my yz 85 questions

i got a new yz 85 i picked up yesterday , and its all stock except a fmf silencer and airbox lid removed, i was just wondering what are some cheap add ons , and what a good pipe for it that wont put a hole in your pockets
any thing else u guys could help with would be appreciated

Any decent pipe is going to run you 150$+. Reeds and tires can play a signifigant role in the performance of your bike, as well as jetting and other carburetor settings.

ya its been rejected , good michelin tires, just got rebuilt a lil while ago, airbox lid removed , i was thinking maybe a kn filter but idk

 

[flying flea]

A newer filter than stock wouldn't do anything power related, but if you get one that has 2 different foams, it will keep nearly all gunk, sand, and pebbles out of your cylinder, saving you hundreds of dollars in the long run. What sprockets do you use?

wel i have i believe its a 50 tooth back , maybe 48 and a spare 47 tooth
,i figured bought getter a kn filter so i could get more airflow

I would get an FMF Gold series fatty pipe my cr 85 has one and it looks and sounds great.

 

[coobeans]

ya i was thinking bought it or see if i can find a cheap aftermarket one

I would change things in this biggest bang for the buck order order :

1. Jetting, KX 85 needle and slide, start with a 135 main (135 with V Force reeds, 132 with stock reeds)

2. Steahly flywheel weight

3. Phathead racing head using two steps up higher compression domes (will require race gas).

4. Pipe( FMF Fatty)

i think ill stick wit maybe getting a pipe , no need for head mods
