GoPro of My Race ATV XC AMA D14 Round #5 @ T-Time Acres 6th Overall with 2nd in Class
Another awesome day of ATV XC Racing with the AMA District 14 series in Michigan. This was a fun shorter than usual track with some tricky little challenges along the way. Took home a 2nd place finish with 6th overall. The Honda TRX450ER is ripping better than ever! Round #6 here we come!

Переглядів 6672 роки тому
One thing after another it seems with this old Honda TRX450 but its turning out better than expected. A few suspension flaws found, fixed, and getting our engine back from Baldwin. Almost ready for Round #5 at T-Time Acres for the District 14 ATV XC Harescrambles here in Michigan.
Trying to fix the TRX450ER before Round #4 D14 ATV XC Racing. Stupidity or Perseverance?

With only a few days between races we try to fix some of the issues with our Honda TRX450ER before Round #4 of District 14 ATV XC Racing in Michigan. Although the results were not what we had hoped for, the outcome is even better than we originally had in mind! Thanks for watching!

Our first ever 1st place finish for round #3 in the AMA D14 ATVXC Racing at Dutch Sport Park. The Honda is NOT happy after this one. Lots of broken stuff. Will we make it to the next race?!?

Round #3 District 14 ATV XC Racing GoPro! Dutch Sports Park 2021
Переглядів 6773 роки тому
This was a tight one. Bare with me as I clean the GoPro lens as often as possible. First lap was a mess but we picked up the pace as we found our groove. Some mistakes before we even started, some laughs, frustration, 92 degree heat, dusty conditions, hydration tube failed. Even after all that it was still a blast, AND we were able to secure our First Ever 1st place finish in District 14 ATV XC...
UGH! Last minute Race Prep and Suspension Tuning on the Honda TRX450ER.

Once again we're cutting it close trying to wrap things up in prep for Round #3 at Dutch Sports Park with District 14 ATV XC. Little guy gets some new gear for his Stacyc racing and we have some issues when trying to "tune" suspension on the Honda TRX450.

Did you stop making videos
Tire size?
What sproket adaptor do you have?can you use the factory adaptor to put the sproket guard on?
Absolutely love the build bro,love the trx450er! Ive got one myself an she works great!
No more videos? Did you fall off the face of earth?
Holy shit is this track technical / tight!
No more videos?
Any new videos coming up? These are a year old.
Hey when you hook up that Glann big fan if you leave off that black ground eye terminal the fan will kick on with the temp sensor?
I’m about to buy n 08 trx450 what you think.From the pictures it looks good.I have a Yamaha YFZ450 06 just trying to see the difference n performance.
Anybody know what hood that is
LS4 Brawler
I like your videos. No new videos?
When I saw the new graphics that you had sitting on the side I looked at it and I’m like is that the same graphics that quad was for sale on Facebook I asked myself. So I went into my Facebook marketplace and looked in my saved section in there your quad was for sale for 10 grand in Leonard Michigan. I almost pulled the trigger but my brother didn’t want to take a ride up with me all the way from Pennsylvania. I even commented on it in your post on the 450r Facebook group. That was one sweet set up you had. What are you racing now? Did you switch over to Yamaha? Man those bottom ball joints are crazy trying to get off?!! I didn’t know Lonestar had those ball joints set up like that with the groove notched in. My brother and his son both run maximum ground clearance roll design long travel a arms both on there 450er’s oh and after seeing how they use these copper bushings with a silicone coating in them and it cost over $200 to replace the bushings that only last half a season I think houser is your best bet for a-arms. Yeah I just think it’s funny how I ran into your channel. I decided not to get a quad and just buy another new camera and a few lenses with the money. I’m a professional photographer I’ve been going to the PA AWRCS series in my spare time doing some races in between all the weddings and senior portraits. But yeah if my brother would’ve came up with me I would’ve definitely bought it
Man love the videos keep it up need to see more 🤙🏼
Glann Innovations is a great company. They are very nice and went out of their way to give me info.
You selling you old plastic
Post some new videos
what year is your quad?
Definitely need some new content! Just found your channel. Good stuff
I could tell u wanted to pass them so bad ik i did😂
where’s the new videos man
A lot has happened over the last few months. Keep an eye out over the next week or two!
Hell yeah man welcome to d14. I was at this race just not racing that day my son did though. You racing this year?
Thanks man! I had an amazing first season with D-14. I will for sure be racing the 2022 season just not sure which class yet.
@@tforrest30 o class 👌 you moving up classes this year
@@tforrest30 you'll know me when you see me I'm on a trx250r orange and blue
Will certainly be moving up a class or two this season. Took 1st overall for C-class in 2021 so don’t have much choice lol. Just debating on Vet or A.
Thanks for the video!!
My raptor sits right around 48" looks like it might be too wide for this.
Not at all. I’m 48” all the way around and do just fine. This was one of the tighter tracks that’s for sure. Per regulation all trails are a minimum of 50” wide. Might be a little tight but the raptor will do just fine!
Do you know doug albaugh or his son ??
I think Doug and Jacob race OXCR mainly. I know OF them but do not know them personally.
What class is this
This is the faster side of C-Class. Most of which will be racing B or better next season.
I don't use a chain tool. I grind the pin flat with the link and use a hammer and punch. Learned it from an old man that worked on conveyor belts at a factory.
I’ve tried it both ways over the years and can’t really say which I prefer. Chain tool works great when it actually works but feel like half the time I’m fighting it more than anything. lol
This track reminds me of the alcona orv trail I ride by aunts house. I like how your noisy brakes give me insight on where your braking. Lol.
Haha yeah the noisy brakes were not ideal especially once the bolts sheered from the rotor and I lost them completely lol. However, it works great for studying the video later. 😂
What suspension do you recommend for a 2013 trx450er for xc
Depends on your budget really. A lot of great companies out there. As for A-Arms I would suggest Houser or Teixeira Tech. As for shocks Fox and Axis seem to be the favorite amongst most XC riders, your choice on springers or air shocks. I personally use Fox Float front shocks with Laeger XC arms, Hess GT Thunder linkage in the rear combine with a Fox Podium X shock and love that setup however switching to Houser arms for this coming season.
how is that battery working out??
Have cooked two of them so far within 4 races. Not sure if 24v issue or just too much bouncing around in the tray. Switching to one without the “restart technology” and going to wrap entire thing in foam to see if that helps save it a bit longer. We’ll see!
@@tforrest30 thanks , I'm on the fence about getting one of those,I don't race anymore but still. we will see...
Looked like a tough one!
They’re never easy that’s for sure! Gotta say this was one of the easier shorter tracks so far this year. Was actually a ton of fun to shred! Thanks again for watching brotha!
Man, that is a list a projects! Sounds like it is all coming together fairly quickly though which is good. New graphics look sweet.
Thanks! I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t have a million projects at once. She’s coming together better than ever. Blessing in disguise if you will.
@@tforrest30 better to have a long list of things to fix and have everything 100% versus racing with something marginal that leaves you on the side of the track.
Congrats on the win! Yeah, that looked lie a rough one. Not a fan of those, I like more of a fast track myself.
Hey 2 Gils! I have to agree there. I do enjoy a technical track, but boy was this one just a little too tight for my liking. Was a tough win for sure. Greatly appreciate you watching!
Great video, looking to hit one of these events before the season is over
Thanks for watching! Hope to see you at one of the races. Be sure to come say hi if you see me out there. 🤘🏼
Great video! Those woods are frickin brutal!
Thanks man! The woods were certainly no joke but it was an awesome time!
That is crazy tight in those woods!
Have you looked into a twist throttle? Looks painful just watching lol
I use a pretty nice Urmosi adjustable throttle and removed one of the throttle return springs so it’s not as bad as you’d think. I tried a twist throttle years ago and loved it when it worked. The problem was unlike a bike, your body moves and the machine stays centered for the most part. Where on a bike, the bike moves under the body, and the body stays more centered. For me personally, in deep corners it was easy to lose throttle position control and any strange rear ended buck would make you whiskey it, or cause you to let off for a second and smash your face into the fender. lol
Great job Sunday! You are killing it. The quality of your videos is excellent. I haven't done any racing videos since the helmet rule. I didn't think the quality would be good if it wasn't on a helmet. After seeing yours and Brent's, I might have to get some new mounts. I made a few last year, mostly of my son in youth and my daughter in minis. Keep up the good videos and strong finishes!
Thanks a lot! I greatly appreciate the support! You had one heck of a race Sunday as well. I’m using a backpack strap Mount with a 360 ball head on my Uswe hydration pack. That helped a lot with getting it up high like the chin mounts and keeping the angles right. I’ll bring it by and show you next race. 🤘🏼
Love the videos man glad I got to meet you at whiskey Creek race
Thanks brotha! I greatly appreciate the support! Hope to see you Valley. 🤘🏼
+1 on the locktite
No doubt! You could almost make a drinking game out of how many times I say “Blue locktite” 😂
Wish my quad ran like that thing!
Get yourself a Honda and it will! 😂 Just kidding. Believe me it’s a constant battle to keep her running as well as she does. The wind blows and air/fuels are off. Carb life!
Great content tits 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
