for the 700 bolt pattern.... Thanks.

 

The Elkas are great they lowered the quad about 3", it has lost it's tendency to wheely, you can swing out the rear end much easier, corner is flat as a board and whoops no longer exist for this quad, landing jumps is like landing on a cloud. Can you tell I like them.

 

I also ordered a set of HMF duals with everything, when I get it in, im gonna put it on the dyno at work and tune the air/fuel out perfectly. Im gonna get some good settings with stock airbox and then with it modded. Ill also let u know of the gains.

 

Thanks to everybody!!! I got some larger jets today I'll keep wrenchin'

 

vforcer, The elkas do lower the V a few inches, but that's o.k. way better "feel" to the machine. Kinda pricey but what the he**, we're worth it; right? I got my dial a jets in today but had no time to tinker with their installation this evening, how did you mount your's? right or left side. Thanks, Mudfoot

 

I don't try to justify price any more..... the whole thing is a toy anyway. "It's only money" grin

I do have some thought to share about the dial-a-jet install .. I sent you a PM with my phone number....
if you want to call, I would be willing to share what my installation experence was.

 

Any info on the air fuel seting from the dyno yet? What elavation are you at? I just installed my HMF duals last Friday and went to little Sarah Sand dunes in Utah to try them out. I tried it with stock jets (140/135) it ran really bad. I put 148 rear and 145 front and it ran a little better but still not as good as stock. It back fires really bad at full throttle. Any help anyone can give me I would appreciated it.

 

It's all about the air as well; order some TPI Low boy Valves(I put two on mine)Part #TPI-2LF from thunderproducts.com. I now own a vast array of jets after going through what you're experiencing right about now. I finally drilled (8) 3/8" holes onthe top of my airbox where I was going to install the TPI valves once they came in. You're bike probally isn't getting enough air intake. Try with just a couple of holes to start with and see how it runs. I now run 160f/165r jets with both valves opened 7/8 of the way. Belive me I went through the same thing as you when trying to tune my pipes in. I hope this helps you out. My Force screams from bottom to top now. Let me know if this works for you. Mudfoot

 

Thanks for the info. What elevation are you running at? I am at 5000 ft plus? Does this make that much difference on the jets and the air holes?
