It can be rebent the same way it got bent the first time, forgetting to tighten the lugs. It was overlooked before, chances are it will be overlooked again. It doesnt matter what type of metal it is. Once its been bent, and then rebent it is weakened. If it was me I would replace it, I guess 18...

The way I look at it is how can you put a price on safety? It would be cheaper to replace the faulty part than it would be to pay for the hospital bills. I refuse to jerry rig anything on my quads or cars, my safety, and others, is far to important. my $5.00!

There is no pain in mixing gas. Lets see I run 32:1 in my LT250r. That works out to a pint of mix oil and 4 gallons of gas. All you do is pour the oil in the gas can than put in the gas, thats it. Give a shake for good measure. Banshees kick ass, yes you can trail them, but like all liquid...

Are you talking about the stud that the lugnut goes on? I personaly would replace it. Its weakened now from being bent and if you are able to bend it back without screwing up the threads it will be weakened more. Think of it like the tab on a pop can. Everybody has flipped it forward and back...

I also have to disagree about the lt-r450 being to wide for trails. My lt250r is as wide as the r450 and is 4 inches longer with my extended swinger and i can zip thru all the trails up here with no problem. Like what was said before the yfz and the trx both to me feel like your sitting on them...

Those T-4's kick ass. Guy I ride with has one with a 300 stroker. It is fast as hell. Parts are hard to find, but well worth the hunt. His quad eats my lt250r up and spits me out, and mine is built up pretty healthy.

That wouldnt of been him. That record was set with his raptor 660 with the jato rocket. He sold that quad to a collector who is going to put it on premanent display at Winchester, OR. or Florence, OR. cant remember which one right now. His new record setting attempt will be on the Raptor 700...

Dont know if its true or not, but for the last 18 years we have always left ours in gear and have never had problems with anything. If its strapped down properly, the quad isnt going to move back and forth more than 1/2 inch.

A guy in my duner club holds the land speed record on a rocket powered Raptor, I believe its like 154 or 156mph something like that. Well anyway he is getting ready to try and set a new record. I havent got to ride with this guy yet or seen his quad but its still cool. Here is his post about it...

Once you get them out, or if you decide to get a different carb go to www.jetsrus.com and order the stainless allen head bowl screws, they are worth every penny. I switched to them after I stripped the heads on those shitty phillip head screws. By the way i used vise grips to get them out. The...

That is some impressive air from that 90 ;D

Keep in mind that the 490 is not a counterbalanced engine. I dont know what it will be like in a warrior frame but in a blaster frame it vibrates the hell out of you and your hands start to fall asleep after 10 minutes or so of riding. As for frames that the 490 fits into the easiest, Blaster...

The warrior is one of the most reliable quads ever built. But just like any quad if it wasnt taken care of then it will have problems.

Hope you have better luck with the ceramic coating on your headpipe than I did with mine. I had the Big Gun EvoX on my 2000, and within a month it looked like someone sandblasted it. The midpipe was pretty rusty after 4 months. It had a great sound though with the quiet core removed. My EvoX...

Good deal. No need to cut the fenders on the blaster you can just unbolt them. I say its time to rip out that 200cc and drop in a 350twin like my old blaster ;D

I used primary drive on both of my warriors, They had about a year of use on them before I got rid of the quads and they still looked good. My new dune machine came with a steel front sprocket and a aluminum rear sprocket, I dont know how long they have been on but the rear sprocket is fish...

Aluminum sprockets wear really fast. IMO steel is the only way to go.

I keep both feet on the pegs, and use my clutch instead of the rear brake.
