What kind of budget are you on? What kind of riding do you do?

For basic trail riding I would say get an exhaust, aftermarket air filter with the carb jetted correctly. Get a new CDI box that will give you an increased ignition curve and a higher rev limiter. Those things would give you some major gains.

As for looks, I don't know what kind of bumpers and such are available for the Ozark but some new rims and tires always give it a sharp new look.

Try Plexus Plastic Polish to restore the look of your plastics.

No after market bumpers for it. Recreation tire and wheel can help you with aftemarket tires and wheels. You can also mount a winch on it. Any tire and wheel combo that fits a Honda Recon 250 will fit your Ozark. example

Heres is Toolmans 07 with the 23x8x12 an 23x10x12 swampfoxs on it. No rubbing anywhere on it. No lift kit on it either.

I found this picture on a thread from ATV Source.

As far as performance mods bots got that covered. Just watch how much you dump into it if you want a bigger quad. I have owned my Ozark since 02, with no problems. Personally I wouldn't mess with motor mods. My friend done that with a Recon , it helped. But for the money should of been put towards a bigger quad. Stock they are awsome , motor wise anyhow.

i want to customize my quad into a more of a racing quad. not a mudding/field riding quad. i dont have a budget. i ride on hard dirt trails, and on pavement roads, and also obviosly grass. so plaease give me suggestions:)
Check my profile and look at mine. I ride with 300Ex with no problems. Also the Z-250 and 250 EX won't out run me either out in the open or wooded trails. If you want a racing quad , you are better of spending your money on a sport quad, not an utility quad.

BB, they race 4x4's in GNCC races and the Baja. Why not?

I would start out with new shocks. If you can find some Elkas, Fox, Axis or I-shocks for them that will increase your handling and wheel travel. You increase handling you decrease lap times.

The Ozark is not a 4x4, and after market is very limited for the Ozark. Personally I would not spend much more than what a tire and rim combo. The engine performance up grades are not worth they money. By the time you upgrade the engine and shocks, you could of sold the Qzark and bought a 400Ex , Z-400, and ETC. I just hate to see him waste all that money and not have total satisfaction. Beleive me I have spent countles hours checking on upgrades for the Ozark.

Hello new to the site. I was googling recon and came upon my picture that was used in your post. It looks like your using a picture of my 07’ recon. Am I right?

Hey Dumbass,, why was you using a picture of my 07 recon an saying it was yours? Talk about a lameass person, you gotta take the prize.

An don't tell me you didn't, because I was googling recon an came upon my picture that was in your post at one time.

Your not a mod, your a thief IMO

Cat

First off it was copied an pasted from ATV Source. I did not notice the wording. I screwed up. Opps!!

By the way I corrected the wording for you. Thank you for pointing that out to me Toolman.

      What should I do about this , bad oil leak where the filter cover bolts on . Can I use some gasket maker 

    • By Uglyside38
      I have a 1988 Quadrunner 250 2wd. My brother in law sold it to my son for $20...had been sitting outside for several years. Got it home and had it running in about 30 mins. Ran it a bit and then went to looking at the carb as it was having trouble idling. Was getting it pretty close, then started losing spark...Also, it wouldn't start up every time...only about 1 in 5 tries. Anyway...now, it has what I can only describe as "intermittent" spark. I can get 1 light spark right when the start button is pressed and sometimes one when it's released...but none while cranking. 🤷‍♂️

      I have replaced the spark plug, ignition coil/wire, and traced wires best I can. I noticed a couple frayed wires at the pickup coil where it enters the case. So, now I have the cover off, stator and pickup coil out and trying to test the coil. I do have about 114 ohms resistance for pickup best I can tell. And I can read minute voltage when I drag a magnet across it. Could it still be bad? Can a bad ignition switch/button cause this? (I did have the switch off to oil the choke cable)...pulling rope makes no difference though...any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! It's the intermittent part that's throwing me off!

      My uncle bought a Baja 250, 2006. Knew there was no spark since the get go. He don't know anything about quads so is getting me to help him try to get it running...
       
      battery is bad so I connected battery charger to it to crank it over , cranks over well , but no spark .... 
      Lights and everything work fine , but with each crank over using the e start switch , the display reads 999 888 777 666 ... Right down to 000 and repeats itself . 
       
      He managed to get a parts bike , I changed over the CDI and the coil and the stator from the parts bike and there was another black box by the voltage regulator I changed over ... I used my multimeter to confirm as much as I could works , it's hard without knowing which wires are which , and I cannot find any diagrams online for this bike ? 
       
      Do you think it could be the Killswitch? There's so many wires coming from there I don't know where to start . Also I should mention it appears the fan on the front of the bike has been taken off (the wires have been cut too ) 
       
      If this bike sparked it would run . The previous owner said he parked it one day and it just wouldn't start after.

      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?
