    Sold the R6 Warrior..

    I wish I had as much time to go riding as I did when I was a teen but life changes. I now have other toys to use. I need to ride often to stay on my game, my bike was really hard to ride and stay alive. I'd like to own a durable, reliable, 4x4 quad just to putt around on in the mud. Something...

    Sold the R6 Warrior..

    Yesterday was a sad day, I've had my Warrior for sale for a while. Yesterday a young guy (20) showed up with just the right amount of colourful cash. He sounded enthusiastic and was a bit of a gear head. He had plans to take it all apart and clean it up the way I should have. I told him about...

    so I found a deal I couldnt pass up yesterday, for 230 dollars I got this

    If you have a good grip and are ready for a wild ride build yourself a hybrid quad!! I built mine about a year and a half ago, mine is a first gen Warrior with a stock 2001 R6 engine. A GSXR 600 will be every bit as fast as mine I would think. You can read about my build here...

    What did you do to your quad today?

    Put a new chain guide on the swing arm and re-installed the chain. Its ready to ride again after breaking the master link, I found what was left of the link sitting in the suspension. One of the pins sheered off at the groove for the clip.

    raptor 660 chassis with an r1 motor help

    From a guy that owns and built a hot-rod hybrid. The Pros: -Cost, I dont care what you do you cant make an 85hp 660 for 2500 including the cost of the ATV. $1000 chassis (blown up 660), $800 CBR,GSXR,R6,R1 crashed bike. $700 in extras. BAM Raptor with 100hp!! -Reliability, If you can get a...

    raptor 660 chassis with an r1 motor help

    I did the R6 Warrior. I had an 09' R1 I was going to build into another hybrid quad but really do i need another 70hp? The 660 is a good place to start. I disagree with having to reenforce the frame, You'll have to make it as strong as the stock frame but thats about it. If its just a drag...

    First Gen Club

    I sold my set of studded ice tires with the wheels and told the guy to get on YFM350 if he wants to know anything about his (new to him) raptor 350.

    What did you do to your quad today?

    I packed all my gear and put my bike on the trailer and made the 20min drive to the only small lake I'm willing to still trust for one last ride on the ice. So I head out on the lake taking it easy while the engine is still warming up. I'm not going to get really good top end speeds today...

    Nope, the 4bt or the 3.3 or 3.9L Isuzu only make about 105hp and 265tq in stock form they can be turned up to 150-350tq. They are old school technology, hard to find and expensive. At 750lb plus a 200lb trans it will need to be a 1 ton truck to handle that weight of engine. I'm going to go...

    Luscombe's r6 warrior

    I will send whoever buys it here for sure! I am having a slight change of heart on selling it, I had so much fun last weekend racing around the lake. I spent an hour ridding with two guys on race ready well built Banshees, they were both studded so they had me off the line. Once we were up...

    What did you do to your quad today?

    I just happen to fly a heavy jet for a cargo airline and was going to be in the area any way. I brought the axle along to save Gus from having to pay more for shipping. It was only $20 for him, and he sent me that with PayPal.

    What did you do to your quad today?

    I flew most the way across Canada, 2000 nautical miles to deliver a stock YFM axle I'm giving to a fellow YFM350 board user 'Gus'. I only need to walk another mile from my hotel to ship it the last 50 miles to his place on Victoria island. I hope he pays me back for the lat bit of postage...

    What did you do to your quad today?

    I spent 4 hours ridding around lake Simcoe. I burnt $40 in gas riding around at the lake. I got it up to 86mph on GPS. I'm tired, my arms are killing me from holding on so tight. My god Yamaha builds amazing engines 6th gear at 12,000rpm mile after mile on snow that's as hard as ice almost no...
