chronicsmoke Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Never had a St. II, I bought the 450 pretty well stock with an HRC kit. I heard the HRC is more top end oriented which suits me fine, I'm used to feathering the clutch like a 250r Quote CRASHTEST RACING IMMORTAL ATV http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7cbc5acb2a1ab76eac286e7fe5b4520d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronicsmoke Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Finally back together! I had to plug the grease fitting hole on the swingarm bearings because the chain rides there. Last year the chain rubbed through the zerk almost to the core. Fitting it all back together (here's where it gets pic heavy ) 1 Quote CRASHTEST RACING IMMORTAL ATV http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7cbc5acb2a1ab76eac286e7fe5b4520d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronicsmoke Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 got to take it for a spin though last night, this thing is a BEAST. Not too much power or snap but I noticed I barely have to shift If I dont want to.. Come out of a tight corner in third and hold the throttle all the way and it will pull it. My buddy on a yamaha didn't have much to say when I passed him a few times haha 1 Quote CRASHTEST RACING IMMORTAL ATV http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7cbc5acb2a1ab76eac286e7fe5b4520d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronicsmoke Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 so far so good, I don't really notice them to be honest. I didn't have a whole lot of seat time this season before I put them on and now I can't tell when my hands pivot. I still shocked my wrist though on Saturday when I overshot the double in the pic above and landed a little front end heavy.. My buddy was trying to bust my balls saying "all that suspension, stabilizer and flexx bars and you still hurt your wrist" but I told him just because I have a good setup doesn't mean my wrist problems go away completly, lol.. that could have been a broken or another sprain if I didn't have them.. Worth it to me anyway, lol Quote CRASHTEST RACING IMMORTAL ATV http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7cbc5acb2a1ab76eac286e7fe5b4520d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyguns Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Saturday was the first time for me... I put the factory fresh kit in with yellow compression and red rebound. I couldn't feel them flexing while normal riding but did see them flex on a hard landing... I was getting wicked arm pump (something I never get).. Wasn't sure if the pump was from the bars. I was thinking maybe I was death gripping because they were flexing? Could have been the fact I haven't been on an MX track since last summer.... I need to ride them again before I make up my mind.

chronicsmoke Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 yah I notice them through the whoop sections more than anything, make sure you have them setup tp pivot with you in your natural riding stance too.. One of the nice things about the precision clams is they can move and flex in 360 degrees where the flex have one way motion. As for arm pump, my thumb is weak as fuck right now, I was getting really cramped after 5-10 minutes of hard riding, I notice my for-arms don't cramp up as much though, not gone completly and my arms a still a bit tender today, but I could keep going 'for what feels like' forever if my thumb didn't need work lol Quote CRASHTEST RACING IMMORTAL ATV http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7cbc5acb2a1ab76eac286e7fe5b4520d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
