is a cr500 too much for.......

**krash33** · 02-28-2011, 03:27 PM

I have 2 tri-z250s and i am looking to get rid of them and get a 250 r and put a cr500 in ti is that too much power or would i be ok if i extend and widen the rear?

Relax on the double posting.. The only person who can answer the above question is you. How good are you on a Tri-Z? Can you use all of the power in all situations? How long have you been riding 3 wheelers? What do you plan to do with an atc500r? There are some things that a Tri-z 250 can do faster, it all depends on what your plans are... Your user name is krash.. is that because you crash often or is it a joke?

If you think you are ready for an atc500r then only you can prove that to be wrong or right.. It's a monster that will move out in a hurry. Widening it with a wider axle and lengthening it with an extended axle will be good depending on what you want to use it for. When you try to tame one part of the way it handles, it will invariably affect another part of the handling.

i plan on doing one when Bill from TPC gets the frame all squared away....and when i find a CR500 motor.

i have been riding 3wheelers since i was 4 my first was a honda 110.. and i want somethng with ungodly power i believe i can deal with the power but main thing is to respect your machine

its been donr multiple times how much research have you done? theres a whole lot of work involved in this its not as simple as putting the engine in and riding it away.
look at these videos this is another members atc 500 it turned out good.

If ya gotta ask then it's too much power so in this case the answer is yes, the 500 is too much for you.

Holy crap when that 500r passed those quad I KNOW I saw a few spring an oil leak.

**portland250r** · 03-01-2011, 01:03 AM

he was barley even giving that thing gas

i seen some tiny wheelies at the beginning but nothing big, i think he was getting used to the trike before he went full action on it.

I think you may be right.. i was only half serious.. looks like a fun ride.. i want one..

**TatTooL23** · 03-01-2011, 10:48 AM

yeah....whats up with that? i was so anxious to see/hear that thing rip. and the whole video.....nothing. what a let down. i wonder if he hit 20mph anywhere??

**riverrat** · 03-01-2011, 12:31 PM

He wheelied a bunch of times. The wide angle helmet cam hides the severity of what he is doing. It also makes you look like you are going slower. Like in this video of mine, I was doing around 60mph and the handle bars were almost shaking out of my hands from the craters on the ice, but you can't really tell all that.

**Chazz of Blades** · 03-01-2011, 09:48 PM

Yeah, it's obvious he wheelied a good bit, he stood up with it though, so the camera angle wouldnt jump up too bad. Watch the front fender and you can tell.
