Dont ever wash it. It will just get dirty again.

If you are gonna race the seminole Q.S. race, skinny it up some...

if you want to know how to hook up the killswitch i can let you know an easy way that I did it to mine, with no cutting or splicing of factory harness.

I know you can get a Pro Armor kill switch with a little harness for the LTR which makes install a breeze.
Willis, I think i'll keep this one wide. 2 hour races in 90 degree weather just don't appeal to me anymore.

Oh! and if your gonna be runnin with the plastic heelguards on then be sure to check the bolts that hold them on. On mine and my uncles Ltr they came off. Mine came off the first dat that i rode it at bartow.

Wow Mike you really change your mind a lot, just a week ago you were looking for a quad set-up for the woods and hare scramble racing, unless I read it wrong...

Willis,
You're right I do. But the body's getting tired and I just don't want to admit it. I love the woods racing, but I've got to come back to reality every now and then and realize I'm not a kid anymore. Hangin out at the MX track and doing a few laps here and there I'm fine. 2 hour HS's just kill me. I always end up sick a week later. The heat is brutal. I did a nice 1 1/2 hour practice at Seminole a few weeks ago on my bike. I knew I was pushing it, I knew I was hurting myself. I ended up with the flu. 4 days of 103.5 fevers and still had to go to work. I can't push myself like that anymore, I know I sound like a wimp, but oh well, nothin I can do. I try to train for it, I can run for an hour, lift for an hour, whatever else, but it's not the same. I'll see you at the track.....yes you can take it for a spin.

If you decide to take off the stock headlight and put a racing hood on it, make sure you reconnect the horn which runs through the headlight.

If you leave the horn disconnected, you will drain the battery.

I dont think you want to let me take it for a spin, 3 1/2 weeks ago I came up short on a double jump there and put 30 stitches in my face, I know its a sweet moto-x quad so have fun with it.....

That's frickin awesome! You got pics? Did it shatter the helmet?

PLEDGER#76 · October 26, 2006, 01:58:20 AM

Nothing awesome about it from my perspective, no it did not shatter the helmet, the bars hit the hole where the goggles are and the damage was done from there 24 stitches around the right eye with a cracked orbital bone and 6 stitches on the left eye..... the only awesome thing was I was not knocked out and drove myself to the hospital!!!!!

What he's not telling you, which you probably know by now, is Willis is a Madman.
