I have a pipe and a higher compression piston (10.25 to 1) in mine, and it probably goes a bit better than stock. I'm also trying to regear to get more 1st gear torque, as I can give up some top end speed, that I never use. There's no trail conditions around here that I enjoy going 55 mph on. Someone else, different terrain, probably a different story.

All I did on mine was 1.00 mm large piston. New valves and seals. Carb kit and a UNI filter. I was suprised how much freshening up the engine actually makes. I use it on trails mainly and its more then enough for what I do.

At the end of the day it is still a 200x, you could actually spend quite a bit of money and still not be happy with the power output. You arent going to get much more hp outta that thing by simple bolt ons. Maybe its time to sell it and pony up to buy a 350x if 4-smokes are your fancy, just a thought.
