RagunCajun Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Im my experience which is far less than most here, it's off the line the 4 strokes are strong in. Set up your bike to get off the line good and they wont be able to catch up. You can always throw a dune able over ride in her but as much as i love mine, it's not for everyone. but it will help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF87 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yea better tires will help me. He pulled hard off the start and was ahead of me by a bike when I went from 2nd to 3rd and I launch in 2nd. He starts in first. I'm excited on new pipes it they make that much difference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF87 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 After I shift to 3rd then 4th I start pulling the 450r. But when I wouldn't shift right he would get me sometimes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 These are the paddles I have. Sand sharks I believe. These came with the bike along with the sprockets that were on it. It was set up for trails Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free I remember that bike. Aren't you in oregon? Some cut paddle brats or some haulers would be a big improvement over the sand sharks. The molded stuff is usually heavier and doesn't hook as well. I went from new sand stars to cut and really light 6 paddle Paddle Brats and could tell a dramatic difference on my 450. Alot of improvement could be made on those tires and pipes. If you go to a more more top end pipe though you're going to lose bottom end and midrange. You'll be clutching alot more. It'll rip up too with better pipes which might be worth the loss to you. Was for me. I just had to slip it more and rev the piss out of it. Was like a totally different bike with better more dragish pipes, carbs, and vf3s.

RagunCajun Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 that 450's on pump or race gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF87 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Dave5.0- I've never been to Oregon I ride mostly at gordons well. I'll probably get cpi pipes and go to stock gearing I don't mind working the clutch. And the 450 was on pump gas it was built by racersedgeaz they do good work. It's an 06 450 which I believe make more power than 04/05s because of carb setups Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have built a few strong running 450s that get some banshee owners very pissed in drag races but like cam said I have seen so so so many sheets in bad tune ,bad electronics ,etc .every banshee owner thinks there shit is perfect 9 times outta 10 I can find at least 5 things wrong rite off the bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 If everything is in good tune, I stll think good tires will make the best bang- for-the -buck improvement in a drag race. Better pipes with your current setup will net minor improvement because you'll still spin off the line horribly. Fattys can still be competitive in the " nerf bar" group of racers. You can still dune/ play with better tires and hook better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 If you make more power your gonna spin out more on your takeoff. what was 1 bike length now will be 2-3 you have to make up. buy some good haulers 9 or 10 paddle 21-11-8 reg buff but a 14-15 front on depending on your weight and be done. Those tires you have cant get the power to the ground. thats why your losing from the start. you should pull them from start to finish.

BAMF87 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I can't decide which sprocket to try up front so I'll try 14 and see how it feels. I'm not sure on going from 13 to 15 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
