Hybrid Warrior a.k.a Frank

[HybridWarrior824]

This build started out its journey just like every other build on here, a bone stock Warrior.



That turned into a Wiseco .5mm over stock 10.25:1 flat track quad with a 37mm FCR, ported head and a Dyna programmable cdi.



More to come very soon....

Sick! Get a mods list filled out and some more pictures.

This motor was to the point it needed a rebuild and I wanted to take the build in a different direction. This is where I started looking for a donor motor and happened to find a 2004 YZ250F that had a fresh rebuild.

Once I got it home and the engine pulled I checked it over and didn't like what I found. It was not a fresh build and after tearing it down there was a rock in the bottom end, so I figured if it's getting rebuilt we are building it. Made it a fresh 290 big bore, sent the carb out to Jet Labs to get taper bored from 37 mm to 40 mm and had the head ported to maximize gains.








Picked up a Vortex CDI and YFZ450 radiator.

Now this lead to the fun part of getting this to sit in and work properly.

Here is where the fun began, it was time to modify the frame..
Since this is a dedicated race bike i wanted to shed as much weight as possible and also add as much strength in weak spots.
I cut out everything on the rear subframe, added gussets and added a integrated skid plate to the front.






Added mounts for the radiator and oil tank.




And then had to do a mock up to figure out wehre to modify the stock swing arm to fit the rear motor mount.

 

[HybridWarrior824]

After figuring out I cut too much out of the first swing arm I redid it again on another and this time it was a perfect fit.



and boy did it look good in there.



then i wanted an anti vibe stem, after hours of research and comparing stems i found that a banshee stem i could get to work.
After modifying it slightly it fit like a glove and gave me +1.5" anti vibe stem.

 

[HybridWarrior824]

Finally the engine was all put together and it was time to finish mock up.






Found out the DRD exhaust can was a little too long so chopped it down to make it fit.

 

[HybridWarrior824]

Now that mock up is complete it was time for final install.

 

[HybridWarrior824]

then we were off for the first start and some test and tuning. let me just say that this little thumper is a RIPPER!!!!





and the first start start/ride.

And another video, was fighting the carb falling off the head this day so it wasn't running 100%. air filter mount was loose so it was walking off that way.

That 250 looks at home in there.

That 250 looks at home in there.

Yes it does, I wanted it to appear as factory as possible.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

That's so awesome. I'm nominating you for elite.

Thank you man, I appreciate it!! I wish I would have taken more pics during the build

I would just get some more out in a field or something.

 

[HybridWarrior824]

I would just get some more out in a field or something.

I will once it warms back up and I get it back together, have it torn apart to adjust that valves and figure out a better support for the carb.

Nice build man have you thought about a raptor 700 round carrier and swingarm ?

Nice build man have you thought about a raptor 700 round carrier and swingarm ?

When this one decides to let go, I think I'm going to go with a yfz or get a Hansen warrior round house swinger made for the carrier I have on the shelf.

 

[HybridWarrior824]

Finally got a few minutes to check the valves and ended up finding a few things wrong. Exhaust valves were out of spec, got those reshimmed, front motor mount for the swap is cracked and has a ear broke off. Now to get some metal and rework this mount to keep it from cracking again.
