Got my 450 last night!!!!

[duke416ex]

Went and picked it up, don't have a good pic, but here is list of mods, I will try to get a pic soon:
all three elkas and linkage
prm skids, bumper and grab bar,
ac propegs
tag bars and cyrca handguards,
baja wheels
denton stabilizer
white bros exhaust
ims tank
dp graphics
rekluse clutch

It's got a few more odd and end things, but I'm not going to bore ya'll. I think I will be happy with it. It's an 04 with 4 year warranty, but I want an hrc kit, anyone know a cheap place to get it installed?

[roostin_dale]

sounds like a nice bike man...how much did you get her for?

[duke416ex]

I got close to 6500 in it after going to get it and everything else. I got the stock parts with it and a few other things. I got a brand new rekluse in the box that I am probably going to sell. I will probably change a few things on the bike, but I think it will go good.

Congrats , now you can be Duke450r

[duke416ex]

Lol, yea, I need to look into changing that.

How do you like the power compared to the 416ex?

[JRP]

congrats man on the quad. its the best out there.

[duke416ex]

Well, my bro has had two of them, as far as power compared to them, when my 400 is in the rpms there isn't much difference, the 450 is a little stouter but not a whole lot. Where I can tell a big difference on the 450 is throttle response and just climbing in rpms. The 400 is a lot slower about going through gears and the 450 can really rev quick and that helps it to pull hard on the 400.

Now as far as mine, I can't tell you cause I didn't have time to adjust the dange rekluse last night and it is slipping bad, I would compare it to a polaris sportsman righ tnow. It won't even spin around, the clutch just slips. So when I get that fixed I'll tell you, hopefully tomorrow. It sucks getting a new quad and not being able to ride it.:mad:

[450ss]

you are gonna be adjusting that rekluse for ever those things are hard as hell to adjust

[duke416ex]

That's not what I wanted to hear. Oh well, maybe if I get it right it will be worth having. Every racer i have talked to with them loves em so hopefully mine is just out of adjustment.

[duke416ex]

I found a pic the guy had posted on another site, it doesn't have the elkas or the rear grab bar on it in this pic, but you can get the point.

If the rekluse is slipping REAL bad, you may want to change out one or 2 clutch discs to the thicker ones that come with the rekluse. Get a couple feeler guages and check the clearance. I installed mine per the directions from rekluse but because my stock plates had a little wear in them, I needed to swap a couple discs to get it in spec. Doesn't take that long to swap them.
Congrads on the new quad!:macho

TAKE THOSE HANDGUARDS OFF. neways it sounds and looks like a killer r

[duke416ex]

Thanks guys, it's got cyrca handguards under those, but I am going to keep them around for the winter races, they will make a big difference i nthose cold and wet races.

I check ed clearance on my clutch last night. I am going to put a couple new fibers and a couple stock steels back in it. I want it as close to 30 as possible.
