Title: Finally...something to ride!!
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on August 12, 2008, 08:40:29 AM
 Finally...something to ride. I went last night with American Robster to Naples to purchase a 05 YFZ anniversary edition. It's stock except for the JE piston, jetting, and exhaust, but it's a 450!!WOOHOO!!
   I might try to go to Croom Sunday to try it out.

  Took me about 4 hours to change fluids, clean filter, heat wrap the exhaust, sand and paint, and wash.

Congrats on the new bike! I guess things got a lot better for you financially which is even more awesome. Glad things worked out for you where you had the $ do do this.  :ThumbsUp.gif

Cool!!

   I stretched the finances, but if I didn't buy it now, who knows when I would be able to. Now I just hope the way the economy is, I'll be able to keep it.

Killer bike!!! Me and the crew will be at Croom on Saturday if you can make it. We'll be parked in the front pit around 8:00.

 I can't go Saturday. My Daughter's school is having a meet the teachers day.

pretty sweet even though its a yamaha.

btw, idk if youre worried bout it but them mothers powerballs work great on aluminum with the mothers aluminum polish. im sure your engine would look great with a lil of that. other than that stained clay or whatever it is, looks great and clean. (im not knockin on your bike just lettin you know that the stuff works. ive had stained bikes like that too).

Nice ride. We talk up at the Motoplex back in March. Your buddy brought your little girls quad out to the park and parked right next to us. I had the Blue yfz with the blue hypers that your friend was mad cause someone else had the same color rims LOL. Good luck with it. We have to get together at croom and ride.


Title: Re: Finally...something to ride!!
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on August 15, 2008, 06:00:05 PM
 I'm probably going to be there this Sunday. You can call me if you want to meet up.

Can't go on Sunday. I'm going tomorrow. Maybe next weekend. My brother is getting his KFX400 back from Mike at ATP some time this week. The bike is a 434 know. He thinks he can keep up with me now ;), will see.


Title: Re: Finally...something to ride!!
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on August 15, 2008, 07:14:05 PM
 Don't underestimate those modded 400's, they can be fast. I actually wanted a modded KFX, but I couldn't afford it. It's also not the quad, but the rider!!

That is true. Its all about the rider.

With the bike coming back from ATP.. Expect it to run like a champ..Dont be surprised when it pulls on your 450.

Post by: 1FasterBlaster on August 16, 2008, 12:30:41 AM
 I got someone doing a cam mod for me already. I'm getting some nerfs, and a steering stabilzer next. Steve's shop on 54th Ave. N. and Haines road is helping me out.


Title: Re: Finally...something to ride!!
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on August 16, 2008, 12:35:19 AM
 Hey Bill-Hoss400-I hope you don't trade your 400 for a Utility quad. Who's gonna keep up with me if we go to Chiefland?


Title: Re: Finally...something to ride!!
Post by: gearhead400 on August 16, 2008, 07:21:12 PM
CHINO! awesome that your on a quad again man!! I didn't get your message until late friday night so i didn't want to call back. Randall told me this morning that you couldnt ride today also (we went to croom) but we DEFINITELY gotta do some riding soon! I wont lie, i was pretty excited when i got your v-mail! I only had to deal with no quad for a few months, you waited much longer than that, so im glad to see your back on four wheels again! We'll all do some riding at croom, you gonna try and do any XC racing this season?


Title: Re: Finally...something to ride!!
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on August 16, 2008, 08:18:02 PM
 Probably no racing for a while. I still have some stiffness in my neck from the accident, so I have to take it easy for at least another 6 to 8 months. You know I had to contact my old riding crew. I'm just happy I finally got another quad.
   My Tahoe was totalled, now I have a mini van with no trailer. I have to rely on someone else with a trailer for now, so I'm not fully mobile to ride whenever I want. I'm getting a hitch this week, but I don't know when I'll be able to get a trailer. AmericanRobster lives down the street from me and I can probably borrow his trailer. I was going to Croom tomorrow, but my ride backed out, so I may not even get to go. But we will definately hook up sooner or later.

 Anyone have some nerf bars they want to let go for cheap? I'm also looking for a front bumper.


Title: Re: Finally...something to ride!!
Post by: klutchbuster400 on August 19, 2008, 09:37:34 PM
I'll ask Racerx5. He has a few boxes of yfz parts he had on his old race bike.

I hope you bought an extra thick helmet and triple strength body armor. ;)

   I have a Shoei and all the gear. I don't play when it comes to riding gear. I've had a few good falls.
