Looking for my best upgrade for 550xp power

Hello everyone, I am new to the site and somewhat new to riding. I purchased my first atv, 550xp, this spring and put over 375 miles on it so far. I have been very impressed with it's ride and torque, but I am looking to try and get a little bit more hp out of the engine. Is there anything that would make sense to do without doing a complete overhaul?

I use it mainly for working around the property, plowing snow and hauling wood. . . . . But those times I am running it on the trails I feel like I would like a little bit more power. I also make sure i stay in low gear while riding under 20mph as told by my dealership. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Mike

The easiest and cheapest thing is to trade up to an 850XP!
