LILQJ's Project quad

[QuadJunkies]

What do you get when you put this....

[QuadJunkies]

and this together...:D

[QuadJunkies]

Project quad is now in progess...:macho

[QuadJunkies]

We had planned on buying suspention next week oros, but this was a STEAL on this bike so we jumped on it last night..

this will allow her to run in a few more classes and yet stay with riders closer to her own age and riding abilities. I wont get into too much detail until the suspention arrives and things start to take shape.

Pappy, Sis would like you to PC all the goodies if thats OK :) She is dead set on a bright green I guess. :p

[Snow]

wow looks sweet. Shes gonna love it.

[Pipeless416]

should be a great power to weight ratio.. are there engine mounting kits that can be baught for hybrids like this or does everything need to be fabricated??

I agree! She is very light weight right now and it shouldbe a great upgrade for her.

I think most of this has got to be fabricated. If there is anything out there to help aid the project, Ill be all over it .:scary:


I guess this makes it a YaHonda Eh?:huh :p

There is a couple members that have offered to help give some tips on the build so Ill be in touch with them soon. :)

i would call it yolonda :p


looks like it will be a great build


make sure and get LOTS of pics:D

LOL that IS catchy !!

[wilkin250r]

Are you planning on eventually putting the original (but upgraded) motor back in?

[JR3]

is she gonna move up a class even thoe she doesnt have to to help advance her riding. or do you guys follow like a serious.

[Pappy]

tell her that I would be proud to pc her mutt:D

Maybe a Honya ?

looks like a cool mix.

[BlasterEaten250]

Yamahon :p seems like it is going to be cool in the end, can't wait to see what it looks like when it is finished.

I doubt it , we will probably sell it and she would be better off buying a crate motor (like a 250F) I have been told the Blasterrs are a nightmare to deal with once they are bored over and Troy has his hands full enough with the minis :o :p

We are done racing locally,this will allow her to run a 90cc shifter class,sport class(12-15) and any other class with 90cc and under in it and yet, still remain competitive with other kids her own age.She hasnt rode a shifter long enough to run in an adult class and I dont want to set herself up for dissapointment,especially with alot more traveling.

I am REALLY hoping WORCS series will have a shifter class in 2007. That will be a GREAT class for her cause the kids that run in it are good,fast riders.I feel shifters should have there own class if there is enough demand .
I am soooo glad too cause her and her brother running same class has caused ALOTof stress in this house!! lol
so yes, she is moving up...;)

[troutman561]

Loks like its gona be a good quad... hmm there is so many things to call it.. Honaha, yamada.. the possibilities are endless...

[BlueZ440]

if u want to see a fast shifter class yall should start saving and hit down to glen helen in March for the National.:cool:

[QuadJunkies]

Theres no reason for us to drive all the way to Cali to run ONE race at GH. We want to run a FULL series so WORCS will be as many as wa can attand w/o effecting the kids at school and our pocketbooks to stretch far enough .. Also Wash. racing (tri-city are mainly) for some local MX...we will travel and a little in Utah as well.Maybe a couple FT races at some point .Who knows..

Cali. is just too far to run a full series.

thank you ! I think :huh :p

will it make it faster too?:blah: mom said its like 21 horse power out of the box and the blaster is like 13. I cant wait until its done so I can ride it!

hey QJ if i were you i would deiffinetly get that motor port polish and get that head shaved while the motor is out of the frame. It will be money WELL spent. Dirt bike motors react well especially to getting the head shaved. It makes it more rider friendly. Although you will have to run race fuel:o. It gives it awesome snap and as long as the clutch is not engaged there is power every where. NO bogging.

[QuadJunkies]

We got a referral to a local mini builder for this motor

Oh....its Def. is gonna get a wake up call!:devil:


OH dear... not ANOTHER quad on race fuel...! :( Do you know how expensive that gets with 3 of them??!!:scary: lol

well QJ what happened with the last motor, that you supposebly were runnging race fuel in :o :blah:

[QuadJunkies]

which one? 3 out of 5 do ,The 450r and the Blaster right now doesnt. Mine and the minis do.

lol idk but i remember you mentionig something in the chatroom a while back. It might of been the blaster. every thing should work out great. my little brother has an rm 85 and that thing has some balls.:eek2:

[Tommy 17]

QJ thats a good lil motor... i had a 1996 CR80 (same motor) and man that thing ripped!!! don't worry lil QJ it'll fly for ya!


mine had boysen carbon fiber reeds, Pro circuit pipe, ported, wiseco piston, and a few other lil goodies from pro action.... make sure you get the carb polished... the carb mod made the biggest difference on my bike... the thing flew... i never lost a holeshot with the bike...

[QuadJunkies]

Theres gonna be ALOT to learn on yet another motor :scary: We just want to keep it reliable
So the CR80 and 85 are the same motor? I didnt know that ,but then again.. I dont know much about the mini dirt bike motors either. lol

[Flynbryan19]

In the last couple years I believe the manufacturers bumped up the cc's because the ama rules have always been 85cc limit. It is basically the same motor. In all reality 5cc makes little to no difference in power. QJ that should be on cool little machine. It will most likely be ALL top-end power though. The minis are very pipey. She'll have to be pretty good with the clutch, but from her recent track record of finishes I'm sure she'll adapt fine. ;) Good luck to ya'll.

[Tommy 17]

i'm 99.9999999 % sure its the same motor... see the cr80 was actually 83cc... but one company called theirs and 85 just to make it look faster when really they are 83 ccs... i'm pretty sure theres no differnce in a 1996 to 2006 cr80 except one year they changed the gas tank and shroud design... besides that they are the same...


QJ i beat my 80 from 1996 to 2000 pretty bad and it never broke down once... not a single problem in 4 years on a built motor!

I know off the line they dont seem as"peppy" as hers does -at least from the ones Ive seen but they have a gobb more top end.Hers climbed hills better as well,but Im sure with experienced people in the field, we will get the right clutch and gearing .The 1st year will be more of a practice for her than really competitive I think.But then again....She might surprise us! :D

Brandon has already taken over her quad and was Def. ready for that motor. We had him take out her mini this wk end to get used to the difference in fit and feel to the local dunes.... Not much jumping out there but I managed to get this one with Dad... He will have two quads now for two classes. This makes it alot more versatile for BOTH kids .http://i.pbase.com/o5/26/660826/1/67861643.VLRg4o35.IMG_0582.JPG

[Mxjunkie]

I ran a fmf sst to fmf shorty, vforce reeds, twin air airfilter and a little port and polish on my cr80 and the thing was fast as heck! the vforce reeds really helped with the lowend bog the power deilvery alot smoother then what it was with the stock reed cage..

Very good motor's I ran the piss out of mine and never had any troubles :cool:

We debated on what motor to get, but wehear so many good things about the CR that we decided t ogo that route. Plus, this bike was a SUPER good price we couldnt pass up :)

I think making the pipe fit right is going to be one of the bigger projects we will have out of the whole thing.Maybe swingarm too..If I can grab some info thats out there on this type of project, Ill be all over it.

[250ex13]

I havent read this thread at all. All I know is your doing something with an 85 motor so heres some pics of a blaster with a yz85's motor, just as an example of how it looks ..I love it! lol

[QuadJunkies]

I sooooooo need some names and phone numbers to some of these peeps that have done this to talk to. :scary:
thats a HOT Hybrid for sure!:eek2:

Were not made of money by any means, but want to build it properly.

[Ruby Soho]

thats a sick blaster hybrid

[QuadJunkies]

Were stumped on who can modify the swingarm w/o it costing an arm and leg. Also, never done the Motor mounts before so that will be a new one. We was hoping the pro circuit pipe would wrap around w/o TOO MUCH trouble.
Ill keep that in mind ;)

And no time ot waste... I just need to save all I can over the winter to do this. Its only about 100 days until 2007 WORCS starts back up again and she still needs some seat time... I hope we can make it :scary:

[yellow400ex05]

thats gonna be a sick hybrid! I bet I'tll be fast!:cool:

[QuadJunkies]

WEll, the project quad build MIGHT have just taken a turn....

I THINK we might have just scored on an already build one for a killer price.:cool:
Ill be finding out more on the deal today, might be flying out to take a gander at it this week sometime.

Ill most the pics of it when the deal is done!

Im still debating on whether or not to keep the bike we just bought,resell it and buy a Crate motor/backup motor or just sell it and be done with it .
Either way, Ill have an 06 Blaster up for grabs !:p

[xsr_racing28c]

are you buying the one from Joel Janssen?? His son Cody who rode that one now rides a couple 450r's so i don't think they use this one..

[QuadJunkies]

no,its not his .. Codys is for sale too Eh?I think I like the one we are eyeballing better actually.We called and had Rich Hetrick take a look at this one and give us his 1st impression and expertise.I am awaiting a few more pictures from them to confirm a few things Its pretty much a done deal and should be here in 7-10 days
Kelseys gonna FLIP !!! :blah:

very nice....r those 250R front plastics???

[bradley300]

i bet that looks sweet!

and thats maier blaster plastic, it is kind of the same look as 400ex plastic

[krt400ex]

oh, k....thanks

[CRich[814]]

more pics. omg. thats sweet.

[QuadJunkies]

WEll, we just wrapped up the deal..!

heres some pics...

[QuadJunkies]

Ill get some better shots when it arrives...

Its a Blaster/CR85
Laeger +3 Chrome A-Arms
-Elka Suspension
-400EX Disc Brake Front End
-400EX Rear Disc Brake
-New Maier Plastics
-Candy Apple Red Powdercoated Gussetted Frame
-+1 Steering Stem
-ITP Holeshot Front Tires
-Turf Tamer Rear Tires
-Douglas Wheels
-Aluminum Airbox
We still arent sure of the Axle, but Rish thought possibly a 300ex or stock 400ex

[QuadJunkies]

I would like to thank Bradley for taking the time to help me line up stuff for the build and then not end up doing it . lol

This quad was a total steal in price so we just had to get it .
Now I need to decide whether or not to keep the other CR bike or sell,it would be a good way to have a back up motor,maybe PEP it up a little bit down the road and sell the rolling chassis.

We will be making some small cosmetic changes,the bumper will be 1st to go. :p Im thinking like a Rath or IMS(Black)

Kelsey still doesnt care for the color as much as the green,but we are going to "compromise" and go with some Cobaly Blue accent so if its still ok Pappy, we would still like to send some stuff to you !

[coolguy8769]

gotta love ADT:p


i wish i had a quad like that when i was her age

[Ralph]

im pretty sure they used to use banshee axles in them blasters

[QuadJunkies]

Yeah they do,Ive seen a lot of them , but almost all the components are converted to Honda,We might do an upgrade on the axle this year as well.

Its oing to be nice having a Honda front and Rear end!:D

[krt400ex]

nice machine....got a question...what class is she racing in??? is it like the "90cc or under class" cuz i dunno why u would replace the blaster motor for the cr 85 :confused: or is the 85 motor just that much quicker than the blaster??

[QuadJunkies]

The CR will put the smack down on a stock Blaster

The CR is around 21-22 HP out of the box. This one has a Custom built pipe,a good one from what Ive been told. Then she has her power to weight..

Running a CR motor will allow her to run the sport and 12-15 class with other kids .Shes not ready to run a full adult WORCS Course.When shes done and moves on to a full size ,then my Son can race it. We just about have enough quads to keep every one content racing for a bit now !:scary:

[krt400ex]

got it...thats cool. i had no idea that a cr 85 was quicher than a blaster. i guess powervalves and liquid cooling really help :)

has she seen the blaster yet?

[QuadJunkies]

Originally posted by Kickstarts_Suck

[BigFish]

That's just sick:eek2:

QJ that looks awesome! Now you don't have to worry about deciding on what suspension to run! ;)

i believe they make roundhouse swingarms for blasters made to accept a 250r or 400ex bearing carrier and i think 400ex components

[QuadJunkies]

Originally posted by fandl450r

I think we might try a Gforce axle for her since shes so light I dont think she will break it -at least, I hope not :huh and set of Flexx bars

[bwamos]

Hell, I wish I had a quad like that now... .lol. ;) That's a very nice quad.

[QuadJunkies]

I forgot to mention one important thing. Wewill be replacing the radiator. Troy said he doesnt feel this one will be adequate,maybe go with a Honda 450.
whats the price one on one of those anyhow?? My guess is around 300.00 new ?
:ermm:

www.ebay.com
Item number: 110045961662

[QuadJunkies]

I got a confirm today that the quad will be here on Thurs...

I CANT STAND THIS MADNESS.......!!!:scary: :p
they will be out testing it this wk end, Ill be in Wash. so I wont see it in action until the following week :(

[QuadJunkies]

Quads here... FULL TEAR DOWN will be needed ....:(
FULL TEAR DOWN being done this wk end...
Owner short cutted alot of things and diidnt do proper upkeep on it.

I should have known this would happen.
Rear shock is blown, but what do you expect when a 250lb man hops on this kids quad right?? sigh...

.
We saw many addintional pictures,ask many questions so we knew what we was getting(or thought) but I guess thats the risk you take when buying off the net .Like I said overall though,it was still a savings over starting from scratch.


I dont think there will be too much cost, Im just a little angry about its condition. It was still worth the price and saved us time, I just dont like being lied to.This is also my kids race money that will have to be used that we was saving up for WORCS series that they have been so excited to run in 2007. Hope the previous owner is VERY happy with his fat check
Ill have a parts list posted when were done wat all we done to it,its also getting PC'd a dif. color.

I guess Sis will get here green frame afterall...

[QuadJunkies]

heres a couple pics... Doesnt look too bad until you REALLY dig into things.ALOT of shotty- short cuts done and lack of maintenance.

[QuadJunkies]

Man, I hate that bumper :p

[QuadJunkies]

I hope the shock is nothing major. Troy may try and redo that himself with a freind who has done his Axis shocks before.

[parkers30]

Did you figure out what rear end they used?


its a great looking quad from a distance, I guess close up is a different story

[QuadJunkies]

Oh its great looking, just need some work . Theres no way my kids racing it in the shape its in now.


Still not sure, the owner didnt know either :rolleyes: He had it built for his kid,he didnt do it himself.

Its def a longer swinger,reminds me of a Banshee swinger. Its just a guessing game at this point.

[parkers30]

sure looks like a 400ex rear end: hubs, axle, lock nut and carrier all look the same

[QuadJunkies]

m pretty sure it is, but it also reminds me of a longer Banshee swinger too.

[Northernrider]

Bye the sounds of it with your hubbies experience it will be very ready in time

:macho :macho

[parkers30]

its definitely not a 400ex swinger, its no link. But alot of companies did design swingers to use Honda setups for the chain adjustment.

BTW it looks like the lock nut on the axle isn't on right :o I'm sure thats one more thing to add to the list

[QuadJunkies]

I srue hope so :(
Poor kid hasnt even got to ride it yet. Not sure how the racing will go the 1st couple rounds :ermm: :o

The guy didnt even use the right nuts,bolts(grade) ect on ALOT of things ..
its gonna get neked this wk end :p

Kicker was JB welded on and gotta HUGE GOOP of it dried to the PC..Troy called the guy and he said its nothing he wouldnt have his kid race...
He obviuously doesnt see the safety issues written all OVER IT!
Whats the ole sayin...

If you want the job done right, you have to do it yourself...???
It will get there ;)

That's the truth!!

[QuadJunkies]

well, they got the radiator fitted... Ill get some pics up soon.
Now next will be modifying the pipe to fit around it . We have someone locally that can do that.

Next will be fabbing a skid plate.

[QuadJunkies]

Troy and a close freind have been hard at work fabricating this week.. The Hybrid now has an upgrade to a YFZ Radiator and had to changed the angle of the pipe...
LOL so much for the nice Powedercoating..!!
Hopefully next week the PC will be getting done.
colors will be
Stealth Black
somekind of Red
Flourescent Green
I ordered the Spastic Graphics to match today.
heres a couple shots of the Radiator our friend took.

I cant thank him enough for all his help :)
Check out the rezzie... What a MORON!

[QuadJunkies]

It now has a massive cooling system, I think Troy said something about an installing a Guage to monitor it as well

[QuadJunkies]

things will be alot cleaner when it done.

[QuadJunkies]

We are converting to a 400ex clutch cable I think he said, most everything will be Honda, I think the only thing not is the Radiator and the Chassis.. LOL
Still not sure on a few parts that are on there, were trying to research some of the parts to know what to buy for replacements.
It shoudl be ready to strip down soon once we got everything fitted,or at least most of them.

[QuadJunkies]

Not sure about a Skid plate yet... were goign to take off my Durablue and see if it will work and fab. it to fit.We liek the Durablue to save a littleweight and it doesnt dent up like the others.

Now isnt this BEAUTIFUL..... Hmmmm..... Pictures dont lie !
How about that Rezzie??!!!
Going to have to get THAT replaced too!:mad:

[fandl450r]

That's the only bad thing about custom built quads! Some people seem to skimp on the most important parts! I'd even look into a Maier plastic skidplate if you are looking to save weight. I run one on the R and it works/functions flawlessly. Definitely a lot lighter than an aluminum one as well.

That line is ridiculous. I don't know how it hasn't leaked or even just ripped in half.

Quad is definitely looking good though! Can't wait to see progress pictures.

[sly400ex]

Bummer that it wasn't in as in good condition as advertised, but you guys are making short work of that!:cool:

Looks like a little more work and it will be right where you want it! Good luck!;)

I appreicate the the comments.
If I wasnt a moderatorr on the site

Ill be respectable and just live and learn.

[Tommy 17]

QJ who cares if your a mod thats your hard earned money and your daughters safety... i'd go after them if it was me... if it was false advertised and not what they described u were buying...


same thing as when john arens screwed me over and nearly killed me with a set of a-arms... i dind't care who i was friends with on here i did everything i could to get my money back and let other people know how big of a @$$ he was!

Oh , its BEYOND what they described, and now seeing what I do ,I can see they only shot pics certain ways so we wouldnt see all the flaws!:grr: Troy called and let him know he felt he owed us a refund for needed replacemen parts that was BEYOND damage... He STILL hasnt returned our call.The owner is NEVER there,apparently has his shop guys do all his dirty work, I for one think the guy was there the whole time, he just didint want to talk to us.

I just hope the guy is at the opening Round of the series (if we can actually affford to go now)

We called Elka today, hopefully we will get the specs on the shock of the serial number and what exactly that shock is(we think its a ZPS) we might not need to change the line on the Rez once its been serviced. Not sure yet, we might fix the fronts ourself and just send off the rear.
BUT... If anyone posts asking about this dealer, Ill be the 1st to tell them what happened to us.I just hope this all doesnt cost my kids the sereis they have been looking forward to racing ,then it will all be a waste.

[QuadJunkies]

Well, looks like the shocks we can do ourself,we add thenew line and ciompletly service them ourself-THANK GOODNESS!

The line will need replaced,its been kinked up too long and wont straighten out.That will save a few bucks.

We found a Chassis skid that will most likely work(thank you Daddio!) we want to make sure its covered good this time.
hopefully Ill have some pics to post by next week of some of the progress and a little less complaining :p

[krt400ex]

boy, all this sucks!!!! that is why i don't really like buying used on the internet....better safe then sry

[QuadJunkies]

just arrived.
this should keep the belly better protected and its durable and light weight.

[QuadJunkies]

This has been a slow process, but were getting there!!

Motor was sent to her new sponsor at Fuel Technoligies (http://fueltechusa.com/)

he build motors for Ricky Carmichael at one time .

the CR85 motor is getting new ceramic bearings, rod ,piston , porting ect....
The motor will be built to withstand more weight and have exceptional Low end power.

powder coating will be this wk end(FINALLY!) Ive had a REAAALLY tough time finding the right green,its all ready to shoot.I hope its the right color.
So far just about everyone but ourselves have delivered what we was promised. The graphics was a dif color,the shocks we are having to bebuild ourself, what should have been NEW shocks we later found out from Elka from the serial number is that they are 3 YEARS OLD you cant buy replament parts and will have to upgrade if they wont hold after the servicing(they had a leaking issue and have new seals,we will most likely just replace them)We was told they was valved for a 90 lb rider, when in fact they were for a 150 LB RIDER .

Troy has literally went threw it from top to bottom and redone everything. It now has gussetts, it now has a radiator and belly skid plate (thank you Daddio!) were acid treating the radiator next week or so. .It got a full set of new tires on its way(UPS has lost them somewhere, see what I mean! ) Clutch was shot , got a new one .Were PC'ing the Axle black, Handlebars black,bright red/Orange for the swinger and stem and hubs. Its got new bearings,we are literally doing all the work ourselves.
The good thing out of all this is that we will now know what all has been done to it and it will be a much safer and reliable quad for my girl
I just hope now we are over the hump and can start to have fun with the project and enjoy this little pissed off mini when its done
heres the color the frame will be
Physco Lime

[daddio]

That will be one sweet 'shifter when you're done. Thanks for the props on the Skid. If anyone else want's one, just P/M me.

[krt400ex]

that frame is going to be SICK! i can't wait!


there r "lemon" laws that protect ppl from this sort of thing happening. here is what i would do. check the site and se if he strill has the bike listed. if he does, print everything out, so u have all that is advertised. then take him to court, showing what the bike really was like and what he advertised it as. he will and up paying no doubt. he will prolly pay up if u just threaten him because he knows u will win if it goes to court. this is what i would do. i got stiffed witha bike once, and i couldn't take the guy to court because i was too young and my dad is too conservative to do it, so i ended up losing a chit load of money. this kind f thing sucks. take him to court.

[QuadJunkies]

Tires came today-WHEW!:D

we debated what tire to use and felt the radials would be a VERY good tire for her application for both MX and WORCS racing.
rears are the 18 inch.
Also, Spocket Specialist is making Custom spockets and are also being hard anodizing to make it strong as steel.
Chain will be from SideWinder.
BTW... Anyone ran the Temp stickers from Factor Effects? WEre also giving them a try.
New new Brake lever, silencer packing and tie rod ends came as well,pipe was gutted and sounded AWEFUL.

Also, motor was in bad shap ,had the wrong size head on it and felt weak,glad we had the motor workedover before the 1st race of the season of chaces are -it would have seized.
:ermm:
Ordering new Hubs today.
Its sort of relieving seeing parts roll threw ,kind of makes me feel like itsstartingto move along now!
It shoudlbe completed top to bottom(including motor) wiothin 2-3 weeks and ready to RIDE!

QJ, what kind of pipe do they have on that thing?...sucks that it was in such horrible shape....but, I bet she can't wait to throw a leg over it!:)

The pipe is a Dyno port exhaust.

[QuadJunkies]

We have had alot of focus right now on the motor,a greatdeal of changes are being made,but not an major big bore kits or anything ot make it less reliable. We have upgraded clutch,scrank,reeds, reed cage,tranny bearings,clutch basket and several other things that needed to be replaced....

Troy and our good freind of E-ATV-racing have been hard at work getting the l;ast bit of touch ups done before finsihing up all the powdercoating.The black textured parts will be done today

This is the Red we went with,its a bright one!!
NASA will no doubt have no problem spotting this quad up in space :p

[QuadJunkies]

Troy doing a little blasting of the nerfs..

[QuadJunkies]

I thought the blasting was pretty cool, but messy :scary:

[QuadJunkies]

Pauls Oven

[QuadJunkies]

He has been such a HUGE help
Axle is getting a texture black as well
eventually a Gforce will replace this one

[QuadJunkies]

Handle bars too!

[QuadJunkies]

Not too much longer and it shoudl all be about done! FINALLY!

[Ghost-Rider]

I havent checked back here since you were talking about the orig plans....sucks that all that crap went bad on the quad but atleast now its looks to be coming right along:)

[daddio]

Looking Good!

[wvspeedfreak]

Looking good QJ.I am sandblasting parts tonight for Austins quad.We are still trying to decide on colors for this one.

Qj tell her i said she has great taste in GREEN RED AND STEALTH BLACK:p they colors all flow really good together thats the exact color scheme my 400ex was...

I showed her your quad, she likes...:D

I actually had to convince her of the red, she wanted just the green and black, but she was later convinced mixing a few colors will enhance others(hopefully!) especially when we get new graphics down the road,she will have a little more color to work with :)
Id like the Gorforitgraphics,but I dont think they make them for the Maier Blaster plastic :(
Im not fond of the quality of the ones we got this time around:ermm: they will get used for the year and move on to something new next year maybe.
Troy acid treated the radiator and the kids are going to be hard at work today doing a little polishing.

[QuadJunkies]

covers ready to shoot next

[QuadJunkies]

heres a few shots of the black thats now done

Motor goes in next week. :D

[QuadJunkies]

[QuadJunkies]

You should see the axle!:devil:
Ill get more shots this wk end

[QuadJunkies]

Axle :devil:

[QuadJunkies]

.

[QuadJunkies]

Nerfs and Bumper
We was in a hurry so I didnt get the best pics yet..

[QuadJunkies]

alot of blood and sweat we involved in the project( looks like it on the floor! LOL!:p )

[N300exJ]

That looks so awesome. I never realized that a 85cc engine would be an improvement over a 200cc yfs engine. My brothers gf is gettin tired of her blaster. Mainly how it handles(stock suspension is horrible) we always wanted to put a crf or yzf 250 engine in it but thought it would be too much power for a lil blaster. Seeing these photos gives me alot of ideas. If she doesnt like the 300ex i built ill talk to my bro about putting a cr85 engine in it and coverting the back to a honda rear end. We already converted the front brakes/hubs/spindles to 06 blaster(her blaster is a 96) so its all hydrolic already. and just so you know alot of the 300ex 400ex 250r 450r parts interchange with each other. 300ex and 400ex/450r axles/wheel hubs/sprocket hubs and brake hubs interchange. 300exs and 400exs share the same rear brake calipers. And also share carriers for the axles. I believe that 400ex axles are one to two inches wider than 300ex axles stock for stock. Aftermarket antifade axle locknuts are the same for all the honda quads. the 300ex i built has an all 400ex front end on it and it handles so much better than stock. I cant wait to see more photos of your project. Maybe well have to do a custom blaster buildup as well. :devil:

[QuadJunkies]

LILQJ's motor run around 27HP when its done :eek: :devil:

[QuadJunkies]

he site is running EXTREMELY slow for me tonight so bare with me...
I just got emailed some of the pics fresh out of the oven
Its a tougher color to shoot an accurate picture of the colors, Ill take some shots also when I get a chance to in the sunlight.There are some shadows on the frame ,but it gives you a rough idea..

time to Essemble!!!!!! :D

[QuadJunkies]

Its def gonna be a one of a kind!

[250ex13]

OMG. It's Buetiful:eek:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

What was the color again? Granny smith green? or psycho green? something like that.

[amonomous]

got my frame done that same green

[QuadJunkies]

Originally posted by 400eXr1d3rZ

Its Pscho Lime,it has an extreme Chrome Base coat(I think thats what you call it lol)

It was a really tough powder to work with ,but it turned out pretty close to the original color
I think its somewhat similiar to Granny Apple according to the samples I recieved, but Pappy could probably answer that better than I.

[QuadJunkies]

I love the PC'd axle. I wanted to do that to my Lonestar because the chrome finish is horrible. How well does it hold up??

Were not sure how it will hold up, never seen one done before-I guess we will find out soon!:)
It was an eye sore before and at some point it will get a new axle.

[krt400ex]

that is such a sweet color frame! i love it

[Pappy]

Originally posted by QuadJunkies

Looks like GSG, but GSG is its own base so not sure what or where that actual powder came from seeing you stated they used a chrome basecoat. It does look like GSG from what I can see...looks great too!!!!

[Pappy]

Originally posted by speedfreaksguy

they dont do bad, for XC guys it probably wouldnt last long but for MX/FT its an alternative to having to live with nasty chrome or that stock mess:p

I got it from Caswell.

It looks to have a metalic look to it,amonomous's frame is porbably more accurate to color than my friends pic was.

Im going to go over and get better pics today or tomorrow

Kelsey motor builder is going out with us next wk end to test her
motor(still waiting for the cylinder to come back,rod came yesterday) then its ready

Alot of the essembly should be done this wk end.


I guess we will see how the Axle will endure her Cross Counrty race season,a fw locations have rock I know but nothing like ya'll endure back east!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Granny smith green sorta has that mintish color.

[QuadJunkies]

The only REALLY big Eye sore that will have to remain is the brake Calipers,Troy doesnt want to tear them completly apart cause I guess they are extra work and time he wont have (ok, he said they are a PITA to be axact..lol) to PC and Im not buying new ones if they dont need replace for now.:ermm:

[Pappy]

c'mon...do the dang calipers!

haha just spray paint them. I did that on my 300 and they are still looking good abour 6 months later.

[QuadJunkies]

until I can get the frame outside, this was the best I could come up with
doesnt help that I havea new External Flash and dont know how to use it yet :o :p

[QuadJunkies]

the front end should be all put together tonight is my guess..

[QuadJunkies]

.

[QuadJunkies]

..

[QuadJunkies]

I think each pic the green lokos a litte different..lol :p

[QuadJunkies]

this one is pretty accurate.

[QuadJunkies]

I wasnt sure if I would liek the Chrome Aarms with the rest of the colors,but it turned out good!

[QuadJunkies]

I like the sprocket too...:D

[400eXr1d3rZ]

On those arms, is that PC chrome or real chrome?

[QuadJunkies]

Originally posted by 400eXr1d3rZ

Its real chrome

[krt400ex]

that thing is comin great!!! can't wait to see it finished...its gonna be bad arse:devil:

[QuadJunkies]

its starting to finally look like a quad again!
I have some spastic graphics for the tank, I also couldnt leave the project go w/o atvriders stickers as well- that I ordered over the wk end so hopefully those will be here shortly.
heres a few more pics

[QuadJunkies]

LOL
I never realized how bald the front tires was until now !:p
I cant wait to see the radials on it!:macho
Hey Daddio,it cleaned up nicely :)

[QuadJunkies]

The acid treatment done its job

[QuadJunkies]

I think we are going to ditch the Baja fronts ,not sure what yetfor what , but we arent liking the inner ring design.
Possibly going with a scallop design
We will see once I find out the exact price !:p
Otherwise, just a .190 Douglas front will be added.

The ASV that came with it was junk unfortunaly, so we went with the stock 400ex( Im pretty sure that what they picked out )shes use to mine so we replaced it with that .
I was hoping it could be salvaged but no such luck :(

What was wrong with the ASV levers? If they are worn out, you can get replacement parts. You can also contact ASV, explain what you are doing, and how the levers got "trashed", (you bought the bike that way) and they might help you out. They stand behind their products very well.

[QuadJunkies]

Im not sure, its a 400ex rotar, it came with the quad originally

Daddio,Im actually waiting to hear back from ASV on rider support (if I didnt send in resumes too late in Nov.)
I cant remember what Troy said was bad with the lever, but Ill find out ;)

[QuadJunkies]

Daddio, Troy said the entire thing was rusted and worn out .The levers themselves was competly unfixable (literally) from abuse, like most of the rest of the quad was :rolleyes:

[IDEX]

I guess Troy is making a few phone calls today,another to the owner of the shop .We found out a few more details on the quad that was false advertised.
I for one have already reported them to the BBB for fraud.

That's too bad. I found out the hard way that you are supposed to oil the spring on the ASV levers after washing or riding in the mud. But they replaced all the rusted parts for me.

stayin with the same person is a good thing....i think it is waayyy better than going from person to person because then the love isn't as real....it is harder to build a relationship and u tend to get careless with ppl (in my experience)

Quad looks sweet.
Lilqj looks about Reed's size when he started riding his YFZ. All that effort for a quad that won't last her very long. She's a lucky kid.

By the time that rolls around, Brandon will be ready to upgrade she will prol. be racing MINE and I hope to have a NEW ONE by then,Troy may be switching to a Bike so I may be getting the 450 who knows... all I know is

its MY TURN!:grr:

I think the thought of her riding a quad that fits her well. Her weight is whats tough on a big quad right now,she may never gain another pund but trying dif. set ups and gradually working her way up is a good thing I think :)

How old is Reed now? Does he still l have his Blaster? Or did you sell it. I knew you was thinking about selling it .

That sounds like a good plan......... I was just messin' with ya.
Too many parents put their kids on the big quads waaaayyyyy to early.
Reed is 15 now, and has just started "bulking up" and can throw the YFZ around, but he is still only about 130 lbs. He was just barely a 100 lbs with all his gear on, when he started with the 450. But he was also riding the Blaster as fast as it would go, literaly.
The Blaster is oficially for sale now. $6500 as is, with all the spare parts.

Maybe Reed would be a good one for her to talk to about her racing since hes been there and same build at this age.
Kids seem to have a tougher time listening to there parents advice and dont take it as CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM. We know nothing ... :rolleyes: :p LOL

You are so right. Reed hasn't listened to me in years.:rolleyes:
I think the kids get to a point in their riding, where it's hard for us (adults) to understand, because we do things that require more strength, weight or physical size to accomplish.
When the kids talk with each other, or to a Pro rider, they get a better understanding.

BTW......... Joe Byrd is putting on another school in Montana, June 2-3rd. Reed is signed up for it, and some other kids on shifters, as well as some other adults. It would be a great oppurtunity for Kelsey's racing career.

Stay home from 1 WORCS round..... :blah: ... $475 isn't that much, given the training she will recieve. Brandon might be a little too young for the class. I think they should at least be riding a shifter, unless it's a "Mini-auto" class.

HEHE.... the kids wouldnt like that at this point :p
Why the heck is he hosting it on Montana anyways?? Do they even have quad racing in Montana?:confused:

Its an added expense we dont have for the travel,the fees arent what adds up so fast as the drive,time off work,motels ect...
were tapped out
Theres hardly any racing in Idaho these days aside of FT racing ,especially for the minis so its a big thing for them to do the WORCS series so they have kids to run with .:)

Im sure we will be doing LOTS of changes on gearing ,tires possibly(alough I think these tires are SAWEET!) she is REALLY struggling with traction, might be a little tougher on a 2 stroke too maybe.
But yes, its all about some solid seat time.
If it would ever warm up abit we might be able to ride more:ermm:
Come spring I doubt we will be home much :p

Those tires look like turf tamers. Have Troy get out his fancy new grooving iron and remove every other "knob". Or you could spring for some soft compound Maxxis Razor MX tires.
