New drop brackets - timbersled/CR/kmod or make them yourself

Pull all the bogie wheels out except the rear 2 and run scratchers religiously. Your hyfax will wear much better and you will drop 1 pound per wheel removed, also buy a YTZ7s battery and ditch the stocker. That's good for 10 lbs for under 100. bucks. The headlight windshields assembly can go and thats another I think 7 lbs. If you want lights mount up some Piaa's ore some small fog lamp. Next I'd be looking for a used seat, Boss or Mountain Mod.

What he said is a great start.

When you change out the sliders go to the graphite ones they last 2 times as long if you run without wheels. Stock Yami part and inexpensive.

I have run with one set of wheels right on the front rail radius no scratchers about the same weight though. I get about 1500 miles out of a set of sliders --however I don't ride much trail stuff.

Whos battery is that (YTZ7s). Sounds like a good upgrade to loose a lil weight.

It is a Yuasa battery. It can be found under the Interstate Batteries brand as well. (PN FA-YTZ7S - still made by Yuasa)

Are you guys pulling the boggies out of the inside of the track too, or just the outer.
