  1. Hell, email it to me, I wanna see the 450r perform and how it sounds. [email protected]
  2. The SSTs are supposed to be a more overall pipe. I've never ran T5s or SSTs, so I can't really help you. You have both, so why not just throw them on and try them. Put them on and warm it up and then run a plug check. Chances are, they might only need a size or two at the worst, but you should get a good idea of where the power is without rejetting.
  3. Then rejet bro. I check my plugs on almost every ride. So, I'll rejet when it's necessary. Now, just because I check plugs often, doesn't mean i'll change jets very often. Maybe only 2 or 3 times a year, or if I feel I've moved in elevation enough or if it feels like it wants it. Generally, as the winter season comes in, I'll notice the plugs leaning a little or maybe a little hesitation to start off with, so I know it's time. There's no rule set in stone, jetting is reading, feeling, and knowing your machine. I know how it's supposed to be and I know when it's not how it normally is, so I know when to react. The jets in your carb are the lifeline to your motor, that's why I'm always checking plugs and am not afraid to just go ahead and throw another size in if I feel it needs it. Remember, worse thing you can do by richening it too much is maybe foul a plug, it's much much worse to ignore it and end up lean.
  4. isn't working for me either. did save as, and it's "preparing to download", but won't start. Wasn't going to say anything, but since you did, I'll bite as well.
  5. I like the YFZ when I rode one, although, there was considerably more vibration and I didn't like that. Is the 450r the same way, or is there less engine vibration? I actually have gotten to like the looks of the 450r more. I'm not as concerned with straight away speed in XC and would like a low grunting thumper that is comfortable in and out of the woods.
  6. That's a sweet switch, I wish I'd have found that before my little fancy switch. I like that. Go for it!
  7. No. Jeep Cherokee bro.
  8. Looks nice. You couldn't get that swinger, rear shock and a-arms for that starting price, probably couldn't get the swinger and a-arms alone for that.
  9. Are these yours? EDIT - Well, I guess so since you want your saying "check MY other auctions", duh!
  10. Actually, the last time reas was on here was around the time of the hurricanes, I think. I remember him sayin somethin about makin sure the quad will be safe or some shiz.
  11. regarding the carb - pull it and clean it. also make sure the fuel feed line isn't pinched going to that one, and check the float height.
  12. Frodough, up above, has a good motor, and Tats4Life has a smokin Patriot motor, and his is listed in the For Sale section under Parting Out, I'm pretty sure.
  13. Let's see some pics!!
  14. Boon's still around, just "busy" sometimes, though I see him some. Yamahammer just posted yesterday I think. Just got done reading his post, actually. Evil, haven't seen in maybe a month or so. Fixitrod's still on, I see his posts at least once or twice a week. Wanna talk about a loner, how bout Banchetta. He'll come in once a month or so and peg the whole Jetting forum and then be gone. Must be that new kid of theirs. Can't blame him, they're a lot of fun. Screamin, I dunno, I thought he was still on some, but can't remember. Haven't seen reas in awhile tho.
  15. The pipe companies NEVER EVER give you the proper jets. DO NOT EVER solely rely on what they give you for jetting. RK2K2WS6, I'd say get rid of the crappy "Toomey" needles and put your stock ones back in on the 4th clip from the top/blunt end. I hear nothing but problems with jetting when they're being used. Then put in some 300 or 310 main jets and you should feel some difference considerably. You should be somewhere from 290 to 320. Some, on occasion, will be a little richer than that, but I'd start at 300 or 310 then run it. And like DBLtapS mentioned so poetically, check your plugs. If your not sure how, then go to the BHQ Jetting FAQ. Your pilot should be either a 27.5 or 30 depending on conditions. Elevation plays a part in it, but you can take someone from Missouri at 500' and someoone from California at 500' and they could have completely different jetting setups, partly due to humidity, and some due to air thickness, so elevation is a factor, but not the only factor.
  16. just think how it would be with a set of 28's or 30's? that might be something to consider once you get to that point. Yeah, actually, I've been thinking of getting a set of 28 pwks. I think I'll try some out after the portwork. I was gonna buy Tat's but he's got some other ideas for the carbs first, which is fine, can't afford the carbs AND the portwork all together, so I'll get the porting and then maybe next month get some carbs to try out.
  17. I've been wanting one, but they're just so damned expensive. How do they attach, do you have to fasten some velcro in?
  18. Whoever got em is a lucky SOB! Good job on that.
  19. Where you wanting to trade with my +2/+1 Chrome Lonestar a arms? I want that swinger, just don't know how I can swing it at the moment. Gots a lot of shiz goin on.
  20. without airbox lid? what elevation? which filter, uni or k&n? expect 290 to 310, stock needle in 4th clip and a 27.5 pilot at sea level.
  21. aight, thanks fellas. loco, that thing's gonna need more than a 38 to hang with my banshee...
  22. awww damn, i was really wanting those...
  23. All I'm wanting to know is what bike/quad came stock with a 35mm PWK. You answer me that, and I've got the rest taken care of.
  24. I'm sick of looking in catalogs and seeing machine models. I don't have stock carbs, so the '02 Banshee listing won't work all the time. Anyone know of a machine that would have came with a 35mm PWK like I'm running, bike or quad? I know it doesn't matter, cause when I order something I can clarify, but it'd be nice to look in a catalog and figure which part number I need and what the price is of that particular part number. Later.
  25. no. but I am selling my FMF FATTIES . $275 shipped to whoever, wherever. Surely someone wants some Fatties around here.
