But all the work pays off when you open it up for the first time.

Your probably right, but yet I've ran into another problem. I thought I had all the parts to do the water pump aswell but it seems like I have the wrong impeller? It just flops on the shaft which isn't doing me any good. Anyone know if the 250 stuff will work? Or can someone snag a pic of the 500 impeller for me? I have all the clutch internals in and now just need the right impeller and new gaskets for stator and clutch cover. Thanks for the help guys.

Yeah, until something stupid breaks on the second ride and you're down for another week.
That's my luck anyway LOL

The impellers tend to wear out of the shaft area. Common problem.
The 250 impeller is not the same as the 500.

Ten 4! Thanks bud.

I have a version of the go pro but it doesnt do well at all after the wreck I had with it a year ago. Very choppy and crappy quality now and for some reason has a dark spot in every video.
Screw that chuckie I hope the guy behind him has a gopro!! Lol
Haha hell yeah let's hope that's the case! I'll probably just have my friend video it from a good digi cam. The only thing I think you will be disappointed with is the track. It's a neighbor of mine's and it's a good practice track just not any big jumps really but it's relatively fast and technical. You'll atleast get a general idea of how she performs which is what we want huh?!

If I can gear it to pull 200 yards(should be no problem) and keep it from choking down in low speed corners it'll be a beast to be reckoned with! I can use the clutch ike a pro when she's feeling lazy so I'll make it come alive no matter what. I'm getting excited now lol. What reeds do you suggest for mx? Delta V3?

Just got back home and in town with a 40hour a week job so I'm starting back on it this weekend. Not a whole lot left to do so it should wrap up quick with pics and vids to boot. Also acquired an 08 CRF450 dirtbike that is going to donate me her engine and wiring for another ltr hybrid. I'll stay up to date better this time not having to leave town months at a time.

Glad you're back on here looking forward to seeing this thing finished and ripping. It's gonna be the blue print for when I do my hybrid into a yfz or ltr chassis.

Ok here's where we stand as of this very minute. Engine is complete besides cleaning the old paint off of it..... may or may not run long before it needs rings though and everytime i've tried getting a set they been back ordered... PITA! Fixed wiring from motoplat ignition and bought a hotter coil for it. Frame is 90% done but I'll have to mount the engine, intake, carb, and exhaust to see where i can add some gussetts and finish my haggard ass shock mount. Also have to reem the swingarm bolt hole in engine to except LTR450 swing arm bolt. Original plan was YFZ450 bolt and collars but once tightened down it still had a little play in it. No need in risking throwing a chain into the cases so once I finish that up we will be well on our way to a SHAKEDOWN!! Bare with me on pics but i'll get them coming your way ASAP!

Ok got it together and running on the bottle(gas) for initial tuning. Took probably 30 kicks to get it to crank first time, ran horrible but idled perfect. That was late last night so I didnt get to ride it or anything but I'm gonna play with the ignition timing and jetting some more. The only thing that I've changed since 7 months ago when i first cranked it is reed cage, main jet, and timing plate. Went from stock reeds to Delta V3 CF ones, 300 main jet to a 280, and I thought i set the timing plate exactly as the old one was but that's where I'm going to start at. Also do you guys run the insert in the V3's? What exactly does it do as far as power curve goes with it in and out?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUZUKI-500-LT500R-LT500-QUADZILLA-QUADRACER-VFORCE-3-REED-CAGE-1987-/130991888373?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e7fb997f5&vxp=mtrThose are the same ones I bought. See the piece in the open end of the cage in the item pic? Mine pops in and out and I was kinda guessing leaving it in would make more bottom end power than the open throat. Correct?
I just finished building a new revised kicker. Still could use a little more work, but I've been messing with it for 5 hours trying to get the right bends, angles, and length and it's close enough for the time being.
7/8 of an inch shorter than stock lt500, somewhat copied the look of the Yoshi LTR kicker. Just used steel instead of alluminum. Try to get pics of that for ya'll in a few hours.
After the family leaves from gift swapping and chowin down I'll get back to setting the timing and checking for intake/exhaust leaks. Just bare with me, it's coming along.... slowly. I honestly think by this weekend, weather permitting, it'll get to hit some humps and jumps....... possibly the dump.

Timing is set to fire 2.2mm before TDC now with the motoplat. Gained some more compression and realized rather quickly that the shortened kicker I made was a mistake. Now I need to make a longer dirtbike style(funny bends) to get the leverage needed and clear my nerfbar's inner heel guard rail...or possibly find something that'll go on the quadzilla kicker shaft and manipulate it to work. Any ideas of kickers that are compatiable?

Another quick question.... see alot of posts about people running huge carbs like lectron 48's and what not... my question is can you run FCR carbs with 2 stroke apps? If the accel pump is the problem in this case i know how to block it.... If you can use it I think it may benefit me when I build the intake I want for it. It comes straight out the reed port up 3 inches and out 2 inches to get it above factory LTR shock mount and be level. As for now I've modified the shock mount to work with factory intake boot but I'm not beyond welding a stock one back in and building the intake since it will be MX'd.

Problem after problem, working bugs out and just trying to make it run good first before I post a full step by step write up, pics, and videos. Firing is breaking down now for some reason after sitting all winter..... going to try and round up all the stock electronics for it and take this motoplat off until I get it running good then I'll go back to the hotter ignition and fine tune it. In all honesty progress is stagnent at the moment due to work.
