upgrades

Im looking for all the upgrades to make one better and more reliable. I know FCR 41 carb and 04 ignition. But as far as valves, rockers , chain tensioner or even newer cover. What is the way to go? And of course Main bearings. Looking for the complete solution. pollo

Two weeks away from getting another 70degree, this one with some minor things, only upgrade engine had is a acra pipe. I heard that a fmf header is the best along with a acra muffler. True? What else is doable? Cams, cylinder head, air intake boot etc. Where to buy!? What to build!?

my engine and Tyre choice have a habit of destroying rear hubs, rear spokes and ripping the gearbox in half. (105mm bore and bolted paddles) Ive had 6 gearbox failures In Total, about half of those with the 100mm bore and knobbies but none in the last 150 hrs with a bolted paddle, 75rwhp...

Looking for info on performance and reliability upgrades for the FE650. I am currently running an Akrapovic muffler. How do I tell if the head pipe is Akrapovic as well? Anybody used these guys performance parts? Use the arrow slide inside the central box to see all the trick parts...

i own a 10' fe450 which is great and i enjoy riding so much, but recently i have riden my friend's fe570 and i just went nuts. any recommendations as to upgrading my engine to get that extra power of the 570?? my bike has an akrapovic slip on and tnt air filter?

The first and most agreed upon by the posts I've seen here is the FMF 4.1. Absolutely a must for the new 570. Runs like a different machine, smoother, cooler and more compact. The second and more discretionary but I still think very important is the Trail Tech HID headlite. Where I live...

Hey guys. Unfortunately I have to sell my 2010 FE 390, so here we go! I bought it new in September of 2010 from Elite up in Loveland, CO. I have a a clean title in hand with no issues. This bike is STREET PLATED!! Should make it easy for someone else out of state to get a sick plated dirt bike...

Hey guys. Long story short, I am wondering what there is to do to the top end (machining aside) while im in there. I have read about the dual spring valve kit. What about valves? SS good enough? Cam, How pricey are the "high performance" ones? Chain, OEM is fine? Piston, high comp? is there...

I have a stock 2006-650 motard. What kind of upgrades would you recommend? exhaust, airfilter, tuning, carbs etc.... or othe stuff. I was thinking about buying an akrapovic-setup.. or maybe those double-can systems from that swedish company. do you guys know if thet will fit a roadlegal...

Got my year 2000 FC600 in bits at the moment trying to find the source of the oil smoke. Will probably have to replace the valve stem seals and piston / oil rings as a minimum. What upgrades are available / advisable for this model (the last year of the 'old' engine)?? I'm not sure if the...

Hi everyone, I'm going to tear into the motor to investigate the oil smoke issue (see separate post). Whilst I'm doing this, I plan to replace the camchain, as it's used up almost all of the travel on the tensioner. What upgrades will work on my year 2000 FC600? I see most of the upgrades...

Hello, My camwheel just went on my intake rocker, luckily before too much damage, and I want to ensure I make the most effective upgrades while i'm changing the wheels. Could someone please tell me what year and model of upgrades are the best for this application. Specifically what...

Looking at buying a 2001 fx470e for around $2600, would like to know what I need to change in the motor to make the bike more reliable like a 2003.If I do all the work myself how much money would I need to invest in the bike to make it as reliable as a 2003?I would like to just invest in the...

I found what I thought would be a good bike for my son (02 FE400). And then Tjettim says I need to do a whole list of upgrades. I'm a little new to this upgrade business. Does this mean when I go buy the new parts that they will give me the upgraded parts automatically? Or, do I have to buy...
