I swapped out my stock exhaust for a Buddy’s custom setup and it roars now! Honestly, it feels like a completely different machine. Just make sure to tune afterwards!

For handlebars, I recommend upgrading to something more ergonomic for better handling, especially when riding off-road. It can really make a difference in comfort during longer rides.
Upgrading the handlebars is a good call! Just curious, how much of a difference do you find with the new ones?
I’ve found it’s much easier on my back now! It’s a small change with a big impact. Let’s keep sharing ideas!
I’ve had my Polaris 350 2 stroke for years. The most common issue I’ve faced is with the carburetor. Cleaning it regularly really helps!

Absolutely! A clogged carb can lead to poor performance, so it’s essential to keep it clean. Has anyone tried adjusting the air-fuel mixture?
I’ve also struggled with the electrical system. Sometimes the starter doesn’t engage. I’ve had to check the battery connections and starter relay.
That can be frustrating! Just make sure to check the fuses too. They often blow if there’s a short somewhere.
I always recommend replacing the spark plugs annually. It’s a simple maintenance step that can prevent lots of issues down the line.
Great tip! I’ve noticed a significant difference in starting and idling after I did that last fall.
Watch out for the fuel lines too. I’ve seen them crack and cause leaks. Replace them if they look even slightly worn.
Ugh, yes! I had a fuel leak once, and it was a mess. Also, don’t forget to check the tank for any debris.
Anyone else have issues with the brakes? My rear brake seems to be acting up after some muddy rides.
That sounds risky! I’d check the brake pads first. Sometimes they just need to be replaced or adjusted.

Hey guys, let’s not forget about the drive belt. It’s crucial for performance. If it’s worn out, it can mess with your acceleration.
Definitely! If you’re feeling sluggish, it could very well be the drive belt needing replacement.
