Its time again to rip everything apart and start from scratch with new powdercoat, new parts, and more shiney *****. This year went pretty smooth and the old girl held together for the most part so i guess she deserves it.

:macho

Started taking her apart, ran into a BIIIGG snag with the swingarm bolt seizing with the spacers, so we had to cut that out, other than that the fell right apart.

:p

Heres a couple of pics from the year.

..and the ride most recently before she came apart.

Billet Thumb Throttle
Larger oil tank with stainless lines and fittings
Swingarm bolt, and bearing sleeves

Parts on order..

Fasstbars (hopefully)
Chains and sprockets

i ride bikes most of the time, and i just sold my yz426. let me tell u, i got a jrd 426 and it doesn't even feel like the same engine. way more power to the ground with two big wheels. i love the 426. my favorite 4 stroke engine.

I see you still got the warrior :D Your hybrid keeps looking better everytime I see it :macho

11-14-2006, 04:27 AM
the SS oil lines are made up of earls stainless parts, go to their site and youll see the lists and its just stuff off of them once you match it up, and they use the stock fittings to the motor from a yz450f motor..

i will try to cross reference everything and make a list..


and yes i still have the warrior:p

Got everything in from powder monday night, started assembling some stuff.

Brought my motor to my engine builder and had him look at it. Found metal shavings in the oil filter, some aluminum, and some steel. Secondly the Cylinder was showing slight ovaling, and had a few imperfections. And third the crank showed a heat spot on it, probably do to lack of oil from the shavings either creating a drop in oil pressure, or plugging the oil squirter.

Hes tearing it apart on Thanksgiving day and will call me with the report on whats wrong, so im keeping my fingers crossed!

Could it possibly be Baldwin head with porting, Hinson clutch and components, max power ice cube cylinder, and a wiseco piston. (13.5)

Nice bike, but I thought that quadtech did'nt make seatcovers for a 250r anymore.
Is it complete new?

korniev
01-16-2007, 12:19 AM
SICK, absolutely sick quad man! With its weight, it would probably give you like around 45 hp if not more! Please post some pics when you'r done!

xrxmxcx
01-16-2007, 12:38 PM
thanks guys, the seats are no longer available, i picked up mine from a user on this board parting his 250r

and i love the light weight of my bike and the geometrics of it, stock the yz426 has a claimed 47 hp, so after the head, piston&cylinder, cams, new valves, etc.. we should see what she turns...:macho
