MY dad just got me a FL250 and it kinda seems like a dog. maybe going from a KTM 250 dirt bike to the odyssey could be the problem but still is there any quick or small upgrade i could do to improve the power a little? I was thinking of jetting the carb. and maybe a exhaust?

My dad also said that the FL250 he had seemed faster as well. any help will be great!
Thanks in advance!

What is the going price for the DG? i got $254 from two different local places. Is that around the ball park. I have been reading that EEE makes a exhaust system where could I get a price from or does anyone know?

I just got some new rear wheels and tires. got some DWG .190 with holeshots it is a huge difference rides smoother. Need to save up for some front wheels now. Ill post pix tomorrow.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE HELP!

triple eee is no longer in business. I have one of their pipes though and it works pretty good. Noticed a lot of difference switching from stock.

Nice FL250...

That a "Smokey and the Bandit" Trans Am in the background in the garage? And a 80's Vette in the driveway next to the buggy?

Yea its a 78 T/A with a 467 that's our project, the Vette is a 81 with a 350 vortec, the buggy is a original manx has a little 1500 in it. nothing big or fancy just something to drive around town in.

We also have a 75 Ranchero in there with a 429BB that's another project! LOL
