headpipes are loud as hell....i ran mine like that for 3 days while waiting for my yoshi to come in...my friend heard me at his house which is right at 5 miles away, and i wasnt even getting on it hard at the time. if it wernt for my neighbors, i would keep it just the headpipe, but my neighbors and i get along right now...and dont want to end that.

i dunno if this is true or not but i heard not to use armor all on the plastics.it dulls them out after awhile.i heard to use wd40.i guess you can use that on everything.
anyone else know anything about this?

400exr1d3rz looks like your handlebars r bent pretty bad what did u do . and does running a headpipe really mess ur jetting up bad just curious but i would assume.

WHEN JUST RUNNING A HEADPIPE, YOURE SOPPOSED TO PUT A LARGER JET IN IT TO GET ANY PREFORMANCE OUTCOME OUT OF IT.

STIC:

I HAVE USED ARMOR ALL ON MY PLASTICS FOR YEARS AND I HAVENT SEEN ANY DULLING BESIDES JUST REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR. WD40 WILL ALSO WORK. IT ALSO HELPS MUD FALL OFF WHILE RIDING. IT CREATES A SLICK SERFACE.

i ride WITH a muffler, it was just off to get my e-series on it.

there not really noticible when your sitting and riding it. i did a wheely up a little slant and hit the grab bar and it fell on top of me. then i was going about 20 in some sand and decided to powerslide, hit a patch of asphalt and highsided, and she rolled twice :(

but other than that the bars are really holding up well, the plastics dont have any sratched from the flips either

nice nice, I picked up some today with starter fluid, and carb cleaner, the only thing I would only use that armor all b4 a race or something. No reason to waste it for a day in the mudd.

Ive been using armor all on my fenders for years and it shines them up great. Only downside i have noticed is that in really dusty conditions the dust seems to really stick to the armor all. But yeh. It will definetely make the fenders look really really nice and almost new.

get a piece of pipe about 4 ft long, stick it over the grip and bent your bars back.:)

i was thinking of doin that, my friend fell on his dirt bike and bent his clutch lever, so i bent it back with a pole

but the bars are gonna be that easy, it doesnt really bother me. i wish i had new bars, but i aint got no money

Yeah, that stuff works well.... been using it on my plastic for like.. 7 years now. Plastic still looks great when all shined up... original plastic, too.

About the bars.. I could probably give you a hand. We need to get together at the spillway or something.:chinese:

did you armor all your seat...b/c if you did the first time you ride will be interesting...lets just say its the opposite effect of a gripper seat...:D

yep its on the seat too, it dont bother me, of coarse im sliding, but that just makes leaning and wheelys easier for me

first time i rode mine after i did the seat i was holding on to my grips from dear life..icoudlnt stay planted on the seat no matter what i did...my friends were all laughing atm e b/c they didnt know why i was doing that, so i let one of them ride it and the first corner he took he fell off...lol:devil:

lol, its alot easier for me to power slide and stuff, instead of me picking my fat *** up and moving it i can just slide, and the most fun part about it is, get one of your friends on the back, go about 6 mph and wheelie, he falls off. leave em'!!!

I put it on my seat all the time, and it wipes off pretty soon. Never had a problem.

nice.. its good stuff, but have u ever used wd-40? it's even shinyer.. and it keeps the thick mud off, spray it under your fenders also.

have any of you used pledge on your fenders? you don;t know shiny and slick until you've tried that. took it to the dunes and it rained and still nothing stuck to it. got home it was still clean

i ahve always used wd-40 intsead of armor all. i heard armor all has alcohol in it and it will eventualy make the plastics brittle :(. and you definetly need some new bars, if you bend it back it will create a weak point where the bars will break off next time you roll it . making your quad into a rolling spear :eek2:. borrow some money from your parents or something , tell them it is a saftey issue and get some $40 protaper 7/8 bars.

i wouldn't use deisal for 2 resons #1 waste of money 2# iam sure that that will dull the plastics. the only resonit would make umm look better is deisal has some oil in it
