    I'm coming off a 2 stroke and purchased this 2012 te449 due to the plate. Can anyone recommend what to do to gain hp/make faster? Currently I have a fmf pipe and map set to race2 and feel I need more after being on the 2 stroke.

    Is there any worthwhile tricks of the trade that produce hp? I don't want to change the cam or crank if I can find other alternatives. Can anyone recommend anything that's proven and work for them. Thanks in advance!

    Couple of suggestions, first I believe there is a sticky on popular mods for the 449. You can pull the ecu and ship to zip tye racing for a remab. Believe the cost I'd $50 and good bang for the buck. You can get a 2012 tc449 air box cover to allow for more air and a fmf power core exhaust. On my 2011 I removed the secondary butterfly and it hits harder and is more responnsive, definitely worth the work and cost $0. Good luck. It's a fun bike once you work the kinks out.

    If those above mods don't do it for ya, get a Power Commander V.

    It is a fairly powerful motor, are you talking about a lack of hp when rolling on? Sounds like the butterfly mod might be good for you.

    Butterfly mod is a no brainer imo. If you don't like it, put it back. Shouldn't take you more than 30minsv
