Gotta be Resourceful
- From: Younggun95
-
Description:
When you don't work in a full on shop, and have access to a million different tools, you have to be resourceful. Being a college student, I build professional level race quads out of my trailer in storage. Ive been working on quads for long enough that I have acquired most of the tools that I need on a daily basis.
But every once and a while you run into some problems. Especially with loc-tited parts that haven't been taken off since the factory installed them. Axle nuts in particular can be a pain. I have the really big crescent wrench, but it was still fighting me.
The first mistake I made was too take the drive sprocket off before I broke the axle nut loose, so I had to use a large screw driver to keep the axle from turning. It worked, but my screw driver is a little bent now. The next small problem was not having jack stands. Its best to put a jack stand underneath each side so the quad doesn't tip when pushing down on the axle. So instead I put a wheel and tire under the swingarm.
The green loc-tite just wouldn't break loose, and the breaker bar that I carry in my trailer wasn't big enough for the massive crescent wrench I was using. What did I do? Become resourceful. I have the leg for a table that sets up in my trailer that was sitting in the bottom of a cabinet and it worked perfectly. Put it on the end of my wrench and with a little more coercesion I was able to break the axle nut loose.
I wasn't replacing the axle, but watch for the next photo that shows why I was taking the axle out in a brand new quad.
Ill be at WORCS this weekend so follow me at www.twitter.com/WatersRacing for race updates

YFZ450R Tuning Upgrade
- From: Younggun95
-
Description:
This is a very simple upgrade, slightly expensive, but a very important modification for any Fuel Injection quad. When you start making changes like adding an exhaust, modifying the air box for a new filter, and especially changing up the motor you have to change the air/fuel ratio. I am running the DynoJet PCV Powercommander. They also have a PC3, but the 3 has a lot less adjusment available for it. If you want to make sure that you are running the optimum ratio, or you like to play around with your fuel injection to change how it runs, get the PCV. Most of the major exhaust companies will have a map for their specific exhaust that you can download to your programmer.
Dynojet also has a set of maps that you will get on a CD with your programmer, and can also download more from their website. I am currently running a custom map for my modifications. When tuned just right I was able to get 3-4 more HP from my quad. But dont trust just anyone to do this for you. Many people can tune your quad for you to get max HP, but you could be putting your motor in serious danger. I could get more power from my programming, but Im running a safe fuel to air ratio.
You can see I have a bag over the programmer. You DO NOT EVER want to get water in it. Water can ruin your programmer pretty easily. Always cover it somewhow when washing your quad, and if you ride XC races, leave it covered permanetly. Mine stays covered in the bag, and it also gets foam packed around in so it doesnt move around, and the foam soaks up water..
