advance your timing ($35 for a plate), bump your compression up ($75ish), and lighten your flywheel (60ish). easy cheap mods will significant gains.

To increase the compression take the head to a machine shop and have them shave .030" off the gasket surface (assuming it's stock and hasn't already been shaved, and you'll need to remove the water neck first-just 2 bolts).

 

I love cheap hp, 2 strokes have no competition there...and the basics are all the same. As mentioned, increasing compression, increasing airflow, advancing timing, and lightening reciprocating mass (and any other nonessential crap on the quad) are the way to go, since you already have pipes & filter you can:

 

Shave the head

Advance timing (degree key or slot the stator plate yourself)

Reeds & cages (you can port your stock cages)

Dial in the jetting (jets are cheap)

Polish the exhaust port

Smooth out castings on intake ports (not polished)

Break it in carefully

get rid of: front fenders, rear plastic, front bumper, heel guards, skid plate, parking brake, TORS, brake light, airbox, coolant resevoir, stock handle bars.

I'm sure there's more. that there is some weight. I've taken all that crap off.
