Welcome to the forums.

Pink (I think) primary may be another option for you as well.

Sounds like you've got everything covered or plan to cover it. Maybe tweaking the sprockets a bit when all the other stuff is added.

 

thanks scooter, apreciate the welcome
what are the differences between the pink and the white springs??? should anything be dine with the springs in the driven clutch,, and what would you do with the sprockets??

 

Hopefully, OPT will be in and fill you in on the springs and the exact way they'll affect the performance. He's the guru here and any advice he gives has always been spot on.

The sprockets are more of a tinkering I did with my old trail boss. Did the RCR stage 1 and it really gave it a lot of low end grunt. Problem was a lot of riding we did back then was in sandy trail conditions. So a few times the wheel spin dug more than it pulled out. Changed the front sprocket and it leveled it out, to me anyway. You may want to look at the current chain and sprockets and see how they've worn. When you do the work later, you could get a new set up fairly cheap off ebay.

 

thanks,,,, and sounds good,,, do a lot sand trail,, and dune riding here,,, high dessert.. most of the riding is in the middrainge i gues you woul say,, but some of the hills,, to get up its flat out lol the cd i unit heklped with the air box cover removed,,, but would cut out on long pulls at FT so,, running lean. this TB has had reletively light use on it,, till now hehehehe so sprockets show very little to no wear on them at this point,,, part of the reason not doing more major mods yet,,, still like new ,, and money of course lol
