They also have big sand dunes to ride & 450 acres of trails in the woods & a practice motor cross track, & flat track. While the drag racing is going on they also have mud bog holes & float ponds for 4x 4's! I heard they will have the atv Dyno over there again. Also on hand FOR SALE will be Nitrous, C-12 race gas, Methanol, & Nitrogen for those marvin shaws! Hope to see ya there. Their web address is www.atvdirtbikerecreation.com/
The ph. #'s are 318-389-4450 or 318-729-1539. E-MAIL is choosetolose@yahoo.com :cool:

[CHEVYZ]

Yup! We will be out there no questions. Bayou Boy from the site plans on attending as well... plus I have some friends that I am gonna drag on out haha. I take it you will be there? We should all be participating in the 450 bolt on class, unless I finish my 05, then I will be running in different class/s as well.

If I have the 450r done, we are gonna try and get it dynoed, too, if they are out there! Definately gonna need to pick up some gas out there as well. Cannot wait. Anyone else plan to attend?

[bayou boy]

i am bringing the recon out there. should do well against the competition

[CHEVYZ]

Haha, put nitrous on it.:devil:

I don't think you had come last time, did you? There was a blue utility bike running with some pretty bad 400EX abd mild 450s.

[bayou boy]

no i was in brazil....but we will be there this time

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I might go to this, my friend said I can use his paddles so I guess thats a plus. How far is it from New Orleans?

[CHEVYZ]

Takes us about 4 hrs. or so, and we are around 30 minutes away from New Orleans... I would say about 4 1/2 hour drive. It is worth it, though. Calsh of the Titans is an awesome event. CP Customs is rumored to be bringing out twin cylinder Sabertooth. Like 1200ccs including the kit and other work. Like 250+ HP easily. :eek2:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Do you have any pictures from Sicily Island? What are the rules? Is it just a drag?

[CHEVYZ]

Web site mentioned in the first post has pictures and info. Not just a drag area. They have a sand area, they have hills, a track, trails... a little bit of everything. Gonna be a drag racing event, though.. lots of people.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Is it a good idea to bring both paddles AND my razrs?

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, definately. In fact, I run dirt tires more than sand tires out there.... then again, that depends on how much you will be in the sand box. The sand area isn't huge out there.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Hopefully i'll be able to make it out there, if my dad isn't hunting. He'll drive 3800 miles to colorado to hunt but he won't drive 400 miles to bring me to ride. But we'll see, hunting is my dads life he hates missing trips to hunt, he's hunting every weekend, all around the country. Hopefully he'll make an exception and bring me to Clash of the Titans.

[CHEVYZ]

Bring me his hunting equipment and I will bring it out to Sicily. If he wants it, he will come. ;)

Me too, I want a truck, something small, maybe a S-10 at first. But I want a GSXR-750 so bad. I sat on my friends Hayabusa and got to rev it up a bit, it's the greatest feeling ever.

[CHEVYZ]

Hehehe get the GSX-R 1000. Let's see what number that is on my "To Get" list.....:devil:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Then don't wreck :p

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Some ******* ran into my beloved Taco-Bell a few months ago on his motorcycle (cbr600 i think), lost fingers, foot was in the ceiling, helmet just disigrated, brain was splattered on the ground, ehh, my uncle is a cop he got to see it, and my friend is a fireman, he got to see it also.

Now I can't go to Taco-Bell anymore.

But looky here what I got. Im not sure what it is, but it looks cool.

Since this thread is off topic AGAIN:p I will tell you guys this...

I just put on my White Bros and WOW that thing rips... and I still need to rejet:eek2:

I only roded for like 200 feet then I parked it because it kept popping... POP:blah:

Next time I get an exhaust I'm defiantly getting another White Brothers. :macho
Will get pics...

[CHEVYZ]

You are JUST getting exhaust for that thing?

Will I hurt my YFZ if I ride it with out rejetting? (As of right now)

[CHEVYZ]

Probably not the best idea, but I doubt you would do much damage. If you are running too lean, then yes, you could very well harm your engine. Personally, I would wait just to be safe. Besides, who wants to ride something that runs so crappy?

Have you tried any other exhaust systems to compare yet? Just wondering how you like it compared to others... and yes, I know you like it in general LOL. I have a buddy running Sparks on his and another with Yoshi. Each have their own strong points.

I really didnt get to test it out... When I rejet this weekend and test it out, I will let you know its strong and weak points. (If it's not raining)

Nope, this is the only exhaust system I tried on a YFZ, so I cant compare pipe to pipe yet.

And yeah I think I'm going to let the YFZ set to I rejet.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I wanna ride, anyone going to the spillway tommorow? I'm going with a few people.

I'll be "breaking" my stuff in, so it won't be too hard to find me. I'll be a with a Polaris Predator 500, WB e-series pipe (LOUD!), a white/black/red yamaha warrior, holeshot rear tires grey wheels and HMF pipe. and a few utilities.


Im not gonna break my bike in the way the manuel says, im just gonna ride it hard, normally how i ride it. Do you think I would beat my friends predator? Hes a good rider but i have a fresh motor.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

My bike is complete, runs perfect, louder and has a ****load of torque and gets to top speed easily.

[bayou boy]

Eu nao poderei fazer porque retornarei para o Brasil neste dia.....Talvez no proximo ano....:( :(

[CHEVYZ]

Ummm... run that one by me one more time. :p

[CHEVYZ]

Man, talk about bull****. I cannot find anyone with either Sparks or DASA in stock or ready to ship quickly. I think exhaust is gonna be a must for the 05 is we are gonna bring it out LOL. If I cannot find a gasket kit ready to ship, that is going to suck, too. At least I can run one set-up either way with that, though. At this point I mainly need exhaust and paddles. I am bringing it out as a sleeper for the most part. I am not doing any of the looks until afterwards... when we will strip it down again to me it all perty haha.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

My idle cable popped. How do I turn the idle up without using the knob of the left side (from seated position)

[CHEVYZ]

Can't help with that one.

Where were you guys? I was bord with no one to talk to... haha:p

Well I just talk to one of my friends that I havent seen in like 2-3 years... He has a 1982 200cc two stoke Kawasaki Dirt Bike, and he wants to race me with my YFZ:blah:
Who you think will win? 1/2 mile straight away
'oh his bike is stock, accept for suspension.
Mine has WB exhaust:chinese:

Do you guys have a Race Mail profile? Ifso add me to friends
Here (racemail.net/Quad_King)

[CHEVYZ]

Nah, don't have one yet. I don't have a myspace or anything.. too lazy.

On any note, if you don't wax that dudes *** I am gonna come over there and kick yours. My 450r destroys newer model 250 dirtbikes in my area.. in fields, on the street, levee, you name it.

Yeah, if I don't kick that dudes a**, I'm going to take out the 125 haha J/K:macho

I wish I could afford a 250 two stoke dirt bike:scary: I love dirt bikes. The 125 doesnt have alot of power:( but it has top speed, maybe around 70 MPH. But I love 125s, just something to play on.

[CHEVYZ]

Aww man, that blows. Tell them you gotta leave early... something about explosive diarrhea. Saw it on a movie once lol.

I don't have the HMF anymore either, though. I sold it to get a new exhaust system.

bayou boy
I was just joking about that last post I made, so no hard feelings:blah:

[bayou boy]

no hard feeling here...i was playing around too any body that knows me knows i talk alot of smack....all in fun..i am leaving tomorrow to go home but am leaving sun the 15th to come back. i wanted to go but would be to rushed to return home sat to pack so we decided not to go...i have 10 days off so i will prolly ride alot during the week.....lol i guess i better edit the other post:devil: spend a year in another country you cant help but pick up the lingo

Why do you go back and forth to Brazil? Business?
'Oh I talk alot of sqeezit too:blah:

[bayou boy]

my company opened a division down here so they send us here as technical advisors...it is a great place i have gotten used to it and love it here the people are great but its not home. speak a decent amount of portugese from being here....i am thinking this would be a great place to retire

[CHEVYZ]

Oh. Got ya. In that case... at least come out there during the end of the week *cough cough* Thusday and Friday *cough cough*. :blah:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I got my idle up a decent RPM. But it's still a little bit choppy.

Timmy, what size jets do you have? We have a similiar setup i think.

[CHEVYZ]

10 paddle 21x12x8 Extremes in the mail. Gonne try to stretch them to make them even taller, too, and I am gonna try between stock and 1 tooth lower on the gearing (Front). Cannot wait! Exhaust is being ordered tonight. I was supposed to do it two days ago, but I have been so torn since I cannot find what I really want.

Oh' I forgot to tell you guys that I didn't rejet my quad, I just took my air box lid of and it runs perfect:p

So far I found out that the WB has great low end power and great mid end power!
I haven't test the top end yet but soon!

I just fueled up both of my bikes for the race:devil:
But it looks like it's going to rain:(

[CHEVYZ]

Looks like I may have found a place where I can pick up a DASA system. Cannot wait to order it. I have heard nothing but the best about DASA.

I never heard of DASA:scary: Or maybe I'm just over thinking it.
Have any pics/link of the system you might get?

I didn't get to race:( He some how broke his exhaust in half:eek2: I bet he broke the exhaust on purpose so he wouldnt have to race me:D j/k

[CHEVYZ]

LOL.. there is an entire mini-forum entitled DASA for their products on the site. Anyway, I ordered a system. Unfotunately I have a bunch of bull**** I know have to go though because Paypal "Snuck" up the wrong trasfer (From bank rather than credit card... bank account might as well not exist LOL). It is all good though, I will just stop by tomorrow and put some cash in.

Here is a pic of it. After the Clash, when I will break down the bike to put the big engine on (This time I am going with a Sparks engine, my Nmotion is on steroids compared to the Sparks and will be in it after the clash), I am gonna get the exhaust done up in a really nice finish.

.....and two dyno charts vs. some well know top performers. The only pipe I have seen to match has been Sparks, and I cannot pull up the sheet off of my computer....

He didn't want none of that Yamaha. :blah:

haha I think he over reacted about his exhaust...
I went down to his house and I seen him in his shed taking his exhaust off and I said where is it cracked in half at? and he said it's cracked here by the head, so I looked and it was maybe a penny size crack, so I went back to my house and got some JB weld and I put that in the crack. Let the JB weld harden for about 20 minutes and he tested the exhaust out, and what you know!!!

It's good as new:blah:

So by that time I was eiger to get on a bike again so I grabbed my 125 and whopped the piss out of him:devil:
SO I know my YFZ would take him.


Nice pick on the exhuast

[CHEVYZ]

Man are we getting OT again.. but who cares, for me its all for the Clash anyway. :blah:

Yeah, just finished lowering the bike. Only costed me a few bucks and it looks AWESOME (Plus it is built strong, aircraft aluminum... stronger than steel). Cannot wait to put it to the real test in Sicily. Only problem is that when you sit on the bike, the rear is really low, so it will be nice to see if I will need to do anything for those tires to keep out of the way.

[CHEVYZ]

dirtfiend27 on ebay is officially THE best seller... ever. The guy sent me responses back to questions in a matter of minutes... on top of that, I sent him the payment today (Late in the afternoon) and it was shipped today. Amazing!

cool

what did you buy?

off topic: Chevyz where do you work at?

haha sorry if i'm being nosy:p

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Originally posted by Quad_King

DASA!!! Maybe?

Send pics. CHEVYS, when you lower your quad, do you use a lowering kit AND drag suspension, or just the lowering kit?

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, it was the DASA exhaust that I got from him. As for the lowering kit, the bike is slammed, but I still have suspention.

[CHEVYZ]

I work on houses all around here that a local doctor owns. Nothing in particular. I get a call asking if I want to work, and they bring me out and tell me what to do. My dad works at a steel mill as a welder/mechanic type thing. He does pretty much everything, though.

[bayou boy]

home sweet home...lol. we talked about going there thurs morning and coming home the sat. nite. but it is not going to work out. we may go to sand hill this sunday to play around....quad king...i think you would need to fatten up your main a lil bit esp. after removing the lid. probably need to raise the needle 1 notch also. especially with it cooling off i always fatten up my jetting when it starts to cool off.....ryan i run a 178 main in the winter and a 172 in the summer....my set up is different i have a full port and fcr. I had a 165 when i had it dynoed and it was wayyyyyy lean. try a 172 if it feels lazy go down 1.

[CHEVYZ]

Timmy, you suck LOL. Sucks that you have to leave again so soon. I think that you would have had a great time out there. Glad that you got home safe, though. And I agree about your YFZ, Quad King. That one puzzled me.

[CHEVYZ]

Some pics of the bike. I will have more when the bike is all cLeaned up and ready to Clash!

And no, the pics don't do it justice. It looks mean as hell!

looks like you getting some wear on the back tires...lol i know we would have had a great time out there but i will be spending about 90% of my time down there till january it looks like. maybe the spring jamboree i will be home. kind of sucks because i stayed down there 6 weeks so i would be home for it but it wont work out with my return date

Yeah I am going to rejet, just not "right now"
sorry I should of posted that:blah:
CHEVYZ your R looks sweet...
Oh your house looks just like my grannys:blah:

[CHEVYZ]

Thanks, and LMAO about my house. My house was built in the stone ages and we just red-did it... so it probably does. :p

CHEVYZ check ur PM's:muscle: :muscle:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I wanted to ride so bad yesterday, I took a few laps around my backyard and I got a bit too happy and dug up the grass, lots of it. My mom yelled at me.

[CHEVYZ]

New engine is already in! Only took a few hours to take it apart, clean it, install the new engine, and have all of the engine componets back together. :)


UPDATE: Dasa exhaust will be here Tuesday, paddles will be here Wednesday. Yay! We WILL be ready for the clash!

On that note, the clutch in this engine is awesome! I have no doubts that it will be able to handle anything and everything we throw at it. :eek2:

[CHEVYZ]

well I just flipped my YFZ and broke my tie rod boot:macho
always wear you helmet :o

Oh my god, are you joking??!?!?! ugh, you won't be riding my quad :blah: . How did you flip? wHY WERENT YOU WEARING A HELMET? :blah:

Well CHEVYS, I just spent 1 1/2 hours cleaning my chain with a toothbrush, and wow, it looks super great, well from what it used to look like. I see some silver so thats a good sign. I put it my quad on a cinder block and then put it in gear and let it just idle. I put the tooth brush on my wheels, outside and inside, on the hubs too. When I cleaned the hubs then washed them off I pointed the hose to where the hub and the axle meet and mud SHOT out, kinda funny-like. Well it works for me, thanks for giving me that idea. Timmy, thanks for telling me what to do about my idle situation, without that i would have been have to clean my chain! (read above)

haha...
well I was doing donuts in like 3rd or 4th gear in my back yard and some how my tie rod boot broke in half and I got sent flying over the handle bars doing a front flip while the yammi is coming my way while tembeling up side down and stoped 3 inchs from my head:macho

I think I must of put the tie rods on wrong.:(

And the reason I didnt have my helmet on is, I'm stupid:p J/K

We need to weld a helmet to your head. Not to sure how that would work but it's well worth a try. :blah:

Look out Timmy :devil: Yes that is tape, in case i ever wanted to take it off. And yes I made it with liquid paper. :blah:

AND MY EXHAUST HAS A CRACK ON THE MOUNT!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :grr: :grr: :mad:

[CHEVYZ]

I saw a bad arse YFZ a few days back that had "Gotcha B*tch" written on the airbox. Kinda reminded me of Bayou Boy's 400.

Quad King... well, it broke because it is a Yamaha. :blah: Sorry to hear that.

Went down to Honda and got the 13T sprocket and a can of red paint (Along with a couple other things). They didn't have the exact color I wanted, but whatever works. Painting the covers right now. Oh... and got something new to rep for Honda!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Damnit CHEVYS, now im mad because I should have written something of my own.:devil:

[CHEVYZ]

It's gonna be hard to make out because my camera was all off on the lighting and then ran out of battery before I snapped a better shot. It's all good though... reppin' for Honda out at the Clash!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I having second thoughts about that sparks pipe, I can't decide between HMF Sparks or Yoshimura.

[CHEVYZ]

Yoshi sucks IMO. I would never buy Yoshi for my bike. HMF is a great pipe, but so is Sparks. The Sparks exhaust makes more power than the HMF. Both sound great and hold up well... the HMFs are put together rock solid, though.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I need dyno sheets!

[CHEVYZ]

Let me go see if I can pull some out of a magazine I have. Same bike with just about every exhaust system for the 400EX.... good dyno testing.

I just went and looked up to find the color that matches the paint I am using on the quad for the time being. It is sparkle red. It looks super glossy!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Nice choice on the color, sparkle red kicks ***! Although I prefer granny smith green, wihte black or white plastics. But I bet it'll kickass!!!!

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, I like it... for now. Once I tear into her again I will most likely change the color scheme again.

:uhoh:

[CHEVYZ]

What?

I said that's a nice damn pick on the color:D

Nah I made that smiley on my last post because you said my tie rod end broke because it's a Yamaha... Yeah I know Yamaha parts break easily... I don't care because I know that Yamaha engines are rock solid and I want have a engine breaking down on me everyday! What will you rather have break on your quad, a $50 part or a $3000 part?

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j117/Quad_King/YFZ003-2.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j117/Quad_King/YFZ002-2.jpg

Oh, haha. I don't know about Yamaha engines being rock solid... some models, yeah, others are questionable just like every brand out there. Hehe, my Honda is a tough mofo, though. I sand dragged it all night long with no oil in the engine and it never gave me problems. In fact, it was later on the next morning when I noticed the problem. I was just messing with you, though. Me and my buddy with the YFZ go back and forth all the time. In the end, we would ride either one given the choice.... in fact, he is the guy with the Sabertooth 250r. :D

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I'm leaning towards yoshimura, this is a really hard decision.

I was going to get yoshi for my YFZ but I got the WB...

Why not get the sparks? That way you know you will have a good exhaust.

CHEVYZ I think my next quad is going to be a 450R:macho

[CHEVYZ]

Originally posted by 400eXr1d3rZ

Quad King, I have been back and forth over the Honda and Yamaha forever LOL. I came soo close to getting one, but in the end I am glad I stuck with Honda. Yamaha engines are just so much more damn complicated.... plus I would have to get different wheels, and all kinds of crap.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I can't stick with the e-series, for one, it's a peice of ****!, and now the mount is starting to crack. Probably the next jump i hit it's gonna break.

I think I should just do this, tell myself im doing with sparks, even though I want Yoshimura. I'll come to love Sparks.

Before I purchased my YFZ I couldnt make my damn mind up... Honda or Yamaha... The true reason I got the YFZ because of the electric start... and the way the YFZ looks :devil:
Hell I even thought about buying a Z400:D lol
But I love my YFZ...

If you like yoshi, get the yoshi... I like them

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I hate Yoshi what are you talking about? :devil:

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, I mean, if you like them, then get it, but I am just telling you my honest opinion on it. No exhaust system for the 400EX surpasses Sparks in performance.

I wanna ride I wanna ride I wanna ride:(

[bayou boy]

get the hmf...bulletproof and torquey...i am sold on it...anyone can make a ride tomorrow at the spillway?? should be nice with no one there...a few am hours of hard riding with no idiots on the trails...life is good:D

haha
Did you have a nice trip?

Well I got my new Tie rod end on... Its hell to take the old one off but it's easy to put the new end back on:ermm:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I did some polishing today, didn't work out too well thought, but my levers are shiny.

[CHEVYZ]

What did you try to polish?

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Oil Filter cover, the cover on the left side of the motor (stator i think) that connects to the starter, and levers.

[CHEVYZ]

Oh, yeah, those are a b*tch if you don't take them off the bike and take your time. The covers have to have the paint sanded off and then gradually taken through finer grades until it polishes out.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Some pics of the polish and cleaned chain:

Thanks, hell yeah, all the time, but i'm too young :(

[CHEVYZ]

I DO race my quads LOL.

Got the DASA exhaust today... will post pics of it tomorrow. This pipe is absolutely amazing. The craftsmanship on it... its just great. It sounds awesome as well. It has a really nice throaty roar to it. It isn't too loud at an idle, put you will hear it when you hit the throttle. The overall feel of the pipe is far superior to anything I have ridden so far. Like I said, it is just amazing!

The bike feels amazing overall. I am guessing it would be compliments of the DASA exhaust as well, but this thing pulls HARD all the way through... from bottom to top. Times more than my other bikes! Even low like it is, cruising down the street in 4th gear I blipped the throttle just a bit and the bike rose up like I was punched in first... it pulls sooo hard! It goes through the gears faster than we can handle LOL. Plus being all low, the handling is great on it. You can just power through the turns.

We haven't gotten a chance to test it against anything else yet, but we can already tell it is gonna run! Looked cool as hell at night rolling with the little lights on my lugs. It will look trick as hell when it gets pitch black at Sicily!

Do they make DASA exhaust for a YFZ?

[CHEVYZ]

Well, depending on where you are at and what you want to run, you can run damn near anything. Of course, drag racing... but aside from that, you can run alot of different classes. Alot of the times they will let you run even if you are under age by their "Qualifications"... hell, they say you are supposed to be 16+ to race at State Capitol ( Place sucks), but there are kids around 12 racing drag Banshees.

If Holeshot Raceway hadn't changed owners, you could have raced MX for sure. They WERE building a quad track, but under new ownership, the new owner is only interested in buiding up the bike track.

[CHEVYZ]

Do they make DASA exhaust for a YFZ? I drag race at a few local events. Aside from that, I often go down to Holeshot with my buddy and we race dirtbikes. I was gonna race MX there with my quad... maybe we can find a different track now. Haven't had a chance to since his KTM broke down. I have been thinking about trying a few different kinds of riding lately. One of the locals in my area has a TT 450r. I may go and check out one of his races one day.

I don't think that DASA makes exhaust for the YFZ, but I am not 100%. The exhaust is just wicked, I love it. Nothing except top quality from DASA! Don't feel bad if they don't. They don't make it for the old EX either.

[CHEVYZ]

Yay! Tires are here how! These things are huge... we are not gonna have a problem with traction.:p

No pics yet, though. I actually took some, but it was too dark already to show on my camera. Tomorrow, though......

[400eXr1d3rZ]

What kind of tires are they again? Haulers?

[CHEVYZ]

Yup. 21x12x8, 10 paddle extremes.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Holy ****, isn't that a bit of overpaddling? What motor work do you have?

[CHEVYZ]

Hehehe... I have... enough. Especially with my big set-up. :eek2:
It is gonna be one hell of a ride with the stock swinger though!

After I get back I will post how she does in the sand. Leaving early Friday morning. After feeling it out, I am not doubting the ability to push these paddles around. :D

[400eXr1d3rZ]

If you have in your motor what I think you have then stock swinger will suck! :D

You're gonna have to sit on the handlebars!

[CHEVYZ]

Basically. I am gonna sit on the tank and just let her rip down the track. With the lowered gearing I MAY still have the abailty to launch in second... doubt I will, but it may be possible.

Last clash a guy with no wheelie bar or anything on a Banshee almost won. It was awesome because the guy would literelly wheelie from start to finsh. Boy did the crowd cheer when he got to the other end!

Oh, and as extra... these covers look wicked! I am very happy with how they turned out!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Hopefully 10 paddle extremes isn't too much. Are you bringing the 440?

Make sure you send pics of ur shovel.:p

and 10 paddles:eek2:
If you really want a drag quad you should sell your 450 and buy a used rappy 700;) JMO

[CHEVYZ]

I was actually gonna buy a Raptor 700 at one time, but decided not to. The 450 is already here, much easier to mod, and is just as potent, just runs a different class. I have already seen modded 450s outrun big bore DSs and Raptors. The possibilities with ANY of these new school bikes is endless! A really big downfall to me about the Raptor 700 is that it crumbles in an accident. I raced a guy one day that ended up flipping his quad (In the dirt) and totally trashed the bike. The same day another guy told me that his buddy literally damn near ripped the entire front end off his quad in a "Small" accident. With that said, my 450 has taken some serious spills and kept on ticking! Aside from that, it is not gonna be a strict drag bike. In fact, I am gonna do all of the suspention and whatnot and make it a duner! One of my buddies lives in California and wants us to make a ride out there to hit up a couple of spots one day, so as of now that is my dream trip for it.

Only bringing the 450s this time around though. If the 10 paddles is a little much this time around, I have no worries because right after I am putting my big setup on. I SERIOUSLY doubt it will be though. We don't run long enough distances to see any top end affects.

Oh I thought you were strictly drag racing it...
If you put it that way I would keep the 450:p

About that trip to Cali, when will you arrange the trip? If it's another year from now put me in:macho If it's OK with you.

I think you will be OK with the 10 paddles. It will definitely pull your 450 but with the large amount of paddles, it will put more stress on your engine. No BIG deal thought.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

CHEVYS Do you think 9 paddle extremes would be too much for me? What does "strectching the paddles" mean, how do you do it?

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, 9 paddles is way too much for your bike. I wouldn't run them on mine. At the most I would say 8 paddle extremes... hell, regular 8 paddles may work well for you.

Stretching the paddles consists of you putting a large amount of air into your tires and letting them sit in the sun for about a week (+). The tires will "Stretch" giving you taller tires. It works well when you have more bottom end than you can use. It really helps my bike because the regular 8s have a weird "traction pattern" on my bike. If you sit forward they spin. If you sit back, they will spin for a second then grab and throw you back hard when you slam the next gear. With a set of 21 8 paddle extremes I think I would be about dead on for most places I ride at.

I love how nimble my bike is. I wouln't trade that for anything. The Raptor has power, but it feels like a big, heavy turd after getting off the 450. Hell, my 440 feels like a turd!

Whenever we do make it out, I will let you know. It is one hell of a long trip though... needless to say, it won't be for a little while. I don't think I will have much of a problem with my engine, though. I have plenty enough setups for it now to have it running no matter what the case!

CHEVYZ clean your PM box.

Friday the 13th is a bad day...
First I walked into my garage and found my front tire flat on my 450.:mad: Then I got my 125 and I found a busted gas line:grr:
After I aired up my tires, my picture man couldn't take a pic of me doing a wheelie or endos :chinese:
This is the best pic I have:blah: after I did a little edit to it.

[CHEVYZ]

Yay! I'm back, and it was a blast. Sucks that none of you guys could come... there wasn't near as many people as last year, but that makes for some good and bad.

First of all, let me start off by saying how much I was impressed with both of my bikes. For what they have in them, they are already running pretty sweet. With a good run, my 05 was running with and beating rigid chassis bikes. Hell, my buddy has a 520r and I waxed him. It isn't a slouch. And to imagine, that set-up sucks! Now for the 06... yes, the little HRC bike. I spent all of Friday testing and tuning them (Both) until I found I liked them, plus worked on some of my skill for different areas (Believe it or not, in the little time I have been there, I improved alot!). The bike runs! I was beating bikes with some decent work to them... a 440EX on alky, 450rs with the HRC kit, exhaust, air filter, etc. It was awesome at night because we had those lights... I was going down the track shifting and smoking guys on a wheelie. I had ALOT of people impressed with my bikes and asking me what I had LOL.

We left Friday morning and just got back. I am soo tired. My hands literally have blisters on blisters. I guess I will put up a little more info later.... I am a bit tired! :p

Sounds like you have a beast:p

400eXr1d3rZ
Congrats:macho
Student of the week!
'Oh you must love "Root Beer":p
Because every pic you take has a Root Beer in it :blah:

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, I find that it does pretty well. It actually kind of overpowers itself with me on it, even with second gear launches. If I don't have a good launch, I can still usually come back on people depending on where we raced, but if I launched hard, they could say goodbye LOL.

Oh, and the twin sabertooth basically self-destructed before it could be run. Instead they brought out the Blaster. :devil: Can't say the little thing doesn't run though, it was smoking some of the baddest bikes out there. Supposedly, it is the fastest Blaster in the country.

Oh, and I think we are gonna be on the site this time. They took a bunch of pictures of our group.

CHEVYS, sounds like you had one hell of a time! What do you mean the Sabertooth "self-destructed"?

You guys might have more parts on your quads than me...
But I have a white seat!:macho

Yup I found time to put the seat cover on. I think I did a good job! I still need to adjust it a little.

I love how it looks on my Y

CHEVYS, sounds like you had one hell of a time! What do you mean the Sabertooth "self-destructed"? I don't know. I think he blew the engine or something before the race. He came out there very early!

Quad King, the cover is looking nice. How hard was it to put on? I have been wanting to do a full graphics kit, but the guy that always did my covers moved and I haven't a clue on how to get it right myself.

The seat cover wasn't hard to put on... the hardest part was pulling the wrinkles out.

Here's how I did it.

First you need to put the front part of the seat cover on (Gas Tank side) then put two staples on it.

Then stretch the seat cover to the other side of the seat, so it will be tight and then put two staples in it.

Then after you have both sides stapled with two staples on each side, stretch the seat cover side to side and staple the seat cover as you go.

Be sure you start to staple the rear end of the seat cover first and stop a little less than half way down the seat, and then you should start to staple the front of the seat to make your way to the rear end of the seat...

Be sure you stretch your wrinkles out as you go.;)

What can over paddling do to your quad?

[CHEVYZ]

The main problem I see associated with overpaddling is that it kills your performance. I would imagine it puts alot of strain on your engine as well.

that is correct...worse to over paddle...actually slows you down..i am not sure when i am coming home....supposed to be nov 9 but i think it is going to change

[CHEVYZ]

whhhoooohhhhoooooo.........

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I haven't ridden in 3 weeks :(

[CHEVYZ]

I am already dying for another ride. I am bored as hell.... all alone this weekend.

[bayou boy]

i wont be home till dec 20....long way to go. from what i have been reading on another site la dunes is making a comeback...they are grading it to keep it smooth and more people are starting to go back

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, I heard that, too. I think that it was on Planet Sand, or whatever.

That sucks about you not being back until Dec. 20. Still have quite a ways! How long do you get to stay this time, or is it another short schedule?

On another note, we are going to Sand Hill next weekend. Anybody think they may be able to make a trip?

[bayou boy]

be home till jan 2 then back here. before i left i started cutting a woods track out on that land we were given use of so far i have about 1/2 mile track made..when i get back i am going to try to get a mile out of it and make a few jumps..it is a great practice track. i will holla at you yall can come check it out

[CHEVYZ]

Give us a holla and we will come help you out, if you want. Whenever you get back we are gonna have to schedule a ride somewhere, too.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

December 20th is two days after my birthday, that sucks that you'll be so long, I wnated to ride with yall again.

[CHEVYZ]

We go to Sand Hill just about every other weekend.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I won't be going to sand hill until I get some paddles, I can't use my friends because he has 10 paddle extremes.

[CHEVYZ]

I have an extra set of Rooster V paddles.

Where do you find all of those deals at? I have been looking into getting a cheap quad to build up and sell. Dunno why, but it seems like a fun way to make some cash! :p

[bayou boy]

i never heard back on it but it is still sitting there so i think he will take my offer. i think we are going to restore it for my friends son. he is getting too big for his raptor 80. so my friend and i are going to hook him up. lol he will be hell on wheels u should see him on the 80....can u say no fear
