Eh, didn't affect mine at all. I don't think any liquid you use (short of some type of harsh polish or acid) will not affect the chrome any worse then using a pad that is too heavy.

Yamaha recommends 10w30 for the tranny but I've used the Bel-ray, different gear oils, and 10w30 motor oils, all have worked fine.

So you're runnin a sand paddle on grass? There's your major traction problem plain and simple IMO. Get some different tires on there and see what it'll do.

If any of it is rust try WD-40 and some 000 or 0000 steel wool. Works really good for the 1st time goin over them. Then work down to some polish and the 000 steel wool then 0000 steel wool then a polishing pad if you've got one. Key is to do it in steps if you want the best results, just like on a car :thumbsup:

Actually now that I look at the one Washburn put the link up to, that's what mine looks like. Not ever hill is rounded off, looks like you got a custom one

It does look a little flatter then mine, been awhile since I've seen it tho.

Ya if it's one of the new 700's they haul some ass with a few mods...yammy seemed to get it right on that one.

By the haulers I suspect you'll be racing on sand. Not sure how much you wanna spend but there's still quite a few bolt-ons you can go with. I'd get a timing plate and a coolhead with some smaller domes to bump up your compression. Then maybe some different reed/reed cage setup. After that you're runnin out of bolt-ons to do. One of the best things you can do for racing someone is make sure your setup is spot on. I.E. gearing, tire pressure, suspension, and practice, practice, practice your launches :thumbsup:

Wish I could help ya bout about 1% of my truck knowledge deals with diesels. There's a ton of other guys on here that'll be able to chime in tho...good luck :thumbsup:

If you bump up the compression I would highly recommend not to use octane booster. Like the saying goes, cheap shit aint good, and good shit aint cheap. Even running 100LL AV gas would be tons better then some octane booster crap.

I use klotz, buddy uses 927 and klotz. No real preference both are good oils.

If that's 10 shipped for the sprocket consider it sold :thumbsup:

Just emailed ya the pics and info. Let me know what ya think!

I'll race your cobra in my truck any day...problem is it's in 1' of mud.... :yelrotflmao: Hell I'd put our 4000 lb. '79 chevy up against your cobra...talk about ball-droppin :biggrin:

There's 2 little clips on the outside of each carb that holds the carb cap from spinning. Take those clips off and the caps will unscrew and the slides/spring/needle assembly will slide out of the carbs. Then just disconnect fuel lines and take them loose from the intakes and you're good to go.

I've also got a friend selling a '98 that has a fresh rebuild and new custom paint job. We're also not located that close but if you'd like more info let me know.

Dude he's responding in like 2 minutes? It's apparent to 99.9% of the guys here who knows what they're talkin about and who is arguing with a damn wall.

Dude, you just got PWNED :yelrotflmao:

Man you'd argue with a fuckin brick wall wouldnt you? :: I haven't been on here long but I sure as hell know that 2 guys that know what they're talkin about is dajo and firehead...so they're not exactly the one's you want to bump heads with. Hell, I feel like I've been here long enough and worked on my bike enough that I could tune a bike better then you could based on some of the shit you're feedin right now.

Well a buddy had the v-paddles and didn't really need 'em, and when i tested them out I was out on the river so of course they were hookin up and I was thinkin...man this is nice. Then I got to LS and had nothing but wheelspin. I also only weight like 140 soakin wet...so traction might be an issue with anything I choose, lol

That's really not a huge amount of air pressure either IMO...I usually start with 6 or so in my v-paddles....but they just spin like crazy so I've gotta get something that hooks up in the powdery stuff. But otherwise I love the v-paddles down at the river where it's packed and wet....they hook like crazy. Oh and I'm not too worried about it bein overpaddled. I figured a regular 8 paddle would damn near be what I need, so I thought maybe a good deal on some 7 paddle extremes would be worth goin for, just wanted to ask 1st since not alot of topics are about 7 paddle haulers, lol

Just got the basic bolt on mods...T-5's, pods, timing plate, milled head, 13/42 gearing. I'm wanting to get some haulers for when I go to Little Sahara where the sand is a little softer, but I can't find any 20" 8 paddle regular haulers for sale right now (lookin for used cuz im brizzoke). Found some 7 paddle extreme's on ebay for a decent price so far...just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on these on my bike. Oh, they'll mainly be for just duning but I'll also do quite a bit of "recreational" dragging.

I was thinkin gettin the balljoint out of the spindle, but hey, go big or go home :yelrotflmao: :thumbsup:

Think I've got a stock airbox, hafta check on it tho but we all run w/o one so I'm thinkin I could dig one up. Could you send pics of the nerf bars to [email protected] please, thanks man!
