Son is liking the 25 after I loaded the keefer map and went to a 51t in the rear.

 I think it turns much better then our 24. 24 always seems to push the front and rear on me, 25 tracks much better I think.

I thought I hated the 24 air box/filter design, the 25 filter design is just as dumb is its own way.

 In the process of getting him his graphics done. Was nice at least his front plate transferred over

Anyone running a TD or XPR mapped Vortex, PC exhaust and airbox mod? Curious how it compares over the stock setup.

I have a PC Pipe, Vortex Mapped by Twisted and Twin Air intake. It is considerably better than stock.

Where are you feeling the extra power? Personally I’m feeling it in the upper rpm range, pulling farther than it used to.

Mainly in the upper RPM range as well. It’s a little better on the bottom but much more noticeable on top

Anyone upgrade their foot peg mounts? Son somehow broke the left side one. No hard wrecks and he weights 115 lbs…. Was putting on a skid plate for him and noticed it was broken. 
Looking to buy a used stock one some one has laying around before paying $100 for a new one one.

Go to a dealer and see if the X model (250 or 450) has steel mounts. If so those might be stronger but you will probably want to cut off the kick stand mount on the left side.

Check Applegate MX parts on Facebook. He has a bunch of take-off OEM parts.
