mawest Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The ims tank is awesome I only had to fill up once today and normally it's 2 to 3 times, and not much difference in weight, I'd say overall it a great investment. As soon as I figure out how to download some video from the go pro I'll put them up I had about three hours of different clips today and the battery held up perfectly. I had about a quarter charge left at the end of the day. I'm thinking a new mini sd card for each of us and probably a battery per rider as well. We can switch them all out in about a minute so it's a pretty quick change per rider. Man I am surprised you have to fill up that often. I can go for a good 50 to 70 miles ride on one tank. My stock tank is 3.2 gallons. Cant wait to see some videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinky93071 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 the spot tracker things works good.. I have a friend that used the gen1 for road trips I was her 911 call and ended up using it when she had a blow out one night. I can pick it up for taking her to dinner, I will get it activated and test it to see if everything is still working. I think i can even get the ram mount for it from her as well..

Vasilios Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 So I guess I'm going to conform to the twist throttle mine is on the way I got it for 30 buck with grips. I have a friend that owed me a favor so he's hooking me up with it. I never thought I'd go back to a twist, but I'll be dammed out there on the race course if I don't get used to it now.

El Mamito USMC Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 youll see its a lot more confortable for long races... also I got good news on the hotel.

Vasilios Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Toasted the motor on the quad, it looks like something in the bottom end, lower rod bearing most likely, I guess it's time to build it, I'm thinking stock crank, Carrillo rod, cp piston, stage 2 cam with a nice intake system, I want it reliable. But still real snotty. Any other ideas out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and I hope you get back riding soon. It's going to the machine shop this week, I'm just disappointed the motor didn't last at least a year. Do you guys have any ideas for a build, I'm not going for a big bore setup, it needs to be nasty and reliable at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
