Title: About time. Post by: klutchbuster400 on February 03, 2008, 12:35:57 AM My father put the egnine back together, and in the bike really freaking fast, So we decided to head out to holeylands for a good break in. I wanted to give the quad one hell of a cleaning after the some what muddy area, and that weak suzuki frame curse finaly caught up =[

Title: Re: About time. Post by: KD 428 on February 03, 2008, 01:53:15 AM Ouch.....Would be a good time to powder coat that frame when its off. On atvriders there is this place I thinks its bk performance, and the guy powdercoats your frame, repairs any cracks and will gusset it for you. He does a lot of good work. Actually heres a link-

Post by: klutchbuster400 on February 03, 2008, 10:55:38 AM Eww is that rust? lol jk you see Honda's don't do this cracking stuff. ;D That's why you had to JB weld half of Danny's case right?Kd- I already tried with the powerder coating thing when the engine was out the first time. Dad said I dont NEED it so dont waste money on it. Title: Re: About time. Post by: Young Gun on February 03, 2008, 03:03:21 PM That crack is wicked.
On another note, the grey Z looks good with that graphics set. Title: Re: About time. Post by: TRX450R_Racer on February 03, 2008, 08:15:36 PM Eww is that rust? lol jk you see Honda's don't do this cracking stuff. ;D I've had Turboderf weld my 450R frame in 5 spots. They all crack if you ride them hard and keep it for a long time. Title: Re: About time. Post by: ~Demon_Boy250X~ on February 03, 2008, 08:47:06 PM Jesse? ride hard? Long time? Hahahahahah j.k. lol and hey don't back him up!!! what you do is... you lie to him lol
Title: Re: About time. Post by: Miami450R on February 03, 2008, 09:04:44 PM See Jess.
I bet it started cracking the time we rode together at seminole. You just couldnt keep up. OH look a battery !! Oh look a seat!! lmao *inside joke. Weight reduction Title: Re: About time. Post by: 1FasterBlaster on February 04, 2008, 12:45:40 AM LOL, I remember seeing a Battery someone ditched because they thought it would make their bike lighter!! And if you stop casing jumps like me, you won't crack your frame...or your ego!!

I cracked my frame many of times, then i welded this kit in, and i swear by it. One of the best long term investments you can do. Title: Re: About time. Post by: TRX450R_Racer on February 04, 2008, 05:39:31 PM Bare Performance Gusset kit. I cracked my frame many of times, then i welded this kit in, and i swear by it. One of the best long term investments you can do. I have a Bare kit on my frame. All it does is move the crack to a different area. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't have bought the gussett kit. Maybe the Z400 kit is better than the one for my 450R. Title: Re: About time. Post by: klutchbuster400 on February 04, 2008, 08:31:01 PM I have the bare kit, It doesn't protect the area where my frame cracked.
Title: Re: About time. Post by: 1FasterBlaster on February 04, 2008, 09:15:23 PM I had the Gusset kit also. Instead of the lower frame, it cracked where the frame meets the steering stem.
