Cheap Power

[ras86]

ok i know you guy have to know something about gettin a little more power out of your trikes. i was wandering if you would help me because im not the person to go out and spend a lot of money on stuff i was just wondering if you guys had any little tricks that would help me.

[Fox250R]

Air filter, jet the carb,race fuel....

[ras86]

idk about the race fuel but the rest is a good start

[Dammit!]

If you're running stock compression you don't need to worry about race fuel. It's an ddiction though. You'll end up there eventually. ;)

Get wrid of your air box. Change the pipe. No silencer? Maybe change the sprockets. Smaller rear tires.

[TrikerR]

no air box, clean up your ports, change sprockets, but BIGGER tires on to go faster...um thats about it, unless you wanna start spending money.

[88 Turbo Coupe]

I most certainly agree

[ras86]

i was reading about shaving half of the hook thing on a spark plug to give you a little more power so i tried it out it might have helped do some thing because when i push started it. it started after like 5 feet i was amazed

[ras86]

i don't plan on spending alot of money but i will spend some so come on guys hook me up with some ideas

[Dammit!]

The most basic mods that will get you the most noticable gains are a good performance pipe/silencer and an aftermarket air filter. Let's the engine breathe much better and makes a very nice power gain. Just remember you have to re-jet the carb when you do either of those.

Pipes can be kind of expensive but you might find a deal on a used one in the classifieds here or on ebay.

REMEMBER:

For every neat sticker you put on you gain 1.5 HP. For every sticker you put on that is of a company you use a part from, it adds 2 HP. If you have stickers on it that are from there era of your ride (i.e. like one that is either actually from the 70s/80s, or is a reproduction one) you gain 2.5 HP1 :naughty: :naughty: :p

Looks like im gaining about 5 HP! lol Trikezilla

I would ras86 start by a air filter and pipe, like dammit said they can get pricey.

[ras86]

[ras86]

LMAO! I'll have to start shaving all of my plugs!

[ras86]

im sorry old schoolin but im just not that person to fix up junk i like to just be the heck out of it and take it to the scrap yard if i wanted something nice i would by something worth getting and i really don't think its very kind of you to sit there and make fun of my stuff because im not like 99 years old and still living with my mom

also if you new how to read it would help alot because it says i was "reading" not that the all mighty would be care but just something that i would point out

[OldSchoolin86]

ras86, take it easy man, I know you just read it and tried something out. I just found it really funny and I apolgize if I offended you. I promise you though that shaving plugs will not help you. A clean properly gapped plug is your best bet.

Who told you that? :rolleyes:
