Good lord, 175 to put a couple shocks, a-arms, and a swingarm on? Is it that your time is too valuble and the going rate it 60 -70 bucks an hour? I mean lets be honest, it takes all of 2-3 hours to put some a-arms and a swingarm on? And thats being generous


LOL mudslinger acting all bad azz. Its a DAMNED forum. Chill out. The guy can say what he wants and you cant do a damned thing about it, so you might as well cry and take it out on your sparring partner.

Well beech if you didn't live on the other side of the country you could volunteer. I don't act badazz usually even though you would consider me one. Oh also I only cry when I watch old yellar. Are you jus a good samaritan or is this a buddy of yours? I know this is a damn forum and you're wrong I did do something about it I wrote a smart a** comment, woooh I know. Didn't say I was gonna go up there and kick his butte or nothin. Besides I didn't train yesterday I thought it was Saturday, I had forgotten it by that time anyways. I've got some promising students you guys might see on pay per view in a few years.

When I am watching somebody yell I am usually yelling too, at them or with them.

I was talking to the person who owns the Sparks Z this weekend, he says Curtis is putting 15 more horse power to Josh's Z so look out. They are going to FWIII. You forgot to mention the kid from the Kawasaki shop who is just as fast if not faster than Josh. Lost to both bikes.

Short of investing a butt-load of money into the engine you can't beat the yzf450. Motor and all its got the Z beat my miles. For crying out loud you got the yzf 450 stock beating or keeping up with every top ATV out there. piped DS 650's ,Predator's Raptor's and banshees. And this quad is stock. The Z has problems trying to keep up with these bikes even with mods and these bikes are getting beat by the yzf 450 in drags and espially on the track. You better have deep pockets to keep up or even think about beating a stock yzf 450. Add a simple pipe and rejet the yzf and now its almost impossible. You can't compare the motor of the yzf450 to that of the z. Even though there only 30cc a part .There technologies and there hp numbers are light years apart. This is the quad to revolutionize the ATV industry after all.
