I have just purchased a 2000 Adventurer. I would like to know what type of performance enhancements are available for this motorcycle. I have removed the carbs because the the floats seem stuck. The bike was in storage for two years with a full tank of gas. Can I rebuild the carbs to get more performance? Is there anything I can do in terms of the air cleaner or exhaust? Thanks.

There is a lot than can be done. It really depends on your wallet. I would start by getting the thing to run. This will give you a base line for how well each enhancement is or is not working. 90 to 100 hp can be realized (this was factory for the 885 in other models). Personally I'd start with the exhaust staintune or thunderbike. thats stage 1.
Stage 2 .. 3? link is for Wilcox who seam to have some fans and detractors. regardless illustrates the next steps well. it is also possible to go bigger with 955 liners. Also seen different igniter (higher rev limit) and coils.
NOTE all this is conjecture on my part as I am only seriously thing about exhaust and the only for acoustics than performance. Current I can keep up with the Sport bikes and don't think twice about Harlys/Cruisers.

If your looking for a cheap performance upgrade get a K&N replacement filter an drill a bunch of 3/4's holes in the air box, up the jetting to 115 mains and 40 pilots. You can also use hole saw and drill out the baffles in the mufflers. This will make a big difference in sound and power. For extra punch you can also switch to a 45 tooth rear sprocket. Did this to mine and really woke it up for little money. My mpg hasn't even changed from the upgrades. Good Luck getting in running. Fbird

Avon Venom-X tires

Progressive Suspension 11-1144 front springs.

Set the fork oil level to 120 mm with the PS springs installed and the tubes fully extended.

You can drill the mufflers, but the offroad pipes are a better choice since they save a lot of weight.

For the stock air filter box, K&N filter, #100 main jets, #40 pilot jets, stock needles and mixture screws at around 1.5 turns if they've been previously adjusted. If they haven't been adjusted, leave them alone.

The best power I've gotten from my 2K Adventurer is 73 RWHP with the stock bike turning in 61 RWHP on the dyno. That's with the stock cams and pistons, modified Trophy airbox, Factory Pro needles, #145 main jets and #40 pilot jets.

If you want to go further you can install the Factory Pro needles, a Trophy airbox, bigger cams, higher compression pistons, custom pipes... depends on how much you want to spend.

I installed a set of Trophy cams last week and have noticed a significant high-rpm power boost, but have not as yet worked out the jetting or done a dyno run.

Thanks for the information guys. This is a great website. I've been a member for two days and have gotten much value out of it already. I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks again!
