Howdy, i have an 83 XT 550 and love it but id like to squeeze more
power out of it. According to bikez.com (maybe not that reliable) it
makes 38hp at 8.5:1 compression. So i was thinking of bumping up the
compression and changing the cams. Any thoughts on this or other
ideas?? Where can i get parts?

much appreciation, drew

Drew,
Have you replaced the stock muffler? I have been looking for 1 that will
work on our XT, but no luck.
Mike

Waste of time
Use it as is or buy something newer
