Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Started that Yamaha 426 and rode it a little bit, there's a lot of power there! Need to get a lot more practice!

 

those are great bikes! actually have a higher top end than the 450s

 

so about those tires...

 

I think we may end up gearing it lower just for our putting around on the farm or trail riding... people we telling me how much they had them because they couldn't get them started after flooding them... oh well, all a learning experience for me!

 

if you do a valve adjustment every year or so it will start up on the first 3 kicks every time. Just have to do some work on them.

And i dont see a reason to waste the money to gear it down just learn the feel of it and put around in 1st. no biggie.

 

I say again.....Damn I look good

 

The valves were adjusted this spring, its just tricky to learn the compression release lever while kicking it but I got it started after 5 kicks of ever being on that bike. And its a racing bike with 13/49 sprockets and I plan to put on at least 12/52 so I can putt up a rutty trail rather than riding the clutch at all

 

Stock it had 14/49. Most trail guys run a 14/52. Take the number of teeth on the back sprocket and divide by the number of the front.
Example: 48 div by 14 = 3.43 good top end or 52 div by 13 = 4.00 good bottom end. If you want a happy medium try 14 and 52 = 3.71 and so on.
the front turns 3.71 times to 1 turn of the back, this is your gear ratio.
the higher the ratio the lower the gear = bottom end torq
the lower the ratio the higher the gear = top end speed
Just dont try a 12 on front, even a narrow(cheap) chain scrubs the case.Requires spacers which offset chain which = more wear.

 

well fuck me

 

You want his 37's? haha

Is that the roof of a caged rig?

 

Vultures man I tell yah vultures, too bad I need the rims and tires for the next project Its like everyone just automatically assumes i won't need bad ass tires for my next rig

do people really think the next one wont be huge???!!!

 

I'm pretty sure you won't need 37's for the next rig unless it is another 2nd gen. Pretty sure you'll want some 42's or something haha

My question is, what the hell is Mark going to do with 37's? haha other than buy a new cv every other week


Now about that crawlbox you have

 

Mind blown

Nothing is up for grabs yet wow!

 

OK, maybe I'll just give a 52 tooth rear a try. Can I use the same chain or should I get a new one of those also? I'm gonna have a lot more questions for yall! I wanted a dirt bike since I was little but my dad was paranoid and said no dirt bike until I had my license, then I bought trucks and cars instead of a dirtbike

 

Yeah, I saw that on facebook and your build thread. haha

 

damn. thats some fancy ass MIG. but may be TIG..

 

brady...his 35s

which he will need to be rid of anyway if he keeps his truck and puts the 37s under it

depending on the tread of the 35s lol

and yes, imma greedy vulture

 

I figured. Just thought I would give you crap

Isn't he planning on DD'ing the 35's and wheeling the 37's though?

 

better not

once he sees how bad ass it looks on 37s he wont want to take them off

 

haha. But he is trying to keep it DD friendly That's why he chose 4.56's over 4.88's
