It's been a long, long process... but my quad is finally done! Well, almost, I just need to fix my FCR, so I'm running the stocker for now. I'm super excited! It's been down for about a year. A lot longer than expected. Bad timing on my part with moving, landscaping, and of course having to get my valves redone a couple times. I tore down the engine, added a 416 kit, p&p, valve job, hotcam, 39mm fcr, hd timing chain, sparks exhaust and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Took it out the other week and it was a blast! It's been way to long, so I'll be doing some catch up this summer. Already have a couple dune trips planned and going to make it out to the track as often as I can :) Everything has been a huge learning process for me. It was the first time for everything. Which is also why it took so long because I tend to screw things up :P All in all it was a great experience and I had a blast! Not bad for a 22 year old girl huh? lol

As soon as the weather gets decent I'll post some more up;) Thanks for all the compliments. It diffenitly means alot!! I got about 1 days worth on the Motowoz shocks. I need to do some tuning before I can really comment on them because there pretty stiff right now. Diffenitly different then my Elka Recs I had before. I don't know what to do with all these adjustments:eek2: lol I still need to figure that out. But they look amazing! And there great people to deal with.

That is a sweet ride!!

06-07-2008, 01:08 PM
the 450 is too much bike for my style of riding...i need to be able to lug around like i could on the 400ex...i hardly ever get out of 1st gear on the trails i ride...and i can be just as fast on a400ex through them as i can on the 450r...

Congratulations on a job very well done, great to see a girl twirling spanners, hope mine turns out half as good!!

Well thanks!
Mines sick right now ,1st time IVe ever had a lick of problems with her since Ive owned it. Im hoping its just a bad stator,we have checked everything else and everything checks out to spec.
Were having my Daughters motor builder check everything over and test the stator .
