I'm gonna have to see some proof on 93 mph. Not knocking your machine but it has pretty basic mods, a fully built 450 that runs the Baja 1000 MIGHT get up that fast and their mod list is about 20 pages. If you did hit 93, you have little or no acceleration due to the gearing.

How did you get clocked? I have a TRX450 with similar mods and I can top out at 80. I don't see the exhaust cam mod and a K&N adding an extra 13 mph.

i was clocked by car....somewhere between 90 and 93. and it's not just a cam mod and k and n. also have yosh pipe, of course it's jetted, 15 tooth front sprocket, and gytr cdi box. I was running 78 with just a k and n, jetting, and yosh pipe. rev limiter wouldn't let it go any faster.

now i have rejetted due to high compression upgrade and have a hotcam on the exhaust side(stage one) and running 1/2 112 octane and 93 pump gas. not really interested in checking top speed anymore. top speed is useless. but with the right tuning, before the high compression upgrade, 90mph is not hard to attain.

It might be possible to get it up to that speed with those mods, but like bot said, those are pretty basic mods, and not really sufficient to pull the tall gearing needed to get up to 90mph, and therefore accleleration and low end rideability are severely comprimised. I have a 90mph quad, and you need alot more power than that to properly handle that tall of gearing.

I don't know what else to tell you. Between the cam upgrade, the front sprocket, and cdi box, my yfz 450 is reaching 90. My raptor 700 tops out at 75 and I walk away from it on top end. I walk away from it everywhere, lol, but topend I leave behind pretty bad. Had my 450 at the sand drags yesterday with the new piston in it and my low end is not suffering at all. I don't know how to show you proof see as how there's no speedometer on the bike itself. Anyway, however fast it goes, it screams.

have some pics of my two bikes on facebook.

Til next time,

The compression is going to make a big difference, I'm sure you noticed how much less sluggish it was on the bottom end. Like I said, 90+ possible yes, would that gearing be appropriate for a quad with the mods you listed at first, IMO, no. With the increased compression, probably not so bad. Also, I second that motion to post pics here, we want to see your toys.

It could be a luck of the draw kinda motor. My 400ex stock the motor and carb was pulling so much air with the stock box it wouldnt get enough air I had to mod my air box and such to get more air to it. Just wasnt enough. I dont have much in the way of mods and I can keep it pretty well even with a modded about the same TRX450 and can pull on another TRX450. He has some things hurting him though but the other it actually keeps up with him in a drag and I havent even dropped in a cam or piston yet.

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

      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      So I've got a Hisun 550 that I was doing some work on that required removing the CVT and it's housing. Upon attempting to reinstall the clutch, sheaves, etc, I found that the belt no longer fits - it's far too wide. None of the parts have been replaced, they're all OEM. Exactly the same parts as what I took off a few weeks ago.
      To be more specific, my belt is 1.25in wide, but the gap between the clutch and the primary sheave is only 7/8in wide. I'll include a few photos to explain.
      Has anyone ever experienced such a bizarre problem? Any help at all would be appreciated, I've been stuck on this for a month. I'm open to just about any suggestion.
