Someone previously to me, wired it that way. They removed the thermostat in the bottom of the radiator to make the fan run all the time.

Sanding flapper disk.

​@@gordonwbell awesome thanks 👍

​@@gordonwbellI finally did the yfz450 shock swap and Alba +2 A-arms. You still have this? You should make more videos

@@Kevin_Yagoonie unfortunately, regretably, I sold the raptor…..

@@gordonwbell oh darn. Was a nice 660

I bought them off the trail tech website and I made my own bracket to secure it to the handle bar using some aluminum angle plate.

👍🏾

What specifically do you want to know?

I’m 46.5” with the rims and tires I was running with the spacers on the outside of the hub - (narrow configuration) for woods riding. So it would be 48.5 then at its widest setting.

​@@gordonwbell hmm. I'm asking because I measured mine and it's at 48". I bought it used and looks to have a extended axle. But I want to get to 50" in rear. And yours looks wider than mine 🤔

@@Kevin_Yagoonie someone might’ve flipped the rims so that they’re narrower. The deeper dish should be to the outside with the air stem.

​@@gordonwbellwheels ain't flipped

​@@gordonwbelldo you have +2" a-arms on it?

Thanks man. It was a learning process for sure. I had the basics from working on cars for 20 years, but this was a little different especially dealing with the carbs. I got them really dialled in though.

I was riding it earlier this year, but recently sold it. New guy is a gearhead too, so he’s going to a few things that I didn’t get to. The thing absolutely tears…..I ripped it pretty hard through the gears the day it was sold.

Dumped out the old gas, put fresh gas in it, swished it around a lot, then let it sit for a week, swished it around again and then drained that gas. Took the petcock out and replaced it as the screens were completely rotted away but they usually can be cleaned. You will need a big JIS bit to break the petcock screws free though.

Thanks man!! I’m running the GBC XC Masters

​@@gordonwbell thanks I'm trying to decide them or Obor

Thank you! Was that a good screaming or bad? Lol

@@gordonwbell you tell me. How did it hold up? I’ve worked on a bunch of machine and car where people used torches and it just lit a fire under the oxidation. I suppose yours were pretty cashed so what does it matter. Not really much other option.

@@novarocker247 they held up for the most part pretty good….however during the learning process I did add too much heat to some small areas that ended up softening and deforming. The plastics could use a thorough clean and buff again though, as it’s been two years.

Yup. But only for the Carburetor model of 450. The fuel injected models had longer shocks, which would fit with specially made long travel a-arms - which do exist. But on the cheap, carb 450 shocks with stock a-arms is best bang for buck.

@@gordonwbell appreciate it 🙏

@KG Productions I couldn't find any other videos on the process. Great in depth information 👌

I kind of did. Is there something specific you want to know?

Yes they are. 15 3/4”

Hey man, unfortunately I won’t be selling. But I have figured out who made it - Bling racing, although they don’t exist anymore but maybe you can find one on eBay.

Is there anyway you can give me the dimensions to the airbox so I can try to make one? Pls and thank you very much this was a great build and amazing turnout

I did some googling and found a company that was called Bling Racing. That airbox is from around 2002. My brother owned it in 2005…..and it was there before that.

Yup, my part 1 video walks you through that. I used Raptor 700r shocks. Thanks for watching.

They were good! Once I dialled them in a bit with the compression and rebound clickers, they soaked everything up.

About $1700 CDN. New bored Yamaha Cylinder, new wiseco piston, gaskets, new timing chain, new valves, used valve springs, new cylinder head bolts, one way starter clutch, oil pump, oil supply line, gas tank petcock, carburetor rebuild kit and bigger jets, bolt repair heli-coil kits, etc.

@@gordonwbell Dang. I don't know what's wrong with it. Ik thier was a shifting problem. And a over heating issue.. but thanks for the info...

Hey, the costs will be a lot different for each person. I live in Canada so parts are lot more expensive than the states due to currency conversion and duty fees from shipping them from the states. If it’s a ticking noise could be a simple fix like have the valves adjusted or the timing chain is stretched - both fairly inexpensive to do. I get a buddy who’s experienced in mechanics have a listen to it before spending any money. That all being said, I was $1000 for a running engine again without splitting the cases. I did the cylinder, piston, valves, timing chain, starter clutch, oil pump and rebuilt water pump. So the crank and gears were still good. Hope that helps man.

@@gordonwbell sweet thanks dude! I’m also in Canada! I’m a take it to the mechanic in town here hopefully soon and get him to have a listen. The guy I got it from said it always sounded the way it does but it makes me a lil nervous. Rather get it looked at and dealt with before something goes wrong. Also clean build dude good job!

@@gordonwbell just got some news and my cam chain was extremely stretched! Do you have a certain brand or recommendations for a new one?

Thanks. I will for sure e

www.gpa-motors.com/products/copy-of-forged-billet-twin-row-rear-axle-bearing-carrier-fit-suzuki-quadracer-450-06-09 They have doubled in price since I bought it.

Thanks. I wasn’t the first to try just removing the silencers, just did it differently using brackets. Some guys have gutted the silencers and painted them, but at $300 each, that’s a bit steep for me if I want to reuse them at some point.

I think it turned out GREAT and low cost. It must ROAR now.! (smiles) I am going to watch more of your MotoVids tonight. BTW: The LiveStream starts in 45mins on "Jarvisbiker" channel.

@@AngelFaceMotoRider ya it’s more noticeable while cruising, and idling. When on the throttle it’s still tame though which is what I wanted. I’ve had bikes before that you had to wear ear plugs for - which isn’t fun sometimes.

I hear ya (but just barely) LoL Hey KG, sorry that I didn't give you enough notice for the Canadian MotoStream this evening. Would you like to join us next Monday evening.? Do you know how Motorcycle LiveStream operate.? Do you enjoy them.?

@@AngelFaceMotoRider all good man. I’m actually working. I don’t understand - want me to listen to your podcast or be a part of it? I’m not to sure what I would say to be honest.

No. The catalytic converter is still in place.

Not that I’m aware of, unless you drill some holes in the swing arm so you can get a grease fitting in them.

Thanks so much man! I appreciate your compliment.

@@gordonwbell sent you a message and request

Hey, unfortunately I would not. It’s better to buy a nearly or fully complete but blown up, ratted out, clapped out bike, that the frame isn’t damaged or been modified. I say this because, even though you might end up replacing a lot of things, it’s better to have all the pieces that are hard to find and work from that. You can buy intact and good condition bottom end of the engines and then build that up, if you want - but to do that, it needs to be a rolling chassis, meaning it has the wiring harness, CDI, wheels, plastics, seat, suspension etc. I hope this helps.

@@gordonwbell I have a frame, gas tank, gas tank rubber , seat sterring wheel stick. I just wanted to know if it would be worth it to start it with the parts I have. You think or its time to sell it and just not build it.

Hey, I think I’m going to need more information of exactly what’s going on and where this hose comes from. At the moment it sounds like the fuel overflow from the carburetors…..but I want to be sure.

It sounds like your crank case vent.. is it like a ½inch in size? Or real small? If it's small then it maybe an over flow line from the carb.. .. if it has gas constantly coming from it. It say you have a stuck float..

My dollars

@@gordonwbell I can't get my to crank at all any suggestions please 🥺

@@projprojiggy7146 what have you tried?

@@gordonwbell I cleaned carb it spin no crank it got the bore kit but I'm lost just got it on a trade and never had one before

@@gordonwbell it wasn't running when I got it just trying to see if it's bad or what I need to do

Ya that’s normal. Mine is not. Someone had wired mine to be on all them time. There is a thermostat switch in the bottom of the radiator that switches on the fan. Your fan should come on around 208F or 98C. I thought of returning mine to stock but I someone cut the plug off the wiring harness.

@@gordonwbell oh ok thanks also great vid

Yea a build is fun an all but nothin beats a brand new showroom fresh quad! Enjoy.

@@Davido50 When I get done restoring my 2001 it will be showroom quality as EVERYTHING on it is brand spanking new. Guess you could say that I bought and built mine lol😂.
