Welcome to KR! Checkout the mods in my signature they are working pretty good for me! Need to know your elevation to get the jetting close. And most of all get your checkbook ready! Lol:lol:

or you can get there by going to the sticky "Primary Spring Chart" @ the top of the V forum.....

definately thinking either the muzzy or pro-circuitT-4 for exhaust. For jet kit, I'm in NH so not much elevation. Gets cold though. I was thinking dynajet jet kit but they said it doesnt come with pilot needles. I need a kit where i can change the primary spring for winter riding (10-30 degrees) as apposed to summer riding (70-90 degrees). probably cant keep the machine jetted right with the same needles with up to 80 degree temp. swing?

What year is it---What color---Make up a sig like we have at the bottom---Mine is green but they say the orange is way faster, (mostly cause they use after market muffler bearings)---Anyhow let us know when your ready to start spending and the guys will chime in and help you with the different DIY mods.

you don't use "jet kits" they make it run like crap.

search for the "12 hole mod" and jet accordingly with correct KEIHIN jets.

he can just as easily put an 840, a 912, or a 1004 kit in the renegade, nothing you do short of a Busa motor will come close!

To polish the slides you're going to need elbow grease, which can be found here.

Elbow Grease [GRS08] - $6.95 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!


You can install these piston return springs for an extra 15 hp

Piston Return Spring - $14.99 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!


That's about all I can come up with.


No but seriously, stay with a muzzy exhaust, they make the best power so far to date (dyno proven). VForcejohn is a dealer.

How's that elbow grease work in achy joints? I think mine are low and need refilling.
