BTW, when I rolled, I was tossed 20-30 ft and my quad did a triple in the air, before landing on its top. I had all my armor on and walked away with minor injuries (for a change)!!!!!!!!![img][/img]</end quote></div>

That's the best way to walk away!

My buddy is like a cat.... He always lands on his ***. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Renthal has no idea who they're dealing with.



Yeah, they really don't![img][/img] My skill level on 4 wheels has gone up HUGE over the last year... I think the main thing saving my azz is I am one of the three "old guys" riding with mid 20's kids. Whenever us old folks get a lil wild (we think) the kids will take off and show us that we are puzzies!</end quote></div>

I'm still stuck in the "gotta show these kids how its done" phase. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

When will I grow up.... Or wake up. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

If we could weld mag covers with it, it would be worth it with these quads!</end quote></div>

Yeah! I'm sure we could. The dude said "any non-magnetic metal and galvanized steel".

But I'm not planning on having my chain come off anymore. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Sounds like a good wreck PG.

I bent my bars back...no need for new ones [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

When I ride with my dad, he's in his 50s, I'll slow down a little bit and let him think he is hanging with me then I drop the hammer and check out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] That works better on my RM cause the QS doesn't really have the power to "checkout"

 

I got nothing done on the LT this weekend. I did do some Snowboarding and with all the talk of wrecks, I took one really good fall on my board this weekend, but walked away with a sore chest and a bruised ego.

 

Hey bud do you happen to know the torque specs for 1986 LT 230S for the top end

And are they the same as the 250?

 

8mm nuts = 15-18 ft-lbs
6mm nuts = 5-8 ft-lbs

Probably the same, not sure.

Cam sprocket bolt = 7-8.5 ft-lbs

 

ok anybody in the middle of building how about ring gap. For a '86 lt 230s

 

Isn't is usually .004 for every inch of bore? Should be instructions with the piston. It depends on what the piston is made of.

 

Randy,
Just thought of the perfect test for those aluminum welding rod thingys!

I am gonna "weld/fill-in" all the lil chunks I have taken out of my skid plate.
THAT will for sure be a strength test, as I NEVER seem to miss a rock on the trail!

Will let u all know.
