Well this isn't 2001, 2002, or 2003, is it? :-\

atkrider: The only reason it puts out more HP stock is because it's not as detuned as the YFZ is. All the mods needed to be done to bring a stock YFZ to the same HP as the YZ are free mods like cam mod and removing the exhaust baffle. The YZ engine isn't any different besides a smaller bore size (or stroke?), therefore the power output will be the same. It's cool that you've put it together so cheap though, congrats!

 

RoostItUp how long did it take you to polish your side covers? looks sweet.

 

I'd say a good 10+ hours. It's quite time consuming, I didn't think it was gonna take as long as it did but once you start doin it you realize theres alot of tight places to try to buff. They use very thick and hard paint too, the best way to remove it is some heavy duty paint remover, but still it doesn't like to come out of the little nooks and crannies easily.

Plan on having sore hands afterwards [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] lol

 

your right i would have just bought a yz450 motor but they where all about 2,000 or more this was under 500 and i didnt want a yfz motor because of the hassle of changing over to a kickstarter if i dont have to.

 

Do u remember what brand of polish u used, does it matter?

 

atkrider,have you looked into a ktm525 motor? i had a 426 dirtbike and i used to get smoked by the 525 at dumont.they put out at least 10 more horse than a 426.

 

i have but they all want 2500-3000 for them.

 

those 525's are SICK!!!!!

 

DITTO!!!

 

exactly! most are free mods. the YFZ45 has basicly the same potential.

why do you need a kickstarter so bad? weight? they make kits for that. GYT-R makes one i know of. what are you putting the motor in??? an atk???
