This year we are going to be running a 125 raptor chassis with the YZ 85 engine (96cc setup) in the 90 open class.
I have already started working on the setup. Our colors are white and kawi green.
LSracing is sponsoring us so we are using the swinger from them and rear assembly I'm also running LSR a-arms. We are also sponsored by Teixeiratech so we are using their gusset kit and their rear ring gear guard. (debating on getting a full frame skid or not still).
First order up is stripping the down to the frame for engine removal, gusseting and such. from there will be the new engine mounting designs and radiator mounting and finally swingarm re-enforcements and such.
Well here's where we are at.
ATV was torn complete down to the frame. sold motor and all electrical and exhaust.
I wondered why when we adjusted the suspension it never quite worked how we wanted it. Well we found out why. the previous owner had a bad accident and tweaked the front end of the frame some. $200 later it was straightened. So I installed a new gusset kit. I do all my own work, so I am welding in the new kit and then having the Frame powder coated Kawi green. (my son likes green so quad colors are green and white.) I'm also going to get the a-arms coated. thank god I took them apart, bearings were failing and both lower ball joints were shot to piss. So I am ordered a +2 chromoly swinger and will also get him a new Fox rear shock. The front shocks are custom valve and sprung YFZ450R shocks and work perfectly (Very heavy duty compared to others) but they will need a refresh for this season, so I will have a place do them near me. Cost is $210 for both fronts so very good deal! For an extra $50 they will help set the sag and other settings for my son's riding to center so we have a good middle starting to adjust from.
Motor was shipped off to Lukesracing.com (Awesome 2-stroke shop) to get new HotRod crank, and 96cc BB setup installed. (another sponsor of sponsor of ours)
I am working on getting the final engine mounts build and the radiator installed, the I will be taking our pro circuit pipe to get modified to fit the new setup.
i will post some photos i have later this evening.
thanks for looking
