Hi all, I am new to this forum and am looking for insight. I purchased a 2015 Viking VI EPS SE. She is bone stock with no modifications to date performance wise.
I just installed 1.5" spacers with 14"wheels and 29" Maxxis Bighorns. The upgraded wheels and tires look great on the machine and give her a more aggressive stance.
I am looking to you all for what performance upgrades to make this machine one that I keep for some time and one that I won't get tired of.
I live outside salt lake City, UT and all at 5500' elevation. I do not get crazy with mudding or anything like that but I do ride trails from time to time that get hairy at times. When hunting comes around I ride around 8-9000' elevation.
My family and I use this machine a lot to go everywhere in the community as well. Baseball, softball, the lake, bbq's. So there is plenty of stop and go around the streets.
If there is anything other info needed please don't hesitate to reach out.

Welcome to the forum! You are at the best place possible for performance upgrades on your Viking. JBS Performance makes the best clutch on the market, I would start there, then engine mods can take you up even more, just depends how far you want to go.

The JBS clutch set up is a top notch upgrade that you will not regret in the least. It really woke my bike up and I am running 30’s and haul enough weight in tools and supplies on every ride to sink a battleship. James will get you fixed up and you will be riding with a big smile on your face.

Thank you for the replies! I appreciate it!
Can you tell me about how much it will be for upgrades?
Which clutch kit should I get?
What weight of slugs?
I am ready to order these parts as soon as I can get a price!
Have heard nothing but great things about JBS!

Ditto on the clutch kit. Buddy of mine ran a Viking for years and the clutch kit really woke the machine up. You could tell the difference when watching him climb hills after the clutch went in.
