If you get a stock quad - what/where would you improve first....

i would say shocks. you can have all the power in aus but is no good if you can not keep it to the ground and you bike handles like a bucket of crud.

fair enought but exhaust can be done than once you strt makeing lots of power you look at suspension. i think everyone would look at intake and exhaust then go for a suspension setup

First & foremost I reckon any quad/trike performance is directly related to the size of the operators balls

I'd put exhaust 5th.
it is a tough one because it would depend on the quad, and to some degree rider weight suitability to that quad.
I reckon Flexx bars will improve anything.
them maybe suspension, rims and tyres, then A'arms.
I reckon I'd chuck the exhaust baffle away and do all them first.
Pitty you can't rank 1 to 10 in these polls.
It will be interesting to see the result of this one.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and actualy list them in order of preference.
Highest Priority performance accessory???
1. Fat bars or better than standard in a bend that I like are always first for me, getting comfortable in the cock pit is the most important part of set up.
2. Steering Damper, cos I've got problems with both my shoulders definitely up there.
3. Tyres and rims, are a big factor in getting your handling sorted out (depending on the terrain)
4. Wider A arms/Axle
5. Suspension, in combination with the arms usually
6. Exhaust
7. Vortex, depends on what we are talking here if EFI then at the same time as the pipe if CDI then after
8. Cams, only after head work
9. Big Bore, once again depends on what quad but most of the time not worth it for most of the riding I do.

I'm with you BC250R, image is everything. Especially if you are anything like me (can't ride to save myself) then you may as well look fast!

Mick says he can't ride....
You should see his stickers.
Sure it looks ok to the untrained eye, but...
The Elka stickers are too low which will introduce instability when cornering.
Just one across the front would do the trick, and dramatically improve understeer on hard pack as well.
You'll probably find bigger 47 stickers would give you more top end too.
Don't go to big though, you don't want a big hole flat spot of the bottom.

You leave the big flat spot on my bottom out of this.
