Yamaha 350cc trike idea. To be the yamaha 350x..with a pic

[cragster]

I have been thinking about a tri-z frame with the raptor/warrior electric start 350 cc 6 speed engine.raptor shock in the back. raptor rear plastic and some front plastic that matches yamaha blue.. I still need some stuff liek the rear tires but its not to bad of a deisgn...
The YTZ350X!!!! :beer

[mean350]

im all for it as long as you know it aint no honda!!! hahahahahaha

[Fox250R]

why bash honda? you cant afford one?

[250r'en +TCB]

why bash honda? you cant afford one?
:lol: :w00t: :beer Yeah they tend to go for more money because they are worth it! Though other companies make a good machine every once in a while like the YFZ or the tacate, ALL honda's machines have one thing in common, they are bullet prrof reliable!!!!:w00t: :beer

Good luck with that YFZ350X and please just don't make it look like a hack job! Make it look like it rolled off the factory floor or don't do it at all!!!:beer

[willcamach]

My question is why would you want to slow your z down with one of those crabby motors????? +

[westcoast TRI-Z]

That actually looks pretty sharp! Although the warrior motor is bulletproof, I dunno if I personally would want one, maybe a 350X motor

[ATCR250R]

Well its kinda a cool idea but I would just leave a 250 2 stroke engine on it. Sorry. :D

[Bryan Raffa]

If you build it... Ill race it.. looks like you got my number on it allready!!!
cool idea love to see it happen!

[cragster]

I would just get a TriZ rolling frame and the warrior/raptor engine for it... I dont see why it would hbe that hard. WHat are you people talking about with me not affording 350x's? I have one and a 200x! :cool:

[350xBomb]

I think youve got something here...just make sure that its fast enough to make all the work required, worth the effort. Maybe a YZF426 motor or somethin.

[singlespiderman]

I say "go for it". check out my thread [ yamaha 350 check it out] where I turned a Warrior into a trike.Not knockin Honda, Ihave 2 myself. But the warrior has been around for a long time and for good reason. The motor is bullet proof and has more HP than the tri-z or 350X "FACT".Push the envelope and customize. It's easy to Rehab an old trike and be like the rest. But when you build your own, you've done something. Good Luck and keep us posted. Need help just ask.

Interesting. Where'd you find this "fact"?

[250r'en +TCB]

Interesting. Where'd you find this "fact"?
:lol: :lol: :lol: The salesman at the Yamaha dealer must have told him that!!!:rolleyes:

[singlespiderman]

The fact is that I've raced my custom 350 Warrior trike against 2 350x and beat them hands down. The 250R got me at the jump but I've got 6 gears and eventually took him too. I'm not saying that Honda sucks.If it were'nt for them we would'nt have trikes. But that is old techno. New techno can get more HP out of the same CCs."Fact" You can't argue that point. And Yamaha is the clear leader when it comes to that.
Like I said, Ilove the Honda trikes. But there's nothin wrong with
improving it with a Yamaha engine. Sorry if I've rubbed someone wrong but that's My Opinion, and we all know about opinions

[Dammit!]

You need to do some fact checking. Top speed and horsepower are not the same thing. A bone stock Z puts out somewhere around 32-36hp. Don't know what year 250R's you're talking about but the waterpumpers are 6 speeds as well and those put out 39hp. I don't know how much hp a warrior makes but I'm guessing it's around 20 (give or take).

Top speed is just about gearing. A simple change in sprocket/tire sizes will have a huge impact on top speed.

WTF?!?!?!?!

You would have to turn a warrior engine into a time bomb for it to be able to keep up with a stock waterpumper 250R, an even slightly modified 250R and you can forget about it........

Old technology??? the 250R engine in the modern CR250R has barly changed from the ATC engines...... Shorter stroke is the only "major" differnce, if you'd even call it that.....

All I can say is you better do some serious homework my friend, me and Dammit! arn't trying to be jerks about this, but your just WAY off man.......:wondering :rolleyes:

[leprogle]

I thought I might add how he said old technology vs. new........that's like someone say I bought a NEW banshee, they're all 87's, pretty well, same as the warrior. those raptor 350's are 1987 warrior engine technology with new plastic, and whatnot.
and stuff like that.

Excatly, I forgot to even mention that......:lol: ;) :beer

[singlespiderman]

I must conceed that it is about gearing and tire size. And I've never rode or raced a Z.Not a lot in Fla. I've only seen 1 and it was in bad shape. I was compairing to the 350X.
You may find it hard to fit the 350 warrior engine on your stock frame.It is very bulky. But can work with some frame mods.Have fun Bro.

[ATC-Eric]

Here we go, make a trike out of a raptor 660!

Probably be a horrible idea though as they are already top heavy.................

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Well, how about that drag warrior at TF06, that was something else. LMAO that was killing most everything.

But yeah I cant see the warrior trike beating a waterpumpeR, sorry.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Excatly, I forgot to even mention that......:lol: ;) :beer
You also forgot to add that a warrior quad weighs like 400lbs. So I'm sure the trike would be lighter, but still probably heavier than the 350x and 250r.

[ATC-Eric]

Have you ever riden a warrior?

I think a Warrior could beat an R, if you completely changed the gearing on one. Warriors arent geared for speed, their geared for trails. Theres no way a stock warrior will do ANYTHING to a stock waterpumper R, Reguardless of losing 75 lbs of weight in the front or not!

[jason 32]

loose the front end on the warrier add one tire and your done
hell you could prob use the 350x front end,add stiffer springs/oil

[firefirefire90]

Woah!! Mikey! Whats with the BABES!? Oh, I have ridden a warrior, THEY BLOW NO MATTER WHAT. And you not going to change my mind on it. But seriously, Mike...the babe doin the humpin looks mighty swell! WAY better than your old scrumpy McScrump! Dunno bout comparin to my cali plastic babes but u know...

[bigred1981]

yea what a load of S%$#... A good running 350X HONDA will smoke any stock warrior hands down.... come on... and gears mean nothing... My CR had 5.... my 350X has 6.... the CR was way faster... IT's gearing... not the amount of gears... A stock warrior motor is a 2-valve... 350X Honda... 4-vavle... WTF man... we've all heard these stories before. by the way... The Warrior motor is old techno also.. 1987 to be exact.

P&P head,edlebrockcarb,white bros exhaust,powerbomb header,K&N filter,10.25:1 wiseco piston,web cam, VP C-12 fuel mixed 50/50...15/39 gearing/19 " holeshots.
i might have forgot something...it would barely keep up with a pipe and jetted 400ex so i sold the warrior and bought "THE" 400ex.... lol but no a warrior will not outrun a stock water pumper "R"
