[Havoxx]

That looks sick, what color are the plastics? Black as well? If so, that things gonna look evil :D.

[evand]

all black, everything but the head rims and swinger:cool:


thanks
Evan

[Nomad]

Looks nice. I personally like the blacked out look, its easier to manage here in New England. What did you use for fat bar clamps? Did you use adapters or did you replace them all together? What bend do the bars have and would you recommend it?

[GoodKarma]

Looks like it came out pretty darn good!:w00t:

[evand]

thanks for the kind words guys, the way things have been going with this thing i need them, but i talked to mosh and my new motor will be in the mail soon!!!!!!!


but for the bars i used the turner OV bar mounts they were 26 bucks from motosport.com just get the "universal rubber mount" and they work perfect. and for bars there pro-taper contoure (sp?) CR high bend and i love them about a inch taller then stock and much better bend:beer

[swamp]

[Dirtcrasher]

Looking good bud!

Yep, I sold that Blaster and kept a few things. I have plans for a motor and sold a pipe to a buddie so it all worked out for me.

[LFD250sx]

heyy man nice job looking good :TrikesOwn

[tri-Z ripper]

not to shabby gonna be abeast when shes done

[The Goat]

tri-z's always come out looking the best. damned good look all black. can't wait to see it done.

[evand]

thanks guys....


hey how is that lifan motor holdin up goat? im in the market for a atc70 and would like to do a lifan motor swap.....

[Mosh]

Glad to see it is all coming together.It is starting to take shape.
I never really liked the all black look til I built my Black Z.It has grown on me,and now I like the all black look machines.Hollar at me after you ride that thing and let me know how you like the powerplant!

[firecat]

thats looking good. how much for the motor work? . im doing an 85 and its taking forever to gather all the parts that were missing but it's almost done. needs a piston and bore job. I think i better have the rod checked because the piston that was with it was a brand new weisco looked brand new out of the box shiney. but it was grenaded. it broke the skirt right of the sleeve of the cyl. hope to have it done by april. here's a before pic was missing back rims and tires when i got it . and a pic as it sits now . also looking to find 1 stock gold back rim if any one's got one laying around:beer .i cant load the before pic but it was a mess.

[evand]

yeah i wasnt sure if i was going to like the all black look, but i think tis turning out ok lol. i cant wait to ride the thing and see how much better the phase 2 is :w00t: :beer


nice looking z you got there man, i would def. have the rod and crank checked, not worth blowing another top end.

but i bought the motor from mosh, cost me a pretty penny but its all rebuilt so it was worth it to me.

but ronnie (yamahondaman) here on the boards does porting and head work, he did the head on my other motor and it cam out awsome. I dont know if he is still doing motor work, since he sold his z, and i think i read on here he is getting out :beer of trikes?

[maggiesboy]

it is looking good Evan.

[The Goat]

lifan is holding up good. at the first oil change, i expected at least some metal flake in the oil, there was none and the screen was free as well. so the machining seems to be pretty good. and I certainly didn't baby it during break in.

I don't have the ride time on it that I would like as my tank was at a buddy's shop for ever waiting to be painted, and he never did it. then when i went and picked up the 350x from syko, i dropped it off with him.

whenever I get it back, I'll be putting some serious miles on it as I rebuild the 350.

I'm very interested in doing one of those Lifan swaps myself. I've got two extra 70 frames thanks to syko.

[evand]

well i got my +4 LSR axel last night, and went out and put her in, once i get the 18's on this baby she is gunna look mean! the 22's just kill it lol.

i bit the bullet and painted my rad. shrouds, i know everyone on here hates painted plastics, i dont care for them either, but i just cant afford 200+ for a set of decent black ones. I just went over them with a purple abrasive pad, then put on about 10 coats of the tha cheap plastic paint from krylon (sp?) i think the came out pretty good for being spraybombed

i also started to polish my bottom triple tree, have to finish it up tomorrow, just got most of the white crap off today.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h83/moparneck273/axcalliber.jpg

thanks to Mlong for the great deal on the axel and hubs:beer

[Bryan Raffa]

[evand]

thanks
Evan

[evand]

well not much of a update, i havnt done much other then paint my throtle cover and put in some SS bolts here and there. but i got my UFO number plate from oldschool today. Its not mounted just sitting there but it fits like it was make for a Z.

[Bryan Raffa]

got some pics's of yours around the foot peg? I cut mine down too narrow them .. I cut the center pipe shorter and the pipe that go's on the peg mount so they slide in further..it took about 10 times putting them on and then takeing them off... I drilled the bolt hole in the peg moutnt last

[evand]

of mine? not rite now. but the nets are about 10-12' from the shifter??

[oldskool83]

[chris200x]

Friggen SWEET!!! I love the all black!!!

[evand]

if your going to get asv's look at there ebay store, i got my lever for like 5 bucks and my clamp for 6:beer

im going to pollish the side covers and maybe the bottom of the forks when time will let me:beer

thanks again
Evan

[Mosh]

WOW! Vast improvement,over what you started with.Great work.


NOW, Ride that EFFR!!!!LOL

[Dirtcrasher]

looks pretty dam NASTY kid!!

Lots of money and time, and working out of that shed, you did just GREAT!!

Hey, where did all that dam snow go?? lol...........

[evand]

haha thanks guys.


lol dirt you seen the "shed" not much a work shop:lol: but it atleast she isnt outside:TrikesOwn

[Tri-ZNate]

that turned out really nice man, alot of time and effort. The number plate sets it all off as a bad ass :lol:

[honda250sx]

Congrats bro! Lookin' minty after the build. Came out pretty nice indeed. Lovin' the black'd out Z. Good job man

[maggiesboy]

looks great!

[Darius1502]

Awesome...more pics!!

[evand]

well got her out today! finally! and man what a dif. going from the tired worn out junker to what it is now, handles like its on rails, stearing is much better/lighter with the smaller tire. and man the new motor i got from mosh just flat out rips:w00t: smooth power from bottom to top. I think i might go a few teath bigger in the rear, in some tight trails i couldnt pick between 1st or 2nd. its got a 40 on it now so maybe go back to stock 44.

on the ride home it started acting up a bit, sputtering on the top end, pulled the plug and check it, perfect golden brown. put it back in and took it for a ride up the road, and it was sputtering worse? idles perfect revs fine in neutral, but when you hammer it, it breaks up bad?


but other then that im very happy with the outcome:beer


thanks guys
Evan

[Dirtcrasher]

Sounds like you may have fouled the plug, even if it looks good. Glad to hear ya finally got to ride it.

[tri-Z ripper]

awesome man im finally starting mine wanted to do it this winter but funds were tight!! but we should definetly go riding soon as mine is ready to go!

[evand]

for sure man, i live on the CT line so you can be to far away from me, any good riding down by you?

[tri-Z ripper]

evand i live next to a sand pit so i get my riding in there how about up by you know any trails up there i have my 200X still that i use as my rider when the z is being massaged i also have a dirtbike that will be ready by next weekend!

[Red Rider]

Love the way it turned out! The shot where you first rolled it out of the shed is the best. Enjoy riding it now.

[Darius1502]

sputtering on the top end, pulled the plug and check it, perfect golden brown. put it back in and took it for a ride up the road, and it was sputtering worse? idles perfect revs fine in neutral, but when you hammer it, it breaks up bad?

I have an '86 Z and this sounds familiar. I could be your fuel pump is not bringing gas to the carb fast enough when you really peg the throttle.

[evand]

thanks alot guys, but today was not a good day for the Z had some major motor malfunctions (sp? lol) having some tranny problems and the sprock head basicly fell off. just my luck :cry:

[Bryan Raffa]

thanks alot guys, but today was not a good day for the Z had some major motor malfunctions (sp? lol) having some tranny problems and the sprock head basicly fell off. just my luck :cry:

Fell OFF? HuH ...What?....:crazy:

[evand]

haha didnt "fall off" but all but one bolt was loose and it shot a stream of coolent out of the head studs.

[tri-Z ripper]

man did you rush yourself just to go ride it??:confused: :eek: i would go over the bike twice next time before riding use a torque wrench on all the bolts hell check twice and ride forever! sorry to here of the unfortunate luck!! this is why i am having second thoughts on making the z my first complete motor rebuild!!:crazy:

[Mosh]

thanks alot guys, but today was not a good day for the Z had some major motor malfunctions (sp? lol) having some tranny problems and the sprock head basicly fell off. just my luck :cry:

Well in that Pm to me,you told me it blew a rad hose then the Coolhead started leaking.
I am guessing that it over heated when the rad hose blew off,and overheated the motor and fried the o-Rings.

In any sense,I pm'd you back and will take care of it all for you.:beer

[evand]

just got you PM mosh, like i said in there the rad hose blew, and i shut the bike off as soon as it poped.so i know it didnt over heat.

i bought the motor built from mosh, I am in NO WAY blaming this on him. i know he knows what he's doing and trust his work 100%!!!!in fact he didnt buld this motor just put the head on it. so the tranny issue wasnt his work. i dont blame this on him myself or anyone else, things happen i understand that. before the miss-haps today the motor felt TIGHT!! I know that me and mosh can work something out and get her going again in no time.

again i dont want mosh or anyone else to think im bad mouthing him!!! He gave me a good deal on this motor, a good deal on my seat, good deal on my swing arm parts, and lots of helpfull info. and this bike wouldnt be as nice as it is if i didnt have help from rob and tammy! there great people runing a great businnes and i will continue to buy my parts from them. Again im not blaming anything on mosh and i want that be clear.........


thanks again to rob and tammy and everyone who helped with this build, and im sure it will be straitend out in no time:w00t: :beer

thanks
Evan

[TRITecate350]

If all the head bolts were loose but one, you probably just blew the oring out of its groove or damaged it. I would pull the head off and install new orings.

[ATC-Eric]

What tranny problems are you having?

Also, if I were you, I would buy an inline temp gauge for the Z. Its always good to know what your bike temp is.

[evand]

im guessing what sprock said is dead on, going to talk to mosh tonight and see what his input is. Any idea why it keeps pushing coolent out of the over flow? compresion blowing by the o-ring and pressurizing the system?

the tranny problem is kinda odd. the tranny feals rock solid all the gears are solid as can be but if i put the bike in nuetral it will slam its self into gear. did it to me 4 or 5 times?


how do those inline temp gauges work? i saw them on ebay, just wondering how acurate they are.

[DeePa]

get the one from esr, much nicer...

welcome to the WORLD OF F'ING YAMAHAS

[Mosh]

I want everyone to know,that I will take care of Evand any way I can...

This motor ran fine for me.When he recieved the container,it had a hole punched in the side and blew the stator cover all to hell.UPS!!!!!!!!
I am in the process of filing a damge claim,and I did insure the engine for shipping.

I dont know where these problems came from.I would guess the hit it took in shipping,may be suspect.

I never built this engine.It was bought from another guy,and was rebuilt at a Yamaha dealer.
The only thing I did was pull the sidecover,and verified waterpump integrity,and installed the coolhead.

I have no idea why the headbolts worked loose.I torqued them like the rest of them,and I have had no problems.

We will get you squared away Evand!!Dont worry!
