Okay I wanted protection, so I added full ProArmor to the Belly, A-Arms and Swing Arm. What should step 2 be? <$500 to start. Thank [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Lets see, your options are:
Nerf bars
Tires
Pipe system
Graphics Kits
Air box, Air filter, Carb. mods.
Cam

It all depends on what your plans are and if you want looks or power or whatever.
If you plan on racing I would save up and do a shock upgrade.

 

nerfs and exhaust would be the best idea in my opinion

 

Axle, if you do any jumping at all get an axle.

Question? What will NERFs provide me?

 

Here's a list of what I've done (besides adding armor) all prices don't include tax or shipping &amp; handling and are in US funds

(Free) cut out pea-shooter from stock exhaust pipe
(Free) remove snorkle cap and cut holes in top of airbox
($5) 140 Main Jet (has not been trail tested, may need 145 or 150)
($0.20) two No.4 washers to raise needle height (has not been trail test, may need to use only 1 washer or 3, it definitely needs a washer)
($5.00) speaker fabric to act like an &quot;outwear&quot;
($22) Uni filter
($208) 22Hx12Wx10wheel Realtors on Douglas Red Labels 0.190
($14) 13 tooth front sprocket (have not received yet)
($0.78) 7/8 inch clip to hold on new sprocket
Total ~$255

The re-jet, exhaust hack, Uni filter and air-box hack (Total:~$32) have definitely helped the Z's low end. It seems to stall at a much much lower RPM. It hits the rev limiter a bit faster now (according to my butt-dyno)

You can spend $70 for the alba K&amp;N and outwears + $60 for a dyno jet kit or you can do what I did for 1/4 of the price. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me or reply here. I always check threads I've posted in.

 

I would definitely upgrade your air filtration, K&amp;N or UNI, and do an exaust system with new jetting.

I wouldnt have a quad without nerfs. Nerf bars help keep other quads away from your tires and getting tangled together and also help keep your feet on the quad not under the rear tires.

I only ride either along or with a few buds. Never get close enough to tangle. Thanks for the advise though.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

The first time you jump and your foot slips off the littel pegs and you run yourself over those 150 nerf will have paid for themselves.
