Nice YT hadar, it looks like it is in great shape. I flipped my brothers YT125 back like that too. You are right about the engine placement causing a lot of the difficulties keeping the front end down, still fun trike though. The real wheelie machines!
Even being a trike enthusiast after riding my bro's I will admit that those YT's are deathtraps hehe.

Cops around here don't even bother really, they know that their cruisers and Expeditions are no match for a bike in the woods, especially when the rider knows the back routes to get where he wants to go. The DNR/ORV Sherrif (yes, at least one county here has designated ORV officers, usually in Expeditions or Pickups, a few of them are also mounted on CRF250X's) just cruises the parking lots of the legal riding areas checking tags/spark arrestors and telling the 2 wheel riding/wheelie riding quad and bike pit stunters to pack it up and leave. Logging companies have their own chase teams that are A level riders mounted on various new models (mostly KTM 450EXC's, some utility quads) that work in packs and know the area better than anyone.Originally Posted by PitboyJohn

Nice lookin R and YT I love splashing about in water lol.
I would say tho that R sounds like its running really bad. Maybe its fouled a plug.

The R does sound like crap for one reason, It has a full airbox with no holes. She is badly choaked for air. If I pull the lid off she runs real hard but in the water I needed it. Plus the airbox did end up with some water in it some how, next year I'm going to use atc200 and keep the R out of the water alltogether. The yamaha reminds me of an outboard motor. It didn't get as much water in it but after riding like that it's good idea to clean and dry everything incluing air hosing the stator and pullrope. Pull covers and clean air filter or it will come back to bite ya in the ass. Lastly, If it anyone feels that I'm misrepresenting the sport, that's a BS thing to say. I'm offended and you should be ashamed. Have a problem with it? Good. Don't watch my vids and then tell me what I did wrong or I will stop posting them here. I have more to put on you tube but why bother if I'm just gona get preached at about pillaging and rapeing the land. (that is by the way private land and I have permission to ride on) This is not about helmets we all know they save lives. Everyone should use one but if they choose not to, it's still that persons choice. Enough about all this, sorry for the rant.
