Looking good. How does the 600 go as a quad? Prob crazy

 

Its pretty fun, hard to get used to at first because of how you sit, but the back end slides at a twist of the throttle (gonna get a thumb throttle sooner or later) and its crazy fast. i cant wait to get it out on the open road and let her open

Here is a short video, sorry for the uncutness of it. I cant really get on it either, cause the chain starts to slip around the sprocket and its kind of scary, but i believe i hit 4th, but again, not really pushing it either. Thing is SO much fun.

 

For some reason, when going fast, if i pull in the clutch and down shift when slowingn, the bike cuts out. Anyideas?

 

hey dirtrider!
awesome job bro! seriously loving it!

i wanted to desperately ask you, did you run the bike with the airbox itself off? .... you see, i want to put k&n universal air filters instead and at the same time bypass the air valve ..... so just want to know if you did something similar to that or did you put back the air box?....

thanks bro! and enjoy your ride!

 

Yes, i have the air box and stock filter on it, only thing i dont have intake wise is the 2 hoses that branch off and go to the front of the bike, i assume they are ram air intakes (they go to the air sylenoid?),

i dont really see why they were needed, just have to feather the throttle at a dead stop to go (not really trying to hammer it anyway, i can wheelie it at will lol), so i didnt go about putting them on (dont have them, runs with out them, dont want to buy them ^.^)

 

the poor lil thang is cutting out from the trauma of being turned into a quad,if ya give her to me with time and therapy we can put her back on 2 wheels........

 

Haha, i would have kept her on two wheels, but i had no title or bill of sale for the parts i did have, and i didnt want to put all the money into buy a new frame and misc. parts to keep it on two wheels. If i ever find a rolling f3 with a title id gladly drop the motor from the quad. but if i did that, id make sure i could sawp em in and out. Quad is too much fun to just abandon.

 

Anychance anyone has any rashed/cracked plastics laying around? Im trying to get her to look pretty, and i want to put the fairings on the rear and sides of it, and then form fit some mud guards for the front and rear, get rid of that ugly *** white plastic up front thats on it now. im not looking to spend 300$ on fairings, it by all means does not have to be perfect. ill clean up what i can and fix what i can.

On another note, i got the Nerf bars welded on, and the exhaust mounted, though i believe im going to be moving it again, probably gonna cut a few inches out of the center of it (exhaust) and shorten it so it fits underneath the bike and clears the swing arm. i also though about having it turn out a bit but havent decided yet.

Once i start working again, i need to get the 520 conversion, front sprocket, chain, and new rear sprocket. Going to be taking it to the track a few times over the summer. Should be fun.

 

Well its been a while. Have not really gotten much done. Today i cut my exhaust, what i thought was stock... apparently isnt. i think its a Yoshi. any way.

What i started with



After it was chopped and smacked back togther



I polished her up a bit






And then Fitted her under the Bike.










Its extremely short, but it still creates back pressure, and the bike runs great with it. Sounds like a monster too.

Today i also got a HUGE battery for it... alot bigger then i wanted but it was free ^.^ So i had to redesign the battery box. It came out pretty good. Dont have any picture atm, But it holds the battery, and has enough space in it to hold The "brain" and a few extra wires for when i modify the tail later on down the road.

I stupidly didnt pay attention and ended up having to modify the underside of the seat to fit back on the bike, i put the battery holder to far forward and the fins under the seat hit it and wouldnt bolt down... 10 mins with a grinder and some hot melted plastic splattered on the hand, and she fit like a glove.


I have some aluminum diamond plate laying around... Thinking of making the tail section out of that, kinda like a steel (aluminum) fairing.

Tom. ill take a few more pictures and maybe a video of how it sounds.
