Only you can decide that. It's your quad and you are the one riding it. Is there a feature of it that you don't like? Is there something about the handling or the power delivery that you don't like or doesn't work well for your riding style? Only you can answer those questions. We could tell you to change all sorts of things but that's not going to make it better for YOU, and it could very well make it worse. Ride the quad, and if there is a certain thing you don't like, focus on that and work to solve that issue before moving on to the next thing.
Looking for advice
I’ve got a 2005 Trx450r.
Dasa Exhaust
242 webcam
Ferra valves with heavy duty springs
Ported head
13:5:1 high comp
Full flight +2 A arms
Axcaliber rear axle stock +3
08 carb
Mishimoto big radiator
Dwt wheels
Rental fat bars
Kill switch
K&N air filter
Nerf bars.
I’m looking for advice on anything I should change or upgrade. I’m not very knowledgeable on mechanics, just the riding aspect.

^^ I agree with mr. Hoser ^^ it’s your quad. Plus you have a ton done to it already. The only advice I would give you is upgrade your suspension. All that power and work on stock shocks will feel like you’re riding a board LOL. You can revalve your stock shocks, or spend some coin on some nice aftermarket, id go with aftermarket. JMO. Iether way you’ll be very happy with the additional upgrade.
send some pics of your quad bro. click the box that’s to the left of the camera next to the smiley face.
Then you can choose to take a picture or a pic from your phone gallery. would like to see your quad

Yes I love the way my quad rides, just wanted to know if there more or better upgrades I could be doing. I’m not very knowledgeable on the mechanics, just love riding. I want the baddest fastest trx- 450!!
Don’t we all. Im a 3 time national champion ( in my mind 😂) I even have my quad looking like it’s a competing race quad thats sponsored with stickers and bolt ons. But I race in the woods by myself so it’s easy to win championship. lmfao 🤣.Yes I love the way my quad rides, just wanted to know if there more or better upgrades I could be doing.

But if you’re happy with the way it handles then i guess you don’t “need”to upgrade suspension.
But if you did you’ll be very impressed and your skill level can improve. I feel that Suspension is always overlooked and very important. But that JMO. The good stuff is expensive 🤷🏻♂️. Nice a arm set up btw. Sits nice and low 👍
Going from stock to aftermarket suspension changed my riding experience extensively. But again it could be all in my head 😆Don’t we all.

Thanks for the advice on suspension, I will definitely look into that.Don’t we all.

Lmao yeah it’s pretty easy to feel like a top dog in the woods, with little competition.
thanks for the compliment!
No problem, you can always revalve your stock shocks too. But my opinion your spending half of not more of the price for some nice aftermarket ones, might as well spend the rest 🤷🏻♂️, again up to you good luck. You wouldn’t happen to have an 06+ hanging around you’d like to sell lol? Or some one you know?Thanks for the advice on suspension, I will definitely look into that.

06+ frame hanging around to sell*No problem, you can always revalve your stock shocks too.

Probably something I will do. I just got T-bond today by a 400r Honda bike, messed some of my stuff up lol so now is probably not a bad time to upgrade suspension. Didn’t destroy my trx, just cosmetics, and thankfully I only have a bruised shoulder. Currently I don’t even know anyone with a trx. All my friends and new stuff. But I’ll keep my eye out and let you know if I see something. Facebook market place has been the most reliable thing for me.No problem, you can always revalve your stock shocks too.

Glad the crash wasn’t too serious. 👍. And I’ve been on FB market place, so far just 04/05 frames everywhere, even some with title. But 06 🤷🏻♂️ not so much. Knew it was a long shot thanks, let us know what your thinking for suspension.Probably something I will do.

you can probably find a good set used on the book market place too.
I’ll keep my eye out for an 06 frame and let you know if I find one. Soon as I fix my the transmission in my ram 3500 I’ll start working on the trx.Glad the crash wasn’t too serious. 👍.

But as soon as you are done fixing the tranny in the Ram you’ll likely have to start fixing it again 😂 🤣I’ll keep my eye out for an 06 frame and let you know if I find one. Soon as I fix my the transmission in my ram 3500 I’ll start working on the trx.
