Well, tore it apart, and it is all sorts of pieces. I am pretty much going to need a lot of new stuff. If anyone knows of any deals, be sure to think of me. I need pretty much everything other than a case and tranny. I don't want to talk about specifics at this time, but will make a post with pics in the near future to explain better.

ouch...crank, rod, piston and cylinder huh? Head gone as well?

I know you will only take this as an opportunity to make it better and faster...but I can feel the sting in the rear pocket from here...

Go 2 stroke

CRF 450 and your done.

ah chit man, that sucks! was hopin youd be able to get er done with just the cylinder. ill be on the look-out

Damn!! saw it go down at the hill, never got a chance to meet ya with all the chaos and such. good luck with the build though.

That sucks Jeremy

At least you know that the blaster is good for football

Those two turboed four cylinder quads looked real good going up the hill. I looked for you too meet up with 24V but everyone and their brother had a blue YFZ there. I didn't re-call your new sticker kit.

Good luck with the re-build.

My quad wasn't there. I went over in a rail.

Jeremy sorry to hear of you bad luck with the quad. Do you think it will be up and running before Pres. day?

bummer guy, I did stop over and look at it when you had it on the trailer.

put a yfz1100 motor in her, I think crash has the one he was trying to put in a raptor still

Are you trying to get the guy killed?

Hey Jeremy-sent you a PM about this, will give you a call later

Jeremy,

Bob at magnolia tractor will hook you up really nice. Get in touch with him on the tech, and he can set you up. Let me know if you need any help or an audience.

sucks, R.I.P. 24v-467 (or however big it was) its gsx-r time! can you say, busa?

That sucks Jeremy now who is going to be my wingman on thoose big rides

Well, after some sleep, and thinking, I have decided to repair what I have. It is going to run me around 12-1500 bucks on the cheap side. But, I will have more power, and will be 478cc's. Not to mention, I am going to add a few other touches along the way. The bad part is, this ends my season. The good part is, it will be very fast again next season. I will be out for the golf tourney, but we are just going to drie out for sat, and leave early sunday. No quads, just the truck.
Mike- Not being able to follow you through the dunes is probably the worst part of this all. I was really starting to learn something. Oh well, everyone pray for a miracle, and maybe I can get it back together sooner than expected.

So what happened to the motor? What caused it to grenade?

Can I guess? Any yfz over 50 hp needs a aftermarket rod. Either falcon or carillo or whatever. It isn't a question of if but when the stock rod will break. Once you cross that threshold you have to run a aftermarket rod. After a pipe and cam mod you can do one other mod and still be fairly safe. either a piston, a cam, or ported head but not 2 or more of them. Luckily you didn't trash the cases if this is what happened. Too bad 24. I liked racin ya. I know the feeling. I burned up my shee bad right before Halloween. My motor was only 10 hours old since the new crank, bore, and total rebuild. Just takes green right? Good luck on getting your parts. I got lucky on mine. Hope you do too.

You could not be further from the truth. Not to mention, I have yet to hear of a rod failure on a yfz. Rod bearing, yes. But a rod, no. BTW, I personally know at least a dozen other people that are running the same setup I had with no problems. Lets just say mine was a freak failure. Not a normal common problem.

getterdone guy.

Sorry to hear that man, hope you didn't blow er up on acount of our pending drag race Good luck with the rebuild.

That's it, I was scared. Figured if I blew it up, could put you off til it was faster.

Give or loan?

Hey J, let a brotha know when your gonna turn some wrenches. I'm a great supervisor and bring my own beer. Would love to come over and hang out with you and the mrs. And I just got some more "Nothern Lights" I'll bring over to share. 949 306 6499

If your rod did break, and it broke just below the wrist pin it is a common failure. Anything over 50hp and more rpm its gonna eventually break. A friend of mine scattered his last year. You were lucky. It took his cases out also. Windowed top and bottom. It isn't a freak thing. This is one area the honda's are better.
