The LTA50 fresh of the show room floor is extremely docile and slow. Suzuki places a restrictor plate in the exhaust pipe to conform to the myriad of ATV safety standards that abound today. If your child has the proper experience you'll want to remove this plate, unleashing all the ponies the little mill can provide. The following is a simple, step by step pictorial and guide that shows you exactly what you'll see as you make this simple modification


	Start by removing all the plastic. The only tricky part of this step are the snap fasteners at the front of the black cowl. Gently use a small diameter punch to push the center part through. Be careful, you'll need to re-use these fasteners.

Remove the heat shroud fasteners. Three fasteners double to secure the recoil starter mechanism.

Remove the muffler to frame fastener.

Remove the hex head fasteners at the headpipe. Note, the fasteners are tight. Use a quality allen wrench made in the USA. Do not over torque these fasteners on assembly.
