Adding 5hp to the thing isn't going to make it fall apart, because realistically at the rear wheels that's about all your going to get out of it. Adding inferior parts may cause problems? But if your factory with quality components I see no issues with that. Your ruin much more on the machine running a lift or big tires then you ever will adding a cam or tuner.

MAC I agree with you here as well, BUt also food for thought
if you modify the atv and something DOES go wrong, you just threw away the factory warranty on a NEW atv, or one still under OEM warranty
and then you have to ask yourself, is GAINING 5 HP, IF That, really worth all the costs to the mods? and possibly reliability change??
I know this is a lot of WHAT IF"S
but the facts are, a HONDA is NOT a big power atv and never will be, and most mods you do, will LOWER reliability, and NOT raise it period
be it 5 hp or More, its altered Honda engineered design of things, that MADE them have the rep they have!
there will always be exceptions to the game, and soem can mod things and run them forever and NOT have an issue, , but so will some add mods and have issue's
Stock is STOCK, Mod is mod
there TOYS< if your honest with yourself
how much risk you wish to take on you have YOUR type of fun, is and will always be YOUR call
just know the risks, is my point here?
