well, I got it all together and plastics back on.
I got a 39mm FCR in there now, in the one pic, its an aluminum plate shaped to sit on the o ring, then a fitting with a slight flange, and the outer aluminum plate clamps the pvc to the first plate, and air box goes to the pvc, it will recieve the flo commander one day but didnt want to drop another 150 bucks right now, so this will do for the upcoming trip to reedsport, OR.
I also installed a new steering stem and bars since I bent em during race season. put on soem tall bars cuz Im standing about 95% of the time im riding out in the dunes.
dirt tires just on to ride around and play with jetting this weekend(front tires look wrong to me but the directional arrows say its right)
I bought a used YFZ thumbthrottle/cable setup to work with the carb, and I did like the "yamaha" badge on the thumb throttle so I ground it off and sanded it down from 180-1000 grit and polished it, needed to bleed the brakes anyways so I took the resorvoir cap off and grinded it down til the embossed warning label was gone and did the same.
to clear the carb I got longer bolts and spaced the tank up about 1/4" but it makes the seat sit oddly and the fuel shutoff isnt centered in the hole anymore, so i think Im gonna do the heatgun trick and push in the bottom of the tank in a bit.
also it runs good but if you stab it it wants to die, kinda like the YFZ does, but alot worse. I ran it at 52/180 and it ran decent but really rich and klinda sputtered when you nailed it, jets hadnt gotten here yet so I dropped it to 42/168 which is what I had and now it bogs bad when you nail it andf pops alot, so now its lean. jets got here this afternoon though and Im playing with it this sunday when I take it to a buddy of mines property.
feels pretty strong though just riding around the ~400 sq. ft. back yard.
hopefully Ill do good down there, racing my girls 04 YFZ-DRD/K&N/1Tdown. that was my main goal, another guy just got a 07 though, full gytr titanium system, K&N, stock gearing I think but hes got skat trak edges. I got geckos, I was gonna buy some extremes, but rockymountainatv is sold out of all the 21's and 22's, and in the 20's for a 10" wheel only 10 paddles, I wanted the 7 or maybe 9 paddle but both sold out... so geckos will be what Ill be running, at least my girlfriends has sand sharks. her dads raptor worries me now also, didnt before but hes got a +2 swing arm and skattrak 10 paddle edges.
her dad has some pounds on me though, and the other guy has even more on me.
