Well, this past weekend I went out to Sand Mountain in Ft. Meade, FL. It's a private facility with TT, PeeWee, and MX tracks, as well as a makeshift sandy 300 ft. drag strip. Well, with my 250R almost bone stock...only mods being FMF fatty w/ turbine core silencer, Uni OEM replacement filter w/o airbox lid, ESR cool head w/ 23cc dome (175 psi), Keihin 38mm A/S carb, CR250 reed cage, and external rezzie Elka's up front. Everything else is BONE stock.....stock Ohtsu tires, stock gearing, ect. ect. STOCK PORTING, 66.5mm piston.
No one had paddles since this place isn't all sand, just the little 300 ft dragstrip that they set up was sugar sand. This is what I raced, and how much I won by, or lost by......
06 LT450R (uncorked stock pipe, no airbox lid, Yoshi cherry bomb). I grabbed holeshot, lost by 1/2 bike at 300 ft.
06 TRX450R w/ HRC kit. Jumped him by a foot or so out of the hole, lost by 1 bike at 300 ft.
06 TRX450R, bone stock. Jumped him by 1 bike length, held it all 300 ft. Inexperienced rider though.
05 YFZ 450 (Dr. D pipe, open airbox w/ K&N, jetted, -4 trailtech flywheel, cam mod) Even out of the hole, lost by 1-1.25 lenghts. This was the only bike to put any distance between my front tires and his rear tires.
04 Z400 (pipe, K&N, no lid, jetted) Jumped out 1.5-2 lenghts immediatley, kept around 2-2.5 lenghts by 300 ft.
I started in 2nd gear on all races, and made it to 4th gear by 300ft. All big bore 450s would pull on me up high, but weren't as strong out of the hole. All in all, I am massively impressed......I cannot believe how well my little stock 250R performed. :muscle:
What I find very entertaining is that I used to have a ESR TRX5 pipe w/ the same turbine core 2 silencer, along with the stock head (170 psi)...otherwise identical to my current combo......I got spanked repeatedly by a bolt-on 660 Raptor.....something that shouldn't have happened. Ever since the FMF pipe went on, the powerband feels better....just a longer spread of power.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. LONG LIVE OUR 250Rs!!
(BTW, I picked up two utility quads and needed to sell one of my sport quads.......the YFZ is what I decided to sell, and I'm 1000% satisfied with that decision.)
:D
