  1. Here is a pretty simple way of doing a twist throttle: Handy Throttle - The Thumb Throttle Converter
  2. Yeah the Honda quads have a beltless transmission also but with electronic shift.
  3. Pretty cool. He does good work, you can tell him I said so!
  4. MWKE turned me on to this site from another post so I have to give him the credit. This site has proffessional photos you should check out. It is at http://www.dtexposures.com/ATV.htm Enjoy!
  5. Are u serious? That guy is big and mean looking. Nice pics, I just checked out the site http://www.dtexposures.com
  6. It sounds to me like it's an adjustment issue like MWKE said. With something like that if nothng works, I would take it apart and reinstall making sure the parts are correct by taking a ride to the dealer and matching them up.
  7. All those toys of your are pretty awesome. MWKE, what if you need parts for those, is it a pain in the as* to find or are there allot of aftermarket companies that sell 3 wheeler parts?
  8. Wow those pictures are awesome! I guess UTVs are pretty popular.. Some great pictures. I like the jacked up atv and all the modded out Rhinos.. Yeah, thanks for sharing!
  9. It was a good fight and I think it could have went either way. Oscar should have stuck with his jab more. Pretty Boy runs around too much and his defense is great. I think we'll see a rematch because it was so close. Mayweather said he'll retire, I don't think so!! Too much money can be made from a rematch..
  10. Great pictures. I have the Ali movie with will smith I always watch. Not sure if you seen thse fights between Arturo Gatti and Micki Ward, there are 3 of them, they are some awesome fights. If you get a chance to see the trilogy between those 2 guys... I'm also a Vladimir and Vitaly Klitchko fan for the heavyweights. Vheck out this board for the fight: http://boards.hbo.com/thread.jspa?threadID=300000264&start=30&tstart=0 Has anyone watched the De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7 four part on HBO? they replayed them all last night. Pretty awesome, they showed both training camps...opinions, etc.
  11. Today is the DAY!!!!!!!! You can see I'm a boxing fan. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/05/04/bout.picks/?cnn=yes
  12. Vote now who you think will win this Megafight!!!
  13. Oh man......don't watch if you can't take injury..... Ouch!
  14. How is the riding out there in Colorado??
  15. I think you have a break somewhere or open (short). You have to try to get your hands on a wiring diagram from the dealer or buy a manual to troubleshoot it. Start witht the main power to the fuses and relays. You also may have a faulty main relay....
  16. That's pretty awesome!! You getting one...??
  17. Ok, just updated mine.... http://www.quadcrazy.com/Ajmboy
  18. KFX450R Racer Build Up By John "Doogie" Howell Mar 21, 2007 Click on Relate Media for all the pictures! Astute readers may remember Cyle Chislock’s name from our April 2007 issue when he and his Honda 450R were featured in our Monster Energy story. As we were working on the article, Cyle picked up a support ride aboard a new Kawasaki KFX450R and was awaiting his machine’s arrival. Well, luckily for him (and the rest of us!), that time has finally come. Cyle called and told us that he was in the process of building up his new race KFX and asked if we’d like to snap some photos of the process. Cyle’s plan is to contend the entire 2007 ITP QuadCross series, assorted WORCS races, and even the Baja 1000 aboard his new machine. So enough of the gabbin’—let’s check out his new ride. Up front, Cyle partnered with the popular Roll Design/Elka Suspension combo that the factory Kawi crew will be using on their own race bikes. The Roll Lobo II front end is made from 4130 chromoly and comes with PFTE composite lined bearings and hardened steel pivot pins. The upper arms are fully adjustable (both castor and camber can be tweaked) and the setup comes with 4130 chromoly, zinc-plated tie rods. Cyle plans on running the stock rear swingarm for now—from what we’ve heard, the lightweight aluminum stocker is pretty stout and should hold up to the stress of racing quite well. The front Elka Factory shocks are brand new and are also very high tech. The new shocks come with features like a high-flow piston, DLC coating on the shaft (giving it an extremely hard coating), plenty of hard-anodized parts, and optional titanium springs. The biggest feature, however, is Elka’s new, patented Track System. The Track System helps provide a plush ride when hitting harsh jolts and high-speed hits, and it allows you to further adjust the high- and low-speed compression without any compromise in handling. Elka also provided Cyle with one of its new System 3 steering damper setups, which features high- and low-speed damping and return-to-center damping adjustments. When it came time to outfit the bike with a pipe, Cyle turned to the guys providing the power to the factory crew—Pro Circuit. PC adds some serious snap to Cyle’s new ride in the form of a new T4 pipe. The T4 features a titanium header and midpipe, which is mated to a stainless steel can. Getting that power to the ground is a full set of ITP’s newest QuadCross tires, which is designed to shine on real slick or hardpacked surfaces, with the standard 20-inch fronts with 18-inch rears. (Cyle’s machine here sports the standard Holeshot tire—at the time of the photoshoot, ITP was still testing the brand-new QuadCross tires.) Other miscellaneous odds and ends include Streamline brake lines, an IMS Intimidator bumper and nerfs, and a Quad Tech ATV seat and carbon fiber front nosepiece. When we talked to Cyle about the new Kawi, he backed up what we felt during our test of the stocker. “It’s more stable than the Honda that I was used to riding—there’s no bump steer, it’s easier to ride longer, and there’s hardly any body roll,” he explained. “The stock motor is a little stronger and torquier than other stock sport quads, and it pulls longer. The addition of the Pro Circuit pipe really helps to wake up the motor.” Courtesy http://www.quadmagazine.com/quad/features/article/0,24942,1601255,00.html
  19. The Ultimate Baja 1000 Racer By Brian McCune Mar 22, 2007 Racing the Baja 1000 is no easy task; riding the quad by yourself the entire length of the race is pure insanity. With only half of the starters even finishing the event, it takes an ultimate quad and an ultimate rider to attempt to solo this grueling course. Richie Brown did just that and he finished the race in 39 hours. With dependability and comfort in mind, he built his Honda TRX450R into the ultimate Baja quad. 1. Maxxis Razr 2 Tires Brown relied on the Maxxis Razr 2 for their enhanced cornering ability. The Razr 2 comes standard with a six-ply rating for maximum puncture resistance. They are made especially for demanding off-road racing like GNCC events, but work great in the desert, as well. According to GNCC champ Bill Ballance, the Razr and Razr 2 offer the best setup for the serious cross-country racer on every track and in every weather condition known to man. ($487; http://www.maxxis.com or call 800-4-MAXXIS) 2. AC Racing Nerfbars When racing for 39 hours (or even 39 minutes), nerfbars are a must! They keep your feet from turning into hamburger meat. AC Racing is known for exceptional aftermarket parts, and these nerfbars are no exception. These nerfs are lightweight and easy to install. ($190; http://www.acracing.com or call them at 714-808-8330) 3. IMS Fuel Tank Thinking of running the Baja 1000? Well, then fuel is something you will need plenty of! Even one extra gallon can be the difference between fueling up 10 times instead of 15 and saving precious time. The IMS fuel tank will add an extra gallon of gas while still keeping a low profile. ($225; http://www.imsproducts.com or call 800-237-9906) 4. Fasst Flex Handlebars The Fasst bars are made to provide the rider with the best performance and comfort available. They absorb almost all vibration, which reduces rider fatigue and makes it possible to ride harder and longer (a necessity for all Baja racers). ($299; http://www.fasstco.com or call them at 562-601-8119) 5. EFM Auto Clutch After riding 500 miles and shifting between gears over a hundred times, you can be sure all the Baja riders have wished they could just sit back and let the tranny do all the work. An EFM Auto Clutch is just what they need! Although some work is still required. The EFM clutch automatically engages and disengages itself. It also leaves the manual lever intact, so if the need arises, the rider can take control. ($500; http://www.efmautoclutch.com or hit them up at 330-947-1700) 6. Ricky Stator Baja2 Light Kit While racing through some of the roughest terrain and weather known to man, high-powered headlights are key to keeping your eyes focused on the track ahead. Ricky Stator has been a name known in the light industry for years. The nine-inch Maxtell lights, in conjunction with the powdercoated steel protective light bar, make for a durable yet affordable setup. ($249; http://www.rickystator.com or call for yours at 760-787-0094) 7. Scotts Performance Steering Damper Steering dampers are a must-have when riding for even a few hours, let alone 39. Scotts Steering damper reduces rider fatigue by eliminating the sudden thrusts felt when navigating rough terrain. This particular damper is also adjustable on the fly, so while you’re out riding a thousand miles it can be fine-tuned to perfection. ($400; http://www.scottsperformance.com or call 818-248-6747) 8. CV4 Radiator Hoses Ever have a radiator hose burst? It’s not fun. CV4 Silicone Radiator Hoses are specifically designed to endure extremes. They can withstand temperatures from -76 F to +428 F, and are made to handle even the nastiest impacts. While typically overlooked on most quads, the hundred bucks can be what stand between you and the finish line in Baja. ($112; http://www.cvproducts.com or call them at 800-448-1223) 8. HMF Ironman Performance Exhaust No one races with a stock exhaust system these days, and running the Baja 1000 is no exception. Brown turned to the Ironman series from HMF to pull every ounce of power from his TRX450R. The Ironman increases horsepower on the top end and keeps the bottom end power and torque that HMF is known for. ($340; http://www.hmfengineering.com or call them at 866-HMF-PIPE) 9. LoneStar Axle An axle on a quad takes an insane amount of abuse, and anyone who has run a Baja race knows axles are basically butter in that kind of terrain. LoneStar axles are backed by a lifetime warranty, which speaks for the quality of the product they put out. All LoneStar axles are adjustable from two inches under stock to one inch over stock width. ($420 http://www.lsracing.com or call them at 800-457-7223) 10. Elka Shocks Nothing is worse than having a mediocre set of shocks on a quad, so for their reliability, wide range of use, and quality, Brown turned to Elka Suspension. Every Elka shock is custom-built for each customer according to the rider’s weight, riding style, and type of terrain. This setup can take a beating and provide a much smoother ride, making a thousand-mile trek more comfortable. (Front shocks $1,395, rear shock $995; http://www.elkasuspension.com or call your local Elka dealer) 11. Adapt Graphics Kit As the final touches go into a quad, you can’t leave out the trick graphics. For a good-looking and affordable graphics kit, Brown headed to the guys at Adapt to hook him up with their latest TRX450R kit. No matter what terrain this quad is on, it will stand out from the crowd. (Graphics kit and seat cover $150; http://www.adaptracing.com or call them at 404-704-0419) Courtesy http://www.quadmagazine.com/quad/features/article/0,24942,1601604,00.html
