Hello all!!
I am new to 3ww, I stuck around everything2stroke.com for a while, figured I'd start over here too. I am a trike lover, I have 6 atvs, 5 are trikes. I still got my parents old atcs that are basically mine, so thats more like 10. i started riding at the age of 2 on a lt50 trike, got some funny pictures actually. Now I have a banshee I've dumped allot of money into, but I like the trikes more.
Well last year I bought a very sweet 350x. I got it and a complete parts bike. The complete parts bike turned out to be a very complete trike. All I have to do is replace and lap the valves, and put it together. The head is off, It has been freshly rebuilt, new high compression piston so far. What else can I do to this motor to increase power while I got it out and apart? I know web cam makes some nice cams, my other 350x has one in it. I didn't do it though..... So any advice would be nice.
When I still went to high school, a friend of mine said his dad had a busted 250r, long story short it turned out to be a 1986 tri-z with a bent shift fork. I have been working on it for a while now. I bought a 86 tranny off ebay, and the seller was a tard cause it turned out to be an 85..... Sux it has the 5-speed now. I now am stuck with the rear end. The dude mud-bogged with it, then let it set. The rear carrier bearings are shot bad. So i took off the axle and carrier and took it to the machine shop I worked at. I put it on the press, put heat to it, and I maxed the press out at 3tons. It crushed the 3/4 inch chunk of brass I had over the end of the axle and mushroomed the bold and nut. It did not budge!! So now I have a scrap axle and can't get the carrier off. Ive tried all I could. Its been soaking in penetrating fluid for like the last month, still won't budge. So I don't know wtf to do. Im thinking of welding a banshee swing arm onto the tri-z's, and running a banshee carrier set-up. Any one have advice?, I'm at my wits end with my tri-z, but I love it, I rode it for a while with the messed up carrier, and I defiantly want a nice tri-z in my garage. Wheelies where insane on that bike, its like the chopper of the atc world.
Thanks for any advice, and I think I'm gonna really enjoy 3ww. Trikefest is in my plans. Its kinda close, and sounds fun as hell!!
