how to get more power out of raptor 350

[Honda250rider]

Some of you know that I'm looking at replacing my dad's dirt bike with a atv. We found a really nice 07 raptor 350 for a good price on ebay. What are some cheap mods/adjustments that can help get more power out of a 350? Thanks

An exhaust system, intake, jetting accordingly, and a cdi would give you a bit more. Definitely a noticeable gain.

it already has a fmf slip on and K&N air filter, I was just trying to find some cheap ways to make it a little more fun.

Porting, high comp piston, cam upgrade, bigger carb, exhuast header, and ignition upgrades. Unfortunately none of these are really cheap, but they are the only way you can get any real power out of that motor. Those bikes are quite underpowered, unless you have already gotten it, I would look for a 400EX, you should be able to find them in the same price range as the Raptor 350, and it is a much better performing machine.

My dad likes the 350 for its low center of gravity and its width. width is really important because we need to get it and my bike on our 5x8 trailer. If we don't like it, then we'll sell it this spring and get a 400. Here's the link. 2007 Yamaha 350 Raptor ATV Quad Extras Low Hours CLEAN :eBay Motors (item 130318380561 end time Jul-19-09 18:35:15 PDT) the seller has lots of experience with atv's and just got a brand new kfx450, that's why hes selling this one. He'll sell it to us for $2400 including barely used extra tires and all the other parts for the quad. Since this is our first quad, we really don't need to have it screamin fast. This will be our little "starter quad" i guess.

that is a very nice machine, but i would go for a raptor 250 they give more power than a raptor 350, and the are much more stable and alot more fun to ride.
