New Rubicon top speed

I have been reading up on this as the machine (2016) is limited to 75kms/hr (46m/hr). Nothing new here, but no one hascome up with a cheap resistor type mod to get around this that i could find. Honda Rubicon 500 EFI MAGNUM REVOLUTION-PRO ATV Speed / REV Limiter CDI Box
This is the only mod i could find, & you have to disassemble the CDI. I cant see me doing that to a 2 week old machine. Now you may say why do i need the extra speed? 1) cause its there if you free it up, 2) I paid good $$ for the machine so its my prerogative if i so choose -_-
Anyway, i may come up with some sort of inline resistor for speedo gear line the once the warranty is off, if i do i will post up the results…. until then, anyone have any ideas?

400ex smoking intermitting?

I put new valve seals in it thinking it was that? but still doing it? do you think it might be a head not torqued down right? no smoke on wot either so I know its not rings? WTH is going on? any help would be great? the quad runs, starts and idles great?

2011 Rancher TRX420FE – Snorkeling

Hi. I am trying to buy a snorkel kit for my atv but not sure which one will give me the best performance/not ruin my quad…..engineered properly!

Is there a good snorkel system out there for my situation?

I have a hmf performance slip on, hmf optimizer, so I am ready. Any suggestions? Should I build my own? 2" intake or bigger?

Can I buy a system that will help my bike perform better than it does? If so, any recommendations out there?

250ex exhaust on recon?

My wife’s machine is a ’07 Recon. This engine really "woke-up" when I installed a Uni-filter & rejetted the carb. Now on with the quest for more power(insert Tim Taylor grunt here).
I am considering modding the exhaust next. Would there be anything to gain by installing a stock system from a 250ex?
