    New Lt_R 450 in the back of my truck!!

    well I went and got it tonite.Still in the back of my truck.I ended up dropping the deal with the local dealer I use and ran to hr away shop in Mansfield.GUys are awesome and they pulled no punches.I even saved about 3oo$ on the machine.No one would drop on price from 7299.So I asked him and told him the problems I was having with the shop I was dealing with and he told me he would sell me one for 7000 .He wasnt kidding. So now I own one.I ended up getting a yellow one and Im glad I did.Its very sharp looking.Book doesnt do it justice.The white may end up being nicer looking but I had some reasons for the yellow since I have a white Z400. I will get some pics of it tomorrow before I get it dirty and let you see it if I can figure out how to post pics. ALl I can say is WOOT!! Im ready to ride again. I had a pic on,i added some more in comparison to my Z400 thats set up with all Elka and Janssen racing parts. You can see how close the specs are between the 2. The Z has plus 3 aarms and 19" Elkas.It also has a +1 1/4" swingarm. The Z still dwarfs the LTR in overall size.I'll post more pics later.

    I was reading something on atvconnection that the stock exhaust is really restricting. They pulled out the spark arrester and it was like a whole new bike.

    Well im up ,, gonna hit some coffe for a few .Get my blood flowing,,then get the 450 out and take her for a spin. I havent seen hp numbers yet,BUTT,,I have already purchased what they c all a CHERRY BOMB for the LT. Its a little plug in device made by yoshimura so it doesnt void my warranty either. Take the baffle out of the exhaust and plug in the cherry bomb and its a claimed 7 hp. If so,cheapest 40$ 7 hp increase you can get. Well I just got back in from a short ride around the house and down the road.Umm,very snappy and responsive. Its un real how the throttle is,its like you dont have to push on it t all to feel the power. It pulls with great torque all through the powerband. Its cooling down at the moment for its next run. I will keep ya posted.

    Hmm Cherry Bomb is probably just re-Maps the EFI for the pipe..i know alot of raptor 700 guys Where Havin Problems becuse they pulled the baffles and filtre, leaned em Waaay out and didnt take them back in to get the EFI re-tuned.

    Yeah similar issues are happening with the cherry bomb as well.NOt real bad but some. Since its cold out it doesnt help. I recommended to some of the others that pulling the baffel and adding the cherry bomb was great but since theres leaning out issues leave the air box lid on for now till it warms up.Less air with lid on means more fuel.Gonna test my theory and see what happins.
