Nice bike, let us know how the rally toes
Went this route because of the fact that the engines are pretty bulletproof. Also with the carb set up, I didn't have to cut the back bone on the frame to clear the throttle bodies on a fuel injected setup. Not that it is a huge deal, but for the first go around, it was easier.
For the next bike though, it will be fuel injected. Already have the donor in the shop!!!!!
Nice makes sense to me! Rip away sir!!
The Rally was a blast!!! Gord the duner 500 and got on the drag bike a bunch. Bike ran great until later on Saturday a the hill. Broke a weld on the shifter rolling into stage on the downward launch. Good thing I noticed before I launched the bike!!!!!
Saw some wicked fast Raptors, Banshees, 450's and few cnversions. Sean was there with his 1340 Zilla. Gorgeous bike and fast as all get out!!! Not to mentions Sean was super cool to chat with and even gave my bike few launches. (Broken shifter so we locked it in 2nd and he let the clutch fly and ran it out in second gear. Bike looks like a total animal with him on it out of the hole. I need to go on a diet like the bike did. More changes to the bike soon!!!!!!!
I will get some video up as soon as I get them.
If you need to email them to me and have me post them I can still do that. Glad you had a good weekend and rode safe.
Awesome! When I get the videos I will send them. Thank you...

Just a few of the Cuervo Raptors in our camp...
That's a pretty serious sand shredder!

Here's a Few pics of the bikes out at Raptor Hill. Working on the video. As soon as I have it I will send it off to get posted!!!
Ran the bike last weekend at Moses Lake. Made a quick trip over to run at the drags. They had starting lights setup but no timing equipment. Just heads up fun running. They didn't get started until almost 8 Saturday night. It got dark quick and I was only able or felt comfortable to make about 4 passes. They did have a light plant setup shinning the down track but once you got far enough from it was pitch black. And with no headlight on the bike and a puch of crazies running around I just parked it.
But the bike ran the best it ever has I feel. Friday the bike was running horrible. Tinkered with it for awhile and couldn't figure it out? Down of power and was missing and popping real bad. I thought it could have been a fuel issue because I switched over to run the bike on VPR. Finally traced it too find out it was only running on 3 cylinders!!!!!!!! Plug wire wasn't seated all the way. Then it ran fine... Only thing I can think is that we hooked up the launched controller and probably did something.
Saturday morning we made a gearing change. Went from a 60 to a 65 tooth. Left the front at 13. Readjusted the launch controller and it was ready. Bike ran awesome on a few test passes. Made a tire pressure change before the racing and it was dialed!!!!!! Bike launched hard and straight. Totally different bike now. I love it even more!!!!!
When we hooked up the launch controller I also change the clutch from a hydralic to a cable. Had to use a perch with a micro switch to activate the controller at launch. Right now the bike launches at 8500 rpm and hits the top end rev limiter at 10500 rpm. I like the positive feel of the cable better than the hydralic. I think I am gonna back down the launch rpms a little and adjust the tire pressure.
omg, just stumbled across this thread.
