thegroup Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 if i can beat a 200 lbs. guy on a 450R(aftermarket exhaust, cant remember what, and a few other odds and ends) on my buddy's 03 'shee(i weigh about 170-ish, stock gears, 400 stroker, T-6s, cool head) in grass, then u should wax him. he would get me off the start b/c all i would do is spin 4 or 5 gears and then take off like a rocket and beat him 30 ft. from the end in a 300 yd or so race.

sredish Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 these threads crack me up. If the 450r has a cam and exhaust, you better watch out, gear up with a 15T front sprocket and that'll definitely help. If you can pull it, go to a 38 rear as well. If he doesn't have a cam, then it shouldn't be too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2kbanshee9187 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yea 100lbs is really light, how old are you? It should be a good race I guess. IDK what to say about the gearing but watch it he might have you. Race and let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashee03 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 im thinkin about goin to a 15 tooth and im 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 the 15 tooth will really make a difference, drag-wise and trail usage. it'll be better all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik6767 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 dam 100 pounds? honestly i dont remeber when i weighed 100 pounds, probably in like 4th-5th grade or somethin,,,? anyway i have a stock banshee and raced my friends stock yfz450 which is quickeer than the honda...he beet my by only a couple lenghts to about 50mph.... and i weigh about 60 pounds more than him,,,, u should win the race just on shear weight different alone..... 100pounds is ALOT OF extra weight for a 40hp machine..

MonkeyBoy Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I wasn't real happy with the 15 tooth sproket until I got my port work done. Of course I am 235 lbs, so there is more to pull. I rode a 450R, and I couldn't say I was at all impressed. Bike sucked mid to top. Sucked. And that was piped. When the bike was done up to 470, that was a different story. Night and Day difference from the bike I rode. If you are wondering, the one I rode was the Sand Addiction write up. Jeff is a friend, and he let me try it out. Being a Yamaha guy, he was stoked that I was impressed with the Honda. It's a sweet ride now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 If youre' only 100lbs you might want to concider getting into allout draggin'.Cammed 450's become a memory after 3rd gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
