I did it. I purchased a 2004 Polaris Predator 50 for my son. I can't wait to get home from work today and give it to him. I am sure it will take him sime time to get use to this ATV, but I was wondering for the future does anyone know of any aftermarket parts or accesories to make the 50 faster? I think top speed is suppose to be 15mph with the jumper removed and the throttle limitier opened up, but I am sure he/we will want more than that.

 

There are many different things you can do to make the Pred-50 go faster. These things range from sprocket, filter, head, pipe, tranny, carb, clutch, etc. mods. Since your unit is still on warranty, you may want to wait before you apply any 3rd party modifications. After the warranty period is over and if your son is demanding more power, then "start moding away". To obtain expert advice on the correct balance of mods, based on your riding conditions, you can contact all/any of the below. Each of their Specialized Consultants will provide you the experienced "balanced" recommendations you may be looking for.

As much as I'd like ot be a dealer of these parts, I'm not... APB-Racing is just what we are calling our racing team. Almost all of the stuff that I have on our quad came from Tommy at www.miniatvparts.com . I'll let you know what I've done with ours, but I'm no expert.

A 50cc quad has a lot more potential than the stock 15mph... Ours has been clocked at over 33mph, and whas more potential.. it just costs money [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The first thing I would do is to start pestering some of the pipe makers to make a pipe for that little quad... teh normal 50cc quad pipes won't work on that quad (I don't imagine) since it is a new smaller frame (Possibly based on the aeon mini-cobra).

Good luck on it... let us know how you like it in thefuture still. I'm interested in it for my youngest little racer when he's ready.

if you can find a pipe for your 2004 polaris predator 50 please let me know.i bought a new ignition for ours it was 100$ just plug it in ,it would bypass the rev limiter.it works well.we pulled the factory jumper too.

 

daddysgirl,
What kind of gains did you see with the new CDI, and which one did you choose. I too am waiting patiently on a pipe for this quad.

 

i bought the ignition from a place in michigan called speedwerx.com i told them it was for a predator 50 but the one they give you is for a 90 but it works very well.another thing i did was put a twist throttle on it because there thumbs dont have any muscle and they can ride alot longer.let me know if you want to do it and i will let you know what you have to do.all the pipes i checked on you had to remove the battery and oil injection and i dont want to do that.......good luck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

I'll check out speedwerx. Where did you find the pipes...I'm fixing to go premix anyway.

 

akwood, im sorry,what i wrote about the pipe was that they only make them for the 90 and you have to remove all the battery and the oil injection.everywhere i called they dont make them and they are not going to. people say there is not enough in demand and the cost of r&d.im going to just wait another year and get her a bigger one.I live in so calif i called them all FMF,PRO CIRCUT,DG,TRINITY.SORRY AGAIN.if you find one please let me know.

 

Daddysgirl,
I just got off the phone with Speedwerx, they have the ignition box for the predator 90 but said it works on the 50. What was the difference in top end speed you got when you installed it? Was it a simple process to install the new one. When I asked about other products for the Predator 50, they said there is a $50 air filter kit and they should have a pipe available in 2-4 weeks, they just need to finalize testing. Looks like you might get the pipe you have been looking for.

 

criminalmind, The new ignition took about 1 minute to install.Just unplug the old ignition and install the new,it comes with instructions. I clocked it with my wifes car and it went 28mph with me on it and i am 200lbs.It is worth the money, I would get it. I am definetly going to get the pipe and air cleaner.good luck,keep me up to date.
