Not sure if I can help as I have never owned, or worked on one of these ATVs.
What is your question>?

[SouthpawYamaheezee]

well i have read about the baffle in the exhaust and its removal. would that actually give it a little more power by removing it?

Deffinetely, will throw off your jetting though. Might just be able to get by without rejetting with messing with your air/fuel screw

As was mentioned, you can probably get a fair amount more power by doing this as long as you re-jet the carb.

Something else to think about, is moving up to an LT80. They are relatively inexpensive to get a decent used one, and sometimes you can also find them with upgrades already done! That is the route I think I would go if I were in your shoes.

Sell off the 50cc and get a used 80 for a few $$ more.

JMHO.

Best advice he could've given, if your concerned on making anything faster on an lt50 trust me sell the 50 and go buy a used lt80 two stroke. I know for certain my local shop has two of them on the floor right now..the 80 blows away the 50 in everything; parts, info, speed, mod options

[SouthpawYamaheezee]

yeah that day will be coming soon. he's only been riding for about three weeks now, so until i see him full throttle everywhere he goes on it, he's staying on the 50. he has to aquire so respect for motor vehicles before i get him anything faster. right now, i'm gonna let him crash that 50 as many times as possible!

My bad. From your question, I thought you were trying to make it faster.

You can still go with the LT80 and use the throttle limiter.

Something else to think about.

[SouthpawYamaheezee]

no, its cool. that was on my mind, thinking about trying to squeeze as much life outta this little guy as i can before i gotta buy another one. the laws in michigan are weird about atv's for kids. after this four wheeler i will move him over to a dirt bike though, so he can ride with me and mine. all in all, though, the question still remains, can i get a little more hp out this thing if i get rid of the baffle in the exhaust?

Yes, I am sure you can. You will need to rejet the carb though. You may also be able to open up the intake a little.
