Hello everyone. I plan on racing MX and maybe some TT this season and need to know what else should I do to my quad to be ready. Below is a list of mods so far:

Pipe - Thunder-Alley, Jetting - 45, 170, 2 turns, Bars - Tag T2 (twist throttle and Tag grips), Cam Mod, Air Box - Alba
Pro Flow w/ K + N, no lid, Bumper - AC, Nerf Bars - AC Pro peg w/ heel guards, GYT-R lightning graphics

Need to do: Axle - LSR or RPM, Wheels - ITP, Douglas, or Burgard Beadlocks for the rear, not sure for the front (what do you think?), A-arms - +2 Burgard premium? (open for suggestions), Suspension - Send to Derisi for revalve
What about skids? Is stock OK?
Thanks

LSR axle and RPM are great products....... take ur pick
any beadlock will be fine and get Douglas .190s w/ a rolled edge up front
+2 burgard premiums would be a great choice
and get an engine skid and u dnt even need one for the swingarm really

sounds pretty good might want to look into getting gussets put on your frame. been some people saying they are cracking their frames under hard stress.

I had a set of burgards on a 250R and the second time riding w/ them I got tangled up in a holeshot and they bent a little. Maybe they just got hit in the right spot to bend them. But you can get +2 LT a-arms from JB Racing. Jody makes really good parts and I think retail on them are only $695.
Thats what I am gonna be running on my 450

You will be fine with an LSR axle. I had a bad experience on my Raptor and I can not believe to this day my LSR axle did not bend. They are really good quality! When I get another axle it will definelty be LSR. The last one I had would not bend, even after I landed on it from a pretty big jump after my tire came off in the air.

your gonna wanna have 18" rear tires on 8" or 9" rimthe back offset is all about the same, which ever you pick/ and i went with a 10"rim with a offset of 2"on the outside and 3" on the inside for the front with 20" tires

you want the small tires for a couple reasons: it helps lower the quad, lees body roll, and lower gears

 

[maverick7593]

Your tire came off while you were in the air!! :O Ouch

 

[clutch_56]

LSR OR RPM AXLE

BURGARD OR LONESTAR A-ARMS
