The one company that did uphold their word was Twin Air, I contacted them 2 weeks before he said they'd be available, and sure enough, 2 weeks later they were. And I've already received them, how wonderful is that?.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

KANTCME - You think race companies can just whip out this **** before the bike is out??? No way... They dont know what its going to need. They have to blue print the engine out to see what would be best for it in HP and Design. Thats why Curtis lost so much business with the Z400 because he was perfecting the pipe and compared to Yosh its alot better pipe I can guarantee that for sure. This z250 Pipe that you cant see on his website is because he is still perfecting it. I seen it first hand, thats all I said is it will be out in the next week or so and believe me, it will be alot better pipe out there than you can purchase any where. Patience is what makes the whole process alot better. Go get your yosh, and you will see the competition fly right by you with the Sparks pipe hanging out the back cuz thats all you will see.

Hey, dont believe me. Then dont worry about this post.

 

RaptorOwner, I tend to agree with most everything you have posted. However, from experience with certain manufactuers and their latency with delivering stuff for this quad (endless promises, etc), it just seems to be taking a little longer then I've seen in the past, that's all. For example, more then a dozen companies had hop-ups for the YFZ-450 weeks before it was ever released (August right?) the Z has been seen over and over since the end of last year and widely available since late April. These Z250's, although not the "Performance quad of the year" should deserve some time with a few of those companies R&D departments, don't you think? I really like Sparks products and have heard nothing but great things about their engines as well as their work. Working in the NJ area for awhile I've met alot of riders that really advocate their products. I guess all I'm trying to say is that I wish the Z250 got alittle attention in the aftermarket world, no biggie.

BTW - I'm really looking forward to your review on the Sparks exhaust cause I've seriously considered getting my money back from DMC and going with Sparks if they can deliver before the DMC folks.

 

I know, I finally got a rear rack for the Z250, I just think if it were more of a high performance quad then they would have more but Curtis is working on it as fast as he can, actually my buddy is the one who donated his kids quad for the engineering of the pipe. By the way, Sparks did have the first pipe out for the YFZ450 cuz he knew that the bike was going to be a success and actually ordered one before they came out. I think its the demand of the products that keep it from having mods put out so quickly.

The pipe is really cool and I am going to wait for it myself. I kick myself in the butt sometimes purchasing the Trinity pipe for my Z400 but it was the only thing out there at the time.

 

Put the "Yoshi R&D" on mine and ...ehhemm..took out the spark arrestor. Tried to take off the top piece of the two piece air box lid and it coughed. Put the lid back to stock form and it runs like a champ! Cleaner and faster out of the hole![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] No jetting done to the carb, and still running stock air filter thus far. Pleased w/ the results!!!

 

Do you think it made enough of a differance to justify it's price tag ???

 

Without a doubt! I let my brother-in-law who goes for about 215 to 230 ride it and he said he could tell. He has the same exact bike only stock. I go for about 165. Bottom end and throttle response much better and that's w/out a filter or jetting...

 

Hey Perwho,
Question for you? I also live in the Canton area and was wondering if my brother and myself could come see your Z250 with pipe as we both own the bad Z250!! Give me a email at JadeAnneBaker@netzero.com so we can go riding sometime!

Sure , here is where I keep it ! I'll leave the garage unlocked for yah....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Dude, seriously!! I was just wondering if you would like to go for a ride sometime. I just moved up from Cincinnati and need some people to ride with. I am 34 yrs young, have 2 kids and just wondered if you would like to meet somewhere to go for a ride. So relax and loosen up a little, would ya!!! We could go someplace in the wide open public and meet (without our quads) if that would make you feel more ok about the situation.
