suspension:
with whatever type of riding you do this factors in on how the quad should handle, my type is mx or motocross, so it needs to be wider who better to go with than walsh

The rear end is so important axle ,brakes ,hubs

rpm axle

and the 250r brakes

[diangelo#67]

hubs to make the wheels spin faster I chose the hardcore engineering 400ex hubs

they rock!
I also got there awesome brake rotors for all 3 corners
they are an excellent addition to the already great set-up

[diangelo#67]

if you ask me the mad designs inc. quick change clutch cover is the best mod

to push people out of the way I use an AC stadium bumper
it shows your race number the best

and you can't forget those hipers
you cant believe how much difference that a set of rims can make.
well guys their is more I will get them up soon...

[diangelo#67]

yes ralph I do ,

[diangelo#67]

there is a gear behind the clutch basket that drives the oil pump,

make sure you check that, I have to take my bike to andy L @ dirt first on sat.

[diangelo#67]

the sub frame where it bends to let the exhaust though keep an eye on that because that tends to bend causing the seat to not latch properly and could cause breakage:mad:

[diangelo#67]

guys there are lots of others I will post them later

[Ralph]

I got a question about the things you said about the hubs,

If the hubs are made to "Spin" faster what would that actually achive? The front does not pull the quad so what does it really achive?

Im not critizing what you said i truthfully dont get the point of aftermarket hubs, ive never seen stock ones crack. :ermm: :confused:

[MY450R]

good post
nice z by the way

[diangelo#67]

i've actually seen this happen the craking hubs thing. but I know the front wheels dont pull the quad:chinese: when I said spin faster I ment like less resistense:devil: see

[gyt-r450]

somebody's trying to get there post count to go ^

[sportraxkid]

How come he spent all his time trying to show you guys something and all you do is ***** about it. Thank you for the info and that first pic is SICK!!

Would you rather have extremely light hubs with less resistance...or weld 50lb weights to your front end? Less weight=more power actually being useable, not used to push the heavy *** front end:D .

[diangelo#67]

for the guys who run there stock plastics and can't keep that front end from shaking without the head light, I took two peices of metal 1/8" thickness
6" long. put a 90degree bend in the metal 1 1/2" high this adds great support for the front plastic you can also add holes in thew plastic to firmly support the front end.

[diangelo#67]

for those of you running a stock carb with a jet kit and can't understand why it just dosn't seem to make that much power invest in a fcr carb it is the best thing to top off any performance motor mod

[diangelo#67]

guy's that cant figure out why their carb keeps pop'n out after a big jump and your clamps are super tight. take two zip ties and go around the carb from the back to the top motor mount , this adds a little security to keep the carb from pulling out of the motor side clamp. pics on this mod will come later.

[diangelo#67]

Thanks for sharing that with us, NICE looking Z

I like the pictures, and the gussets are real informative, but racing secret??? your just telling people to buy parts.:huh

[diangelo#67]
