whats everyone doing to their quads this winter?

[yellowzo3]

hey, not much activity going on in this section lately so i figured id see what everyone will be doing this winter to their Z400/KFX/DVX's ...i saw some people on the site starting their tear downs so i know you guys have to have some ideas as to what plans you have :devil: ...i will probably be getting an axle and a nice bumper...maybe a few little things as well. nothing big. so lets hear what everyone else is doing! we have to get the Z community back in full swing here. seems like the 450's have taken over but i know there are at least a few out there who love their 400's! feel free to post up pictures of the tear downs and current quad also! ill post some up when i get some new parts. :cool:

[rockman]

Well, as soon as I get some time, the wiseco 440 i have is going in. Along with the cams and valve springs. Haven't been riding her much lately so i didn't really want to tear it down. Once it gets too cold to ride its on though. She'll be a screaming 440, just need to find a carb now. Anyone know the best place to pick up and fcr? I really don't want to spring for one from a dealer.

[redrunner]

FCR's are all over thumpertalk and yfzTech..head over there. I also recently saw a couple on Zcentral and ebay.

Mods? Well I guess if you consider Nov. winter..I am continuing with this Z build from last winter.

434 kit to compliment the FCR
Hot cams
DRZe kit
1 1/4" swinger with GT thunder rebuild and link

This should just about do it for add ons then I think I am done until a 450 comes into my life.

Oh and some more powdercoating from Pappy....

[chris75]

i rip my quad out in the winter lol

[mx1791]

ill be sending my frame to pappy, burgard +3 a arms, an axle, lakers, new nerfs, another iron cross, but black this time, front rims, rear tires, skid plate, and other little things. im buying most of the parts now, but ill be starting this in january, so ill make a thread on my rebuild as soon as i start it.

[yellowzo3]

awesome guys! hey mx1791 and chris75 im in new jersey also so maybe after you finish the rebuild we could meet up and ride at chats or something...not many places to ride other than that haha.

[mscottiel]

stroker crank, je custom piston for 470cc, dyna ignition, fluidyne rad., barnett clutch w/ cryo plates, removing reverse and first gear. probably some new rubber.

[TampaBoy813]

Ridding...I live in Florida...its HOT all year long!

[johnsoninc86]

riding, its cold as hell all winter here....haha, prolly gonna invest in some handgaurds, and maybe drop in a drze gasket set and a new cam chain....again. Maybe new valves, seals, and rings while im in there. Thats about it, atleast thats what my wallet says.

[indyZrider]

gonna get the frame pc'd again and anodize some parts as well as new kibble valves and dual rate springs, a 3/4 cam chain and a billet impellar. getting the shocks rebuilt by gt thunder and adding a new houser swingarm. got rid of the blob so a pull choke a tetherkill and new starter button to be wired in. just a few things-lol

[johnsoninc86]

we usually just ride at our buddy's houses, but well occasionally go to slickrock, goose, or over the haspin, abate, or motosupreme. We race alot down at a place called buddha or stone city raceway, they got woods racing there this weekend.

[rockman]

well last night i decided to say screw it! I pulled her into the shop and went to town on it. I decided to go ahead and put the 440 on now, even without the fcr carb. So while i have it apart i'm having all the headwork (cams, drz valve springs, valve guides, cam chain, etc) So hopefully by this weekend i'll have it up and running. I know a little early for a winter rebuild, but i couldn't wait anymore. This winter I'll get a fcr put in, that can be my winter rebuild :D

[pual0101]

Hmmm gonna ride it mostly but we're bumping compression, stock bore cylinder, new bars, maybe a Cam, we'll have to see, just tear it down and rebuild it solid so its good as new

[rockman]

Well i finished putting it all back together today. The 440 screams now. I can't wait to see what a fcr carb does:eek2:

[Chad W]

Nothing too drastic for me. Definitely nees a swing arm skid because the stocker is horrible. Probably just go through, clean and lube everything. I would also like a wider axle and some new tires, maybe Razrs.

[indyZrider]

just sent the frame of to the powdercoaters. its going to be a translucent burnt orange-copper with a clear coat. just got the motor back together now im working on the swinger.

[jonboy]

That color sounds pretty wicked got any pics?

[indyZrider]

its still at the pcers. he had to bake off the existing pc to redo it. ill get pic up when i get it back. should be another week

[KILLSWITCHngage]

First things first , taking off my worn out swingarm, throwing it in a dumpster, and replacing it w a nice new reliable houser swinger. New clutch, maybe oversized gas tank, flexbars, and im goin racing OMA rnd 1

[soberagain150]

for me, i live wisconsin. bundle up and ride it. haha

SE Iowa. I hope to bundle up not quite as much and ride it! However before racing starts up again at the end of February I will install a Pro Design intake, White Bros full E2, and adjust the valves for the first time. :rolleyes: Oh, and I still need to get that clutch cover recall taken care of and I should really throw new clutch discs in as a matter of maintenance.

I'd also like to get the frame welded/gussets/PC'd and new plastic - really want a 1 piece front. The proverbial monkey will probably fly out of my butt before I find all that money though. :(

[soberagain150]

haha lucky, yeah ill be adding parts as well here and there but will still ride it every wknd... just ordered a few parts today actually... handguards and ac front bumper. then nerfs will come. fullflight a-arms. new tires... and it'll nvr stop... everyone knows... its a sickness, but i think i like this sickness :-)

[z400ACDC]

I am thinking about cams.

[wreckdiver]

Hopefully find the time to install the parts I have had all summer. Yosh exhaust, jet kit, intake goodies, etc. Finish up my tripmeter/speedo. But work never seems to let up, so poor baby really doesn't even get ridden enough, let alone worked on. Sure looks sweet though.

[z40021]

Re jet so I can ride in the winter since I cant affoard a rebuild.

[Robbob91]

Well I want to powder coat my PRM cargo rack. Buy a set of PRM side bars and powder coat them the same color. I want to get a set of Acerbi handguards. If i have time and money I am going to take off my stock exhaust ceramic coat it.

Rob

selling the '06 450r...anybody interested

[Dave400ex]

Yes please keep the boxes. Did she get Maier plastic? I may have to pick up the boxes this weekend and see if I could get my plastic to fit, if it does it will be for sale right away. lol
