Codys shake down ride.....

[Pappy]

We picked up the quad from my brothers on the way to wvspeedfreaks house for his sons b-day party. Kevin couldnt get it running and after 30 minutes tinkering with it, I figured he had fouled a plug. The dial-o-jet doesnt allow use of teh choke(until i snipped the lever....lol) so I am sure it fouled this morning when he tried to fire it.

When we got to the party, Jason had the quad out of the truck and a new plug installed and she fired.

[quads14589]

how are those dial-a-jets? i was thinking about putting one on mine.

[Pappy]

a few laps with a borrowed helmet, a few tweaks to the camber and toe and cody could atleast be able to run her for a few minutes to see how she felt.

[Pappy]

cody couldnt do much more then give her a bit of gas in 2nd gear on Austins mini quad track, but it was enough for what we wanted to do.

The shocks do seem to be working very well, bigger jumps will tell the tale, but I think C&D has us hooked up.

[Pappy]

The 60 degree day had turned a few corners into slick and muddy turns:p 60 degrees was fading fast as the sun set

[Pappy]

Cody was happy to get a chance to throw a leg over his quad

[Pappy]

He will get plenty of seat time as soon as we finish this project up

[quads14589]

how is that dial-a-jet?

[Pappy]

I will say this right now, the CFM oil tank saved the day. The left side drain plug backed out:eek: If it werent for the extra oil it holds, we would have toasted an engine

how do you want me to tell you how a product works when this is a shake down run without going past 1/2 throttle or higher then 2nd gear:confused:

[Pappy]

The walsh arms work well, cant wait to see how they do wfo!

[Pappy]

I know cody didnt like getting his new atvriders hoodie muddy:p

[Meek]

Nice picks as always

[Pappy]

With oil pouring out, and way more muddy then we needed to be, we packed her up and started searching for the drain plug. Found it, looked like he lost it on the last 50 feet of track on the last lap. Thanks CFM, and thanks to the big engine god that wasnt wanting to grenade our lil' 400 engine on this day:p

Now its clean up time, and get out the tools to start checking over everything. I have a few more tweaks to do to the quad, some graphics to add, install the Tinner scoops and then we can hit Breezewood for some real fun!

[yellow400ex05]

lookin' great Pappy!

hows the HMF? did cody notice any more low end or acceleration?

[Pappy]

he said it was crisp, but he didnt get on it enough to see just how snappy she is. ive used them before, they work well

[Pappy]

A special thanks to Jason, April and Austin for inviting us to Austins b-day party! We had a great time.

Happy 8th birthday Austin!

Some of the best folks you'll ever meet right here:p Proud to know them and have them as members of our site

[Mxjunkie]

The 400 looks sexy as hell :macho

[wvspeedfreak]

Glad to have you guys over today Kenny.The engine gods were definately smiling on the 400 today :eek2: The suspension looked really good from what I could tell....I'm sure he will give it a real test at Breezewood.Austin said to tell you all thanks again for the presents!!

[JRP]

awsome pics pappy, cant wait to dice it up with cody at BPG. cody looks like he has the hang of that 400 pretty good!:devil:

[HondaEXrider22]

Hey pappy - how many quads you have?

[Pappy]

3 or 4 i think

[BlasterEaten250]

I love the 400:cool:

[400eXr1d3rZ]

What arms are those?

walsh, he already said that, if you read the thread:o

[hardkoratvmxr]

that thing looks badass and it looks like cody isnt rusty for bein out for a lil while. is cody going towards more mx than xc this year?

[PolarisRider]

are those 18inch turfies?

[cletusEX]

Quad looks real nice. Don't worry I've seen many a 400ex finish a XC race with no oil plug or an oil tank filled with water mud!:eek: Those engines can take a beating and then some.

[MX MaNiAc 06]

The 400 looks sick!

[Pappy]

this is his mx play bike, he isnt old enough to race it.

he has his 300ex for xc if he wants to race

[NPelletier]

looks awsome man:devil:

yah, isnt it he has to be 16 to race his 400, and like u said, hes going up to a 450 in a couple years more than likel;y as well so, he might never race that 1 lol:rolleyes: ;) :p :macho :chinese: :D :devil: :blah: :)

[firefighterjosh]

Awesome picks. I am getting that exact bumper for my 400. Its sitting under the xmas tree:( But I decided I am getting black rims. That thing looked AWESOME!!!

[F-16Guy]

So you're happy with the C&D rebuilds? They do the travel mod, too, right? I've been thinking of sending all three of mine in, since the rear has never been serviced :eek2: . I'll be getting a nice fat equity check pretty soon, so maybe a little of that will find it's way into my ATV slush fund.

Looks like a nice transitional quad. Cody is getting big!!

The quad is obviously broken.

The young man can't keep it on the ground.

;)

Nice. Thanx for the pics.

[rbgnwa45]

Quads lookin' real sharp :eek2: Those tires/rims set it off.

[YFZ133]

GREAT COLORS, NOTHONG LIKE BLACK WHEELS!!!ONE WORD SICKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:de vil:

[tar]

That thing turned out great!!

[CFM Performance]

Very nice job on the rebuild Ken. I really like the "Stealth" look. Thanks for the props on the oil tank. Good luck to Cody!

it saved the day, and deffinatley paid for itself:p

[Pappy]

finally had a batch of red to shoot so the Tinner scoops got coated and dressed up

[ECATV Raptor]

Hott bike!:eek2: Get some pics of them scoops on there, They look amazing.

[Pappy]

Hopefully by this weekend the graphics kit and scoops will be on.

its 9pm and cody is washing it from the test ride. im saving good pics for when she is done:D

[tp300ex]

hey pappy if there are any parts yall change or something and want to sell let me kno!
o yea how do the tammer hook up?
are they any good and muddy turf

[Pappy]

tamers work pretty good in most areas. they can be grooved for hardpack and heavy loam etc. we run them because they are cheap and they seem to outlast most mx tires in the same price range.

[tp300ex]

thanks i think ill get some for christmas..... also one more thing lol...when ur tore the bike down to the bare frame how long did it take

[Pappy]

it takes about 5 hours to disassemble it fully, thats EVERYTHING....calipers, you name it

[WhiteYFZ]

those scoops are sick.:eek2:

[Pappy]

scoops are mounted.....looks very trick

[WhiteYFZ]

^ PICS?!!!!lol
