= slow

we need to know what the pilot is. not all of those carbs come with the same size pilots in them. pull the pilot and see what it is.

i think im gonna go with some clear radiator hoses this year. what are you guys using? something reinforced or what? any links to a kit? where can i get all the motor mounts in chrome?

yea ive seen the show. looks pretty badass. nice weather and something new everyday.

maybe so. i was very leery of doing it when i first got my transmission and i babied it a lot. after some time i got more comfortable with it and came to realize i could beat the hell out of it and not have to worry. upon tear down i was very surprised to see that the shift forks were in great shape and had very little wear on them. in fact two of them had virtually no wear, while one had minimal wear on it.

you still havent explained to us exactly what its doing.

if it just now started happening after the rebuild, id say youre head gasket isnt sealed properly. did you make sure the head is good and tight?

youre wrong. i have a 2-4 duneable thats been in use for 4 years. i downshift it all the time with no clutch. i just tore it apart after 4 years and all my shift forks were in great shape. my brother has the same 2-4 and his is the same way. no clutch on downshifting = perfectly fine.

it just sounds like youre clutch is out of adjustment to me. have you played with the adjustment screw on the clutch perch? loosen the jam nut and screw the adjuster OUT (counter clockwise). it sounds like your clutch is still grabbing. by adjusting that out it will allow your clutch to disengage far enough for it to quit gripping.

no thats BS. you can use the clutch to upshift or downshift. tell us EXACTLY what its doing and be specific as to what parts of the bike are doing what.

thats a good fuckin deal on arms and good shocks. i really need one of my site sponsors to get hooked up with elka so we can get some discounts here.

word

now is a good time to snag a new leftover yfz450 that is still carbed. everyone seems to want the EFI, but personally ill take the carbed model any day. the 450r is actually heavier than the regular 450. there are some significant differences in the suspension and frames of the two bikes. either bike is badass.. we have a 2006, 2007 and 2009 450r in the family. the 450r is pretty fuckin sweet. i just think you can snag a regular 450 for a lot less.

i would definitely run the elkas and an aftermarket shock. there are several site sponsors here that can either build you a set of arms or get you a set that are in stock. i would say good luck on getting arms and shocks for $750. that would be a steal.

we need to know what jets and a complete lost of your mods, elevation and temperature.

the main purpose of an override is so that you can shift while youre at wide open throttle. there are two main types of overrides.. 1. regular override - mainly used in drag racing. upshifting while under power with no clutch. you must come to a complete stop before shifting back down through the gears. if you dont, you risk bending shift forks and grenading the transmission. 2. duneable override - can be up shifted or down shifted without the use of the clutch. you dont have to stop all the way to downshift. you can run most of them just like a regular transmission, however over time they will eventually wear on the shift forks. most of the time one or the other is used with the use of a lockup(keeps the clutch from slipping). if you dont use an override with a lockup, its nearly impossible to shift the bike unless you let off the throttle and pull the clutch in all the way.

i would not do this conversion. id stick with banshee arms and shocks. i know it seems like a cheap alternative, but its not that great of a set up. i think you will regret doing it.

ive never had a set of chrome pipes blue. ive has t5's, rockets and now shearers and none of them ever did it. id say your jetting is probably ok or you would have blown it up already. what is your fuel/oil ratio and what kind of oil?

i cant see any reason for that thing to break. thats a pretty solid bolt. there really isnt any pressure on it as all it really does is keeps your shift shaft centered on the shift star.

i agree. id be pretty upset to not have my banshee for its purpose or going faster than fuck, but the 450 is just a hell of a lot more rider friendly and easier to handle in the tight shit.

thats a good deal on a banshee. youre gonna like it im sure. be prepared to dump a ton of money into it now.. welcome to HQ if you need ANYTHING for your bike, please consider our site sponsors. they have everything from OEM parts to one off custom chassis. they are the best in the business.
