Just bought my first pilot, its almost allmost completely stock, I want to do some upgrades to the suspension and motor.
Man no offense but you really need a good 3+ months of seat time in it before you should go messing with the suspension...
A stock machine with proper use of the throttle and brakes will corner around like it's on rails...
Front Stock OEM wheels alone will make a night vs day difference in the feel and handling of the machine...
A stock pilot is NOT a whoops machine, Its more of a balls to the wall trail ripping monster....
My 2 cents is that your first changes (if any at all) should be towards the powerplant
Air Flow In and Out, Jetting, New reeds, Carb, Exhaust and Clutching will make a huge difference...
Heck even a new belt can effect the up/down shift of the machine and your over all satisfaction...
Start with one change and work your way up to mild porting...
You can also rebuild the existing shocks (new Oil, Seals, Gas) for a softer ride...
Post up some pictures....
But Please don't go hacking on a clean stock machine before you give it some good seat time
They ain't no quad and most likely unlike anything you've ridden before...
I own/ride quite a few different machines from Full LT Pilots to Drakarts to my mostly stocker and they each excel in completely different areas...
(You'll find me in the stocker 70% of the time)
Good Luck
