My 06 450R

[Chino886]

Its not the nicest but it's mine!

This is when I got back from the recent trip from the dunes so the headlight, stock hood, and taillight are still on there.

I will have updates with a racing hood and hopefully a graphics kit soon!

May have updates of soon too with Maier Neon Yellow plastics and rear HiPers also!

last one for now

[rollie]

nice bike, i really like the white/blue color scheme, i think thats what im going for

[Chino886]

I am not a big fan of blue, but since the QT seat is blue and it was on there when I bought and I don't want to for out more cash for seat cover that is in good shape.

I will be switching it all over to white/red in the future!

Thanks for the compliments!

I forgot to add, it is an 06 450ER converted to kicker only! I did not do it myself but it works good! Probably even better once I get the valves/decompressor adjusted properly! LOL!

[mrnate400ex]

who did your shocks?? are you happy with them?? the bike looks good!!!

[Prospector]

hell yeah looking good, not goin for the rear grab bar though! personally i would stick witht he white and blue, its different everyone has red. do you like the pipe? is it loud or quiet?

[rollie]

Chino how do you like your nerfs? ive heard lots of differnt opinons on them, idk to get them or not

[Flodies400ex]

Yea chino umm the pipe you have is that for 2006 or the black one because I really like the one you have but do they make one for the 06 or is yours 05

[Gumby46]

Looking good chino!

Just needs some levers! :D

j/k!

JH Racing did the shocks and from what little I have ridden, they feel pretty good!

The pipe I have is for the 06, I don't think the 04/05 pipe will work because of the changes on the 06.

one of the next things that I will be buying is the rear grab bar, I hate the one I have now. The pipe is probably putting out about 100+ dbs right now. I plan to get the SuperTrap endcap and disc system in the future.

[Chino886]

Nice!!!!!!!! I myself like that rear grab bar! What brand is it? PRM?

Yup, if you have a stock 06 rear grab bar, I will trade you.

[lghickman21]

That badass dude. Do you like it better than the ex? From what i remember it was pretty badass too.

[Chino886]

The Butt Dyno likes it a whole lot better! :macho

[Chino886]

added a graphics kit

[Chino886]

still need # plates

[Chino886]

and she needs to be cleaned up

[Chino886]

chino886's patent pending inverted garage quad mount....:devil:

Thanks Jay!

I have been working hard doing a little bit at a time!

I really need to get up there and ride, I think it would be a great time.

I took it out on the track on Sunday and it scared the crapola out of me, it is a different beast compared to the 400EX!

[Chino886]

Originally posted by gpd005

Yup, I can pull my explorer in under it.....LOL!

I am thinking of building a lift with a winch system to enable me to lift it up on a platform in the back of the garage......still working out the details on that one.

[xsr_racing28c]

Yea I can imagine that the 450R is quite a different feel than the ex. I'm still trying to get used to my yfz, and now that i've been riding the yami while the honda has been apart, i'm sure it will be hard to get back into the groove with the R.

Get some guys together and come up here and make a weekend out of it.. I'll have a new track layout here for ya when you come up... Heck if you draw it up, i'll build it..Thats how much i want you guys to come up and ride!!! :p

[Chino886]

Oh don't you worry buddy!

I am sure my bro and I could find a nice weekend to get away from the ladies and head to Cheeseland!

[xsr_racing28c]

Haha!!! I'll even make a cheese double if you'd like..:eek:


We'll talk soon and plan something out!! ~Jay

[Chino886]

For sure, you have to get yours up and running!

[trx400exxracer]

[exrider44]

What arms do you have on there? I am just trying to get ideas. How does the revalved shocks work? Alot better then stock

[Chino886]

They are wicked +2s, the front shocks are 100% better than stock.

I am thinking of selling this setup too.

[xsr_racing28c]

what are you going with for suspension??

~Jay

[Chino886]

Originally posted by xsr_racing28c

If I can sell these arms and shocks, I will go LT, buy only if I can sell them.

[xsr_racing28c]

DO IT!!!!

Lt is awesome and I just wish that I had another 450r to build up again.

I'm almost thinking about aquiring my the other brand new 06 that we've got sitting here and building it up for my 3rd machine. I wanna do a full Walsh bike!!! Thats my dream!!!

Thanks Franky! How's your 400EX doing?

[xsr_racing28c]

Dave,

I'm probably not going to build the 06, Unless i get rid of the YFZ, cuz to me another quad would be worthless, since I barely have 45 mins of riding on the yfz and have had it for 6 months..haha..:rolleyes:

What are you looking to do to your R yet, since you said you hope to have it complete by Feb 07'?? I'm anxious to see what it looks like.. ~Jay

[Chino886]

Well, the front end may change, along with some color changes as well! I have some yellow fenders on the way!

Maybe blue rings on the hipers all around.

I am still taking it one step at a time!

Maybe strip the frame down and have my buddy paint it for me.....

I don't know, what do you think I should do?

[xsr_racing28c]

I really do actually like the way it looks as it is, but obviously its always cool to change it up a little bit.

I would go with some pc or paint on the frame just to break it up a little bit and you may as well get a gusset kit installed while your striping the frame, cuz its just cheap insurance.

If you go with yellow plastics, i would definatley get rid of the red on the bike and go with blue. I have some front hiper blue rings here i'll send to you if you'd like.

Other than that, I'd just go Long Travel for sure,and by then you'll have everything you need. Oh yea and rear hipers would be killer!!!

~Jay

[Chino886]

Yeah, that is what I was thinking!

I might take you up on a trade maybe on rings if you are interested in Red.

You mean rear HiPers like these? LOL! I just don't want to wear down the good MXR6s just putting/practicing!

[xsr_racing28c]

Send me your address Dave, They'll be in the mail tommorow. I don't need Red, keep em as spares!!

[450r51]

gay!!:devil:

[Chino886]

Just to update you all on my POS, I sent my shocks out to have CUSTOM a-arms built today, should be 2-3 weeks till I have my arms, should be neat!

No one else will have these! :devil:

[xsr_racing28c]

They're gonna be killer Dave!!!

I can't wait to see em'~Jay

[Chino886]

You will be one of the first, I guarantee that!

They should reach their destination on Monday after the holiday, so hopefully, 2 1/2 weeks from today! :devil:

[mrnate400ex]

are your hiper rims 3-2 offset on the front?? how wide is it with the +2 a arms on there?? i'm thinking it will be over 50" with +2's and 3-2 offset rims.

[Chino886]

Originally posted by mrnate400ex

They are 4:1 offset!

[mrnate400ex]

so do you know how wide you are with the 4:1's and your +2's??

[Chino886]

it was just under 50"....

[Chino886]

Well, custom a-arms are now in the process of being built and I purchased some PEP LT shocks!

Will update as soon as I get everything!

Other little things will be going on at this time too (i.e. clutch perch/lever, new brake lever, sprocket change, bar change [from T2s to Pro Taper], and hopefully rear hipers will be going on).

:devil:

[xsr_racing28c]

Why are you changing out your rear Hipers? Are you going with the dual bolt pattern instead of the integrated hub??

Also I think you'll really like the PEP shocks...

[Chino886]

Originally posted by xsr_racing28c

No, no, no, I still have the champions on, have not taken them off or the hubs yet.

I hope the PEPs are all that they are cracked up to be, I think I have figured out that they are the PEP Quadrate ZPS 8 Click Rezzie.

[xsr_racing28c]

I'm pretty sure that those are the 21 Click adj.. they have the smaller rezzies right?? The 8 Clicks only come in Big Bottles I believe, but i may be wrong..

You may be right, I tried to call up to Baldwin last night but I could not get a hold of anyone. Will try today.

250R4EVR said they would go out today!

Oh well, we shall see! The springs will NOT be red, white, and blue when they are on my bike! :devil:

[mrnate400ex]

Chino, you ever find a manual anywhere?? I downloaded one somewhere. I'll see if I can find it again.

[Chino886]

Not for an 06!

When you going to bring you bad boy out to play with Chino's garage queen! :p

[mrnate400ex]

Once I get my pipe and nerf bars in!!! Heck, you guys got a lot of snow and ice up there didn't you?? We did too down here, but it'll be gone by Monday!! I can't find the link, but I lied anyway. Its for an 04/05.

Yeah, I have the 04/05 on CD.

Yeah, KC got hit with some snow. Up by us, there was not any, but south of us ranged from 10-14"! It will be gone by today probably!

Yeah, I have about 2-3 weeks before my arms are finished!

[mrnate400ex]

do you have trouble with yours starting in the cold?? i tried to start mine yesterday(was gonna tear up the snow packed street) and it didn't even try to fire. tried with the choke on, off, gave it a little gas before starting and didn't even act like it was going to start. i guess i need to pull the plug on it today and see what is up. i probably better put the charger on the battery too. its probably down a little from yesterday too.

Nope, not as long as my legs if up to the challenge....:p

I have a converted kicker! Its not running at the moment, I changed 3 things and now she is being stubborn. Might work on it today or tomorrow, depending on how cold the garage is.

I tip of advice I learned from the 400EX, find out how many Cold Cranking Amps that POS battery has and try to find a battery that is the same size, but has more CCAs. That might help!

Oh, and don't ever give it gas while it is starting........I have heard bad things can happen.........never experienced it, but I know it can cause "kickback".

[mrnate400ex]

yeah, i know about the no gas when trying to start. i give it a pump before i hit the starter. i'll have to check into one of those batteries. seems wierd that it didn't even try to fire, but that's part of the fun i guess. working on them!!!!

I know you probably tried it, but was the key on? Tether in?:confused:

[mrnate400ex]

yup, everything was checked and double checked. i even topped it off with gas thinking it may have been low. checked to make sure the gas was on. i don't have a tether on it yet, but i flipped the stock switch back and forth to the "on" position. i dunno, i'm sure i will get it going today!!!

[Chino886]

Got some new (used) stuff.......:devil:

Yup, plastic quad tech hood!

Still trying to find out about my a-arms and shocks. He had to take off for business at the end of last week so there was some delay.

[xsr_racing28c]

Oh i see.. well just keep me updated..

Ask your bro if he wants a 13:1 JE Piston or 14:1 Baldwin seeing as i'll be getting my DRG piston here soon..

The 13:1 has 8 hours on it and the 14:1 is still new..

~Jay

[Chino886]

I will talk to him, he has a Baldwin that he has not put in yet.

I will ask him!

New endcap on my 06!

:eek2:

[xsr_racing28c]

Looks sweet Dave, now you just need to figure out how much it helps ya with the power...

Got any other tricks in the bag for this one??

~Jay

[Chino886]

Well, still waiting to talk to my a-arm builder!

I could have all the power in the world, but without a-arms and shocks its worthless. :p

Debating a couple other thinks, but blew a huge chunk of change on some bling bling for the g/f for Christmas!

[Chino886]

Well, just talk to "the man", the arms are going to be a MGC style arms that will work well with my PEP shocks I sent him, he was building the arms as we spoke on the phone. He had all the "tubing" cut and bent. The shocks have been lengthened and were ready to be serviced.

Woohoo... :macho

[xsr_racing28c]

Yea i hear ya, I'm doing some last minute shopping on mine tonite.. **** i just spend $670 last weekend on here for a vacation up north and an hour and a half massage.. haha..

Oh well, If i treat her right then she dont get so awkward when I buy some new front suspension possibly come January..

My thoughts exactly!:devil:

Great minds think alike.

[Pred_003]

I personally like your previous set up with those wicked A-Arms and re-valved shocks...... They look great on my quad and the axle will be here just in time for Christmas!!!!! i can't wait to see this new yellow bike your creating!!

[fatkid400]

Nice lookin bike chino but I gotta ask.....are those zip ties holding the front of your hood????!!!!! weres the duct tape at?:devil: JK

[Chino886]

Well, its been a while and I have more part added to my toy, new pics and a list of mods should be up by this weekend early next week!

Just in case anyone cares! (I do!)

Woo hoo!

Have to be done by Feb 17th, big show! :devil:

[mrnate400ex]

You got a race on the 17th??? It's gonna be cold!!!! Down here we have the St. Valentines Massacre that weekend if I remember right. Its a 3 hour harescramble. It can be either Ironman'd or have a teammate. I'm entirely too fat to be doing that myself. The bikes go for 6 hours!!! Last year I couldnt walk for a week after the race!!!

[WhiteYFZ]

how do you like those front tires? those r the trailer tires that i hear ppl talking about? did u ever run anyother front tires? if so, how do they compare?

[TWISTED RM80]

looks great wat kind of nerf bars are they ?

[TWISTED DINLI]

nice quad Chino.

Hey TWISTED RM80 the nerfs are AC, it says it in the sides of them.:D

[TWISTED RM80]

well no da i saw that right after i posted the reply

[Chino886]

Thanks for the comments fellas, it will look different when I am done in a few days!

Should be awesome, at least I think so!

WhiteYFZ-the grooved radials are great on hard pack MX tracks

The nerfs are AC pro pegs!

Should have updated pics and mods by this weekend if all goes as planned!

[IMSROLL450R]

Whats the purpose of an aftermarket hood? Other than looks.

[Chino886]

You said it looks!

What's the purpose of Adapt Graphic as in your signature?

[Chino886]

Finally, I would like to thank V2 Products for building my arms to match the shocks I already had. The quality is great and the welds look great!

Here is a list of changes I went to:

Hipers, front and rear
MXR6s in the rear
Modified subrame that removed the battery box of ER sub
BRM Offroad numbers
From Tag2 bars to Pro Taper
Went from HCII to 04 CRF cam
Removed color off of valve cover
Removed big bulky grab bar

Still to come:

Powdercoat swingarm and a-arms
New front tires
Houser +2 stem to be installed
WER Stabilizer intall
new front brake lines
PCed front shock springs
GT Thunder rear re-valve and MX link

[Chino886]

Last one for now

[Flodies400ex]

well its looking good and is that stock back swingarm

[Chino886]

Originally posted by Flodies400ex

Hey Flodies,

You are correct, it is a stock swingarm, after owning a Roll Design swingarm on my 400EX, I can't justify spending that on another swinger. Plus, I don't see the benefits of a aftermarket swingarm, I am talking about suspension benefits. Sure it may look nice and be beefier, I will be able to get the same travel and leverage and progression after I have my rear shock and link. I currently have a rear shock and link now and I think it works great!

[AtvKid4Eva]

Hey Chino Which cam do you like better? And where do you notice the difference between the two? Are you selling the Hotcam?

[mrnate400ex]

dang it Chino!!! I would have traded you my valve cover for your blue one!!!!! My brother was just down here this weekend and i could have had him switch them out!!! Oh well, I'm gonna have Pappy do mine with my springs. I'm about tired of this snow!!! Once it warms up, we'll have to get together for a ride!!! Are you guys going down to the sand dunes for snake hunt??

[Chino886]

ATVKID-I have not ridden with the CRF cam yet, but I think for my riding style, I will like the CRF cam better. It might be for sale soon, I will be riding this weekend.

MrNate-the guy I bought the quad from just painted it, so I stripped it with paint stripper. I will not be attending SnakeHunt, but my brother and the whole crew from Paola that we go with will be down there. I am tire of this snow for sure, I am ready to ride, we will have to hook up for sure!

[xsr_racing28c]

Well Dave, I am very pleased with how it all turned out!! I can't wait to see that thing in action when you finally get your behind up here to ride!!!

[xsr_racing28c]

what color pc are you going with Dave? My email is being dumb and i can't sign in

[Chino886]

a-arms and swingarm I was thinking black.

frame subframe and grabbar either white, yellow, or red.

[Honda#4]

I think i'm in love with those A-arms LOL!! Lookin really nice Dave keep it up. Hopefully when you get everything all powdercoated and nice and stuff i'll be calling you with a money figure, that is if you want it off your hands when you get tired of it.

Starting offer $7000

[xsr_racing28c]

Well you know how much i hate white frames..:D .. I'd go with white Dave. Looking at your machine makes me wanna throw my white's back on.

A translucent blue wouldn't look bad either, unless you want to stay with red, yellow, and white.

[Honda#4]

If I still had my photoshop subscription Dave I could have did different frame colors for ya.

White and black would look awesome I think, but lately I have seen lots of white frames. I could go black frame and then put my yellow plastics on!
