BUMP, come on, somebody on the HQ has to have a set of stock head studs they're not using.

Found it. Props to gregrob for posting it the first time.

I've seen pretty convincing evidence that taking a lot of time to break the engine in isn't really necessary. If I remember right, there's a pretty reputable engine builder who claims that as long as you give the bike plenty of time to warm up before you ride it, you can pretty much rip on it right off the bat. There's a link to his case on not actually breaking the engine in somewhere on BansheeHQ, but I don't have it handy at the moment. If you don't really trust that method, I think the most common way to do it is to let the bike idle for about 20-30 minutes, or until the cylinders feel hot to the touch, then shut it down, retorque the head, and repeat about 3 times, then ride it fairly easy for the first full tank of gas. I've heard compelling cases for both methods, and I've heard of bikes going sky-high not long after both methods were employed. I'll see if I can find that link that I mentioned above, and if I do, I'll post it.

Thanks Dave, NYUK's fresh out though... I PM'ed Ray, but like I said I need them ASAP so if you have a set you're willing to part with let me know. I'll post something here if I find a set.

I bet 10 years from now, "electric superchargers" and those little resistor chips will be popular in India. :yelrotflmao:

My old cylinder head studs are garbage, and I want to start over again. I want all the stock studs (including the two longer front studs), as long as they're straight and the threads are good, I will be happy. If you got 'em let me know as soon as possible. Either post here, PM me, or send an email to hammerhead300 (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm wanting to have my shee up and running by next weekend at the latest so if possible I'd like to have them on the way by Friday (tomorrow). Thanks!

Hahaha, just tell 'em your bike's making too much power with the boost bottle on there and you want to tame it down so you don't shit yourself every time you hit the power band.

If those warning labels are put on the front fender the same way they're put on the back fenders, you might try taking them off with steel wool... that's how I took mine off.

If I was in the market for a new quad right now, I'd get a KFX too. They look awesome, and from everything I've heard they perform as good as any other 450 that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (AKA the DS and KTM). I like the SE like the one in Titan Up's sig. That looks sharp.

Are you going to take it off any sweet jumps?

For that price, I'm not too surprised that they're already sold.

Bump, would like to see how this looks mounted as well.

:yelrotflmao: I'd be worried about blowing that sumbitch up, but I'm pretty sure anybody who can afford to build/buy a Cougar motor can afford to rebuild it too.

I'm kinda partial to the '99 for some reason... :cool: But seriously, my favorite color scheme is the yellow/black '06 anniversary edition.

Your cheapest bet is to buy a Clymer's manual and do the job yourself. Clymer manuals tell you pretty much everything you need to know, and they have fairly clear pictures so you know what they're talking about. Plus that way if you need to replace any parts in the future you can save yourself from having to pay for shop labor if somebody else does it.

Oh, you don't think it's funny? Too fucking bad. I do. I left the part that I edited up for about 30 seconds. Yeah, I REALLY hurt your chances of selling the damn thing. Keep crying 'till the mods get here, sunshine.

Hmmmm, like the fuckin idiot who posted the link to be able to edit the ad? Wow, I'm being told to grow up by somebody who can't take a joke. That's all it was. I even deleted the joke that I put in there after I screen-capped it, just for the sake of not being a jerk. I could've easily deleted your WHOLE FUCKING AD, but I didn't. If I'd have known you'd be an asshole about it, I probably would've.

Is that so? :yelrotflmao: It's a nice quad, but I couldn't resist:

Got some pics of it for us?

Eight months, but that's not because I didn't have to replace anything, it's because I couldn't afford to replace what needed to be replaced. When I've actually had it running, two weeks sounds about right. All I know is it's spent about 10x as much time not running as it's spent running since I bought it in June of last year.

Oldie but a goodie right there. :biggrin:

That's what I like to hear, because I'm going to be running a VERY similar setup to you. I haven't gotten to ride mine yet so seeing that makes me more excited about it.

Hell, I do 2 Liter curls. I don't have a 6 pack, or even a keg... I got a PARTY BALL, baby!

Hahahaha, now that's a good way to make some money!

You'd have loved it if it was "let's see how tan and jacked your little boys are". :yelrotflmao:
