Paint Race Cut Fenders

[hondaracing0144]

I did this on paint but i was wondering what yall thought about these race cut plastics and would they look good or need to add anything, i was goin to put a 250R hood on it too

[XR200R]

Cool, i have maier 1 peice race cuts on mine and im gonna run a oem style 88-89 250r hood with light cut out. should turn out *****inly different.

well judging by how dirty your quad is i dont think your gonna like it that much because most of that mud is gonna be on your face lol someone told me to try this i think it was stunting andy, take your front plastics off and go for a ride if you dont get annoyed or soaked then cut em itll look sick but i have a feeling youll be covered and not too happy at the end of your ride :ermm:

[CODY_M11]

i have mine cut exactly like you want. they look cool and dont flop around but like 2to4 said be prepared for a mud fest. it does ten to get annoying

[hondaracing0144]

well i was going to cut them for the track but i try to ride when i can and it just happend to be muddy

[CODY_M11]

well i cut mine for race and honestly yes there are times when the track sucks and u get muddy but in my opinion the last thing on my mind when racing was getting muddy. if u race i would recommend cutting ur plastics. it helps you see where your tires are going better and just a better view of the ground in front of u.

[stuntin andy]

im not a fan of cutt plastics... just a pain in the *** and i go faster with full plastics for some reason!?!?! lol i think its because it feels like im in something not on something.... just my .02

[m0t0xk1d]

that has to go into your sig

[hondaracing0144]

haha i got another question, im pretty much doin all this like the plastics and headlight removal cause im short on money but what else can i do to help my quad get race ready without spending alot of money

[CODY_M11]

good air filter, jet the carb, tires. tires are a big part of racing mx! uh lets see suspension is really the most important but on a budget i would say the 400 swap if u could fit it in your budget. and get a full pipe if you dont have one already. air flow fuel flow and exhaust well let u run good. and a mild port job helps.

[hondaracing0144]

i got a great intake, im running 20 razr cross in the front and 18 kenda klaw mxrs in the back, my carb is leaking gas out of the overflow line which i heard i need a new one, i also heard the bottem 400ex aarms wouldnt work and you had to get teh 250R lower arms

[CODY_M11]

400 Arms will work. 400 And 250r front ends are pretty identical. Sounds like your set on tires. I use itp mxr6s same size you run. I would def look into repairing or finding a new carb. Could even step up to a 400 carb.

[hondaracing0144]

yea i was thinking about going to the 400ex carb but people kept tellin me it wouldnt be any difference and it would just be a waste of money

[CODY_M11]

think bout that. its a bigger carb with bigger jets. bigger equals more fuel. common sense on that one.

[2to4]

question about that iv heard of the 400ex carb switch and it sounds like a good idea but what do you have to do to the carb/jets to make it work? do you have to rejet it or does a stock 400ex carb run perfect on a stock 300ex engine?

[CODY_M11]

well until u got a bigger head pipe it wont run 100% correct. more fuel means more exhaust. i would leave it stock jetting and then prob drop it down as needed.

[QuadCobbler]

"i got a great intake,":huh

The 400 carb fits right on, you may have a little trouble at first, but just apply a little force and it should slip right in;) I would start off with the stock jets like he siad and go from there. I dropped down one jet size from stock. I have a full super trap exhaust.

[venomrider57]

If i had a 400ex carb then would i need a 400 or 300ex jet kit?
and are 400ex FCR carbs good?
thanks

[CODY_M11]

400jets. stock 400 carb will work fine with stock jets. u wont need to adjust the jets any bigger till you get a bigger pipe and cam and port work.

[venomrider57]

i have all that done to my motor but do the stock 400ex carbs add a good horse power gain. and do they usually act right and adjust good to the 300.
thanks
