I bought my wife a ZL550 (carb) at the end of last season. We finally were able to really ride
over the last two weekends. (She is a great pilot and really knows her stuff!
She wants more "snap" out of her sled.
It will top out at about 95mph. She does not care about top end but wants that
440 type of feel in it.
Is there a way to modify a 550 to make it more responsive on the trails?
I think that my only option is to really work on the clutching.
-Are there aftermarket pipes out there?
-Will heel clickers work?
-What helix and spring combos are out there?
-Wll K&N filters make a "real difference?"
I guess in reality I am looking for a response from the people that have modified there
older Cougers or have Knowledge with this engine.
Any input will be helpfull!
Thanks!
