Title: Calling out!!
Post by: Andys92 on November 18, 2019, 09:06:59 am
Just wondering how many of the older original guys still have their quads and or ride them.
It's kinda depressing reading through some of the posts/topics then seeing that it's been like 5 or 6 years since these were posted.
Would be really nice to try to get this site active again ?

I still have mine.  Doesn't really ever get used much.  When the weather is warmer my supermoto xr650r gets all the attention.  I plan on never selling my hybrid though.

Still have my 500.  Only gets ridden when i go to the dunes once or twice a year - Spring/fall.  Didnt make it this fall though.

When i went back in the spring, there were only 2 quads in our group and both were 500s.  Everything else were new SXS's.  The 500s were the only things that didnt break.  Go figure. lol

I only ride once a year in the dunes, or when I bother getting ready for the dunes.

Just took my 500 out to Glamis for the first time in 4 years... I must say, it was an absolute blast to ride that beast again and I won’t wait that long to do it again! Such a night and day experience from riding a 4-stroke.

Ok guys, keep those smokers going!

Although I have a yfz450 I still take my hybrid also when I go to glamis. A lot of guys have SxS's now. But that is ok. It looks like I will be getting another hybrid because of it.

I guess most people go to quadracer on facebook. I rarely go on facebook. It would be nice if this site and quadracer on facebook could interact.

Still have both my 87 250's...One I've owned for a looooooooong time and one is a hybrid...Still ride both as they are the only quads I have at the moment...Just haven't had the time to get out much the past couple seasons...In the process of install a billet clutch basket,clutch plates,etc on the hybrid.

I don't have facebook so no idea what it's like on there...Wish there was more traffic in here like before.

Fairly new to the site, but not to quadracers. Have an 85 in my basement thats taking too long to complete. So hard to find the right parts short of spending a small fortune. Motor is completely rebuilt. Stock frame. +2 arms. Chromoly swingarm. Graves seat. Have some elka front shocks but working on relocating the mounts. Graydon proline bumpers and nerfs. Bassani pipe and silencer. Will post some pics soon if anyone cares to see

Still have my LT500. Bought it in 1990 and have had blast riding through the years. Currently resurrecting the old quad as it has been sitting idle a few years. Sent the motor out to Jerry awhile back for a refresh and looking forward to getting it all back together. This sight is a gold mine of information that has given me motivation to make updates and improvements to the old beast.

Post by: 2StrokeBandit on June 18, 2020, 12:08:02 am
thx buddy ... still some minor wokrs to do since the banshee shocks upfront are too soft. thinking about the yfz450 shock mod.

and also the rear swinger is still the stock one but the aftermarket ones are way too expensive :(((

all in all Im gonna ride it this year thru summer and tear it apart in winter for reworks ;)
Title: Re: Calling out!!
Post by: BadMoonRacing500 on June 18, 2020, 12:51:47 am
Try to get stiffer front springs. The shocks might be good, you just need the proper spring rate for your weight and the fact you are on a road.
Title: Re: Calling out!!
Post by: 2StrokeBandit on June 18, 2020, 04:12:46 am
Stiffness already maxxed out :( Looks I am still too heavy, a fat bastard, respectively :)))
Title: Re: Calling out!!
Post by: Rainman56 on June 18, 2020, 05:00:05 am
I did the YFZ shock conversion and it works well for me...Plus you can adjust the compression and rebound as an added bonus...:)
Title: Re: Calling out!!

Take a look at these swingers from Terrafab.  Anyone dealt with them?

Never dealt with them but have dealt with Metal Tech for A-arms.........Metal Tech was great to deal with and everything fit perfect.
