^^ thanks for the rep bud! ive really been scrapping as far as cash for the build goes. ahah. im also parting out a 1995 f250 in my spare time so hopefully i can have this done for ice riding in the winter

^^wish i caught that listing on time! ahaha, i've been busy rebuilding the head on my buddys 92 prelude so the garage has been a strictly car oriented zone for the past week and a half. havent made progress on the quad and havent stopped in here much either. do you have a price in mind for...

thanks for the comments guys, glad you like the build. as far as painting the a arms and swinger blask, alot of friends have suggested it after it was all together, but i honestly like the silver so chances are it wont happen. im thinking either black wheels or chrome? not really sure on that...

Wow, life really got the better of this project. nearly a month late from when i planned on having the quad to this state, but pictures of it going back together are finally up! i think its gone pretty smoothly aside from money being an extremely limiting factor in wrapping up the project...

those rear tires are mean! and sweet bike, especially for free

Im assuming that the cylinder is already taken off the engine for inspection and you just want an idea of what you're looking for. good signs (healthy engine that needs no boring) are good crosshatching (visible in decent lighting, nice 45 degree or so angle all the way down the bore, all the...

Sounds like a tight combo. why not document it over in the projects section?

the 87 psi is way low if its an accurate reading. the power loss could be due to a lean condition, but with 87 psi of compression, jetting isnt going to solve a whole lot. any chance there are still bits of metal in the crankcase being sucked up into the cylinder and causing premature wear of...

remove airbox lid, clean the filter up. i really dont see why you object to rejetting the bike a little though bro? its not nearly as bad as it seems once you actually look and see what is involved.

people seem to like the lrd and vito's fat bastard pipes. why not get a custom one built?

honestly i had no intention of doing the work on my own when i mentioned "ideas" i meant something to bring to shop and talk about doing with them. but the videos have kind of made me look into DIY after some practice

i added everyone ahaha. heres mine. Justin. R.I.P Jeremy Lusk. (Justin Corey) | MySpace

you are from massachusetts after all! ;)

i may be wrong, probably am now that im thinking it out but ill put it out there to get torn apart by someone who really understands suspension. dirtbikes and high end mtbs have inverted forks because the oils are more immediately "available" when the fork starts its stroke. not exactly a shock...

rebuild looks awesome. ive got one going on too. put the roccomended amount of oil in the bottom end, cant think of a measurement off the top of my head, then ride it warm it up completely and drain it again. measure the amount that comes out. if its the same measurement as what went in, then...

wish i had a camera when my old kdx80 filter finally came off. ahahah. that thing was a basketcase and a half!

lean with a 420 size main is rare i'll give you that. it sounds like its running fine, esp with the plug color which is for the most part exactly what a well jetted engine's plug should look like. no chance of an air leak?

not trying to start anything, and im not gonna bad rep you or anything like that, but was that directed at me? if so, i try to be as helpful as i can with general mechanical questions on here, just new to the platform so i'll admit ive got a heap of learning left to do. just saying man, no need...

ahaha yeah, kinda started the morning on the wrong foot over here!

p.s. im jealous. everyone inthis thread so far has a complete quad as their signatre and all i have is the bottom end thats going in my project ahahah. huge fail on my part.
