What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

lol my clear coat looks like shit

 

Actually it didn't turn out too bad, not quite done gonna change out toggle for button & bundle small wire loop so everything hidden (except start button )....

 

Oh , & I did wash it like everyone else here , if I didn't wash it , why even post in this thread right ???

 

Oh of course , with a full tank of gas too !!

No man, ya still need the key to energize & it still has that deadman switch too


Yeah buddy October will be a hell of alot cooler bro'...

I've been here in SD east county all my life & I can't remember an August as hot & shitty as its been...

 

why dont you get a new one ?

ya i haven't bolted it down yet, i just have it strapped down im seeing where exactly do i want it

 

how do you like your yzf? 250 or 450?

I am looking at an '07 yz250f right now...trying to get back into riding.

 

mines an 06 yzf250 i love it its been a really good bike, ive had it sense 06 and im a horrible owner i haven't done a vale adjustment sense i bought it. oil and oil filter i do change frequently and air filter. starts right up all the time, sometime i can even start it with my hand but ya awesome bike... my bro has a kawa and his friend has a kawa as well, and there always having problems starting it...

 

wow, really?? No valve adjusments...holy shit!

How many hours would you guess is on the bike?


I have pretty much eliminated kawi and ktm due to reliability issues.

I am a HUGE Suzuki fan (I have a DRZ-400) and I grew up on suzuki's. But the RMZ250 didn't get good till its newer years, and I cant afford to buy a new bike.


So its pretty much down to either a 05+ yzf or 05+ crf.

I rode an 07 crf250 and the thing was a fucking rocket ship. That unicam motor cranks some major power. Very comfortable to ride too. And the dual exhausts are neat


How do you like the 250's power? Whats your height/weight?

 

Great Job!

 

Full hydro completed... FINALLY.



Check out my build for more pictures... this shit is sick

Ya i know.... i really dont know how many hours exactly but sense i got it, me and my brother went every weekend 2 every other weekend for like 2 to 3 whole years then after that we went once in awhile. like this year and last year has only been the two years were we haven't gone that much because we work or dont have the time like the old days. we live in utah so we have mountains and desserts like just 30 mins away so we ride alot.

I dont know much about suzukis so i wouldn't know how good they are, Hondas are good too. I'm 6 feet and weigh 210lb's, and the power is good, i also put a quick shot on my carb so you can get a little bit more throttle response, worth it. the more power the better if you can get a 450 for the same price or couple buck more get it but again if your going to go around those years the weight is going to be different, 450's started to get lighter like in 09 i thing, but i might be wrong.

 

just fixed my dome light. damn switch base broke off and I had to jerry rig it. itll do for now.

 

Changed out my front differential oil this afternoon; not as hard as I thought it would be. When I got the drain plug off, there was some sludge buildup on it. I don't believe it had ever been changed before . I was trying to go by the directions I found on this site but it turns out my fill plug was on the front of the case instead of on the same side as the drain plug; once I realized this, the only other problem was getting the plugs off. PB Blaster and an added length of pipe was the answer

 

Indeed, Its always best to presoak in PB and start with the fill plug then the drain plug. its amazing what these small tips can do

 

Put the 5100's on the rear.

 

Have not been able to get to it yet, but soon these frowns will be upside down....
