    Yea I basically use mine the same trail riding and playing in the back yard. My motor is a lot older it’s a 1986 but I completely rebuilt it. Like I said previously I like the 13/40 so far only have about 5 hours on that setup, but pulls great thru all gears. In the process of switching to...

    Yea I am currently running a 13 and 40 tooth and I like it for now. At least I can make it up the hill in my backyard now! I changed the front because I was worried about going to big in the rear and losing ground clearance or not being able to use the guard. What year is your Yz motor?

    Front caliper bolt length??

    Hey everyone just trying to see if anyone knows or if anyone can help me out with the length of the front brake calipers bolts? I am about to do a hydraulic front brakes swap with parts from a 2004 blaster. Problem is there’s no calipers with it (I had to order new ones) so there were no...

    Ok thanks I was just going to try it since I seen two other guys with the same swap was running a 12 tooth. One said he had a 12/40 and the other was 12/46. I really just need something smaller than the 15tooth that was already on the yz250 when I got it. Don’t get me wrong it’s fast as hell...

    To those that I know have done the swap like 3wh33l3r rid3r, YZ Otis, best,Crash89, Tbrock77, and anyone else that I don’t know of just wondering what sprocket sizes did you like and end up using?

    Hand guard choices

    Yeah I figured that would be a issue that’s why I was asking to see what fits best. Please let me know if you get it figured out. Do you have front drums or hydraulic brakes?

    Finally got the banshee front shocks painted and mounted. Have not rode yet with new shocks waiting on my 400ex rear shock to come. But I can already tell a difference my front end actually moves now. Even just me sitting on it it will go down a couple inches and I only weigh 150lbs! Blaster...
