2006 Suzuki LT-R450 QuadRacer

Yes yes I to know the rules, but rules can be changed. I recall when 450R came out and the Pro Production class became the PRO class, the rules were changed to allow that quad to compete in the series, before the limit was 440 and that is why the yammie was only 439cc. so rules can be changed to allow for a possibe number plate move or to allow the jersey or chest protector number to be accepted.


OR THE BEST SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

:devil: NOBODY BUY ONE OR RACE ONE:devil:

just kiddn' to each his own and I ride and bleed RED

I know its a tough concept to grasp... But there is more than enough room before you bottom out. There is only 10" of travel. Even this plate shown can be shortened up.

..ps: who's arguing? I think a good debate about the pro's and con's of an atva rule is healthy and should be debated - Thats the only way we can know for sure what is needed and proper for our sport. Is that so bad?

Wow, there is a lot of bit$hing going on. So it is 49" wide stock, I garuntee it has 3+2 offset wheels, that means when you put 4+1 rims on it it will bring it down to 47." Oh wait, putting 4+1 offset beadlocks on an XC quad will be out fo the norm! It will also reduce bump steer! Making it a + for even the Xc guys if they ever pull their head out of their @$$! How many Xc guys race with stock tires? So quit *****ing they have 18" tires!

Who cares if the frame breaks and needs to be gusseted, it will be just like your precious f*cking Honda POS'!!!! HAHAHAHA Now that is FUNNY!

So lets review - EFI quad (hopefully tuneable), stock with LT (which I will argue after this), XC guys have to put different rims/tires on it to race, which they are going to do anyway. for once MX guys don't have to put $2500 into a front end to get a good riding set up, just tires. Both Racers are going to have to put number plates, nerfs and akill switch on the bikes.

LT shocks- Whoever said they should be called longshock is def. correct. It is not that they give you more travel, but the longer shock body really just adjusts the pressure on the shock, making the compression curve smoother so it is softer on top but more resistant to bottoming.

Now continue to fight amongst yourselfs.

Tim Farr has no gussets on his stock frames because he doesnt find it necessary. Either that, or maybe he just has a new frame every race, which would be believeable. But the rest of your post is right on.:macho

HOw often does Timm Farr come up short on a jump? I think we can be pretty sure that the frame gets stressed more when a racer comes up short or overshoots a jump. I have only seen pro's on TV, an dthen they looked very smooth. When you land right it is a smooth landing and wouldn't stress the frame like a flat landing, or even casing a jump. I wonder if Tim's practice biek has a stock frame w/o gusets?

At all the races I have been two in the last two years I have yet to see a 450R with gussets, but nearly every z400 does, I thought I read some where that the frame was developed with the help of Tim Farr so that it would be strong enough not to need gussets
