mods for 83' 185s

[teddybear]

can anybody tell me wat i can do besides the new 12:1 high compression piston im getting that would increase the power and speed of my 185? i know i need a new airbox because mine is "missing"...hmmm...i wonder...anyway...wat else can i do to make it a better performer? all i do pretty much is climb hills and ride in the woods so i dont race it unless i get on the roads...i have an 11/44 sprocket setting so its got torque...i cnt change the 11 tooth front sprocket because it was welded on before i got the trike...but it was brand new when i got it...my tires are brand new 25" carlisle trail pro's that have the nipple still on and have seen maybe 1 hour of use...i need to get an airbox and air filter or get a k&n filter...so...any help?

200x (or xr200 for even more power) camshaft. bigger carb.

personally i would ditch the 25" carlisle trail pro's . they are a very heavy tire and are not the normal tire for a 185s. 22" tires are more suited for a 185s. the 25" carlisle trail pro's will slow your acceleration and not really help your top speed with their added weight.

next would be a pipe, then a carb, then a cam,

thanks guys...now if i had more money...lol...i planned on getting a keihin carb and a full cobra exaust and a webcam..i might get a dial-a-jet also...and some new valves and titanium valve springs...of course...theres a grand right there for all that and i dont plan on putting that much in it

well..the tires will stay untill last because theyre brand new 100 dollar tires and i dont got money to buy new ones but when i get it ill consider that...really i i need is more power cause pretty much all i do is climb hills and stuff with my friend...hes got an 84 200e big red ...so its not hard to keep up with him

if you don't do much or any full throttle top speed running then spend a few bucks on a larger diameter rear sprocket and bigger chain to go with it so you can get back some of the gear ratio you lost when you stuck those monster tires out back. :)
