i wanted to write in and thank the mojave forums. i bought a brand new mojave on 12/31/03, and after reading the forums realized i needed to mod it. so after a couple of days, on the computer, i ordered all of my mods, installed them, and rode it last saturday. couldn`t be happier. thank you, and if any has any questions feel free to ask away. one other thing, whatever happend to lurch, haven`t seen anything from him in awhile.

 

Great to hear that you are pleased. By the way Lurch is alive and well. I have his engine for a freshening up and am building him a Greene Streak Racing swing arm. He will be ready to race this spring with his mojave all redone.

 

thanks for the reply on lurch, i never have seen photos of his quad, but i hear it is nice. by the way your super mojave is looking real good. i build streetrods and custom cars for a living and have tig and mig welders, ive been thinking of extending my swing arm myself(i`m a certified welder.) any suggestions if i do decide to do this. thank you

 

hay i am thining about ubgrading my mojave because it just doesnt have enough power. i did some searches and one guy has his mojave running around 50 hp for about 3 grand us. i am slightly leaning towards upgrading and modifying mine radically instead of buying a bigger bore. is it worth it for the power gains and is it really noticible. what other quads can you hang with on your moded mojaves

 

when i rode mine on saturday, i took my to lokatas and a friend brought a 250r. the mojaves quite a bit faster then the lokatas, although the lokatas seem to have a little stonger bottom end. i could do all the jumps and hillclimbs as the 250r, but topend there`s no way(didn`t expect it to). i raced a 250x, and won, but he was stock. thats just with out of the box mods, no real motor work done.

 

hey KYBABYN what are the mods that the guy did ti it's mojave for running around 50 hp.

thanks

you can send it in my e-mail: bbob@expatries.org

 

his name is husker jim. 52 hp to be exact.

 

what did he did to his mojave???

 

uh i think it sais in his profile but if not its in one of the mojave posts i think about carb swaps from an ex. i remember he had port and polish like stage 3 some kind of other head work,hardened rockers, stainless valves, piston, 400ex carb on special intake, some kind of valve springs, pipe and all the air filter stuff.

 

Anybody have any ideas on a good axle for a '87 Mojave 250? We are fixing one up and discovered rear axle is bent. Dang nabbit. Thanks for any ideas.
