Power boost on my YTM 225DX?

[Stan MaN]

I'd like to put a extended swingarm on my DX but its shaft drive anyone know how to do this on a shaft? Also I could use some more power out of my 4stroke any Idea's, Im on a tight budget.

uhh, I think you can forget the extended swingarm for your shaftie. why do you want one? I know it ain't b/c you got too much power. ;)

Yeah I only wish! Nah Its becuase I ride on my ranch which has some knarley hill climbs and steep cliffs that I try to ride up but always seem to wheelie, until I roll the bottom:eek:

[250sx]

are you climbing up on the tank when you make these hillclimbs? I mean leaning WAY over the bars?

when you start to wheelie DON'T LET OFF THE GAS...just gently apply some rear brake to bring the front end down. if you let off then get back on you will lose momentum and have a greater chance of flipping.

not letting off the gas is one of the keys to hillclimbing.

Yeah buddy I am way over the bars, touching the front fender. I thought about using the back brake but which should I use the foot brake or the lever? cuz currently I do not have a foot brake. I know what you mean by letting off the gas and flipping I've learned better, and my trike has gotten a beating while doing so!:mad:

either one will work as long as it's operating the REAR brake.

Stan, I changed the exhaust on my 225DR and it really pepped up it's performance. Everything else is stock. They run about $105 out of a DKirk catalog.

I was thinking of a pipe but gotta save up.

sorry I dont have anything extra for my trike yet.
