i want to wake up my warrior a little

[warriorman11]

so guys my buddy just went out and got a ltr450 so i was wondering what should i do to wake up the warrior a little bit more... i have a exhaust, cam, and a k&n and i knkow i wont be keepin up with him but a little boost would make me feel better about keeping it so does anybody got any ideas? high compression, big bore, anything.......

 

[87warrior]

big bore piston p&p edelbrock carb helps a lot gearing the bike oversize valve's

 

[dswwarrior350]

High compression piston and an edelbrock carb will be about 500 bucks worth of parts, that would be a really nice increase. Not enough to come close to him though.

 

[warriorman11]

keep the ideas comin... im not tryin to keep up with him im just tryin to bump my ride up a little bit

You can also have the valves honed and opened up a bit to let it breathe a little easier. What kind of cam do you have, and what's the lift? Do you have the prodesign intake with the K&N? Is your airbox lid cut/off? or still all together. and what's your gearing? small stuff like the air box lid won't yield much, but when you add it all up it helps a touch.

stupid question from me but...do you have a jet-kit along with your filter? that always helps but not as much as boring it over...and like Bill said, gearing helps, i think i saw a gearing chart in the forums somewhere, you oughta check that out

 

[imtarnished]

well from gearing you won't get any more power out of it. But depending on where/how you ride you can gear it so you have more useful power in the throttle range that you ride in. You can get it so it has a little more low end, and less top end or vise versa.

i have a 395 lift hotcam, i cut my airbox lid, i have a full dmc exhaust, 15 in the front 40 in the rear, and its jetted

Also don't forget about a cdi, and an aftermarket/lightened flywheel for better throttle response (less rotational mass). The cdi is for overall gains, and it goes very well with the Edelbrock, atleast I've heard that a few times.

[warriorman11]

i heard that the only cdi that makes a difference is the dynatek... well today i took my frame to get it powder coated

Who makes a flywheel for the Warrior? I and a few others have been looking for one.

Nobody makes ones, places like duncan and id imagineFST will take your stock one a lighten it. I think duncans is 75 dollars which aint to bad. I thought about doing it but didnt want to pull the flywheel and have the downtime, maybe this winter!

 

[rbod]

yea, good idea. mine is getting a pretty intense rebuild this winter. Might even get the frame coated.

Suspension! Get shocks, wider A-arms and wider rear axle. Good suspension will let you use the power you already have.

 

[warriorman11]

yea im lookin for some a arms and front shocks... i already have a works quadstar in the rear... too bad my warrior didnt break down in the winter or else this wouldve already had happened and not in the middle of summer

 

[warriorman11]

just changed it its getttin powder coated silver vein
