I definitely didnt want to do the jetting myself on this motor, so I removed the spark arrestor and was ready to put it back in just in case the motor was running too lean.

After running the bike in the dunes for a couple of minutes I checked the plug and it looked good. I really did feel a big difference on the powerband.

As far as 2nd gear starts are concerned, I didnt really get on the throttle that hard this trip. I am still babying it. Maybe next trip, but the front end definitely likes to stay in the air.

I dont know the answer to that question, I eagerly await the answer myself. I have about 10 more hours and then I am going to have my valves adjusted and really let'er rip in the dunes! But that wont be until November,...

I am looking to buy another ATV i used to own a 200sx man that has been some years ago but since i get to ride afriends i just have not bought one though but i want to get one i want to get maybe a blaster. I like the quadzilla but it is fast and i have been on alot of Atv and i still have not been on one as powerful as this 500 Quadzilla but i dont want that much power do you know of any one that has a blaster for sale

I like the look of the Rapture i ad to save that pic of yours if you don't mind

Actually as far as graphics are concerned that is the way it comes from Yamaha. I will probably buy one later on after I put some scratches on the factory kit.

Why does Pismo suck. I will be in S.F. next week and was thinking, just for fun, going down there and renting a couple of ATV's and hitting the dunes. Is it a waist of time?.

First of all the weather there is about 90% of the time on the sucky side. It is usually always overcast, cold and windy there.

Secondly the quads are old, beat up, Honda Recons and they are $$expensive to rent$$. I think $75 an hour or more.

Lastly, the dunes are treacherous, one a scale of 1-10 for Unpredictability Pismo gets a 10! You have to be a complete moron to ride fast at Pismo, because you can never tell at all what type of dune is in front of you.
