450Riot

You still have a bit of a lean stutter around quarter throttle eh? Right after you turned around on the road there she sounded like it was starving. I know you were (are?) having jetting issues. Was this vid before or after you played with jetting?

I can get you the thicknesses tonight from the blingstars. The wheel side is roughly 3/8" and the inner is about 1/4 or less. When I installed it the inside guard rubbed on the swingarm. I was in a hurry to go rippin so I just jacked it up and put some throttle to it. Might have taken 1/16" out of the swinger where it made contact. So I highly suggest if you're going to start making these that you figure that issue out. Also some shorter hardware would have been nice. The bolts they supply are about 3/4" too long and now I've got 4 ugly studs hangin out the wheel side. I also suggest you do something for traction like they have. The reason I didn't buy other brands is because blingstar has the grooves for traction when your stuck on something and that's whats hung up. All I can say is that it works flawlessly. I also got their rotor guard but they don't supply the extra mount for extreme use, and they don't offer it on their website, and also don't answer the phone or emails when you ask about it for the 450R's.

I've always run DID since the OEM wore out. TM Designworks makes a nice slide n' guide kit for sure. As far as gearing preferences I found a really nice setup with a complete stock engine with a Dasa in and out on a 14/39. Never rev out in 5th but 1st could be a little longer. Works nicely in 2nd to start though.

What does drilling out the breather tee do? More power = more cc pressure? Pressure relief = more power?

What else are you waiting on?

No email yet.. I'm sure they get tons of stupid people like myself asking them stupid questions like my own every day! Haha.

Gonna send them an email. I bet they made it so it only fits their lever.

Nope. It measures 35mm. Oem is 32.5mm like you say. Wtf is pt thinking

Gonna do some grinding and possible stripping of some threads but I might have a solution here..

Wow man thanks alot for that insanely fast response. I'll go measure mine after supper here.

Soooo now I'm pissed. Got my Pro Taper hotstart lever today. Looks like it'd only match up to a Pro Taper lever as well. Heres how it works.. it's a half clamp with a pivoting hotstart lever attached to the bottom. Everyone knows how a half clamp works so I'm sure you can visualize the rest. The center to center on the mounting holes is about 4mm off from the OEM lever's c-c. The only fix I can think of is drilling the threaded hole in my clutch half out so that I could put a zip tie through. I could also try tapping out my clutches half clamp a bit and doing the same to the PT Hotstart but theres not much material there and it'd definitely break within one season. I don't wanna buy the Pro Taper lever to go with it because I'm saving up for the Streamline Hydraulic Clutch. What I'm hoping someone can do for me is measure their Streamline Hydro's center to center with a digital caliper and post it. That way I'll know if this hotstart is gonna work for it or not. Thanks!

My guy just showed up today with my Pro Taper Hotstart lever. They are really nice for the price you pay $10. It is a half clamp so it mounts up to your clutch lever's mount. Hopefully all of this clears my Pro Design since I have Pro Taper Travis Pastrana FMX Dirtbike bars on it! Hahaha

Some deals fell through on the clutch but I got the pro design done. Need a new basket worse than a hydraulic clutch and I'm in a money bind so we'll see what happens this winter. Might be an electrician by spring and actually have some money!

Blingstar makes a pretty trick sprocket cover for the DS's. Not sure if they plan on doing one for the TRX..

How nervous were you to open the UPS box this time?? Haha. Glad you got it back all in one piece this time! Are you gonna run an old chain to wear the powder off the teeth of those sprockets or no? Build looks sick man. You goin plain or with graphics?
