Well Well Well....its a 2 stroke!

[Pappy]

Worked on adding all the mods to the new stock Predator we got last week. It went from mild to wild in short order!


Added a pipe, reeds and new intake, new carb and cdi along with some better tires and rims. It now will shred the yard! LMAO!

right now we are just testing the waters. dependability still is #1 in our type of racing. i think a few riders have the set up good enough for me to trust that cody can be there at the end of the race. we will still run the honda depending on track conditions.

all i can say is she rips. cody tore up more yard in 30 seconds then he had in the past month:p tomarrow after we do a few shake down runs, we may head to the track for some more seat time, and race on sunday if all goes well

[450robot]

look at the pics dude! of course he has! what kinda kid with a new quad hasnt?

[Crazy Honda]

No doubt, Pappy is a proud Father...

[Pappy]

Daylight and we were back on fine tuning the new mods.

[Pappy]

we ended up going down to a 115 main and up all the way on the neddle to get some much needed bottom end snap.

[Pappy]

the stock gearing didnt do bad, and we installed the smaller rear sprocket that was supplied. we will end up going 2 teeth over stock in the end i think, it needs jus a bit more speed and she will be right!

[Mxracer53]

this little girl i knows got and man those things are fun i can beat my friend on a 50 with me on the 90 with a broken wrist. lol
those preds are awsome

[300ex_ryda]

yea, those things go like crazy for what they are. I remeber riding one at a grill ride i went to last year for so. Very cool little quads!

[Pappy]

we werent to impressed in stock form. for my 7 year old it was perfect, but for cody it got real boring real fast.

the modifacations we added woke it right up. he still has to get used to riding a 2 stroke, and the handling of the predator is different then his honda. we will instal elka suspension and see if it calms down the tendency to 2 wheel.


2 or 4 wheels on the ground, doesnt matter, WFO:D

[bigbadbrad]

just wondering what happened to his honda?

cody looks better and better ever time i see new pics of him riding, he might be going pro when he get older.:devil:

[Bush0102]

pappy, not to take things off subject, but it looks like you've got yourself a really pretty piece of property. I wish i could say the same.

Cody deffinatley knows how to handle a quad. :macho

[Fred55]

Pappy, just a little trick, you can change the top shock mounts as to what hole they are bolted into, that may get you the results for handling as far as the front suspension is concerned.

i was wondering why there were 2 holes.


no we have developed a problem with the clutch i think. we made up a different intake tube to prevent water etc from getting in. when we went out to test it, 1/4 way around the track it bogged down and shut off. it did it several more times and at first i thought it was either debris in a jet or even the rear brakes locked up. it was neither.

in neutral it will run smooth and rev to the stars and not shut off. in gear it will run ok but then the bog hits and it dies out almost like the rear brakes if you tried to stall a regular quad. im pretty sure it is in the clutch, but no idea as of yet:(

[450robot]

pappy, that last pic right there kicks ***! that would make a great poster

i wish i wouldve gotten into quads as much as him when i was younger

[tdsongster]

My son is only 16 months old and he runs around an a little electric quad (he is bored of it now). He is to small for anything else, but come next spring I am going to be looking for a gas quad.

Any advice on which quad?
Any advice on helping him to learn how to ride?

Thanks

the smallest one thats worth considering is the KFX50. it isnt much faster stock then the battery power quads.

as far as the riding, just work with them. concentrate on the basics. make it fun etc. cody learned to ride in a backyard the size of 1/2 of a basketball court on his lt80 and xr50/70. it wasnt until we moved to our new home with land that he started really taking off. he doesnt ride unless im out there with him, i sometimes dont say a word and just watch, then over the course of the next few days we chat about riding etc. i love watching the kids ride....anyones kid! there is so many parents that dont do jack with thier children and this is the perfect way to spend time with them.

[Mxjunkie]

I wanna come down and ride with cody, I might learn a thing or two by the looks of it! lol

[Pappy]

it was completely disassembled after the last GNCC. the frame had cracked near the stem bushing and a bolt fell out of the bottom of the frame/engine that allowed the engine to move breaking the rest of the engine mounts.

it will be repaired and repowdercoated and ready for the next race.

[450robot]

ive always wanted to ask, what kinda camera and lens do you use? ive been wanting to get a good camera for when i go to races, or anywhere else, any reccomedations?

[Pappy]

i use a nikon D100 for digital with an assortment of nikon lenses.

the canon rebel, nikon d70 are both great cameras. anything past that and i have no expierence with

[Pappy]

[Pappy]

i would have prefered he rode his normal 90 for the film, but the predator had to get the job done.

[DH400EX]

thats insane that hes goin to be in a vid. congrats to the both of you, i kno your def. a proud dad.

Post some more pics. Your son is an insane rider, wish i was that good when i was that young, hell i wish i was that good now!:devil:

[Pappy]

i really didnt take to many pics that day of cody.

here dan tapes him as cody hits a double and looks over at the other person filming from a different angle

[Pappy]

cody jumping on the adult track

[Pappy]

they didnt get the wreck on film, which is probably a good thing:p

[Pappy]

we had order some taller gearing but it didnt arrive in time. he had the predator wound tight:p

[Pappy]

it did not take him long on this new quad to start hitting everything on the track. 2 warm up laps and he was tearing it up!
