you can put the 90-01 red power bands, they are the bomb.
the monster energy power can works well.
also the white air box adds at least 15 Hp

you'll be doing 5th gear starts in no time.

but seriously why dont you have a bit of a search and learn about the bike you have.

All I have to offer is a place where you can talk dirtbikes, set up rides, speak you mind, and have alot of fun.
The only two rules you need to follow are:

1. No Web-Riders
2. No Whiners

http://www.bannedcr500riders.com/board/ ... m.php?f=16then go to here.

can you ride your "stock" 500 to 100% of its potential 100% of the time?

I know I can't!

from what I have read on this forum most people say proper jettinghttp://www.bannedcr500riders.com/board/ ... c.php?t=92

and proper suspension settings are the best performance upgrades you can get.

also there are numerous engine modification threads
i.e. porting the cylinder, modification to the crank cases, pwk carbies ,later model ignitions etc, etc here is a good place to start for interchangability.

I'd go with an iKat and flywheel weight, personally.

We'll knock off the bs if you get rid of the chip on your shoulder.

Until then, why do you feel you need more power? What type of riding do you do? Are you using the bike to its potential and need more?

PS... and intro about yourself in the "Introduce Yourself" section would be pretty neat

Throw it out and build one out of aftermarket parts. Honda has never had a freakin clue what they are doing!

In all seriousness, the best upgrades on my bike: PMB kickstand, High bend bars, proper weight springs, and keep it tuned and maintained.

If you actually NEED more than that, you're my freakin hero.

Sorry no chip....I really don't need more power just pipe is cracked so needs replacing thought might as well go with aftermarket newer if possible and was just wondering if different year reed cage fits the 85 motor and no I can't ride bike 100% but who can? Ha ha what year flywheel fits I couldnt find one....library is coming just hard to make it in after work and I ride ice and hare scrambles

If you are in need of a pipe, i might have an extra fmf laying around ?

your bike being the 85, has what most guys call a high pipe so 89 onward will not fit.

pipe cracking is an issue on the 500, just make sure it is fitted correctly
make sure your mounts are fitted correctly and the pipe doesnt get forced into position.

reeds and reed cages.............Hmmmm there are many many thoughs on which are the best reed block/reed combination.

ebay, service honda, rockymountain atv, ron ayers etc etc are your friends!

make sure your bike is running proper, jetting, reeds, compression, silencer packing, decent tires...
the best $ i spent is on armor, handguards and rad guards
the best $ i spent for performance was magura and 250 ign, thats just me tho
