Getting down to the last little things. Now just new fluids and a start up and tune. Then tear the yard up again! Need to change the seat cover to the new blue one so things match better.

New parts added just waiting on a new seat cover and shock lowering kit for front shocks. We added some very cool looking aluminum parts to our front end. Someone cut off the head lights mount so we improvised the lights like a banshee shot of. The carb was a bit of a weird thing to deal with. Had to rebuild the actual stock carb but the jetting was hard for us to figure out, in the end I used a stock 1994 kx250 main jet if you can believe that but it worked perfectly and all but the shocks are complete. Hoping we get the new seat done in about a week and a half or so.

12 year old built this whole quad from the ground floor up. Built engine custom exhaust system custom graphics and bling everywhere. Looks brand new run like a absolute monster now and it's quick af its a neck breaker. Waiting for shock tool to change the front shocks out other than that its done.

They were only used to play around in the yard and help put some time on the new engine. I have been rebuilding everything and the front shocks are a bitch to rebuild. The shock shaft tool and spring compressor broke so we had to order a new one. Been using them for along time. We ordered new springs and seal heads for them so it can be pretty much a stock shock. Those 99.99 shocks from vitos are junk they look like replacements but break to easy. We found a way to rebuild old ones like new again. It's never failed us just kind of a bitch to get the new parts to seal they have to be re machined to exact tolerance then no problems. My kid is 12 has done the entire engine himself, he also hand made a entire new electrical harness for it every wire replaced and soldiered its perfect plus he put a USB port on it for whatever. He has done everything on his quad but for putting the engine into the frame. I helped him with the engine and so far he's done a fabulously fantastic job to say the least. And all those aluminum parts are his ideas to make the front end look alot more sleek. He'll he made one for my 660 raptor while he was making his own actually looks great on mine as well. We restore old quads and dirt bikes that's what we do. Also all the kids in the neighborhood have their bikes fixed for free by us, they watch and learn how to do things so they can teach others the same. We tell them buy the parts we will help you replace them for free. Kind of hard to ask kids for ridiculous prices to fix there bikes for them so we do that for free if they help and learn how to themselves.
 
Well down where we live there isn't really much fun suff for them so my kid wanted something really cool so we got him a 2008 ktm 65sx and built it to the hilt. It looks absolutely killer it was his first remodel of anything powersports related. Then we did a restore on my old 1986 yz80 everything was redone but we need a new tank it's the only thing left to do he help me do it to. Pretty good job for starting when he was 4 did the ktm at age 9 and the quad at 12years old we have him rebuilding all kinds of stuff. He's awesome at making new wiring harnesses for anything and they are better than the stock ones by a huge difference. He's gotten 2 buddies doing stuff now to. I told one to buy a really bad shape quad and he did and we had it going in 20 minutes now he's rebuilding it a 87 suzuki ltz250r.

We have been thinking about that to. He's wanting to try the harescrambles on his ktm 65sx and try on with his warrior in the modified classes. Hes actually really unbelievable on that little ktm most people would love to be able to do a quarter of what he can do and they would be happy as pie if they could do that. Cause I've road for over 47 years and he gets me kinda mad cause he's that good he rides with us alot and we ride big bikes and he keeps up with us no problem most of the time on the tracks he's always ahead of us all. He's good and 2 of his buddies are now riding and trying the same thing their really good to. We're hoping to get them all 3 into a race together.
 
That’s why I try to make sure my sons are atleast watching me when I’m working on their machine or mine or anything really and let them help their brains are sponges just soaking up knowledge and as far as the racing goes if he’s already that good now ha hes going to blow your expectations out of the water that’s awesome love it gotta keep this sport alive
 
We have a track in our yard it's just a little 1acre track a couple of medium jumps and a couple hard turns. He looks like a video game when he's out riding cause he goes way faster than I would ever even think about. You get them near ya whenever you do maintaince or rebuilding so they can get a little bit better understanding of what goes on it their engines. My son's best friend just helped me with a project engine now he wants to tear his down and rebuild his entire engine. He sees how our warrior did look and run and now sees a brand new quad with a hell of a lot of more power and torque. He wants his quad like that.
 
Hell yeah this is my sons new warrior we traded a 2002 400 scrambler for it personally I liked the scrambler but what a pain I the ass to take care of polaris made everything stupid back then I don’t know about now but wow they really over thought pretty much all of the wheeler to try and compete with the Japanese made bikes and they’re just brittle machines but this warrior is clean it has everything that came on it is still on it lol usually don’t see that and it has new cylinder and high compression wiseco piston kit in it and I just jetted the carb correctly oh man this thing pulls wheelies easily and def has some balls IMG_5214.jpegIMG_5217.jpegIMG_5245.jpeg
