has anyone with a Z250 removed there s/a and heelgaurds? How did it run? did it look better and was the heelgaurds easy to remove or was it a hassle.

 

I didnt remove the spark arrestor, but i did take off my heel guards. Man i gotta take a picture. My quad looks so cool now. but there are problems if you take it off. 1- the mudguards rub into the plastic and leave it stained brown and it takes alot of work to get it out. 2- the mudguards also scratch the powdercoat off the bar thing behind the footpegs. I reccomend that you get them powdercoated or do what i did- Put 2 whole cans of spray paint on it and then about 1/2 a can of clear coat. It works really good and i havent had any problems. Also the last problem is the little bracket things that the mudguards screw into will look bad. I cut them off with bolt cutters, but if you have a grinder thing, you should use that. Then i made them match my nerf bars. I took black dog collars so i could use the nylon for webbing. It looks really good. I hope i get my film developed soon. 04 SUZUKIZ250 took his off too ask him too

 

I took my spark arrestor out of my Z. Now it actually sounds mean. And the heelguards off make the quad look a lil more sportier. Just the plastic is a little more flimsy. I am also cutting the part where the heelguards bolt into the plastic.

 

yeah my plastic was really flimsy too i just drilled 2 holes in each side and toied the fenders to the frame with zip ties. let me know how your fenderc come out when you cut them, also did you have the same problems that i did?

 

No..i didnt have any of the problems u did.

 

try and get some picks, i want to see them.

 

yeah i will

 

I also took the s/a out,,,,,,sounds better but no differance in power.....

 

cool thanx you guys
