i just purchased a 00' 500 and was just wondering what kind of improvements i should make first to get the best bang for my buck. i was thinking of spending between 300 and 500 dollars. any advice would be great, love the scrambler now just want more ......... thanks all!!!

 

Try www.rittercycle.com Rick was very helpfull with me. I just haven't been able to order yet. He is very honest and even recommended a pipe from another manufacturer, for my Scrambler 500.
Later,

 

did he say how much performance to expect or at what price for what pieces??
thanx

 

The first thing you should look at is a roller clutch and new front spring and weights. This will give you the most performance for your $$$$.

 

If I had it to do over, with a $500 budget...

I'd buy tires first!

what kind of money am i looking at for a roller clutch and springs? is it easy to install, or is it something a dealer should do?? thanks

 

The roller with the spring was around $220 I think. Expect to pay another $50 for a front spring and weights. It takes two people to install, but if you're mechanically inclined at all its easy. Snap-ring pliers are the only unusual thing needed.
