I might a set of z400 hubs. I will check sometime today.

They fit the 26 spline 250 axle for sure. I can't say for sure on the 500 as I don't own one so I never researched it. Hopefully someone who knows for sure will chime in.

LT500 axle is 26 spline and the LTR450 & the Z400 hub are a direct fit, though the LTR hubs will give you another .75" wider and you can buy .375 spacers from durablue for $20 to get another .75" for a over all 1.5" wider axle with just the hub swap.

Yes they'll fit the 500 axle. I also have a set of 5-lug 8" blue labels if you get those other tires.

Any progess with your seat yet. I like the x rex tire made by Gbc which their not called that anymore. But they hook up really well. On the road or dirt. I had ambushes on my 250r and all they did was spin in mub or on the road. Also when you get your quad back up and running you going to do the July ride in Wv.

No man my schedule is so jaked until after the second week of August it's ridiculous. Between my day job then the upholstery business at night and weekends and squeezing in drag meets and 30th birthday parties and bachelor party. I'm going with the brand new 4 snow's on Ltz rims so gonna be picking up a set of z hubs. I have brand new mud sharks on now and brand new razor 2's in the front. Need a 2 ply for drag racing they expand 40% which makes you go faster down the strip.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #208 on:** June 14, 2013, 03:38:35 pm »

$100 tires still have $68.22 price stickers on them. Rims are lt450r itp aluminum.

Update on the seat it's delayed, my dad got called into work tomorrow when he was planning on putting the pattern together.

Use something for trail riding a little stiffer. Maybee 2 different sets, one for drag and one trail riding. I like 6 ply for the tight hard turns. Make the quad handle so much better. I had a set on the front that didnt have a high ply rating and they rolled over really bad on this little wood track we made. Switch over Razr 2s on the front and x rex on the back both 6 ply. It was crazy how much better the quad handles the tight turn of this little track. Or you use the tires that came with your quad as trail tires. Are you going to use 2 ply front and back for drag racing or just the back.

Motoman991 · « **Reply #211 on:** June 15, 2013, 05:37:27 am »

That's a killer deal on those tires.

Dangerouspower · « **Reply #212 on:** June 15, 2013, 07:18:23 am »

Yep you did good on those tires you beat the pro wedges price by $20.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #213 on:** June 15, 2013, 07:34:38 am »

250RWV I'm running razor 2's on the front for trails and drags I'll be running mud sharks that are pictured on my roller now and I'll run the 4 snow 2 ply snow paddles for drag racing.

Thanks guys the guy I bought them off has two sets of paddles one with rims one without both have only been to silver lake once. $70 for the ones without rims and $100 with. Gonna pick up the paddles with rims in a week or two if he still has them.

Damn $20 for axle spacer??? i made aarona40 a set of ss axle spacers for free. and you dont need beadlock for prowedges i run 2lbs in all my quad tires and havenever in my life popped a rear bead.

Cunningham_821 · « **Reply #215 on:** June 15, 2013, 11:24:15 am »

Im interested to see how snows do ive had guys tell me your better off to throw ure money in toilet then buy 4 snows. ive personally never ran them. Lmk how they work. I dont run my prowedges they get super sketchy at 90mph when they blow up.

Dangerouspower · « **Reply #216 on:** June 15, 2013, 11:25:31 am »

You don't have to but it your gonna be bouncing off rocks and rough trails it's a good idea too. And I've heard or rather read the same about the 4 snow.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #217 on:** June 15, 2013, 06:30:42 pm »

Gonna run them tomorrow on some 150 ft drags at a field meet on my dads kfx400. Also motoman is going too and gonna be running his hybrid will likely bolt them in his bike too and see how they do. (This is all provided the rain doesn't shut down the drags) I'd like to get some pro wedges they're just super hard to find and I thought $100 for brand new tires and itp aluminum rims was a pretty good deal.

Dangerouspower · « **Reply #218 on:** June 15, 2013, 07:54:56 pm »

$120 for new set of pro wedges.

Motoman991 · « **Reply #219 on:** June 16, 2013, 06:59:19 am »

The track is only 150ft? Shiiiiit. Hopefully the two stroke class is small so I can win hahaha.

Get some video motorman and buckeye

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #221 on:** June 16, 2013, 05:11:49 pm »

Here's one of me racing a kfx450r on my dads kfx400

My brother running his buell xb9r

The rotax 900 we think that won it all.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #222 on:** June 16, 2013, 05:24:53 pm »

Buck did Motoman ride today with you. Hey you should come down to the drag race at the end of August in my area. 2 strokes v 2 stroke and pokes vs pokes. It about the same as what you was doing their or a little longer if your intersted il find out more info about it. Looks like fun you was having today.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #223 on:** June 16, 2013, 05:36:04 pm »

Yeah motoman ran too he was having tranny or clutch issues I'll let him explain what was going on with his bike. End of August might be doable normally run on 300ft drags these were 150 and all about the hole shot.

Motoman991 · « **Reply #224 on:** June 16, 2013, 06:45:37 pm »

i had a fun time. I enjoyed seeing the bikes and quads run. You can see my brother and I in the Rotax video around 7 seconds holding our ears lol. My LT has some sort of issue. Clutch was acting up then it wouldn't stay in second gear. I was beat by about a quad length to a Honda 250R while keeping it in just first gear. I'll be taking off the clutch cover tomorrow. I'm sure the clutch is toasted. I could see shavings in the tranny fluid.
