yamahondaman made a few sets of rear shock/linkage stainless bolts and washers. these fit great and look way better than the oem green and gray hardware. look at all them yamahondaman bolts and hardware in the tray!:w00t:

no snipping, if you do that , when the spring runs out of tension, then it will freely slide up the tube, then, BANG!
look at how much the 1986 tube is shorter compared to the unmoded one
the wheel i now use is 5.5 lbs. lighter than the LIGHTEST tire you CAN GET FOR A TRI-Z. bye, bye old HEAVY 22 inch sand star
out with the old , in with the new

It wouldn't suprise me to see...er....HEAR a lil more cc in some of the Rags next TF. I know my T4 got a new displacement configuration. It may actually be fast this time....got me a YZ connecting rod in there. Just adding Yamaha Parts is good for a few ticks! Heck, why not mix and match, afterall, its got a Jet Ski PISTON!

I'm sure your new build will be as nice as anything else you roll out, no doubt. Keep at it and post more pics.


BTW, Ronnie...seeing how ya got about $600 in yer lil 2fiddy, how bout I give ya a nice cool $1200 and you can double your $$$$$$! :D

oh boy........ you sure seem to be wasteing time with that powervalve. I think there are some old conversion threads on here that basically say that there is no real difference in power. I ran a powervalve set up on my Z for a few races. I tried all kinds of pipes, even a 86 YZ pipe. I was even running a YZ CDI unit and everything. I was able to get a little more out of it with the drag pipe, but not enough to convince me to keep it on there. There is very little difference in that lightly modded Z and a powervalve engine.

p.s.

If someone else thinks its a good idea i will sell them my powervalve set up. It's an 86 ported top end. it probably has a few hours on the new bore. I also have two 85 yz top ends which have the biggest power valve. I'll make someone a good deal on it.

king nothing your name says it all ..you know "nothing" about my yz engines i can see:lol:
1st.. i dont have a "conversion", i wouldnt want to do all that b.s. swaping. i put the whole complete engine in the z, plain and simple
2nd.. them year yz engine you listed only have a few more ponies than a stock 32hp z i use an 1983, BIGGEST intake , largest exhaust port, and 9 ports, unlike the years you listed. i have installed them years and you are right on one thing,:rolleyes: those years do no make a big enough power increase to make it a worth while swap.
3rd.. i did this four years ago, for woods riding only, once i figured out that when the powervalve in the 1983 engine opens TWICE the size of the z cylinder, i found it was way better suited for drag than the tri-z engine i once had in it
4th.. i dont use a Heavy, outdated YZ electrial system either, the ys flywheel IS lighter than the z one but not like the pvl/motoplat i have. you should buy one, you will never go back you see how great they are. try a five ounce flywheel:rolleyes:
5th.. swingarm lenth. the man that bulit and designed it (yamahondaman):w00t: spent the last twenty years researching the correct lenth and found the plus 12 to be the best for the tri-z in the drags, any other lenth spins or wheelies. all them welded up heavy swingers do work , but weight matters, and i dont want a 22-25 lb swinger on my tri-z, thats why for years i ran a stock swingers.

I just thought I would through this back in the loop. I believe it was a tecate that kicked all your as*es (not including the street bike). And you can ask everyone that was there, the chic on the 370 was the best in show for the weekend. And I do belive her husband was pretty fast himself. I guess I would stop yapping at the jaw with other yammi guys and think how can i beat the kawi.


ps. dont be to suprised to see more drag trikes there, there are members on this site that wanna suprise people.

if they are grug drags like last year its pretty much run whats next to you. I know the sea doo 800cc with turbo will go down the track nice next year... oooopppps did i say that outloud

If so...I have no doubts Nathan's Z will put a *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* whooping on you. I have raced his TRAIL BIKE...The Black and Red Z with the YZ in it....and from watching your run, your Drag Bike got nothin on it. Nothing. Yours makes some noise, but your times and speeds? Looked aweful slow to me. Now, before ya get all pissy and such, YOU are the one who started the negative posting and I am just giving some background on YOUR creds. Do me a favor and post up a pic of your timeslips from that night. I can compare them with what my buddy ran on his YFZ and to what my Tecate4 ran there. I know how my T4 ran compared to Nathan's Z...just a bit slower (Good thing I had the ATCR Conversion to win a few ;) ) and I would be willing to bet ALOT that my T4 would put a beating on your Z. :twisted:

Alls I know is 2 things.

For the past 3 years I have been at the top, or in this years case, at least near the top, with a bone freaking stock cylinder on an engine that has nothing but bolt ons-and relatively mild ones at that.

Viper, I wish I would have got to race you but that base gasket sucked in on me and I didn't want to chance leaning it out. I don't know whether the 500 will be at TF next year or not, but if it is I'm lookin forward to running with you and anyone else. :beer:

viper
10-04-2007, 12:57 AM
ya thats a good running bike and i was wanting to run you also but you made a wise choice by putting it up . prob would have trashed it when it went wide open .

all bull aside there really was several very good running bikes there this year and i look forward to next year . was going to put some stroke and some other things to my bigbore bike but i am going to leave it alone for next year and concentrate and getting every last little bit out of the lil motor . i really think it will do very well again next year .

Ill have to get you some slips and you can compare them to whatever you want. dont qoute me on that but i beleive it was 68mph??? not sure. probably not as fast at the T4 woud go if it was running, but respectable.

Is that the same T4 you had tore up a month ago? I havent seen your T4 up there all year come to think of it.

Those are some pretty brash words tho.

So let me get this straight here you raced a guy and he barely beat you and you saw me race one night and your pretty sure you were faster than me. So there for the guy you originally raced who baley beat you is faster.

well that makes perfect sense.

i will take credit for the negative posting. thought it would be fun to kick up some stuff. but i dont intend on going to Trikefest so I will lay off.

It wouldn't suprise me to see...er....HEAR a lil more cc in some of the Rags next TF. I know my T4 got a new displacement configuration. It may actually be fast this time....got me a YZ connecting rod in there. Just adding Yamaha Parts is good for a few ticks! Heck, why not mix and match, afterall, its got a Jet Ski PISTON!

I'm sure your new build will be as nice as anything else you roll out, no doubt. Keep at it and post more pics.

the basket and needle bearing goes right on, i have to find the pressure plate that will line up with that inner hub.i can use the inner hub, but have to delete the two stock tri-z washers. the hunt is on!:DMrs.Mosh told me about this clutch basket deal today,and I was at first really excited.
So I grabbed up a lt 500 complete clucth basket,inner hub assm. and pressure plate,jerked a tri-z bottom end off the shelf to research this.
Here are my findings and questions for you.
1)The rear gears are near identical.That is cool.But,when you speak of the needle bearing assm,That is 1/16 larger than the Z input shaft.Now provided,you find some one to machine the lt500 inner sleeve, that hurdle can be overcome.In the pics you will see the needle bearing is way too large for the Z input shaft,and that also the inner needle bearing sleeve for the lt 500 is too SMALL to fit over the shaft.Hence where the machining would come into play.
2) The inner hub for the lt500 has a 6 spline count,as the tri-z inner hub would have a 13 tooth count.Now I dont have Z inner hub to see if that would fit in the lt 500 basket.I do,but I aint strippin a motor just to find out..
3)The Tri-z clutch steel plates have a totally different tooth pattern than the Lt500.
I am pretty sure the Z inner hub IS too shallow to hold all 8 clutch plates that the lt500 requires.So, mixing and matching the parts between the 2 machines,is almost out of the question.Unless you machine 1/8 of an inch off the lt basket fingers to shorten it up some.

4)One last problem I for-see,Is The lt 500 basket is really wide near the gear,vs. the Tri-z basket.
Now any one who has seen the Z motor assembled,can tell that with a stock Z basket,There is only about 1/8 inch of clearence to the kicker gears.I am afraid that even if you do all this sleeve and needle bearing maching,That the lt 500 basket will hit on the Tri-z kicker gear assm.
Like I said I was very interested in this swap,and I am not saying it cant happen,But for that time and money,I will stick with the new aftermarket baskets that will be coming out shortly.
The first pic shows the Z basket on the left and Lt basket on the right.The rest are just research pics that I took.
Please if you have found answers to my questions,please share them with me.thanks

Bryan Raffa
10-07-2007, 08:07 AM
what about swaping ring gears would that be possible? would the Lt allow for 6 rivits rather than 3?

Mosh
10-07-2007, 09:23 AM
The teeth count and size of the gears are about where the Similarities stop.Even the center inner hubs of the gears are 2 different sizes.So you cant even take the bronze bushing out of a Z gear and use it in The lt500 gear.
In all honesty,It would take a lot less time and effort modifying a shee Clucth to fit.

Yea but the big hitters are the banshees and some wicked *edited* conversion street bikes usually.. Now back when glamis was good ( I'm talking the days of the Sandsation video days, early 90's) THEY had wicked trikes and quads.. Now all I see are drag framed banshees and four strokes.. Not that impressive if you ask me. :rolleyes:

I'd love to go to glamis; one day, one day haha

LOL there is only one quad/street bike conversion that showed last year lol during all the holidays... yah banshee's are prominent (i have two for that reason) but theres still ALOT of fast single cylinders out there at the hill.... and 4 strokes... still havent gained a ounce in a grudge match at the hills

i also want to add this... isnt funny the guy who started the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* talking about PV's not working great at all... has in his signature this...
__________________

'85 Tri Z ASTRO needs some work, Full answer exhaust im thinking of putting on a powervavled engine.

...
and i want this to be known to viper and all the other guys running there mouths about Yamahondaman and 03.....

03 has built sick bikes in the past for drags... i doubt he wont know how to dial this sucker in...look at all the crap the guy has done tinkering and the bike isnt even FINISHED yet, he is a THREAT TO ALL..

For Yamahondaman, he is the only other guy I know that has done as much research into single cylinder 250's as i have. THe guy knows more then most of us can comprehend and if you have ever seen his Z run, you know your in trouble... THESE TWO guys know what they are doing, and how there going to do it.....

wasnt 03 the first one to start playin with PV on this site????

the top hitters on this site for the z's in my opinion are
Yamahondaman,
Mywifeknowseverything
03 orange shee

FOR Yamahondaman and 03.... GIVE THEM HELL lol

chain slap,,, yep our gonna have it , with a shock its gonna be worse than my set up ...only one weekend since installed run on it.. good thing i didnt polish it yet..not shure if any thing will fit in-between mine it so close.. maybe ILL smear axle grease all down the side of it for less drag..:eek: OMG my chain is dirty ,,I gotta go clean that:lol:

03 ORANGE SHEE
10-20-2007, 05:03 PM
GOOD GOD!:rolleyes: mine is nowhere as close at that, maybe 1/2 inch away. thanks for the pics. i am going to figure out somekind of rub block for it BEFORE i even run it
just take the countershaft seal out, then as the chain rotates, it will throw oil all over it, and lube the left side of the swingarm.just wipe it from time to time to get the dust off it.:eek:

Hey Raffa ,..... my Carb. is ONLY a 39mm .. but it RUN's like a 80MM ! :naughty:
abit MUCH for my Stock Motor but i guess it's OK ?:rolleyes:

SpeedBump
10-21-2007, 02:55 PM
Nathan...I don't think that is a 250R throttle. I am almost sure it is the "X" version...250X, 350X, 300EX, 400EX...blah blah blah. Sell that one on Ebay...should be able to get a good bit for it all polished up like that.

Anyway, I used one on my Keihin and had to so some internal grinding to get it to pull open my PWK39 (40.1 actual bore) and it never did get 100% draw from it. I was about to break thru the side from the griding and figured about 98% pull was nuff. I KNOW you guys can't handle that...2% to you fellas is UNACCEPTABLE. Like the Guru above said...go for the actual R thumb...they gots a bit more pull distance.
