What nerfs did you end up ordering?? That is cool that he cut you a deal like that. Also if we order paddles through him we won't have to pay for shipping which is cool too. I wish I could go to that meeting and hear what they have to say about quads. I know one person can't change the way things are right now, but I sure in the hell would like to try.

Well, Dean and them seem to be getting a little more into the quad thing. We should be able to get a real good deal on the paddles for sure. We got the Pro Armor nerfs for both Vs.

Cool Cool Jay. I'm glad you guys got the pro armors, i'm sure that you will love them. I'm also glad Dean is getting more into quads, because you know he sells more quads than bikes right now. It would be smart for him to help us with this, atleast i think so.

Are you guys talking about Dean at the kawi shop? Hate to tell you this all that guy's in it for is the $$$, thats why your paying $15 for a worthless sticker to ride at a rut infested dump.
The guy wants $15 per year to ride there, that socalled track thats there has been there when I was in highschool and it still sucks.
The people who built the track at the Fairgrounds are the persons who own the company I work for, Gravel Products, I did talk to Halley Shreock(her dad owns the company) about the quad racing thing, she said that the liability was too much for quads than bikes, her son is a factory racer thatsw why that track only gets used about 2-3 times a year only when the factory sponsers are going to be there.
I do have a few personal probs with Dean, first he's an arrogant SOB and he threatened to kick my a@@ one time but he just runs his yap.Thats one reason I'll never give him any $ or do any buisness with them.
If you guys are coming out ahead on this it's only cuz your buying your suff thru him.
I'm not being a dick here or any thing , just letting you know the deal you can ask any of the other guys who have delt with him personaly.
But do what you can, every time I see the punk I'll usally give him a freindly Califonia howdey:devil:

DESDAK4
03-02-2004, 02:38 PM
Now Now Rabid, I didn't say I was in love with the guy or anything:eek: . I also am not paying to ride in that pit he calls a riding area either. However, on my 2000 bucks worth the parts he has saved me over 250 bucks compared to every ware else I could possible find. Believe me I tried to buy outside this state because the support for our hobby blows from ALL dealer and ALL track owners:mad: . I will also give all dirtbikers in this state the California Howdy because the LIABILITY crap is BS and really starting to wear on me:mad: :macho .

O Yeah Dean must have been on some good stuff if he was going to kick your *****. I'm thinking you just might hurt him bad. LOL

So anyway to important stuff. When you leaving for Oregon lover?

BAAHAAHAA!! I dig it, glad you where able to a least get a discount of some sort. If the Sport Shack were still around they'd be expecting some comission off your parts-thoses guys where a bunch of baste*%@ also.
The whole liability thing around here is as gay as the grass, that track up by Ruthville is also a dirtbike only deal.

I'll be taking off on the 17th St.Pat day , I'll be doing an Irish jig the day I leave:D

what you doing over the weekend mabey we should have a beer?and talk about sloths:devil:

Hey NDpredator and Rabidpitweasle, I have been doing some research and have found good news. There is a new race series starting up here this summer called Mon-Dak and it is looking like they are going to run a Quad class. I have a warm fuzzy here, we may finally get our chance:D .

Thats cool , hope there are some decent tracks around. did you see anything about crosscountry type of racing, that would be awsome:D

DESDAK4
03-04-2004, 09:23 AM
There is a Farmers hair scramble in Sep. I forget where but it is in North Dakota. We also have the cross country down in South Dakota too.

NDpredator
03-04-2004, 11:01 AM
Hey Jay that sounds awesome to me. Do you know what type of racing it would be?? Cross-country or MX??? I've been talking to PartsDirect about my HMF that I ordered and they said that is was supposed to of shipped directly from HMF. They are supposed to call me back with what HMF says on my order. Did it show up somehow yet, cuz then i could quit harassing them. Let me know buddy!!!

Hey that is cool with me, I would love to let the pred fly in some MX races!!!!! So who did you talk to to get this info?? I hope it really is going to happen. I'll let you know what they say about my pipe when they call back. later man

03-04-2004, 12:09 PM
Hey Jay if you go to the mon-dak race series web page there are a couple of phone numbers there to contact people at. Have you tried to call them and get some info on this? I have a feeling though that there will probably on be 1 class and that will be an open class. No complaints from me though.

derrick

All the current info is on CYCLEHUTT.COM.

03-04-2004, 07:24 PM
Sounds like you two are working that guy pretty well at CycleHutt, If it comes down to it I'll steal a D9CAT from work and some other equipment and well build or own track and them twowheeled freeks will NEVER touch it.:D

DESDAK4
03-05-2004, 06:11 AM
Rabid, I am giving them all they want. If you have a place and get the equipment to build a track I say lets get after it.

Jay

NDpredator
03-05-2004, 09:01 AM
Hell yeah Rabid, if you have a place where you can build a track lets get on it. I am more than willing to put some time and effort into a place where we can ride.

derrick

RabidPitWeasle
03-05-2004, 09:21 AM
I think we'll have to check out that track at Riverdale a bit more, looks like Mon-Dak has no affiliation with it, mabey we can get something going with that. Me getting any heavy equipment from work would be like pulling teeth.

DESDAK4
03-05-2004, 09:26 AM
We would have no trouble taking over Riverdale I think Derrick and I are the only ones that have ridden there in about five years. Our only problem out there is no jumps what so ever :( . However there is quit a bit of area and a starting gate in place.

Jay

RabidPitWeasle
03-05-2004, 10:40 AM
Well' its there and it would be a good place to start, we would have to get hold of Army Corps. or some body else to build up that track and then possibly set up races of some sort:confused:

DESDAK4
03-05-2004, 10:57 AM
When a little more of the snow goes away we should head out to Riverdale and ride it and look around for what could be done.

Jay

RabidPitWeasle
03-05-2004, 01:49 PM
Yep, we'll have to check it out.

Just had my parts for the Raptor arrive , threw in the Pro-Flow still have to put in the jet kit, hopfully it'll move, damn! this weather, can't wait to get to the coast still deciding which to take:confused: :confused: :huh

DESDAK4
03-05-2004, 01:58 PM
Take them both.

RabidPitWeasle
03-05-2004, 02:18 PM
I'd like to, but there's no way to get them both in, I did some measuring to check it outn no go:( .

I was on a few other sites and sounds like there are going to be a few others from ND headed to Idaho.

DESDAK4
03-05-2004, 02:21 PM
Really, what part of the state are they from? What sites did you find them? I found out there is a ORV area down in Rapid City that is supposed to be cool. There is tons of racing down in South Dakota too.

ATV Connection, is where I talked to a few people and also one or two a Bluetraxx. Looked like they lived in Linton also someone from Bismarck. Told them to get a hold of us this summer to ride.

DESDAK4
03-05-2004, 05:57 PM
Sweet, we need to get there names. I met a few guys from over that way last year. If they are the same ones tehy are cool. But we should get together with them and find out when they are heading to Idaho.

NDPRED,
I stopped out to Jays the other weekend and checked out your Pred.. pretty nice I like the chamelion paint on the front , reminds me of the goblin in spiderman, you should get Jay to post a photo.:macho

NDpredator
03-15-2004, 06:51 PM
actually i'm glad that you brought that up because I was out there tonight and finally got to ride it. We took some pics, but they are kinda dark so you can't really see the chamelion all that well. We need to get some pics out in the sun. All I can say about that pred is that people had better watch out!!!!!! I gotta change the gearing now though, I run out of gear in 5th before i hit the limiter.

Derrick (pics will be up in a little while)

NDpredator
03-15-2004, 07:12 PM
i hope this works!!!! I'm missing 1 # plate due to a mishap in the garage, need to order a new set now. Also need to change my gearing because now i'm running out of gear before I rev out.

03-15-2004, 07:23 PM
I think you better put some light on it , can't see much for detail. I took my Raptor out for a spin also the other day, was cold but ran strong, I'm heading to Oregon weds 17th to the dunes, I might also have to change gearing back to stock, I'll have to see what it's like on the dunes:D . we'll have to get together, mabey when I get back I'll bring my turkey frier to Jays and down a turkey and some beverage:devil: .

NDpredator
03-15-2004, 07:26 PM
yeah those pics do it no justice for the detail, i'll get some better ones when it's sunny out.

Well, I told NDpredator I would keep it hush hush but I was able to outrun him about 50 percent of the time or better this weekend with my V. We were going to get some pics of the races but he lost 4th gear in the Predator a little later in the day:( . I guess it is a problem that has been going on with them so now we have to take it all apart again and try again. I will tell you he is looking a lot like this :( :grr: :mad: since we just got it together after the 558 kit. Anyway here are a couple pics of the quads in the daylight. Sorry ND this thread needed a bump and this is all I had to talk about besides, I am sure when you get ALL your parts I am dead meat AGAIN:eek: .

03-23-2004, 06:06 PM
Yeah he's not really lying about that either. When we would race 300ft it was whoever could hook up better off the line, but any distance over that and I run away from him. All I can say is that i never lost a race before or even found someone that could run close, but that VForce gives me ALOT more than I would like it to. Those things are FAST with the right mods so maybe I should stop helping him make it faster. LOL:blah:

but can he ride it in the dunes????

DESDAK4
03-23-2004, 07:31 PM
We will ahve to see in June. I am a long time removed from Oregon so I don't know if I wtill know what I am doing. The one thing I am worried about is it seems the best paddle for the V is a huge 24" hauler at 380 bucks a set and I live to far from the dunes to spend that so I am stuck seeing what sand stars will do.

Jay

NDpredator
03-23-2004, 09:51 PM
ahh a fellow predator owner is on my side!!!!!! Hey we will have to see what that thing can do in the dunes, but i've heard that even though they are big, that they will reek havoc in the dunes. People seem to love that big automatic, especially modded as it seems to be able to climb anything with ease. It will be fun in June no doubt!!!!!!

derrick

Dunesurfer
03-24-2004, 10:42 PM
To heavy and auto trans is not so good in the dunes. I ride Glamis 50+ days a year and I think he will have a tough time keeping up. Even the pred is pretty heavy to throw around I can't imagine a v-force. It makes a good wife's quad for the flats;)

Natertot426ex
03-24-2004, 10:43 PM
Hey Tony how's it goin? You coming to this thing right? I am sure hoping to!

NDpredator
03-24-2004, 10:58 PM
Hey Dunesurfer I'm willing to bet you that that VForce of Desdak's will outrun any stock to mildly built predator or anything else for that fact that is in the dunes for that week wether it be on the flat of up choke cherry. People that HAVE rode the V in the dunes LOVE the auto trans and once you are on it you don't really feel the weight. Desdak will have NO problem keeping up with anyone over there. I wasn't a believer in the VForce until I saw first hand what one can do with some easy mods.:devil:

derrick

DESDAK4
03-25-2004, 06:30 AM
Well Dunesurfer, I used to think you were one of the more nicer, open minded guys on the board now I wounder:rolleyes: . I have not ever had my V in the dunes but, I have talked to hundreds of guys who have and it does great. The only problem I may have is the best tire for hook up is to much money for the amount of time I get to go to the dunes. I can say for sure my quad is no wifes quad for the flats!!! Besides if you add my 150lbs to my V I end up equal to most guys on lighter bikes. I thought this was all about people having fun anyway not bashing a quad you haven't even seen in action before we are even all together for the ride. Anyway I am not all that worried I am not going over there to win any racing championships or anything it is all about fun to me and the rest of you can think what you want. I have not been on a quad in the dunes since I was 13 years old and am now 31 so, if anything hold me back it will be simple lack of riding the dunes unlike the guys that are on them all the time.

Thanks NDpredator, I guess we will just see!!!!

Wow guys take it easy, I was just teasing;) I'm sure it will be fine. After all it is all about having a great time (trust me you will) and riding with friends. Sorry if you took offence, I owe you a beer..or three. That 700 will make it up choke easy. Truthfully I have ridden with a v-force and it hauls in drags and hill climbs. Ripping through the bowls,jumping and mx type of riding it has a little harder time. Plan on riding hard, tina's(quadjunkies) husband Troy rips. You won't have any trouble with a old guy like me.
Good luck on your sand tires, You will want them at Saint A's. One of my buddies just bought the sand stars and hates them. How about some sand sharks or kenda trackers, both are cheap and I have friends that like them. Stock front tires will work fine. I am looking foward to meeting you guys. We had a blast last year.


Hey Nate!!! Are you going? Maybe we could meet up and ride little sahara.

DESDAK4
03-25-2004, 12:41 PM
Yeah, I got a little defensive as I have been called a few names I will not repeat, lazy, and told that the 700 is nothing but a fat old man or wifes bike here in the last few days on here and it is starting get to me. Most of the time that don't bother me because I know this bike is awsome but, when you get it on every post you reply to it just gets old.

I am really looking forward to this trip but, you shouldn't talk about beer because if we start the beer to early we will never ride:D . I hope to come out of this trip with a bunch of new friends and good people to chat with. I will agree that the V does not really stack up in woops and jumping (atleast on stock shock).

What is it that your friend does not like about the Sand Stars? This is the first set of paddles I have ever bought and am just tring to get the best I can while keeping cost down since I only get to the once a year or so.

What paddles do you run on your Predator?

Jay

Dunesurfer
03-25-2004, 06:53 PM
Hey Jay,

My friend with the sand stars says he doesn't like the extra wedge paddle between the regular paddles. ( basicly the same design as the Gecko's) It kicks up too much sand and does not slide well. I run the sand skate II"s on my pred and really like them. They are a little more $$ though. I really think the best for the money is the sand sharks. I have ridden several quads with them and the perform very well. If you are going to get better go with the sand skates, or haulers.

I know what you mean about everyone here putting down anything but Honda. They are the same with the predator too. I was just having fun with you. All that really matters is you are happy with your quad. Hard to not like a 700 v-twin:) I wish it would have come out with a manual trans, I might be riding one myself. Not to worry about the beer, I can multi-task. Ask quadjunkies. By the way her and Troy are great. One thing about these trips, there are riders of every ability. It must be fun or I wouldn't be willing to drive 16 hours to get there.

Well I gotta go pack up for Glamis:D ;) :devil: :) Later

Tony

DESDAK4
03-25-2004, 08:32 PM
I am glad I still have a couple months to decide on a paddle because I just can't decide what I want to do thanks for the info thou.

I really like the Predator, it is what I wanted when I got rid of my EX but, I have a reacuring problem with my wrists that may require surgery again and the not shifting really, really helps so I went with another V and have not been sorry so far. Tina seems very cool and I can't wait to meet her and Troy. I think she will get along very well with my wife. Believe me I have done my far share of multi-tasking also so, I figure we will be fine. I have between 14-16 hrs to drive from ND to over there too but I am as sure as the day is long that it will be the best vacation I have taken in a very long time.

I really envy you guys and going to the dunes all the time:( . My buddy is over in Oregon riding now and then is stoping down in Cali and then maybe stopping at ST. As also. He likes to rub it in by emailing me pictures of his days:grr: :mad: :macho .

Well guys, good news I finally got my quad put back together after losing 4th gear. I'll tell you what though, some of those damn nuts are on so tight from the factory that it's unbelievable. I sure hope that nothing bad happens to my predator again, but if it does i know all the ins and outs of that thing now so it won't be no problem:D I also thought that this thing could use a bump back up since nobody's said anything in awhile. Can't wait to get down there.

Glad to hear you got yor pred back together:D I think it's a bunch of crap you have to rebuild a tranny on a new quad.:mad: I'm trying to get everyone to write a letter to Polaris to complain and demand a recall. I already wrote one and so have many others from other Predator forums. Get everybody you know to make some noise. Mabey it will help. Can't wait to meet up and ride St A's. I'm off to Glamis again this weekend, There is only a month or month and a half left of desert riding this season. I'm trying to go every weekend:D

It will be good to meet you guys. I am a Oregon boy myself. You will like the dunes at st A's. I have not ridden the Oregon dunes but ride I Glamis all the time and both are good. I might try to visit my family in Medford this summer and head over to the dunes from there. Nice quad by the way. I loved my elka's. I had them on a 400ex and they worked great.

It's getting pretty close:D I went to Glamis this weekend to test my shock set up. It was sweet. Nobody there and ninty degrees. Smooth sand as far as you could see. I caught a flat landing after a 40 ft jumpoff the top of a dune and payed with a broken helmet visor and some really sore ribs. Not cracked, I hope. I am getting to old for that stuff:(
Quad ran good and the shocks were much better than how they started. It's just about ready to go and so am I.

Talked with my aunt, and she said she will be able to get 5 days off from work. So we were thinking about leaving after she gets out from work around 3pm, driving til 12 or 1 and staying the night somewhere; being there as early as we can on the 18th. Riding til tuesday, and leaving late in the day after riding... getting home on wednesday with a day for my aunt to rest before going back to work. Seems like most people will be riding from the 18th-22/3?

I'm gonna go through it all today and hopefully i can find out the problem. I also just got a new set of hipers in for it, but no sense putting those on when it's not running either.

If i just touch the start button and pull off of it real quick, it will spark some, but if i hold the ignition down so that it will turn over a bunch of times then there is nothing. It sounds really strange, so if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!!

after the CDI there is a 3 wire plug. Red(power) Brown(ground) Black(engine kill) Well I bypassed the black wire by running a jumper wire and then it started right up. What that means is that either that black wire is broke somewhere, ignition box is broke, or my engine kill switch box is broke somewhere. I think it is the ignition though because when i rolled it the stem was bent into the tank which bent that ignition box right under the key hole which is bent and tweaked. But until i find out what exactly it is, i'll just keep that black wire bypassed so that i can ride.:blah: I'm getting my hipers on right now too:macho Well can't wait to meet you guys.

Also one more question for you guys tina, what gearing are you guys running for the dunes?? and what size and type of paddles are you gonna be running??

25 gallons is good..My friend has a 310ESR also and he took 15 gallons of trick. We went for 4 days and he did fine. But if you guys are going to be hitting Choke up once a day or twice or drag racing then you will burn gas easy. let's see.. Going to choke and back will burn one tank on the 310R..oh yeah that's racing up choke twice and adding a gallon of trick up there...The good news is that he ran out of gas in the whoops section but he still had reserve. Hopefully that will help anyone out with the 2 stroke.

Well tony offered me a room too. I have me and Rob coming for sure and I talked to my neigbor last night and he will let me know today sometime. hopefully if not I will know monday.

I pulled the valve cover off mine last night because of the Hot Cams thing. I had to look at mine to make sure it is doing good. and it was so that made me happy plus I have the steering stem out waiting for my new one. Once I get that in it will be ready to go. I guess I should change the oil in it too before I go.:D

oh as far as dbs go they dont have a limit but if u have a loud quad with lets say drag pipes they want you to idle through the parkng lot.
they require spark arresters but its not enforced there r signs but they dont really care that much we use to have a drag banshee with straigt pipes with no silencers or spark arresters and the cops just told us to idle in the parking lot.

Thanks racer, that will help me alot with bringing gas:cool: I am very heavy on the gas.. and will be dragging alot most likely, so I think I'm going to go with the 25. That trip and back is on a stock tank? I'll have 4.. so it sounds like I'll be able to go from 1 end to the other with no problems; very cool.

I'm looking forward to riding with some other 250R's.. only got to ride with another R rider once... so I'll be finding out just how far I've pushed my bike... and what's left to be pushed :devil:

Your bike is going to be a killer out there. Are you putting your race dome in? my friends R was killing everything that came up to the table for that week.(Banshee's,Pretenders,R's,my poor Z,450) hey Tina where are you staying at?? I really don't want to read 29 pages to find out..I might hit out there for 2 days, if I can get a day off.

I hope so, I'm usually pretty average at the drags. Resolved some problems I had with drag races I've done before. When I did poorly it was with a shift shaft/shifter with 1 inch of slop in it, gearing that was way to fast of shifting (13/39, now I have 14/38) so now my shifting is more broad. Also with the ignition system and finally an aftermarket reed cage I should notice more top end.:macho
Also I usually have a big problem wheelying.. so I always half to back off the launch a bit... again, hope the gearing will help some. It seems like St anthony's will have a ton more long distance drags (the better to get into 6th with :blah: )Just hoping everything will come together well with my bike now.. and I can actually tune it half decently lmao.

We were wondering if there are any plans for everyone having lunches or whatnot at St A's... and whether everyone is providing their own or if we should bring some stuff to share with everybody. Also if there is anything else that we could bring along to share in the group...:confused:

We will be leaving on Thursday, most likely around 12 in the afternoon. We should be there as early as possible on Friday. We were planning on heading straight out to St A's unless we get there in the morning; in that case we will check in first.
