Kick ass.. I wonder though.. Could the Ice age be starting? Did anyone see that show on the discovery channel about how ice ages start with the warm low salinity water on top of the ocean being rapidly replace by cold water from the depths? in a rapid mix.

OFC, wasn't there a movie about that too????

They were very pro-active with the frame recall on the 450.
Early on they got a welder certified to do the welding repair and for Suzuki to back it.
They get 'em all fixed before they put 'em out for sale........

So, I just couldn't resist myself.
They gave me a great deal I couldn't refuse,
even though they are about to the end of the '06 model year I think it was more than fair.
Definately would touch an '07 for what I paid.

The '07 Z400 will have a all black LE, that should be pretty sweet..........

Hey Jayna.... or anybody else for that matter BR>Any suggestions for the 450?
They gave me the Cherry Bomb, air box vents, and removed the spark arrester.
I think that's all I'll need for how I'm gonna ride. Don't care to win any drag races.

Good Morning PSAR. 66 F outside rite now and looks to warm up quick today.

Q4F gots lots of new stuff to play with. Congats and have lot's of fun, I know your family is going to enjoy it. Making memories for the kids.

Found the problem with the winch on my quad, blown fuse. Didn't even know it was there. It was buried under a pile of wires and camouflaged by a layer of dust. Replaced it and all is good. Added a heavy power feed to the front rack as this problem surfaced when I was running the sprayer off the power outlet. Thought I had burned out some wires as the only fuses I could find were good.

Bear: Tell Chuck to get things fixed and make it to the ride. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

I pulled my airbox lid altogether. I happen to dislike foam filters so I also put a K&N with outerwears prefilter and adapter in. I had to cut the rear bracket for the stock filter out of the airbox for it to fit so no going back.

Don't forget you are pulling your spark arrestor when you pull your peashooter, so you will have to rig something up. I just used the open screen from my Yosh off the Z, but I would guess a straight piece of screen bolted under the endcap would work. Someone pointed out to me that Suislaw rec area doesn't require a spark arrestor, but I would rather be safe than sorry.

I run 20x11x8 Skat Trak Hauler Extreme 8-paddle on the rear and(I think)21x7x10 Kenda Dune Runners single rib on the fronts. I didn't realize it until I got to the dunes, but the rims I got were a 3 inch offset which made it WAY too wide for any trail on the dunes. For that matter it made the ride on whoops and flats downright uncomfortable, too. Found some rims down in Reedsport that were stock offset and it made a world of difference. I ran stock gearing to begin with, but dropped a tooth in the front after the first ride and really liked it better. I went everywhere I wanted to and it climbed out everything with very little effort. I LOVED IT!!! I feel it's the perfect setup. Can't wait to head back down. img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">BR>
I haven't ridden on the dual rib front sand tires. I think they are Sand Stars, but everyone that has them really loves them. I had a hard time tracking down the Hauler Extremes in 8" rim. I prefer to run 8" rims so I have less possibility of bending one bouncing off a root or something. Have had great luck with it so far. The places I usually order online from failed me, but Cycle Barn came through and had them for me in a week at comparable prices.

I got Nerfs with heel gaurds because I didn't like those stock heel guards and it's cheaper to get one unit. 22" paddle tires didn't seem like they would fit with stock heel guards. They might with the nerfs I have now, but I like the 20's.
I also have full skids. I would at least suggest a full body skid to replace the stocker as there is an oil line on the bottom of the engine that is critical to protect. The stock skid has holes in it, and while it's probably highly unlikely anything would penetrate it to damage that line, if it does, you are out a motor. Again, I would rather be safe than sorry.

I loosened(?) up my front shocks about 3 turns after the first couple rides. I like it. I didn't touch the rear. I pretty much let anyone that wants to take a spin on it. Haven't had anything but grins in return yet. img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Congrats on the new toys. I know you will LOVE the LTR450. The new rig will be awesome too. My setup works really well for just me, but I love those big toy haulers.

Let me know if there's anything I missed or if you have any suggestions for me. You guys should try to make Horsfal in September.

Thanks a bunch, great Info.........

Not sure what I'll do with the airbox. Maybe put the vents in and see how that does. Maybe replace the filter with a Uni-filter if they make one.
I don't know that much about this stuff.........

I'm on a sever time crunch, so I'm gonna go to Les Schwab and get sand tires (I have to outfit the 250ex,LT80,Blaster)
It'll cost more but we are leaving Friday am. Plus I was just gonna get the Sand Stars anyway.
I'll definately check the offset on the 450 wheels though to see if they are wider than stock.

I had a one tooth smaller front waiting for me when I bought this thing, but I forgot to go get it.
So I'll run and get one before we leave.

I think I'd like nerfs with the heel guards, I'll have to see what I can find.

I let my neighbors take a spin last night img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> They want to trade in their Z400's now, hehehehe

Thanks again for all the helpful info.

Thanks for all the congrats everybody. We are very fortunate to be able to do this.
We will get lots of use out of the truck and trailer with all the racing we are doing, and that doesn't count the normal camping trips we like to take.

Sean, if you are going to the dunes in Oregon, you might want to wait to get sand tires down there. They have a tendency to stock what the shops up here don't carry in stock because they have the market for it. Plus, no tax so there's a discount. Just a suggestion. DO NOT GET GECKOS. You could even call ahead if you are curious what they have. Schwab(At least up here) didn't really have the selection I wanted when I was looking.
I started out riding the Sandstars and prefer the straight paddle of the Haulers and the Extremes because they are durable as hell. Had my extremes on the z400 for 3 years. Still do. The straight paddles work so much better for grip coming out of holeshots and despite what you might hear they slide just fine when you want them to for trails. You ask anyone that has ever tried to follow me down the beach trail at Florence.

I ran my airbox without a lid with the stock filter too. It will work just fine and let it breathe better. I just like K&N because they are lower maintenance and seem to breathe better than foam.

The front sprocket is the same as for the z400. The rear isn't and I haven't been able to find any rear sprockets for it yet.

RMATV has some stuff, but not sure about delivery dates at this point. I found my AC Blackline(Black finish) nerfs on Ebay for much less than the AC site and most of the other sites didn't actually have them in stock. It might be better now that the quad has been out for a few months. I will post a pic in a bit so you can get an idea if you like the looks of them or not. Most of the sites don't have pics of the stuff mounted on the quad which is frustrating.

Of course, this is all JMHO.

I heard Kawi is coming out with a trail version of the LTR450 with reverse. Now that would be cool. That's really the only thing I could wish for on mine. Now that the Z is running right, I am happy to have it for trails. BR>
Cheers.

Hey Rod,

I hope you get better soon.
You are so right, definatley not fun being sick, especially when we have great weather...

How is Nate doing? Haven't heard an update in a while.
As usual,Wish him well and a safe return home.

---

Thanks Sean,
Nate's doing good. He has been back at Camp Anaconda for about two weeks now, packing everything up and then moving to Warhorse (Baquba area) for the remainder of his time in Iraq. Hopefully he'll be heading to Kuwaitt in October so he only has a couple more months in Iraq. FOB (Forward Operating Base) Warhorse is in a nasty area with lots of terrorist activity. The command likes how his unit handled that area on a temporary assignment so now they get to go there permanently for the remainder of his deployment. Oh joy of joys! Hopefully he'll keep his head down. He had his goggles shot off the top of his helmet in a firefight about a month ago. His best buddy took two rounds in the chest but his kevlar stopped them! Thank God for body armour!

Jayna, are you heading to Coos in August?
The 19th-23rd?
I know you were thinking about it. That's when we'll be down there. Jim Searles will be there too and I think Joel and Jolene are coming down for the weekend.

Naa bear.. Im real heavy in the left loafer but the right loafer isnt touching the ground right now. It would be easier to just get a wheelchair now. hr>

I was planning on it, but with my schedule change and workgroup change it's become shakey. I have reservations down there with Jim's group, but I am still trying to work out the time off that I previously had and not sure if I can afford the fuel bill for only 2 days down there. Now, being on the bottom of the seniority list is possibly putting me in a jam for time off in the summer. I haven't called Jim to cancel yet because I am still trying to get down there for the weekend at least. I have to see. I am hoping to know for sure this week.

I have confirmed that I am making the September trip.

We wish him well and continued safety, along with all the others in harms weigh............
Sounds like he is doing his job well, he should be proud..........As you and Cindy are I know.

Justin and I were just talking about this last night. The group that i go down with is going to be down there that week/weekend too. Jim Searles, The Newmans, Tp's crashing buddy is going to be down there along with their racing buddy's (i can never remember their names). Joel and Jolene know who i'm talking about. Anyways i was telling Justin that there is no way that i can get a week off work and still go hunting for a week in October/November. So i was thinking about possibly going down on the weekend. Justin might go down for the full week.

Joel or Jolene, if it's cool with you guys and i do end up going, can i ride down there with you guys and hitch hike a ride back too?? I will no more when it gets closer.

Posted by: warriorqueen

Sean, if you are planning on getting the extreme haulers (straight paddle) a good place to get them is SMI Motosports. They are located in Oregon. That's where i got Justin's and it took 2 days to get to my door, and Justin loves them.

Way to close for comfort. That warrior is the third young man I know of that the body armor has saved. When you contact your son let him know he and his pals are in our prayers.

You need to explain that as a retired guy you have important thing to do and them dropping in at the last minute isn't getting it. You schedule important stuff (quad rides) and these visitors need to check for permission first before rolling in. img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Yup, I agree. Seems sometimes that much as we love them family can be a PITA. But I'll get over it. We need to schedule another during the week ride, SWMBO will be getting her new work schedule in a few days and I'll know when I can go riding. Her days off are spoken for, she's lots more fun than you guys.

Hey Sean, MB is right, I run 20x11x8 The first number is height, second width and third is rim size. They are not too wide for the 450. All you want to watch is the offset on any rims you pickup(front and rear) so it doesn't widen out the quad more than stock.
The only diff from the ones you have to the ones I run is you will need to find 10" rims. I already had 8" rims on hand and like the smaller rim. Hauler Extremes just have a stiffer, slightly heavier paddle than regular Haulers. I doubt you will notice a difference and I bet you will really like them.

And yes, Honda and Suzuki run the same bolt pattern on the rear 4/110. Fronts on Suzuki are 4/144. Not sure if that matches Honda for the front. Glad you found some for your trip.

Not gonna happen for a ride, bar-b-que or fishing would work but SWMBO has tried the quads and they are not her thing. She is willing to go the the trail head and stay at the camper while I ride but not wanting to ride the quads.

If you are disabled the pass is free even if you aren't 62 and the only time you have to pay is camping fees and then it is half off. Pretty much a really good deal.

Thanks. I saved all the info you put in your first reply, thanks a bunch.
I've measured the offset.......it's about 3" inside, 5 inches outside.

I'll see what wheels I can find for the haulers I've got and try them out.
If not I can always get others.

Thanks again

LdyJay is right on target with this last paragraph. Seems to me it is time to take some action that will really let these people know of the support they have. Sending e-mails and donating to "care" packages being sent says something but I feel the need to do something more.

Since Rod's posting of his son's experiances I have learned of another young warrior that has been saved by body armor. The danger these people are facing needs to be honored and it is we here in the homes they are protecting that need to do it.

If you are disabled the pass is free even if you aren't 62 and the only time you have to pay is camping fees and then it is half off. Pretty much a really good deal.

Their replacements are already in Mosul with them so we are waiting to hear if they will be staying where they are or moving to Baghdad. From his emails he is in the same kind of situations as Nate and has had some really close calls that are making his mother have some sleepless nights.

I am very thankful to all these exceptional men and women who are serving in our armed forces, past present and future, for everything they sacrifice to serve our country. Please keep them in your thoughts and do whatever you can to honor their service.

LdyJay is right on target with this last paragraph. Seems to me it is time to take some action that will really let these people know of the support they have. Sending e-mails and donating to "care" packages being sent says something but I feel the need to do something more.

Since Rod's posting of his son's experiances I have learned of another young warrior that has been saved by body armor. The danger these people are facing needs to be honored and it is we here in the homes they are protecting that need to do it.

Hmmmmm I wonder if I am eligible with 40% service connected disability. I know I get a cheap hunting and fishing license. Are talking about the northwest forest service pass?

Body Armor is the chiznit it has saved my azz more than once! In Special Operations we get the good stuff, but I always worry about the Infantry and other guys on the ground that may not get the same equipment, I can't say to much more but if there is anything you guys can do to spread the equipment around please do so the problem is there.

Problem is that about 4 months ago the Army mandated that no one(at least in Ryan's brigade)could wear anything other than what was issued to them. Anyone that had body armour provided from home was told to send it back home. According to the Army it may have been a problem in the beginning, but everyone is outfitted with body armor now. At least we know Ryan and his unit is. I hope all our troops have all the best.
