okay one last thing the races are this weekend...i got a used lowering kit installed it.... now should i stiffen up the suspension it wasnt tippy at all last weekend but i heard my back tires were coming off the ground so any tips would be great last week i had my suspension totally loose......but i am woundering if stiffing it up would give me a little more bite.... plus the airfilter clamped to the carb did make a difference thanks for all the help soo far

 

If your back left tire is lifting going into the corner, stiffen up the right front spring. This will help to keep the weight from shifting too much onto the right front wheel thus taking weight away from the left rear.

 

GITRON is right, stiffening the right front shock should help bringing the left rear tire closer to the ground for traction. We use a durablue sway bar for TT racing on our race quads. They really help in distributing the weight on the tires and really helping control rolling. Also, not sure on your riding style, but we completly come off the seat and practically sit on the inside rear fenders on the turns to help keep the tires flat in the turns. I see a lot of people trying to just spin the tires loose into the turns and end up loosing a gear coming out of the turns.
here's some links to picts of my boys leaning during races last year.

You will also find that playing with airpresure will help in traction if you find you're blowing up tires or getting to much traction. We usually will run around 2-5 pounds on the rear outside tires and about 4-10 on the inside tires for TT racing with holeshot tires depending on track conditions.

Glad to hear the UNI filter worked well for you.

can u post a picture of your filter to carb mod. ive been wanting to do this for awhile but havent figured out how i wanted to do it. the shock mount seems to be in the way. would love to see how you over came it. thanks.

 

i was easy i ordered a uni filter from dennis kirk with a 2 1/4 inch diameter were it connectes to the carb it is also 5 inches long it is a tight fit but works well i paid 22.00 for the filter and that included shipping
