I guess it didn't work, here is a link.

[Thump_It]

neither worked for me

[ml450r]

I'll try this.

[Thump_It]

Wow, nice bike man. That thing looks trick as hell!!

[ml450r]

thanks, It has walsh everything, I have been building since last September. Walsh components take forever to get.

[Thump_It]

Got any pictures from head on? Yeah I've heard that Walsh stuff takes a long time to get, but well worth it.

[ml450r]

Here is one.

[Stealth450r]

did you shave your seat cause it looks it. and a very nice bike.

[ml450r]

Yes on the honda it is hard to get to the rear brake pedal in a left hand corner. So I changed the Seat to footpeg height by shaving the seat some. It is just for mx. Also modified the rear brake pedal to be able to get to it easier. Just put a larger pedal itself on it. Baldwin sells them.

that thing must be fast stickers add like 2 HP a peice... just playing that thing looks great I do have one question why do you have axis stickers and pep shocks?

Because stickers add 2hp ea. PEP stickers are orange and blue.... Used to run axis, had some stickers to use. After the first ride most of the stickers are tore off anyways.

looks nice as hell, i bet it was worth the wait

[HiperEX]

nice how do you like the razr mx tires?

[ml450r]

I actually have ran Holeshot mxr's until now and I haven't even rode this bike yet. I have just started it and ran it on the dyno, no track time yet.

[kazpr]

Ml where did you dyno your bike @? Did you use some peope in KC area for work on it? What kinda power did you have and jetting used?

[ml450r]

Mid america powersports 816-777-1785
Independence Mo
I do all my own work on the motor, 180 main needle 4th clip
K&N, 11.5-1 piston, clean up port on head(done at local honda shop), hmf full system, stage II hot cam
39.95 hp@8000
29.64ft/lbs@5800
Mustang dyno, with factory pro software
on maxxis razr's with 10psi.
Numbers don't sound to good but it runs strong. I am bolting an Nmotion 520 cylinder on the same engine next week to see waht kind of increase in power I can get. That is the only reason I even put it on a dyno.

You would gain about 5 hp using proper dyno tires from what I have been told. So that with flat track tires on it would look pretty good. 45 is about what I would have guessed. Keep us posted on the 520cc kit.

I am not sure about the tires, I have been told not to use knobbies on dyno's, but I don't know what a differnece that should have made. I have also been told that a Dynojet dyno will give you higher numbers, but either way I am just looking to see what the increase will be from 11.5-1 450 to 12-1 520. I am hoping for 7-8hp and the same for the torque, we'll see. I can't change until after Sat, because of the pro quad race at St. louis.

[Ex_Rider43]

[Cody_300ex]

Nice 450 man! :cool:

[450r#221]

Nice job:macho PC looks sweet.I think thats my next project.

[WhiteZee]

I fabricated my own pedal, but I got the idea because I saw a 450r at a track with a large pedal. He said he got it from Baldwin for $80. That's all I know about it. I will let you know how the bike works after this weekend.

[steveatv3]

makes mine look like poo, very nice powder coating, and the seat looks like it will have you some probs for long riding

[Quadude32]

First off nice looking Quad......In your sig. you list that you own a yfz 450 & the trx 450.......What one do you like best? You can tell us we won't Flame ya:D Maybe a pic of both side by side

I am not about to answer that question.... lol


The Honda will outrun my Yfz by about a bike, but the YFZ definately feels faster. I like the way the yamaha transfers weight from front to rear when your are trying to take off, really helps on holeshots. Once you switch the linkage on a honda I think they are better bikes. The honda seems to hide all tis power in it's torque if that makes any since......easier to go faster longer... I think alot of people will switch to the honda now that it is getting figured out. Neither machine is bad though. Both are making this sport alot of fun. I had a TC yz426 LSR hybrid before the YFZ, I would never go back.

[Les Davis]

awesome looking bike!!!! Very nice job!!!

[ml450r]

recent YFZ pic.

[crf500]

merrill, i like that walsh set up pretty cool looking. how do you like that rear end. does that savior linkage help u quite a bit because we ran the maxxis six hour in texas sunday. the 450r we ran just had a Elka and long travel linkage. it seems to still buck and kick around alot. i guess what i'm say'in would it be worth the investment.

thanks for the info later, adam

[ml450r]

It pretty much fixes what you are talking about.

[ml450r]

side by side

[allmixedup047]

hey man whats up. that 450r looks sweet. i thought it looked awsome befor. do you like the pep's better than the axis now? and i know you had the elka in the rear and wernt to impressed with it. did the pep rear make a difference? i hope you dont mind me adding a few pics dan took of you and your brother at h65 mx. i just like seeing the honda out in front!:D

Yes we both agree the PEP works better. The PEP rear shock really helped. The ELKA wouldn't let you adjust the ride height enough. The PEP will. Thanks for the pics, Couldn't find any with me in front though huh..... lol

[sic250x]
