woah been a helluva long time since my last picture.

im in the thor jersey

palm centro

very nice dude,

i saw your whole bike on exriders and i must say, that is one of the sickest 450s ive seen.

kinda late reply, but i would never run wheel spacers. they give a helluva lot of bumpsteer.

but if you want to sacrifice handling for a wider quad, then its good i guess.

im also scared to use wheel spacers. i just dont trust them.

i think we're just a tad far away from each other dont'cha think?

if and when i get the ktm, my first mod will be SX a arms. followed by an exhaust of some brand.

i cant wait

I would personally go with the SX and put bigger wheels/tires on it.

money is an issue, and the SX is 2k+ more than the XC model.

I sat on a 525XC today and I didn't think it was bad at all. There are alot of things that are different between the MX and XC machines. Suspension, width, tire size, gearing, etc... The XC is designed for trail use and has reverse, while the MX machine is setup for the track and has no reverse. I ride a machine that was designed for the track, and while putting the larger tires on helps alot, there are plenty of other things that I wish were different. Don't get me wrong, I love my LTR, but I have only had it for a year, and the clutch is almost gone. That clutch was not made to be feathered alot, and when you are trying to squeeze a 49" wide quad through a 49 1/2" trail, you end up riding the clutch alot.

yea i know, the main reason im wanting the XC is cash, if i could pick any quad, it would be the 505SX for sure, but its high as a cats back. in the end, the only real mods ill have done to it is SX arms and a pipe since i love a wide quad.

I'll bet you will be sad to see her go...

Going to a KTM will be something else. Why not go for a Yamaha Raptor or something.....

yea it will be a sad day

i want something race ready, if i dont go with a KTM ill be looking for a race ready yfz trx or ltr. im not a huge fan of raptors though.

Have you ever sat on the KTM XC models? I have and it instantly made me change my mind about them. They have the most god awful seat I have ever sat on. Very uncomfortable ergonomics. The SX model feels way better. If they used the same seat it would be much better.

i wish i could, the nearest dealer is 2 hours away with that awesome price.

im not really worried about the seat, im always standing or hanging off the seatup due to the fact i have no butt and sitting in even the plushest chair hurts. as long as its reliable, its what im looking for.

but i wonder if the sx and xc seats are interchangable.

as the title says, with school ending and summer begining things have been pretty hectic round here so imma fill yall in on my quad life.

the 400ex is for the most part done, ive pretty much got it the way i want it. the carrier bearings are going out on it so i think ill invest on a twin row carrier. now in about a year, we should have made our last payment on the 400. soon after that we will be selling the 400. idk if i will part out the big things or not, its still up in the air. after she is sold i will invest in a new ktm450xc, which at a ceratin dealership is selling for a smoking price at $6,300 otd before haggling...

all this is HOPEFUL. the 400 has been nice, but i finally figured out that the whole reason my motor blew at the begining of the year was because ive been riding pretty much balls to the wall, high revved. its really a shame to get rid of it after all the work i put into it, but hopefully the reward in the end will be well worth it.

heres a picture of how the 400 sits.

thanks scott

We were about to but then taylors parents showed up and we had to leave.

next time we're out we'll definatly get a video.

Finally got my whips down pat last weekend

me and my friend taylor made a small step up..

its not a huge jump, but its not bad for being right behind my back yard haha

taylor on his Z

he had this fender kiss thing goin on

Hey i have a 07 trx400ex with a nmotion slip on and it gave it the power i wanted and a great sound for cheap . . . think you should look into it .

where the heck did you find that?!

i wanted an nmotion shorty but never could find one for the 400.

but the quad is pretty much done now, as soon as it is paid off we'll be selling it(maybe part a few things out) and buy a 450.

so im not throwin anymore money at her

you have the same last name as me

take care joe, and thank you.

looks great man, you dont have to worry about flipping now!

looks awesome dude

how many disks you running on your Eseries man?

throw some shocks on that bad boy!

Lol, i died a bit inside.

I just ordered a set of Burgard +2 a-arms for the 500R. I also got a brand new set of front shocks from an '08 KFX 450. I think they will work a bit better than Honda 450R shocks because they are only about about 1/4" longer than stock 250R shocks and the Kawi is supposed to have softer suspension than the Honda 450.

I also picked up a new chopsaw, air/hydraulic pipe bender, and drill-press. These will make finnishing the Blazer and the chair-trike alot easier.

yes they will, and they wont raise the ride height as much as trx shocks.

amazing. but i wonder how much that printer costs...

I See Trikes are not on the List:no:

i support trikes, quads, and bikes of all shapes colors and sizes mwke ;D

same here, take off the rear bus part and put a flat bed on there and you could haul two or three quads on there

vote for me, i support equal rights!

equal rights of what? hahaha

thanks man that means alot.

i would love to get my frame and subframe PCed but im to lazy and its not really worth it since ill be looking for 450s whenever our economy picks up.

yep she's a loud mofo, i love it

my buddy has an e series without any disks on his 99 and its ungodly loud.
