sredish Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Or what should i put to be able to beat that atv Depending on your mods, you might be able to gear up a gear higher and that might help. But it will hurt you if you don't have the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwuest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Well, if it was a close race now, and your bike is stock, try this. Get yourself a good set of pipes. I like the FMF Fattys myself, but I have heard others who have had good results with Toomys or CPIs. Basicly, any aftermarket pipe will kill the stock pipes, but some aftermarkets work better than others. Make sure you rejet the carbs once the pipes are replaces, otherwise the bike will be lean and burn up. Once you have the pipes, you can advance the timing. There are several ways to advance the timing. The cheapest way is to remove the stator, and use a dremel to elongate the holes on the mounting plate the stator sits on, so that you can advance it 3 to 4 degrees. You can also change the timeing with a degree key ($25) or with an aftermarket timing plate ($100), any way you do it is fine, so long as you only advance it by 3-4 degrees. Next, increase compression. This can be done with any of the aftermarket heads ($250-400), or by having the stock head shaved by a machine shop($30-45). By increasing compression, you will gain power, but if you increase compression too much, you will have to run race fuel. Stock compression is only about 110 psi, and you can run 150 psi safely on premium pump fuel. I actually run 160 psi on pump fuel without a problem, but I have had others say that this is on the edge. By now, you should have what you need to beat this yfz 450. If not, then the nex step would be to take the top end off and have the jugs ported by a reputable shop. You can realy gain alot of power by having it properly ported. While you have it apart for a port job, this would be a good time to have it bored to the next piston size and replace the pistons with a fresh set of wiseco pistons. Now you should be able to smoke him so long as you know how to hold on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkid78 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Who cares about riding in a straight line anyway. Go to a track and race laps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRST BANSHEE Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 pratice your holeshot, if he gets you out of the hole and you can't pull it back he'll have the same problem. try leaving in 2nd gear, by the time your 1/2 through third you should have him. also get sime pipes.
