Hi
There's a drag competition next weekend, and I will probably go there with my SX, because there's a trike class. I want my SX to be more performant, but I don't have a lot of money for mods. What can I do to make it faster??

Thanks

depends on your tire size, but throw a big red ring and pinion in it, any modifications to the air filter/box or exhaust that will let it breath better (rejet for it) and weight reduction, you might looks like a flammer but take racks off and even head lights and what not. remember, don't completely fill your tank with fuel, it is heavy ya know ;)

hmm, since you cant do gearing, id go for a smaller tire,, a lighter tire to that. k&n, a pipe. thats all i can think of thats kinda cheap

you probably aren't going to win anything with an SX, just go and have fun.

YOU will lose more time on a bad reaction time than any of the things mentioned,, since its a sx sport trike go and have fun ,,cut a good light and hope for the best,,,,, mainly have FUN,,,,

practice your take off. you dont want to spin or have to let up on the gas because of a wheelie.

reaction time is the most important thing. the difference in speed between the 350x and 250r is nothing compared to the launch. who ever has a better launch wins.

make sure your front tire has plenty of air in it. ive seen many races lost, with 4 wheelers anyway, all because one guy has plenty of air in the tires and one guy has low tires. low tires=more drag. at least when the tires are on the ground.

I know its off-topic, but do you have any pics of your FourTrax? I'd like to see it.
