so i was out at my local riding area today with my friends i raced my frineds 2006yfz450 he has sparks x-6 exhaust and k&n intake i have cherrybomb we ran and to my suprise he beat me. my front tires were at his footpeg though very close race he also has brand new tires and mine are almost slicks i was spinning until third gear. raced my cousins banshee no airbox k&ns paul turner pipes port/polish we raced about 5 times every time i was even with his back tire. proved to me the ltr is fast almost completely stock taking on piped and modded bikes with tires that aren't hooking up very well cant wait to get new tires and exhaust and race again i will have my cousins 2000 banshee for 18months until he gets back from iraq he goes banch in 12 days.

Put a pipe on it and you will put the hurt on both of em B) . Yammi 450's are fast though, good motors.

Good "engines" Motors are electric
The Yami has the strongest engine of all 3 bikes... it takes fewer mods to make fast, but once you build it over 60 HP it doesn't hold together.
I haven't got a reliable report to what the factory Suzuki LTRs are running HP wise, but I know the Honda's are about 69 HP. I imagine the zooks are in the lower-mid 60s.

Throw in a trinity 493cc bore kit and show them what a Suzuki can do, also buy a pipe and say the pipe was the only mod u did since u last raced them.

What do you mean by "factory" Suzuki's and Honda's? Those hp numbers you listed are quite high. Doug Guss's modified LT-R450 (intake, pipe, cherry bomb, ported head, intake cam) has 56 hp. A factory stock LT-R50 has about 43 hp.

56?..woot woot...thats what I want right there

 

[fatv]

Hmmmmm 56 you say? ........

Just a little bit of advice if you're doing mainly drag racing. Lower your tire pressure in the rear tires. Also you want your front tires as hard as a rock (less rolling resistance) so put more air in the front tires. With low air pressure in the front tires it takes more power to push the quad. With higher pressure it takes less.

 

[SandJunkie]

He's right once again...don't you just love this guy?
Thats why drag racers use round tires instead of squared off ones in the front. They air them up so less of the surface area of the tire touches the ground...thus less resistance...Air 'em up boys

I read an article in an ATV magazine for June (forget which one) and it had a write-up on it, and that's what it said. I am only passing on what I read in the magazine, that's all I know.

 

[SandJunkie]

Talon...no worries...he's busting my chops because I asked Dan @ DASA what he thought he would get out of Fuel's bike. Dan's reply was "54 or 55" and Fuel wants to hear 56...so now we are eagerly awaiting the final numbers...soooo...
Look for yet another running gag...see how easy it is to hijaak a thread???

Ah, I see. Well, if this helps, the article said what Gust had done - Open air box, CB, Yoshimira pipe, slightly ported head and intake cam. Now we can all be like Doug Gust!

Oh, and to not hijack the thread - a quad with 56 horsepower will be faster in a drag race than a quad with 46 horsepower, all other things being equal.

i don't race mx on a real race circuit but i race on a track me and my buddies built. i would like to start racing mx but for now i only ride sand dunes trails and do the ocassional drag race. i am very happy with my new tires they hook up really well they also add a little top speed i need an exhaust now to pull them like a bat out of hell like it did with the 18s i am only planning on doing exhaust,porting,cams,intake, and fuel programmer i may get high comp piston and possibly 493 kit.


(can't wait till dune season i am trying to convince my dad we need to go to glamis 4th of july weekend)
