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.

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?

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.
