Keyser Soze Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Shit i got a little comfortable because it was running and did'didn't think about the little things like running a few heat cycles on the motor, putting plastic back on, cleaning air filters, bleeding the damn brakes. I didnt think id ever get them bleed, was starting to panic since I have to go into work tonight. Anyway here is the final product. Frame didn't come out the way I wanted it to but oh well its straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhitey917 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Not gonna make it. Lost a tire on the trailer this morning. Luckily I was only about 20 min into the drive. Finally got it fixed and back home. Looks like I have to go to family Easter after all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Day was very perfect. Wish I would have got a few hours sleep before. Got there at open and took off at 1:30pm. Used 4 gallons of fuel, Id say my machine is broke in. Looks like I need a new front break diaphragm, two clutch cover bolts, new threads for on one of my footpegs. Not all that bad considering. Nice to see everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Good to see everyone, the wife and I got mudded the F out, had a ball. I led her thru the trails on the 80, got quite a bit of looks smashing thru the woops and mud on it haha. We then went to West Lafeyette and partied at Purdue for the night, we had a great friggen weekend, finished it up with family easter sunday where I rode the 80 some more!

RollinRhino Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Good seeing everyone and despite issues with my quad I still thought it was worth the trip and can't wait to be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuba147 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Was a absolute great day till shee puked out at end of day--something happened on right cylinder--gotta clean her up and tear it down to see wtf happened-not good. At least my dirt bike I bought over winter was a success-LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I didn't see it till it was time to wash the machine….but I broke the shit outta my swing arm! 3 big cracks. One on each main tube and the main carrier tube was Blasted! It was 1 1/2" of metal away from the entire axle just flying off. I don't know how I survived the weekend. Glad we didn't do that "Last Rip Around" before we left. I think my shocks are TOO GOOD. I don't know how I break a chromoly swing arm and not end up with broken ankles….or at least some kind of feedback to let me know something that severe happened. Time for a fully braced MX version.

RollinRhino Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 John, I am feeling pretty lucky about now............. Get a full skid plate for your next arm on that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 John, I am feeling pretty lucky about now............. Get a full skid plate for your next arm on that thing. Nothing HIT the arm. It cracked from FORCE! (I ride hard core don't you know) Didn't taco a brake rotor or sprocket at all. Not even a little flat spot. I HATE skid plates. They are just dustpan/funnels to feed shit into your chain. You get in some of that deep pea gravel at the Badlands…..watch that skid plate feed it all into your chain guide. Then when the chain links are full of gravel, the sprocket teeth have nowhere to go. Nate just about ruined a set of cases that way. I'd rather do one of JD's sprocket/rotor guards. But i have nice Lonestar Billet drive/brake hubs……. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
