Armidillo skids instead of what I have now:huh
416 kit instead of new rings.....:(

i would told the 406 kit theres the door...


put on a lt front end and a rear shock and axle with the 1g...

[racerx573]

Woulda got a YZF Laeger Frame instead of an R frame.


Or I woulda got a bike if I had to go back to starting riding all over again.

I would have done suspension mods (a-arms, shocks, swingarm, axle, steering stabilizer etc...) before doing the engine.

Doesn't matter how much motor you have if you can't go thru the rough stuff fast. I also don't know if I would have shaved my flywheel. I'd like to see how it runs without it shaved. Revs quick now, but it does stall easier than it used to in stock form. ??

i woulda built a YZF quad instead !!

[lil400exman]

u guys are a crazy.................the r is the best.............................and jason i dunno dirtbikes are a dime a dozen quads like ours are more rare;)

Alot of things. I would not have bought a scrambler and let it get stolen and lost 6k$. I would have bought a 400ex first. had the motor built to the hilt by legacy or FDO, TCS shocks, arens etc all around, simple stuff that works, now that I know what works. I wouldnt have bought my R, if I did, I should have bought one with an aftermarket frame and powervalve, let someone else take the loss.

[bigbadbrad]

either would have goten a dirt bike, or a bigger sport quad, or would of saved the money for my truck

[Dave400ex]

Biggest thing I would of done is get PEP ZPS front shocks with Laeger LT A-Arms. Then the PEP rear rebuild.

i wouklda stayed with dirtbikes

[jaywoodsrider]

I would have bought a 400 instead of a 300

whys that?:p

[wilkin250r]

I would have shopped around a little more before I bought my R. I could have found a better one for less money. I kinda took it in the rear on this purchase...:ermm:

[heavy_d]

i would have got a louder slip-on for my zilla then its bark would be just as bad as its bite.

[Rip_Tear]

Other than I haven't modded it, I kinda wish I had built it from the frame up. But I know there is no way I would have spend the money on all the stuff I want, just to get a quad built quick so I could ride it.

[remlapr]

I would have never went up to 22" rear tires! I not only bought one set, but then bought another?? The poor handling is not worth the one lousy inch of additional clearence - just buy a thick swing arm skid and take good line around the big rocks - Having 22's has probably helped me make it up and through some stuff easier, but my buddy with his 20" always still make it so I would have too. Going to 22'' rears was a rookie mistake...

oh and Glow Plug - this is officially the most worthwhile thing you have ever posted, good thread!

[tants]

if i could start over i would of collected all of my money first, then rebuild my quad. not rebuild it as i got the money from working...
...thats why my quad has been apart since august:(

hahah thanks, i don't really start alot of thread and if i do they are usually pretty stupid or a repet of another thread lol :p

well i think bikes are alot more fun but i love quads too and ive already built mine if it was still stock id be selling it and buying a crf 250 or 450

[killed300ex]

well if could start again i would prolly buy a 400 worst mistake i made was buying a 300. But it all depends on the days sometimes i almost wish i bought a foreman 450s others i wish i bought a dirt bike but hey ohh well its only money
killed

[toby400ex]

Actually, everything ive done has performed better than my expectations:D

lets see
pep long travel shocks
8" rear rims so I could run other tires besides holeshots(wear super fast)
wish I wouldn't of wasted 330 bucks on a rear shock rebuild

other than that I really havn't done much else mods.
