louisiana riders

[bayou boy]

what kind of riding do you like to do the most? if you like running the trails fast wider a arms would not be good unless u went plus 1 with 4-1 offset front rims. good shocks are a big improvement....good port work and a better carb also money well spent. shocks are the best money spent as far as making you ride faster. for 750 you could get some works or elka econos and a gt thunder link and revalve. that would be a major improvement. i had all the money for shocks but kept getting waxed at the drags so i put the money in the motor instead....but all that power really does no good if the quad doesnt handle good...cept in a straight line. i have that problem now in the trees i find the quad has more power than the suspension can handle. better shocks are definitly in my future....as far as the chart i think they had size comparisons posted here a few years ago...try a search in the powertrain section they have alot more info. i really never fooled with the dynojets much. i prefer the kehin jets...no odd sizes and ez to get individually

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I just got three of the 4 exhaust studs off, they came out sooooooooo easily, but the problem is....I got the nut stuck on the stud!

[bayou boy]

got a vice???

[CHEVYZ]

Yes, I agree. Suspention is definately a must, but pick what you want wisely. I don't regret doing my engine work, I spend most of my time in the dunes and need the power, but I do regret not doing my suspention.

If it were up to me, I would do basically the same setup as Timmy. I plan on ordering a set of Works or Elkas, getting my rear shock rebuilt and ordering the link for the rear. That is my plans for the future, but my riding consists of mainly trails and dunes. What do you plan on doing with yours?

Long live the dinosaur haha.

[bayou boy]

when u put the new ones in use a lil never seize. looks like it may rain sat:(

The one tool I need the most and I can't find it, haha. I have channel locks. Lots of channel locks. I got the ratchet and 12mm socket on the nut, and (not caring for threads because im replacing the studs) the channel locks on the threads and "attempting" to get it off. It just slips, nothing works! I need one of those things that mounts on a table and you a lever and it closes, I forgot the name of it.

What's a good way to install them? The same way I got them out?

[CHEVYZ]

It better not rain. :mad:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

The channel locks worked, my hand hurts though.

Are any of you guys left handed? Just curious. I am.

[bayou boy]

get 2 nuts and put them on the studs...then tighten the nuts against each other....put a lil never seize on the threads and screw it in the head with the wrench on the outer nut....when it is in break the 2 nuts apart and remove then....never seize the rest of the stud and do the next one.....why reuse the old nuts if you are buying new studs....buy new nuts too. my dad always used to use this on me when i was growing up.....it doesnt take any longer to do it right the first time than it does to @#%#$! rig it. meaning to do it right the first time is better than having to re do a half *** job......works for me:D

[bayou boy]

i have always been a lefty.....but i can do most things with either hand.....i think we will go rain or not

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Same. I'm going to the spillway Friday, rain or sunshine.

[Mc. Muffin]

Damn it!!! My paps cant find time to bring me to LA Dunes:grr: I'm not complaining thou, I hate wet riding:p Maybe next we can arrange a ride when it's half a** dry:chinese:

Just wanted you guys to know...

You guys have a nice ride and a Happy New Years!

[CHEVYZ]

Sorry to hear that you won't be making it Mc. Muffin. Have a Happy New Years anyway!

I started getting ready this morning. I still am not sure if it is gonna be worth my time to cam the 05, but I picked it up and added paddles. It is ready to go anyway....the 400EX is always ready to roll, and the 06 just needs paddles. Only thing I still need to do is wait for my exhaust LOL.

[CHEVYZ]

Yay! My exhaust is in. I could not be happier with the exhaust and service I received. For $390 shipped, this exhaust can't be beat!

Can you believe Rossier even sent a sheet out with it giving instructions for proper installation and good *free* mods to help work with the exhaust, as well as setups in general that work well. Amazing.

[CHEVYZ]

I went and snapped a quick shot...came out like crap LOL. Can't wait to see it on the bike. I sense some work ahead of me tonight.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Don't bend the studs :scary:

[CHEVYZ]

Doing the exhaust should be pretty easy. We have done this so many times it has just kind of become easy, the only pain in the butt will be getting the fenders at the tank off. They have a little brass fitting that secures into the tank so that you can secure that fender on, and the fitting just sits there and turns when you try to remove the screw. You end up having to rip the whole thing out and reglue the piece back in. Not really a problem, just aggrivating.

I might need to see if I can pick up some more jets, too. I think that we have used up most of them by now LOL...most are either real small or real large.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I have an idea on what im doing, im going to buy this (http://www.danacreechracing.com/categories/products/product-114.html) and my dad said he would lend me some money to get +2 arms or +3, can't decide.

[CHEVYZ]

We decided just to bring the 05. It will just be much easier, and I think I could have alot of fun on it anyways....I really don't want to end up needing shims for the cam or cutting break in short. We may put the Rossier on the 06, we don't know.

Unfortunately, Kelly won't be able to come until Saturday, so we will leave Sat morning instead of Friday evening.

Those shocks look nice 400eXr1d3rZ. A little too pricey for me being the rear will still need to be set up, but to each their own. I bet they will handle like a dream!

CHEVYZ- That Rossier pipe looks great! Once you install the exhaust on your R throw some pics up...
I heard the Rossier pipes are hard as hell to install thou. Are they really?
Oh I'm not getting my Rossier exhaust I was planning on getting, I bought my CR back from a friend, so I don't have no more money :(

400eXr1d3rZ- I would get the PEPs! Only 595! I would get the +2 A-arms... I wouldnt get the +3 A-arms, because then you will be way to wide and you don't have to reason to be wide... Hell you don't even need the +2 A-arms:chinese:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I might get +3, They cost the same (Wicked Products).

I just wish those PEP's were piggyback rezzies, those look alot ALOT better.

[CHEVYZ]

The pipe looks like it will be an easy install. It is built very well....it reminds me alot of the DASA as far as the way it is built, but at the same time is different entirely.

[bayou boy]

looks like rain sat..:mad:

[bayou boy]

looking up....just checked weather.com and now it say just am showers for sat....yall staying sat nite? i may see if they wanna leave sat and come home sunday

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, we are staying from early Sat. to late Sun. See if they want to stay Sat and Sun instead (up to you, too)...you can probably avoid most showers as well, so more time to spend riding!

[bayou boy]

the fools still wanna go tomorrow....its guys weekend to ride but one of their wives said no go for sun...so we leaving tomorrow:D and coming home sat evening. good thing i chilled another bottle of the brazilian good stuff...may be a long night

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I got my pipe on :D :D It's damn loud, someone called the cops on me :eek2:

I don't even want to talk about the cop stories about the CR lol:devil:

We will still have all Sat just about. Are ya'll leaving kind of early or later in the evening?

I still have to fix one of my breather hoses on the 06. It touched the exhaust and burnt a hole through it. Now it runs a little funny.

Good to hear the exhaust sounds mean. Sparks makes a wicked pipe for the 400.

As far as cop stories...let's not even go there. It has gotten so bad that my cousin rode his Raptor down my street one time and the cops showed up at MY house personally LOL.

[bayou boy]

about 20 years ago where i lived the neighbors were like that....well i had 2 dirtbikes....a yz 125 and a kx 80 so one night after we went out my friend and i each got on a bike and made a few high speed passes at 3 am. what the hell they already hated us because we rode down the street to get to the trails and i was moving soon so we just stirred the pot a lil more....but any way now i am old and a parent and just cant do stuff like that anymore...;) ;) ;) but anyway we are leaving in about an hour...c ya there. u put the xhaust on the 06?

[CHEVYZ]

We haven't, but we may. If time grows short tonight we will probably bring it out there and test before and after to see how much of an improvement it makes. The DASA did much for the 05!

See ya'll out there!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I just realised the one thing I forgot to do, move my clutch cable! I am NOT taking the exhaust off again! It's probably melted!!

Can't I get a 250x cable and it will run around the frame or something?

[bayou boy]

i had to re route mine to fit the hmf...i used a 400 cable. the bracket in front by the cylinder i bent a lil bit then at the upper frame i used a couple of zip ties. just look at it good

[400eXr1d3rZ]

WOW! It fit fine! I just went and checked it. Less than a inch away from the pipe! But not melted :devil:

[bayou boy]

did you ennie meenie miney moe to pick what quad u bringing?? what are you bringing....the 05 and 06?

[400eXr1d3rZ]

What kind of music do you listen to (random question :D )

[CHEVYZ]

Bad news. My dad was forced to work the weekend because they are having a shutdown. We can't go to LA Dunes. I am friggen pissed like there is no tomorrow. Good news is that IF they finish we may be able to make it tomorrow and Monday instead. It is doubtly, though, and we will have to miss the trip with Timmy.

Sorry we could not make the trip Timmy. Hope ya'll had a good one anyway.

Damn that sucks, hopefully you'll make it out there tommorow. Good luck.

[bayou boy]

friday was good we ran till about 1 am. rained later sat nite.....sat morn the creek was waist deep.....we floated the quads across...put 4 people to hold it....people were like f... that but after a while alot of people did it...the creek went down enough to cross at about 3 pm. we had a good time...that head gasket was what it needed.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Do you think this jetting is good, DJ155 main (i believe it's equal to a 172K) and 42 pilot, and 2 3/4 turns out fuelscrew??

Incase you forgot, i have a hotcam stg 2, stock carb, sparks full, 10.8:1 comp piston, and twin air filter, lid is on. It feels a bit choppy when i smash the throttle but it's alot better then when i had the 165K main in.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Anybody got an extra needle/jet holder I can buy? Mine is stripped an that's why the dynojet adapter didn't go into it, so i just forced the 165k main into it. I didn't want it to stop me from riding.

And yesterday i rejetted and i didn't know you needed the adapter, so i screw the dynojet into the holder and i rode it for a while, it felt like the choke was on at about 3/4's throttle, i took it back apart and guess what i find at the bottom of the bowl....yes that's right, the main jet fell out LOL.

[CHEVYZ]

Aww that sucks. I still have my stock carb laying around somewhere, but my shed is such a mess right now it would take me forever to find it.

As for your jetting, it seems like it is pretty close to me.

Just let me know if you find it, also, what did you have to do to get the 450r carb on? Im thinking of getting one.

[CHEVYZ]

It was extremely easy, and some of the best money spent on my quad for performance. Made me realize how much the Edelbrock sucked haha.

The basics of it: Had to grind out the intake boot a little bit to have it fit, cut off a piece of the choke (though I hardly ever use it, necessary to work properly) and put tie wrap on it so that it makes it easy to work with, and we had to make a bracket to move the airbox forward just slightly. I think that is about it. It is really, really easy.

What jetting are you running? Are 400ex jets and 450r jets interchangable?

[CHEVYZ]

Running all stock 2004 450r settings minus a 175 main, and it runs great. I don't think the jets, other than the main of course, is compatable.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Nobody wants to post here anymore? Where did you guys go?

Anyway, I found a vid of State Capitol Raceway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fVvCAO9XdA&mode=related&search=
found this too

[Jap042782]

anybody wanna go to sand hill 1/14/07
or any other sunday we can get together

[CHEVYZ]

We might go this weekend, 1/7/06, and maybe next weekend too if anyone is up for it.

400eXr1d3rZ, I am still here, but I guess that was a given. I am still not on quite as much, though. Those big tall quads are crazy....the nitrous is just funny, though. Bayou boy probably remembers that guy at Sand Hill with the KFX 700 with nitrous asking us and a bunch of drag bikes "Who wants some?"..... it was funny as hell because.

I see that first video is from State Capitol, though. They suck so bad it isn't even funny. Even if I had a full drag bike, I still would not go back.

[Jap042782]

cant go this weekend , but next weekend for sure

[bayou boy]

may be able to go next sunday too

[CHEVYZ]

My dad has to start working a bunch of days starting Sunday, so I don't know for certain yet or not. We would sure like to though, it has been a while since last rode somewhere!

[dmaricle]

is there any real good places to ride around central louisiana

[bayou boy]

La. dunes and camp claiborne are both in central La. forest hill to be exact...dunes is all sand...sand drags and some sandy trails. camp claiborne is woods trails...they have 3 30 mile loop trails camping is available at both

[dmaricle]

yea i live in forest hill. camp claborn is closed for a while and the dude is just so freaking rough but i tell u i have 2 locations that not to many people know about and 1 of them i am about the only person that rides there.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I went hunting, got a pig and 3 rabbits. I'm going next weekend too, I don't have school next monday so i'll probably be at the spillway.

[bayou boy]

they actually started to smooth the sand at the dunes. i had not gone in a while because of the rough sand but i heard they started to grade it so i went for thanksgiving....he graded it...i went back for new years...got there the friday and they were grading it....much better than it used to be.....not perfect but a step in the right direction. just hope they keep it up..


good luck at the spillway ryan. from what i hear with all the rain the 4X4 quads pretty much got the place all tore up

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I'm looking at some arms I found on ebay, LSR +3's for a 250r, come with rotors, hubs etc...not sure if they fit though. I may buy them or get a new set of Fullflights or something. I'm not sure what i'll do.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I just found some nickle plated +2 burgards for cheap as hell. Brand new!

[rebelspeed300ex]

Hey, you guys were talkin about "sand hill", is that Forest Hill, La.? Cause I recently restored a 94' 300ex and I am geting wore out of my property too much cane field! and 4WD's not exciting anymore. I have been tring to get buddys to ride at Forest Hill, and everyone says its too cold, come on guys its Louisiana it don't get cold here! :ermm:

[dmaricle]

yea i am always looking for people to ride with around here. i plan on going to the track out towards laff. next weekend.

no sand hill is in perkinston mississippi...a lil north of gulfport. the place in forest hill is the dunes inc. also known as La. dunes. BTW area 2 in the spillway is closed again due to all the recent rain the 4X4 guys have destroyed it again. looks like it will be closed for a while..:mad: inconsidarate a holes think the whole world should be a mud hole. there is talk of new restrictions....hope it is tire restrictions simaliar to what they have in the national forests.

[dmaricle]

yea lol i never heard of sand hill. the only places you can ride in forest hill are my dunes behind my house txi and la dunes everything else is closed. but if and one ever wants to ride i am always looking for people to ride with. so any riders want to ride hit me up.

That is bullsh*t. Those 4x4 riders need to get a life-the Spillway has gone to crap because of them. Just a big mudhole. As soon as something is redone, they wait until the rain comes and rut it/destroy it again. I wish that they could place rules in the Spillway, the 4x4 riders need a place of their own where they can ride only. You can't find a smooth spot in the whole damn place.

Fun place to ride, but a pretty good drive from your area compared to the LA Dunes or Forest Hills. I have yet to ride in Forest Hills, but my buddies tell me that it is real nice. We will probably be making a trip sometime in the future. Right now we have no time to spare, though, so it will probably be a few weeks (two I am hoping) before we can make it anywhere.

We should definately meet up somewhere one day. Like I said in the previous post, though, it will probably be a few. We will be making it out to the Clash in March for sure...so that is at least one thing already planned.

Haha, to show just how busy we have been, I just put the first tank through the 07. That thing is begging to have some things done to it right now....damn stock bike.

wat clash in march are u talking about? yea my bike is stock to lol. also do u know of and mx tracks around here.

[CHEVYZ]

Where do you live? I haven't been to any MX tracks with my quad yet, but my buddy races bikes and has been telling me of a few around that race quads also. One in particular is in Hammond I believe.

The Clash in March is the Clash of the Titans at Catahoula Recreation. Basically a really killer drag racing event that goes on all weeked. Not all draggging, though, they have pretty much all that you want.

[dmaricle]

i live about 15 min. from alexandria, and i am going to grand prairy mx track this weekend. it is my first time to that track but it is a small track i think but i want to try it cause its only 5 bucks to ride. i also go to breuo bridge( i am sure i spelled it wrong) it is a nice track off of I-10 and it is 20$ to ride but it has some real good jumps for a quad and is well maintained.

[bayou boy]

go to www.sltrailblazers.org look at the threads they have alot of improvements planned but by having to keep fixing what the 4X4's destroy. it has all the improvments on hold indefinitly. i know they have to be getting frustrated they did all that work to have it all destroyed in just 3 weekends. it takes alot of hard work to keep it open. i hope they do some serious restrictions on the utes. they think every lil puddle should be wallowed out to a bottomless pit. i am glad deer season is about over now i can get back to working on my woods track...so far i have a 1/2 mile loop but i want to get at least a 2 mile loop with jumps. i will let you know yall can come ride there. screw the spillway i think i wont be there too much anymore now that i can finish my spot:D

what are your plans for your track?

[bayou boy]

basicly a woods track....xc style. tight and twisty a few straights, jumps maybe a few logs over the trail in a few places. just a place where i can practice and work on my riding. they also have a pasture that is not used except to make hay. i use the outer edges of the pasture for high speed straight and fast turns you slide thru to connect the woods sections. it is probably about 200 acres total. all fenced in so you can only get in thru a locked gate. is in the middle of nowhere....no houses for like 10 miles...serious. and some big oak trees to park under. it is a perfect place to ride. my wifes cousin owns it and alot of land around it. he uses the other land for cattle but not this section so he said we could use it. just during deer season people hunt nearby so i stay out of it out of respect for the hunters....why ruin a good thing not too many people will let you use their land.

[dmaricle]

hell yea i wish i had access to some land near by to just have fun with. sounds like it will be awesome dude. are you looking to put some big jumps?

[CHEVYZ]

That is awesome! Ya'll definately need to let us know when we can come out and help you guys out a bit with it! We would love to come help out a bit one weekend. It sounds like a cool *** setup that you are working on. :devil:

[dmaricle]

yea just let us know when u would like some help.

[bayou boy]

the jumps wont be nothing too big...maybe some lil fast jumps maybe a double. for 2 reasons...i want to make them in the woods because he makes hay in the pasture and the second is i dont want to scare him by thinking someone will get hurt out there. i have access to a tractor with a front end loader so that should be ez. basicly it is about 30 min from my house so i go do a lil work then ride. i was working in brazil when i started on it so i had limited time but now i can finish it. i will probably take the recon out there next sat and scout it alot more. since we had alot of rain lately i want to go and make sure i keep the trails out of the low areas.....want it to dry quick and not get damaged. i like the fact that it is fenced in and no body can see you from the road that keeps people out. it is a rare oppurtunity that i am definitly taking advantage of. if it rains alot i just stay out till it dries. kind of preventive maintence. i also like the fact that the kids can ride without the worry of them getting run over. we just got baby girl a raptor power wheels.....lol. i want to try to get her on a 50 in 08'. will be a great place for her to learn. am thinking about a trip to sand hill next sunday....not this coming but the next. still have the paddles on from new years so i may as well take advantage

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Those 4x4's are pissing me off, they really need some restrictions for them. Instead of me getting some burgards, looks like I'll be buying me a set of +2 housers :D

a buddy of mine bought a set of +2 housers and they seemed to work good he just broke a ball joint on them.

Alright, not this Sunday coming up, but the next one, right? That sounds good to us, we can make this one (finally). :D

has anyone been to the grand prairy mx track? if so how is it.

[bayou boy]

spillway area 1 closing next week on the 24th due to the river rising and basicly it is going to flood it. should be closed for about a month until the river crests....all the snow and rain up north. it usually closes once or twice a year for this reason. last year the river didnt get high enough but the year before it closed for a lil while. one positive side when it floods with the curent running it smooths out the roads pretty good. area 2 repairs will not start until may

You have got to be kidding me...

I guess I'll be riding at tracks until then.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Woooohooo, I just rode my quad near the traintracks by my house, really really dirty. The power of the sparks is just simply amazing, the sound, the echo is awesome.

A couple of my buddies went out there a long time ago and they said it was a blast...and they've redone it since then so it's probably a lot better.

I've got some +2 a-arms for a 250r that I'm looking to trade for some stock 250r or 400ex a arms....lookin for a little cash too they're in great shape. Let me know if you're interested.


Wow that was a hell of a comeback by the Colts!!

What's wrong with a stock quad :devil:

[CHEVYZ]

Anybody up for Sand Hill Sunday? Bayou Boy, did you ever decide if ya'll are going? We will be out there.

kiesta00, how much more plus the stockers are you looking to get?

And don't you know, we are ALL running stock, piped bikes. They are fast by accident.....

[kiesta00]

I was thinking $100 with the stock arms. let me know i'm flexible I just want to swap out these mx arms for some stock length ones and get some money so I can afford a 120 link chain for my new +6 swingarm :)

pm me if you're interested.

Just because we got the lucky ones :blah:

I'm heading to Gatorland MX Park on saturday. If my quad is together.

[bayou boy]

doubt if i am going....starting on my shop so i probably wont be riding for about a month.....i wish my 400 was fast whats the secret? maybe i could put an ltr graphics kit on it that may help

[CHEVYZ]

We went and had fun, they had a surprisingly large turnout...and alot of fast bikes. I cammed the 05 a little while after I picked it back up, and it was running damn fast. It would take the 06 with me on it. No joke, it is making noises again. Everytime we bring it to Sand Hill something happens to the 05....literally every problem we have ever had with it has happened there (and only there) LOL. It is all good, though, it finally gives me a reason to start working on it.

I would have a **** load of pics, but we lost the camera when we were out there...don't even ask, it wasn't me.

Oh, and yeah, put those LTR graphics on and you will be ripping LMAO. They had two of them out there, and someone mentioned that they were fast...naturally I had to line up with them and burn them. It was funny as hell to me.

[kiesta00]

hey chevyz check your email :)

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Guess what I just got :devil:

Anyone know the steps to putting them on? There's so many sleeves and washers i don't know what to do! :eek2:

how'd you get that pic on your avatar chevyz?

[CHEVYZ]

I cropped the image using paint and went to some online photo resizer to get it to a size that works. If you want me to set up one for you, I can do that.

BTW, it is taking me so long because I have to set up my computer to accept pics from my phone. I have a few snapped and just need to get them up.

[CHEVYZ]

I made a quickie for you....

[kiesta00]

I didn't see an option in the user CP for it, i have a pic resized already but I dont see where to up load it at haha

[CHEVYZ]

Go to user CP, go to edit options, then down that page to the very right it will say change avatar. Click on the box. It will take you to an "avatar" page, and you can either upload a URL for the desired avatar or you can upload it from your computer.

I might sell you mine, along with tie rods (if needed). The paint is chipping and theirs a bit of rust here and there but they work great.

[kiesta00]

sorry 400ex, I was talkin to Stephen about the a arms lol.

[CHEVYZ]

I definately want them.;)

I had a problem with one of the grease zerks, it was sorta screwed up inside the a-arm, my friend took it back to his house h'es going to retap it for me.

BUMP GOD DAMNIT!

I went to Scenic Trails yesterday, the lady who we payed to get in was missing tons of teeth :scary: We went with about 20 people or so, they all had utilities except me, my friend Jake and his friend Chris (jake brought me there) Anyway, they had too much mud, stuff we can't even get through, so we cruised around and found TONS of jumps!!! We have 35 minutes of us doing funny crap, jumping, roosting each other etc... when Jake gets his video on his computer he's going to send it to me i'm gonna try to edit some stuff.

Also, I busted my *** 3 times :macho

Are you the blue guy? Those are some really fast quads!

My weekend might be ruined, my thumb is in extreme pain and is purple :eek: But it's not stopping me from riding! Regardless if my finger looks like a purple balloon! If my throttle has to go on the left side then fine!

[TXATVRIDER]

been way too busy. working too many hrs and on time off building a shop in the back yard. lol vacation for the next 6 days hopefully i can wipe it out. we need to hook up and make a trip to the dunes. just give me a couple of weeks to get my stuff knocked out. did your quad always have that plastic? seems like i have saw it before. havent rode mine since new years weekend.

[kiesta00]

Yeah i've always had silver plastics with a blue frame and out of frame pipe.

My friends 400ex is pretty fast , so its good to be able to keep up with him lol. Once I get my swingarm and haulers, It'll be all over for him :)

[kiesta00]

anyone know chevyz's number? I haven't heard from him in a week and need to talk to him about the shipping, so I can get my narrow a arms in and put them on the bike :)

It's alright, the best place I've been to (local place) only 15 minutes from my house :p There's Area 1 and Area 2, area 1 is mostly wide open (some MX stuff, mudding areas, and a place for dragging) area two is trails (closed because of damn 4x4s) i tihnk i got that right, area 1 and area two, i haven't been there in a while :scary:

[mineralgrey01gt]

nice, thats where im going the weekend i get my 250R finished to try it out and see how it does

[bayou boy]

anybody feel like making a ride next sunday (4/1/07)? got my workshop about done and havent been on the quad since new years weekend so its time. the spillway reopened and i hear its smooth so i will go either there or sand hill.....any takers??

[400eXr1d3rZ]

The spillway is great now, where you come out the parkinglot is extremely smooth, I come flying past the corner, slamming through the gears and not slowing down, I can ride now :p

I'm going out there Friday and Sunday is a possibility.

[mineralgrey01gt]

man im jealous! I wanna go ride! But my bike isnt anywhere near done :(

[Philly Boy]

I might be in.

Yeah, count me in. Just tell me where ya'll are going.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I don't want to post a new thread for this so I guess i'll ask you guys about it... It's about jetting. I have a 165K main jet and 42 pilot, at about 1/4 throttle it starts to bog a little, not really bog...it's hard to explain, it starts to stumble a little, isn't 1/4 throttle the fuel screw? I'm pretty sure I should richen the main a little bit, I haven't checked the plug yet but I'll do that soon.

[rafjr00]

Do ya'll get the dirt out before you pull the plug?

[bayou boy]

i usually leave the dirt there to fall in and help raise compression. not...i clean my quad after every ride...nothing i hate more than working on dirty quads especially where things get in the engine. i was going to go ride on my spot and start cutting more trails but since it seems a few of yall want to ride we will prolly go to the spillway..havent saw yall in a good while. ryan did you adjust the needle? with it warming up the motors are starting to run richer. the bog u feel.....does it feel a lil lazy when u shift gears at full throttle.....if so u be rich

[CHEVYZ]

Cool, what day do ya'll want to go?

BTW, I also add dirt to my engine to raise the compression....works wonders!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Originally posted by CHEVYZ

Hmm...I add gas :blah:

[bayou boy]

i dont think we are going to go to the spillway....i am working nights right now and work tonite...sat. by the time i get up and load up it wont be worth it...we are going to go ride at our spot....close to home and i can finish cutting trails. next saturday a group of us are talking about a sand ride....prolly the dunes for a 1 day ride. know anybody looking for a blaster rolling chassis? i got another one to part out.

[CHEVYZ]

Aw, that sucks. We are about to go out there with a few buddies who stopped by to beg me to go and if it is OK we will probably go back tomorrow.

[bayou boy]

how is the spillway since they reopened it? smooth? places to drag? good crowd?

[CHEVYZ]

It is OK. Definately a million times smoother than it was, but it sucks that area 2 is closed. There was a pretty decent crowd yesterday, but the place where they were dragging at was horrible...way better places there, I have no idea why they chose it or at least the path that they took (In the back). The spot on side the parking lot is really smooth, but you get yelled at by the Spillway "Police" for drag racing there.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I'm not going today, I got people to see :p

My dad said there's people driving 100 miles an hour to get to the spillway, and there's a ****load of people down there. That's way too many people for me, I garuntee there's going to be an ambulance by the end of today.

[bayou boy]

went cut some more trails today. i basicly doubled what i had. little more work and i will be done. yall feel like hitting the spillway saturday? a few of my friends want to head out there so that is prolly where we are going

Yes! I'm going! My friend is on his "Kelly-week" (fireman) and we're chaning my valve seals and replacing a gasket, were doing that on Thursday (no school)...Hopefully we'll be done by like friday maybe.

[Mc. Muffin]

Whats up guys? I haven't being on here in like forever:p
I'm currently out for 4 months thought:ermm:
Some of you may already know that I have a bad/hurt wrist? Well anyways I have to wear a wrist brace for 4 months to recover my wrist:grr:
Later

[bayou boy]

dont feel bad...i have not been around much either. working alot and built a new workshop. last sunday was the first time i got on a quad since new years weekend. now its back to riding....u got 4 more months before u can ride again?

[Mc. Muffin]

Yeah 4 solid months:grr: I was actually suppose to keep the brace on over the winter months and I decide not to, so now my wrist got F'ed up even more so I decided what the heck and put the brace back on:p
I might try to sneak in a couple of rides:D

I went today, not many people...but I should be there tommorow, i'll have red troylee pants on, sixsixone chest protector the same crappy blue HJC helmet with no visor (that's what happens your head meets the ground) and sparks full pipe with a bad *** red collar on it :devil:

[bayou boy]

i am thinking there should be a good crowd tomorrow being sunday is easter and everyone is off for the weekend. they still have a decent area to drag? it will be me and 2 of my friends. i got ol yella and they will be on each a 450r black in color.

[CHEVYZ]

We will be out there. You already know what I look like, red helmet now on a 07 450r (black and red). My dad will be on the 06.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

LTR??? lol y would i want a slower quad? it will be either an 06' or 07' honda. jerimiah just wont know whats lurking inside...hey...keep that taper bored carb info between us. that is on my list of things to do but i dont want him to know about it....lol. my wife is taking my 400 but first i need to put a new clutch in it and do the heavy studs then buy a 450 and strip it down.

[CHEVYZ]

Haha, that is great. Awesome choice of bike, I was thinking it would be between the KFX and the 450r. And LMAO about the Suzuki. You hit the nail on the head with that one...we went to the Spillway about a week ago and I stomped one so bad I actually (and literally) pissed him off. Ahahaha!

That is great about the EX, too. That will be a great bike for her once she gets the feel of it. It is heavier, but once you get the feel of them you don't notice it!

[Mc. Muffin]

Get a 450R.... I had nothing but trouble with my YFZ but I guess its because my yammi is a 2005, (electronic and carb issues on that year)

Really, what was the problem? I have two buddies with 2005s, and both ran pretty good up until recently they have had a few problems, but I do not know if they ever looked at them yet. (?)

Well sometimes I will be riding my 450 and it will just bog down and die for no reason, I will wait about 10 minutes and crank the YFZ up and ride it, sometimes it dies later on and sometimes it does perfect throughout the ride. I might have to break down and spend 400 bucks on a new carb :scary:
The electric issues aren't really an issue, when I first got my YFZ I had some issues with the wiring harness with the head lights would work and sometimes they would not but I fixed that problem :o

[bayou boy]

the electric issues may be the grounding. even if it feels tight take it loose clean it and retighten. check this pic out....since hurricane rita they have been catching tarpon in the freshwater bayous near my house. well yesterday i got me one...lol we had 4 lines out trolling in the bayou like you do offshore. we had 2 fish hookup but lost one

[CHEVYZ]

Haha, dayum. Nice catch!

We went to Sand Hill today...damn EX blew the head gasket again. I am not mad, we were running 21" 10 paddle extremes pumped to the max racing up the hill with it (not a great setup, surprisingly it pulled them a little better than the 06 did), plus I had to pull several bikes including of of our buddy's drag Banshee with the biggest damn tires ever on it. hehe. Anyway, it was a fun trip...lots of fast bikes out there today!

Hey, do you know of any places that stock big bore gaskets around here?

[bayou boy]

i find the ex has a lil more bottom end torque than the 450....the 450 power seems smoother all the way across....know how you have to short shift the ex to get the most out of it. i been wanting to go to sand hill but i need to change the clutch first. that 8 disc holds up well but taching up the motor and dumping the clutch pulling extremes takes its toll. i will prolly order a clutch this week so i can head out there. i know of no place around here that stocks the oversize gaskets.....maybe colby can get u one quick.

[bryan70546]

hello everyone just another la fellow checking in to say hi.

[bayou boy]

whats up bryan....where u ride? cool to see another 30 something around. i hear there may be a good crowd at la dunes memorial day weekend. may head up there the sat. want to try to hit sand hill not this weekend but next. hopefully my clutch will be in early next week

[CHEVYZ]

Aww, that sucks. Guess I will just have to order one. Hopefully we can have it done for the week after next to go back to Sand Hill...I will have to have it done sometime in the week, though. I'd love to make it out to LA Dunes, too, but IDK.

Oh, and Bryan's got him an EX, too. Woot woot.

[bryan70546]

i dont have anywheres to ride right now ,just the beaches around here ,and in the country where my parents live ,waiting on a new edelbrock carb to arrive along with a new set of itp tires and rims, high torque starter and some other goodies ,i leave to go offshore tonight and will be back in a week ,by then all my parts will be home and i can start installing everything i plan on going to holly beach when i get back to go camping it looks a whole better after hurricane wiped it all out .i just hope this carb solves all the problems i am having with my 440 .i hope it does because i am ready to ride i picked up a brand new 14ft trailer for 900 bucks yesterday and shes loaded up and ready to go.hopefully when i put the carb on she will idle for me and wont spit and sputter and backfire.bryan

[kiesta00]

Im hoping to go to the dunes for memorial day weekend too, I finally got some 72RO 10extremes and my +6 swinger on there but I burnt up my dam clutches, so hopefully I'll have it running again by that time. Next is cr ignition!! Why dont these mods ever end??!!

[whiteboycustom]

a few weeks back me and a buddy made a trip to martin beach, signs posted saying keep atv's off the dunes, talked to a local cop and he said the beach is ok to ride but dont act like fools and the state made it where u cant ride the dunes between the grass and the beach,

anyone have any input on that??

and la dunes was fun to me even though i had a flat on ym paddle and had to run razor's, i have new extreme haulers to test out i might make it out that weekend

[bayou boy]

yall will like the extremes they hook way better...i ordered my clutch today....$162 with shipping...:eek2: that was the discs, plates & springs for a gt thunder 8 disc. that kit works killer but a lil pricey to replace the clutch. looks like i may get to put a few faces with names at the dunes:D looking fwd to it. may be my last trip on the ol ex...lol i been saying that for a while

[bryan70546]

[whiteboycustom]

wheres sand hill????

[bayou boy]

sand hill would be a good haul for you....it is in wiggins mississippi...roughly about 1.5 hrs north east of new orleans. cool place to ride though. the guy grades the sand about every 1/2 hr or so. it is one of the smoother places to race

[kiesta00]

Is it large like the la dunes or more or less a 6bike wide drag track type area? How far would that be from lafayette?

[whiteboycustom]

ah i see, yea im a good 4 hours from new orleans depending on all the construction, im 2 hours or so from la dunes though, only if barney would get the picture and do some up keep on the place

[bayou boy]

it is about the same size as la dunes but the drag area is groomed and set up for only two quads at a time with a sand berm between them..(safety). in some ways i like it more than la dunes but i also like the 10 wide quad bumping drags at la dunes. add 1.5 hr to how ever long it takes to get to new orleans from laf.

[bayou boy]

quads loaded and ready.....sand hill tomorrow.....any one else??

[kiesta00]

finally got my clutches in but I still wont make it, i'm leaking tranny oil in my stator side cover :grr:

[bryan70546]

well we need to come up with a get toghther ,i have all my goodies on my bike and the best parts its runs its *** off with the new edelbrock carb on it ,just odered the ltr duel exuest kit a few minutes ago ,got my new tires and rims in just have to put them on when i get back from offshore ,put a new high torque starter on it,side scoops , brakes .ready to run now cant wait till i can put on my duel pipes should really wake that 440 up pretty good.:eek2:

[CHEVYZ]

Wow, I haven't been in here enough! What the hell is with all these trips I didn't know about? lol

What have ya'll been up to lately? Not much riding lately, but we are planning on LA Dunes the last week of next month.

[bryan70546]

count me in if you go just give me heads up.

[bayou boy]

more than likely i can hit the dunes that weekend too. we went to sand hill about a month ago but have not ridden since. i have been pretty much at work ever since:mad: :mad:

[CHEVYZ]

Cool, hope you guys can make it. It is always nice to meet with new people-we would love to meet you bryan70546, and obviously Bayou Boy is an AWESOME person to ride with so we definately want you to make it. LMK....hope ya'll can make it.

[bayou boy]

exactly what weekend are you looking to go...got tommys 400 coming in my shop next sat and was wondering if he will be ready to go by then.

[CHEVYZ]

Actually, schedule change....it is the last weekend of this month....so the week after next that we are going. Kind of moved things forward on me...

What is wrong with the 400? The gasket, right?

[CHEVYZ]

Either that, or the following weekend-which would be weekend following July 4? Which would be best?

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I'm not riding until I get my parts in :devil:

[bayou boy]

not sure which weekend would be better as far as turnout. i can probably go either one. we are going to install the heavy studs in his the front left stud pulled. we are thinking about a 13:1 426 while we got it down. he already has the heavy duty rod so why stay with the 10:8:1

[bryan70546]

well hopefully you guys can set a date that falls on me being home .i got two new toys for fathers day well really only one is for me the other is for the misses . I GOT A 2007 RAPTOR 700R AND BOY DOES THT B....TCH HAVE SOME POWER.

Sounds good on his bike...I finally changed that POS Namura gasket for a cometic so ours is good again. Hope it works like the first, it lasted a long time through alot of racing. There was a little scar in the head, though, and that worries me. I tried to shave it down with a file to take it out a bit, and I did, but if it blows again I am gonna have to take it to a machine shop this time...which sucks. Anyway, if you throw his bike together with that piston and those studs it will rip!

[kiesta00]

I'm hoping to go riding the weekend before july 4th too, I just hope I can get my bike running/tuned correctly with alcohol.

Any of you guys have experience with alcohol and 2strokes??

[CHEVYZ]

Not really, ever thought about maybe trying a local "two-stroke guy" like Craig at CP Customs? Most of the guys I know tend to be a little more knowledgable with the 4-strokes as compared to the 2-strokes.

[bayou boy]

i know how to drink alcohol and ride a 2 smoke. they have a guy in jennings named phil he owns motomadness dyno. more than likely he can help you he pulled 3 more ponies out of mine and i got a jet chart for temp and humidity. his quad is an alcoholic and he tunes alot of different quads. he runs the dyno for the clash. very cool guy and very reasonable on price. i cant find his number but may be able to find it on planet sand or atvdirtbikerecreation.com (sicily island site)

[CHEVYZ]

We are gonna go the weekend before July 4, so that would be June 29, 30, and July 1 that we will be out there. There is supposed to be a pretty nice turnout for both weekends, though!

[bayou boy]

ok i scammed to be off this weekend so i am definitly going..probably will have 5 including myself. who all is going and what day are yall leaving to go there. i am debating either fri afternoon or early sat morning coming home sunday morning

[CHEVYZ]

Awesome! We are leaving early Friday. So far we only know about me, my dad, and Kelly going for sure. I am waiting to hear back from Ryan, and two guys with 450rs. Coming home sometime Sunday.

[charger90]

yall going to la dunes this weekend? what about next weekend? what do yall ride so ill know who to look for?

[CHEVYZ]

This weekend only, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We will definately have a red '99 400EX and a black '06 450r with us. Pulling up in an older model green Chevy Silverado.

[bayou boy]

we may leave early sat morning to be there about 10 am. try to block off a little room for me and ashley to set up our tent by yall. loks like my group of 5 is down to me and the wife. we will be staying till sunday also. charger90 this is my quad stop in and say hi

[CHEVYZ]

Alright, we can do that. Sucks about all the people not coming....Ryan has to miss it also thanks to a wedding. All good, though.

[charger90]

yeah if we go it will be sat afternoon i have police training fri evening and sat morning. is it supposed to be a big ride this weekend and next?

[CHEVYZ]

Yep. A bunch of people are supposed to be going both weekends, but much more are coming this weekend in comparison.

[coolkid91]

Any body rides at cravens or camp claiborn?im goin to claiborne july 4th.

[coolkid91]

u can do it lol

[bayou boy]

never been to either but i hear the trails at claiborne are nice....maybe soon

[480r#121]

anyone goin to spill way today

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Was anyone at the spillway Sunday with a KFX450, dropped 450r, banshee, and a LTR450?

[CHEVYZ]

Nah, I wish. I went to Gravity Alley MX with my buddy. Played around out there all day. I would have probably went otherwise. How was it?

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I'm getting 3000 dollars in parts this week or possibly next week :blah:


Shocks take some building time :p

Hey guys I got bored so I created a Yamaha only site. Tell me what you think.
YamiRiders.com
I'm might upgrade the forum software in a few months.

[CHEVYZ]

It won't work for me. :(

Shocks take some building time :p Damn! What are you setting it up for-MX? Shocks are a must out there. I had a hard time with the stockers on the 450r, and they are much better than the stockers on the EX.

Timmy, I wasn't there a few weeks ago :devil:

I'll be going there soon though...my friends got quad stolen and he told me he'll let me borrow his paddles...but they're 10 paddle extremes, it can't hurt THAT bad, eh?

[bayou boy]

chevy was there with us a few weeks ago......u wont turn 10 paddle extremes way to much paddle for a 400

[CHEVYZ]

Yeah, LMAO...that was pretty funny out there. All the Yamaha boys were down.

Ah man, that one guy out there with the blue lights on his YFZ was hilarious.....I seem to remember this conversation...

*"See that, you need a Yamaha boy to start these Hondas!"

@"Yeah, haha"

*"See that, that is when you know you got that fiya! (Pointing to his exhaust)"

@"Yeah"
(His bike stumbles and dies)

*"Uh-oh"

@"What"

*"Think you can pull start me"

@"Haha, so what, you need a Honda to start these Yamahas, huh?!"

*"Nevermind, I don't need ya'll!"

(comes back with a Honda utility to pull him)

@"That looks like a Honda right there!"

*"Shut up, don't look at the name on the side!"


Yeah, the 10 paddles will be hell on your quad. My bike makes some pretty good torque and the ten paddles really kill it. It makes my bike feel like it is vibrating apart, LMAO!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

It'll give me an excuse for a stroker kit and more power!

[Mc. Muffin]

Anyone being to the track in Kentwood?

[CHEVYZ]

I have not, but I know some people who have and they really seem to like it.

[bayou boy]

that fiya in his exhaust got extinguished a few times by the ol 416. that guy was funny....almost as funny as the 502 guy. wish you could have been there for that. the junky blaster drag quad was funny too

[CHEVYZ]

LMAO, I hear you on that! Wish we could have came that weekend. It is always funny to see what and who comes out there....I just can't believe some of the people.

[coolkid91]

me and some of my family will be at the dunes sat. the 28th.Tell me if youll be there.Ill be riding this

[bayou boy]

prolly be a while before i go back that way. although i want to go to wiggins soon

[CHEVYZ]

Originally posted by bayou boy

Just got back from Florida, so I couldn't have gone anyway.

[bayou boy]

cool lets do it soon. my boat will be sold next monday. going to pick up an R next week hopefully. may lay low to learn it before i go there though.....i dunno i could bring both i guess. know anyone looking for a blaster?

[CHEVYZ]

Definately. Nice on the R...I see that you are going for an 06/07, too. Good choice. It will be cool to see how different setups work out, I know that you will make it a ripper. You will learn it through and through pretty quickly.

I should have the 07 ready this weekend, also. So whenever ya'll want to make it out there.

I am not sure on the Blaster, but I know some people looking for a quad right now.
How much are you looking to get out of it and I will LYK.

[coolkid91]
