Tom at SYC Powersports is our primary supporting vendor for performance parts. He has a banner ad at the top of this thread. Give him a call. Great guy.

If you ever need stock parts, I suggest going wtih gokartsrus. Their link is in the left pane on the home page. Super to work with and great prices.

Also, what is your primary goal? What kind of riding will you be doing with it? More woods or more top end desired? The answer to this will dictate what you should look for in performance parts.

Well, you could start out with what I did and get 10G slider weights, a 1500 RPM main clutch spring, and a Uni performance package #1. You can get all of this from http://www.sycpowersports.com Those three parts will increase your power significantly. They did for me. If that's not enough you can also get a high performance variator and a no rev cdi.

Call Tom at SYC powersports and tell him what your goals are and he can guide you on which parts will suit you best. Fortunately, if you are looking more for trail riding capabilities instead of top speed, there are a LOT of options.

Yes, that's it. And the GY6 is the name of the engine on your buggy.
