How much $ do you have into your quad?

[400ex28]

Well its that time of the year where everyone well almost everyone rebuilds their quad(s). So how much money have you racked up in yours?

[MotoX3]

to much when i pay the bills....not enough when i get to the track:chinese:

[hardkoratvmxr]

950 dollars and for a kid that is only 15 and works 2 months out of the year and still has to pay 100 dollars a month on payments seems pretty good and it is all stock pretty much

[brian-250]

in the stocker, around $150


in the 452? oh god i dont even wanna think about it:devil:

naw, i bought it prebuilt and gave $5500 for it, and am planning on dumping about $1700 more into to bring it to my specs.:macho :blah:

[TheFontMaster]

so far I got 2000 into the 250r. and I'm probably only about half done.

Word to that! I am very picky on the used stuff i get and the people i get it from.

[flyingbyfast400]

Befor the winter rebuild around 10,000.00 with the price of the 400... once I'm done with the winter rebuild ruff guess... add about onther 4,000 to that so 14,000 give or take... Not so good when I should be saving money for when I start college in Aug.. :eek2:

roughly $2085

i have more then wats in my sig . have wats in my sig. and blue hipers all four and klaws on them all and a new steering stem

[nosliw]

look at the link in my sig

[Rootar]

[400exr]

well probally around $3,000, that's not including the bike price. I'm far from being done too, so my wallet will get dug into deeper this winter.

[Dave400ex]

$6,220! Just in parts/powdercoat. :eek2: Getting ready to buy new Silver plastic as well...

[Allen]

Does everyone pay cash for say 5 grand in aftermarket or do you max your credit cards or maybe just go to the credit union and get a personal loan for 5 grand or so to build your quad?

Always wondered because I sometimes get a few dollars here and there burnin' a hole in my pocket and I go buy something. I bought Elka's for the front and it was about 6 months later before I bought my rear....same for everything else. I see bikes at a GNCC one week and two weeks later at the next race the guy has dropped 3 grand in it...:rolleyes:

in the 13 to 14 grand area. Much cheaper than the old EX was!

[jja125]

[ckasper18]

[awsomeaussies]

I've spent about $2500 in aftermarket stuff for my 400ex... would have been alot more if it wasn't for ebay!:D

[hondarider2006]

[hessianmx111]

about 870 bux just since ive had it, thats not counting all the crap that was on it when i bought it.I paid 2500 dollars for the quad.

[Martin Blair]

about 2000 not include shcoks or any motor work yet

[SRH]

i hate saying a number...ill just say alot...when it gets to a certain point you dont like admitting to people how much cash you have put into a quad

[roostin_dale]

too damn much....

yfz - slighty modded...$7,500 more will be in it by this fall...
250x..lotta mods...scared to add it up....everyone's seen it

i just budget my money, set money aside each week for racing and parts in the winter it builds up faster so i just pay cash when i buy parts, and i always do it about a grand at a time....its somewhat embarassing when you have that much money in 20s...people think your a drug dealer or something

[LT250Racer609]

parts in sig...add up to over 14 grand.....

[underpowered]

Only $2700 including the price of the quad
But i do have to say that the motor work was done when i bought it. all ive done is add the pipe and a new set of azonic fat bars.

I have way too much in my lsr crf450r, paid 9g's for the bike, it cost the guy almost $27,000 to build it, then second time I rode it, got rear ended good bye exhaust and grab bar $600, first day riding in florida, chain blew off after the carrier exploded $4500 for a 03 crf450r dirtbike to steal the motor from, can sell the chassis for $1500 so 3g's, need a new carrier $200, next year rebuild rear shock $200?, guess I'm not that far in at 14,000. my atc250r I lost count, but I know its well over 5g's and I just bought a 310 pv cylinder for it!!! I'm gonna have probably over 6g's into my 03 crf450r when I rebuild the motor and convert it to a dual sport. my atc200x almost 3g's and not done yet. Atleast like some poeple that I know, that amount of money didn't go up my nose,injected in my arm, smoked, etc(a family memeber of mine is a recovering drug addict), that what my mom says.

[ckasper18]

I look at it this way....
1. Sit in bar $100.00 per night
2. DO DRUGS $500.00 TO $1000.00 per week or daily

3. Spend your money on the quad meet friendly people and enjoy life. $PRICELESS

[mx3mom]

In the 250R $16,000.00
YFZ 450 $14,000.00 and still changing things...........

Man I could have bought a new vehicle!:confused:

[Kyle_Racer_31]

I Got About $700

[TheMachine]

I have about 5k in mine. My exhaust cost around 700 and Im about to get a works rear shock and LSR swing arm.

[racerx573]

Well I added up the retail cost of all the aftermarketparts I've bought for my R, and it is $17,485. The original R I bought was $4,000. Very few parts from this are on my R now. The YZ has all the same parts thaat are aftermarket, excluding the engine parts. The 426's retail is definitely well over 20... once you start you can never stop. I'd hate to sit back and add up EVERY part I've ever bought...

oookkkk lets see some pictures thennn!!:p

heres mine in my first race in the beginners class in rosarito beach, mexico.

ive already posted how much money i have in my 400ex, the engine its stock :scary: but i will be makin it 440 at the end of this 05' season.

[beerock]

someone say pics?:devil:

[beerock]

heres the custom cover thats my logo etched in the center:devil:

[Rico]

I put about $800 in mine in the last 6 weeks. A new cam was the only item that didn't have to be replaced in that $800. The other $500+ were spent on things that HAD to be replaced because it was broke or wore out..:ermm:

I"d post the amount I've spent on my quad over the last 4 years but I'm skeert the wife might see it....:uhoh:

[440ex#28]

[ckasper18]

I was getting the front end allignment on the box van (race truck) and they told me it would take an hour so me and one of the mechanics here at the shop walked across the street to a ford dealership to look at new race trucks.Then we went to look at this very nice red mustang and as we were looking at it a salesmen came over and asked if we needed help so i started asking questions about the pricws of the box vans and we went inside and got some info on them.My friend matt our mechanic drives a ford lightning and was real interested in the mustang so after killing an hour he signed up to win a car i said it was a scam but signed up any ways.2 months later Ford Motor Company called me and asked when i was going to pick up my car.I had to pay sales tax registration and document fees of $1605.44 .Its very nice car i had for two weeks and have 96 miles on it.Just sitting in the garage
