    Anyone into Quads here??

    I've always been a Dirt bike/Street bike guy, but my 1st bike when I was 3 was a Suzuki 50 Quad and at the same time my dad and uncle bought the Brand new LT250R QuadRacers so I've always had a senimental thing for the LT250Rs and Quadzilla since That's what my uncle and dad raced when I was a Kid. So I'm always on the look for a cheap one, well it found me yesterday. It was kinda funny, yesterday at the 4X4 swaptmeet me and my dad were at different places at the thing and he called me and said"Hurry up over to the Building and Bring money, there's a Quadracer over here that's totally you"



    Good news is the frame and all the components are sweet

    Bad News Is I need to build a motor but that's easy. the motor came in 2 boxes though [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

    I'm going on the Cheap on this as far as suspension and things go, just keeping it stock.

    The Frame will be suzuki Blue, the Motor will be Black the Gold, I'm getting Black Plastic for it. and the Tank stickers will be charvel stickers. Also gonna do the new wheels in stock Gold too. So I think Black/Blue and Gold will rock

    I have till The week nefore memorial day to finish it too so I can have it ready for the weekend [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

          I used to be into quads and bikes and all that stuff, riding since I was a kid. Then about 6 years ago a bad streak hit our group of friends. one wrecked his Yamaha YZ, coma for a few months, now in a wheelchair. will not walk again, but the brain damage is the worst, will never be the same person.. he used to be a rowdy ass loud mouth hick, now he can barely speak without full concentration, and the personality just isnt there anyore.

          One of my best friends and my wifes cousin(he was my roommate and thats how I met her), wrecked on a quad on 4th of July 2000. Had to be airlifter to the hospital, he died on the way.

          Myself, just a few months before my friend died. I was down a Glamis came over a hill, a truck came over at the same time, we hit mid air. Bike got demolished. I was in full protective gear(thank god, big chunk missing out of the side of my helmet). right leg crushed, looked like I got beat to shit by a gang with bats. I was in the hospital for 3 days, had to have my tibia bolted all together. The guys at the Brawley Hospital told me that all the surgeons from the Naval Base in San Diego go there on the weekends to get experience for massive trauma. Seems people, especiall kids get crushed/smashed all the time there.

          To me quads and bikes are just bad news now. I used to love that stuff, but not anymore.

            It is all about not riding over your head and being sure to wear all your protective gear. Doing those two things will reduce your chances of getting seriously hurt a great deal. Personally, I don't like riding at ORV parks... there are too many yahoos acting like idiots. I prefer to do my riding on tracks where everyone is going the same direction, or on open private land.

            Riding is inherently dangerous, but you just have to use common sense and be alert as possible.

            That is a cool Quad! I see Quadracers and TRX's for sale all the time, but they are becoming more rare and the prices are skyrocketing as a result. Usually, they want more for them now then they did new! It's not uncommon to see a seller asking $3000 plus, and they sold new in 1986 for about $2400.

            I've ridden Quadracers a few times, but it was many years ago. I remember the engine having a strong but silky power delivery, with tons of low end. They sign off early though. The suspension on those things is great! Very confidence inspiring (compared to the ATC250R I had at the time). Cool stuff! Make sure to post a pic when it is restored.

                Heres a pic. Sorry for the crappy quality, the lighting really sucks in the garage, i'll take some better ones in the daylight tomarrow


                Its a 2001 Yamaha Raptor 660
                I do not no exactly all of it's mods, but i know that it has atleast 3 grand worth.

                Some of the aftermarket stuff is a Yoshimura TRS system with muffler, some after market pistons (not sure which)
                And i know that they made it wider, and lower.

                There is some other stuff that he mentioned and i can't remember right now.

                We got it for 4000, which is pretty good. It also has about 25 hours of riding on it.

                        Donny, did you frequent the exriders.com forum? I been thinking Drsracing was familiar...thats where my nick quadperson came from. Used to really be into em. Need to get another one. The new Honda 450R looks tasty.
                        I still keep practicing though.... Mostly because I hate my neighbors.-MakeAJazzNoiseHere

                          I thought you were talking about squatting and other leg training exercises. I had something to add there.

                            I have a 2005 Polaris Predator 500 and a 2005 Polaris 700 Twin EFI. The Predator scares the crap out of me so it's for my crazy buddies to use. I only hop on the thing when conditions are dry and I am going in a straight line. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                            The 700 is my all purpose machine. I have a seat on the rear so I can take the kids through the woods or down to a lake. It has a ton of power but is so comfortable to ride that we go for all day trips on it...the suspension is unreal.

                            FWIW, I bought the 700 and my wife won the Predator in a raffle just two weeks later. I never would have purchased that thing. My wife is starting to make sense and I think we may sell it. lol
