ATV Florida Forum

Well I have done a lot to the bike since I have had it, new bars, removed the blob from the bars, bar clamp, full exhaust and so on.  I have a few things coming for the bike that will hopefully be here next week.  That includes rear beadlocks, rear MXR4 holeshots, holeshot fronts, carbon fiber racing hood and my number plates.

Anyway, here are the pictures...have any questions, just ask.

The right side...

Full Rossier Exhaust...

Front...

Handlebars...

quad looks good man  its that a dirt bike kill switch on the bars instead of the stock buttons . cool    how do you like the   new rossier eshaust  .  

Yeah, its a KX kill switch.  Much better than that big blob of stuff on the stock units.  Plus, I am putting in a frame mounted switch to change from hi to low beams, right now I just have it wired to low beams.

I love the Rossier exhaust, I think it sounds meatier than the curtis sparks and supposedly gives better results than the sparks and the yoshi.

Mike

Race cut the plastics!lol,looks very nice man. [smiley=trophy1.gif]

Where did you move the key to?  I know you said it's wired to low beams but is it wired to were they are always on?  My point is how do you start.  I to have a Z400 and I like what you did.  Looks great.

looking good ! hope to see it thunder cross next weekend at the group ride ;)

looks good...I love the look of the pipe...how does it run and sound?

ds650...yeah, I have thought about that...lol

bjf...look at the last pic of the handle bars.  You will see the new handlebar clamp with the three lights on it.  Look straight above those indicator lights and you will see the key.  It is a handlebar clamp from www.nossmachine.com.

dreth...I wish!  I will be hunting this weekend in Ocala.

TampaBoy...runs and sounds awesome.  Had to rejet the bike with a 165 mj, very easy.

Mike

looks sweet bro. the clamp looks great too. i cant wait till i get rid of my 2-strokes and get a z. :D

-mokas-

Hello Moto.  Any word on the track youre thinking of building?

Mokas...yeah I love the clamp. Before I got it, I didnt like seeing all that crap but now its all covered up.

yfz...no sorry, been really busy lately...lol  Plus the other day I went out there to clear a new path and my damn chain came off of my chainsaw so I stopped for a few minutes....never went back to work...lol

Mike

Carbon Fiber Hood...

Well thats about it for now.  The people that I got the rims from haven't replied to my emails, neither has the person with the tires but I will wait another day and see what happens.

Mike

Sucks man...I know the feeling.

Tampaboy...I love that 250R you got there in that picture.  Just wish it had a little more motor work and I would consider that trade.

Mike

Did you lose the key and cant ride it? It looks so clean ;D

Nope, I had just washed it...lol

Mike

Just got home and my new rear 8" beadlocks were sitting on my porched packed very well.  So I unpacked them, brought them inside, now just waiting on the tires...lol

shes a lookin good ;)

Thanx...well last night was my b-day and I now have $300 to spend on the bike...of course, $100 of that has to go to front tires but can't decide what to buy the the other $200.

Rear tires shipped Monday.

Mike

hey  mike  that z  is shaping up   real nice      i like those wheels    it never stops  thats how i started  modifing everything on mine   what kind of front  tires  did  you  get   are  you going  to thunder  cross  sat   its  going to be a good time.

save the money to get shocks and arms...

OMG, this damn thing didn't send me an email that I had replies...doh

I went with holeshots all around, 18x10x8 rears and 20x6x10 fronts.  As you can see they are not on yet...

Here are some pictures of me out back playing around...

First is a little wheelie...lol

Hitting a small jump...

Doughnut....

Yo i have the noss machine bar clamp also but havent yet installed it. I wanted to know how u take out the ignition and the 3 little lights from the factory cover?

Okay thats easy...for the key.  Take out the key, then unscrew the top piece, its like a bulkhead...if you know what that is.  Just unscrew the little top piece on the ignition.  Then for the lights, use a butter knife or like item and put the knife between the light and the rubber piece squeezed between the light and the plastic.  Then just pull up.  Now, when you pull of the lights put them back in the rubber things once it is out of the plastics.  That way you don't mix em up.  Its real easy and that bar clamp is bad a$$!

Yea it is I cant wait to put it on but waiting on some other things to get here to do a couples of things all at once.

Anyone have any comments on the pictures... [smiley=drive.gif]

Yea man nice!! How the in the hell do u get ur wheelies up so high..

Its all in the Z!!!!  lol

Actually, I didn't land that one...lol  I was trying to hold it and continue moving forward for the picture and I hit the gas a little to hard seconds after the picture was taken and the bike stood straight up and I fell on my back...lol

Mike

Before you invest a dime into anything else, save money and get your frame gusseted, my bro learned it the hard way.

Yeah thats coming later.  I will actually buy another frame, get it pc'd and gusseted then swap them out and sell my frame.

Mike

hey mike trade your z for my warrior. think about it. this offers only on the table one time.

My Z for a warrior???  Where did that come from?  I am interested to see your warrior, even though it is a fat chance...lol  Email me some pics...milo0505@earthlink.net.

Mike

hey moto. i'll tell you what give me $5,000.00 and your z and i'll consider it. ;D ;D ;D ;)

I have been looking into one of those dirt bike start buttons and I was wandering how do you choke your Z now ? ;D

oh yeah and sweet pics.

Carb mounted choke from ebay...they are about $10.00.

Mike

man thats a smoking deal if i every have seen one....

Do you want to sell your stock fronts on the Z???

no mudrat...sorry.

Mike

Hey I also have z-400.  I  just finished working on it.  I put nerf bars, +3 lonestar a-arms with ohlins shocks with resivors.  same for the rear plus +4 lonestar axle.  I have a few things more I want to do but the last order hurt the old wallet.  The bike looks great

Decided to just slow down on the MX thing for now....too much money.  So I picked up a set of 2005 Z400 shocks, ya know the ones with rezzies!  Plus got all of my tires on...now I am just waiting on my White Bros CDI to get here, plus Outerwears lid, AC Bumper and Powermadd Handguards.

Here are some newer pictures...I had just taken it out, so it is a little dirty.
