Dinner Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Well this Saturday I'll be drag racing a 450R. My mods are in my signature, his mods are nothing, stock gearing, 18 inch tires. He keeps talking crap about my quad, or any other quad in general saying his is the fastest no matter what. Usually I'm not one to get pissed off about it, but he has been nagging at me for a week now. So I told him I'll race him, if I lose I lose, if I win I win. We will be racing on pavement, or should I say I will be on pavement, and he said he will take the shoulder(gravel) because he said: "so that it gives me a better chance to catch up to him." I'll probably start off in 1st, see how that treats me, if not then I'll start in 2nd. We are going to try 300ft at first and see from there, maybe even start from a rolling go(2nd gear). My other friend wants to video tape it so once I have the video's I'll post them up. I'm thinking that I will be able to beat him, not sure how much but I think I can. I'm not too worried if I lose, cause well hey, I'll beat him in the pits,lol. And I know the only way to find out is to go out and do it, which we are. So what do you guys think?

dajogejr Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 18 inch tires on a four stroke? He's probably gonna get you out of the hole... If your porting is any good, by third you should be pulling on him pretty good. Launch in second.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91banshee Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 are you sure he is all stock ? no pipe or jetting ? if you are running 22" rear tires and have a 14 40 gearing i would for sure start in 1st on pavement ,any other terain start 2nd with that ratio , if he is mostly stock you will beat him in everyway , 450r have lawnmower cams in stock form and dont really wake up with out hrc kit or head work good luck forever live the shee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinner Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yes he is stock, no pipe, no jetting, nothing, except smaller rear tires. I expect him to pull on me off the line, and im hoping to be able to go past him. Yea right now my jetting is for around -10,-15 degree weather. So I'll have to re-jet her for the +5, +10 weather because this weekend is suppose to be fairly warm. I just kind of find it funny that he is letting me have the pavement, while he wants to take the crappy gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an 05 or older R, or an 06 or 07? The newer models are actually faster than the older, too...the got more of the 450 dirt bike parts on 'em. Not sure exactly what...but my buddy is a R freak, and he was telling me the 04 an 05 models were nothing like the bike, the 06 and 07 damn near are the bike motor...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a quick picture of it, had nerf bars, hand gaurds and that was about it for "mods" you could say, well and 18" tires. So we'll see how things go :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiftdT4R Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I just cant see him even being close to you with him not having a pipe or anything like that. good luck thought and i hope you make him eat his words. Yeah, same here, it won't even be a race, you'll smoke that douche. Definately start in 1st though with those big tires, and tall gearing.

Thanks Guys Yea I was over at the shop this afternoon painting the tank shroud, and cleaning a few more things up, checking things over(getting ready for this season). And so I'm leaving my friends place when his sister is standing there. So i role down my window..yes? Boyde(When he talks about it he says 450R, so im not sure what year it is) wants to know if you want to race tonight. I'm like well I'm heading out for supper right now, if he is here and we have time after we milk and before we go out I suppose we could try. So Monique goes and tells her other sister(Boyde kids gf) and I head home. I kinda want to get this done cause he won't shut up. He keeps going on about how he can do anything with his 450R, how it out powers anything out there, etc. I'm really hoping I win(same with all my friends) cause they are tired of it as well. He even goes on about how is 450R is better than my one friends 250R trike all pimped out, has over $5000 into it. So hopefully I'll teach that 450 a lesson :ohmy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinner Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Well it turns out my friend's parents decided to take the video camera with them this weekend So we had nothing to tape it with. But I did however beat him,lol. He went onto the shoulder of the road and tried it out(we didnt race) and it was soft and mushy so he came onto the pavement. Got one of my other friends to wave us down. He would beat me off the line cause i would bog it down(my bad,lol) but then once in 2nd and 3rd I would go past him. We did it a couple more times, and then after he came up to me and said "I think I'm going to give up now", so I nodded. My two other friends with a 450ER(jetted, No Airbox, Baffles remvoed) and a 250R trike with some good work done to it draged me. With Boyd, I'm not too sure how much I beat him, but it was usually 2+ quad lengths according to the guys. So let's just say that my port job I did myself has worked for me and I'm the fastest in my area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
