The kodiak's engine is not performance oriented, however it is quite capable of offroading. I would ride it the way it is....maybe add a pipe, filter, jet kit and larger tires that's about it......don't expect it to be a speed demon....it'll never happen

Check out my 26" Dirtdevils. I also added an exhaust tip from ebay. Makes it sound 10 times better.

Got it off ebay. The hole is about twice as big as stock. I did have to rich'in my fuel screw a hair, about a 1/4 turn did the trick. Do a search on ebay for exhaust end tip and you"ll see them. There worth the $40 or so dollars. sounds much deeper and throater.
