lol, we got the mud tires on the recon and it's good. K&N on the rancher improved the top-end but it still feels like something holds the bike back in the high-end. Even my dad on his 500 smokes me. I'm only able to keep up to about 3rd gear with extremely high shift-points. After that though it feels like fourth gear is fastest possible since fifth is geared like 1:0.73 making it more of an overdrive. It actually slows down a bit when I shift into fifth making it a struggle gear hunting at high speed on trails. Sucks. Any ideas 400exkid? It's getting annoying as crud and all I can think is to get a better pipe. It just feels way underpowered at high speed.

well im not sure but dont you have to jet it because arent you getting more air flow with the new filer?

Not that much more air I wouldn't think. Might try that though. And personally I think it could turn them, if I could get it to the point where I needed to start out in 1st, I'd be on 30s. 2nd - 3rd gear is enough power to get going right now, and in 1st gear it pulls my dad's quad out of the mud easy as pie. Just would be slow.. although it already is slow so who cares. Might try to save up for a CRF150F to ride fast.

I've looked around and decided my next mod will be a Warn 424. Seeing my buddy on his AC500 doing wheelies and burnouts where I can't is frustrating. Plus it should give me a little better top end.
