Scrambler 400 "cheapest mod's"???
I have a 1998 Scrambler 400 4x4 [2-stroke] I was wondering what would be the easiest & cheapest way to make the machine run alittle stronger than stock. {jetting etc...} I do not want to give up any reliability.
Thanks for any help!! |

How cheap are we talking? A pipe and clutch give you the best bang for your money. You can put a stiffer primary spring for a little extra punch. That's about $20.

RcR stage one. 325.00 bucks shipped. Includes pipe/silencer,jets, filter,and airbox mods. Can't beat a deal like that. That also includes the best customer service in the buisness.

OK...Thanks.
I allso heard that the stock piston will probly take the cylinder skirt with it when it goes. Should I rebuild it know with a wiseco or wait untill it starts to run low on compression?? allso when it's apart does a very mild port job work good on this motor with stock pipe?? What about shaving the head?? Thanks! PS: Does an after market head pipe really help this motor enough to make a noticable difference??? |

Yes the pipes make a huge difference.

RCR stage one is the best deal if you want to mod a decent amount. For a cheap mod I would do a clamp on filter and toss the airbox, then a new pipe, after that rejet your carb and enjoy that alone will make a noticeable difference.

well i'm assuming you were running a little rich with stock calibrations,
put a k&n air filter and that is easy and cheap with still reliability. a set of reeds can help you out to search what you looking for... |

replace the piston first. I didn;t and its alot more expensive after the skirt gets ground up in your crank, fortunatly my cases didn't get a hole in them or anything. when its apart have the head shaved 0.020 it makes a good difference.
K&N clamp in is good as well but I see you are a 4X4 so keep in mind you will loose some water protection. |
