Man, datz Kool. Nice lookn bike. All mods look good... Got me thinking 4 sure

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

Thank you...I hope you find something/info useful. I've done a few more mods since making the video...HiPer Tech 3 carbon 3-piece wheels (front and rear), taller MAXXIS RAZR tires all corners, Dura Blue Eliminator X-33 rear axle with bullet aluminum hubs, and completely beefed-up swing-arm skid plate.

@darrylcrockett8402 6 лет назад

Yes sir. I have a Ltz400. This is my next bike. Exact. Year n color. Can't wait to pick it up

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

That should be a very exciting day...

@HardEnduro8 7 лет назад

Good stuff. Bike looks awesome. Looks like it's built for long desert exploration.

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 7 лет назад

Thank you...It's definitely built to explore the PAIUTE TRAIL system (southern Utah). I've also done similar mods to the wife's quad (TRX250X)...video to follow.

@jessebussinger5058 5 лет назад

Very nice set up, i would probably add a small light bar on the handle bars so you can see where you turn alittle better. I looked up those fuel tanks because i thought that was a great addition and boy they are pricey but worth it. Maybe heat wrap the intake tube and under the fuel tank also

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 5 лет назад

Thank you...agree on all points. I already have a heat shield between the motor and gas tank...I did that when I installed the larger gas tank. I've been looking for a light setup, but haven't been aggressive with it seeing that I haven't had a need for it yet. Have a nice one...

@jessebussinger5058 5 лет назад

Very nice something else i thought of it might be beneficial to add some shock covers and a-arm skid plates. Like i said very nice build, really clean. I absolutely love the idea of a sport quad converted to a long distance trail quad ill be getting another yfz450r once i return from Afghanistan (currently deployed, army) and ill be getting my wife a raptor 250 both will be converted to a long distance style like yours. Very nice man, ride safe.😎

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 5 лет назад

@@jessebussinger5058 Thank you for your service...and stay safe (I'm retired USAF). My wife has a similar long haul build on her TRX250X Honda...in fact it might be the most expensive TRX250X around! :-)

@jamilcostley1 6 лет назад

I have the same exhaust on my YFZ450R. I cut about an inch off the radiator side of the radiator hose and it pulled it forward away from the exhaust header about an inch.

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

Thank you for the suggestion...I too thought of the same thing and cut it as short as I thought I could get away with...I just didn't mention it in the video. The hose was still too close so I wrap thing and shortly after making the video I picked up a Silicone Rad Hose Kit that has different bends (for the hose in question) thus allowing me to gain some additional space/room.

@joshuagomez7391 3 года назад

That’s cool🔥

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 3 года назад

I has been an excellent and very enjoyable quad...

@darthluke655 6 лет назад

Nice setup

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

Thank you...I've done three 60-75 mile rides thus far with the mods...pretty happy with everything.

@honeybutterworth5419 3 года назад

Well..at least it's a yfz450...the king all around do it all kinda bike.it don't lack in any department..

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 3 года назад

I couldn't agree more. I had to go 2" taller tires all four corners to get some better ground clearance...swingarm skid was taking a massive pounding! I'd take a much lower first gear and reverse for the slower exploring type trails.

@ewa2929 3 года назад

Nice set up.

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 3 года назад

Thank you... it has been working really well on the longer exploring rides (130+ miles).

@paulhavel4636 6 лет назад

Awsome setup

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

Thank you for the kind comment...the setup has been working out pretty good on the trails.

@andymartinez1326 4 года назад

What kind of bumper Is that man??? I love it!!

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 4 года назад

Yamaha Power Parts -- it is a GYTR Front Crash/Push Bar (but I did some Custom Fab Work to carry the 1/2 gal gas bottle).

@alejandromireles276 5 лет назад

Where did you buy that black cylinder container that was mounted on the back left side of the quad

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 5 лет назад

It the tool kit holder for a Honda TRX400EX or X model. Here are two part numbers--diff pricing, but they are the same container. RMATV has these in stock HONDA OEM: Part# 83500-HM3-000 (2002 Model yr) Part# 83500-HN1-A20 (2007 Model yr)

@dodge20071 5 лет назад

Very nice machine. I just got a new one myself 19 450R. Loving it. How’s the tool tube working for you?

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 5 лет назад

Thank you...2019! Very NICE!! The tool tube is working out well...however, the front fender bag is the one mod (out of the non performance mods) that I use every ride.

@michaellopes5829 Год назад

Hey quick question for you what tape do you use on radiator hose

@SteveSmith-wl8yq Год назад

You can do an easy search (mix of words) for Heatshield Hose Wrap Tape...here are the two types I used...one from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC and one off of Amazon. The amazon ones are better at blocking heat. Hope this helps. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/dei-cool-tape-heat-reflective-tape-p www.amazon.com/Design-Engineering-010416-Self-Adhesive-Reflective/dp/B000E267JW/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3EKQW56RIDFOQ&keywords=Design+Engineering+010416+Cool-Tape+Self-Adhesive+Heat+Reflective+Tape&qid=1687533171&s=hi&sprefix=design+engineering+010416+cool-tape+self-adhesive+heat+reflective+tape%2Ctools%2C169&sr=1-4 This one is not as good, but would work on RAD hoses that are not as close to the exhaust. www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Reflective-Adhesive-Self-Adhesive-Resistant/dp/B0936ZZ75X/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=ATU9T9QXQTP&keywords=heatshield+hose+wrap+tape&qid=1687532948&sprefix=heatshield+hose+wrap+tape%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

What brand is that little bag you rivited on? Looking to do the same thing

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 5 лет назад

They go under several names (one of them is Heartte). Here's a link to the type/model I purchased... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011BN2HYQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@dustinrichards8401 3 года назад

The one behind the bumper would get smashed if you ran into something and on the nerf bars

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 3 года назад

The bumper and nerf bars are thinner wall material than the bottles...the bumper and nerfs would get bent up way more than the bottles. My wife has two bottles behind her front bumper and she smacked a massive rock right on one of the bottles and the bumper mounts bent more than the bottle...the hit was so hard that her lower A-arm got damaged as well.

@ultimateone624 6 лет назад

Nice set up. Where did you get those fuel canisters at.

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

They are from a company called SandStorm (site is spunaluminumgastanks). They have many different sizes/capacities...just look under "Auxiliary Fuel Bottles"

@yhadyvasquez5888 3 года назад

Cuanto mide el tanque de fabrica? Ancho, alto y largo porfavor. Quiero incrustar uno en mi quad

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 3 года назад

No estoy seguro de cuáles son las dimensiones del tanque de fábrica. Solo sé que la cubierta del tanque de la fábrica (plástico) tiene que ser recortada en la parte superior (abertura hecha más grande) y la instalación del plástico alrededor del tanque del desierto es bastante apretada. Lo siento, no puedo responder a tu pregunta.

@JoseHernandez-ht7pj 5 лет назад

What is the name for the tape on the hose refrigeration???? I need this tape

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 5 лет назад

You use an "Adhesive Backed Aluminized Heat Barrier". Here are a few links of two different options: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029KC2K/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051USC5O/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But nice man 👍🏾

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

Thank you...I'm getting ready to do some other upgrades (make it more desert racer vs motocross). Have a nice one...

@ShayVisuals 6 лет назад

Should’ve got a raptor 700r this is a race quad lol

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

I almost did, but my old motocross days made it difficult to go with anything else but one of the 450 models (Honda or Yamaha). There are definitely times I wish I had opted for the Raptor, but I still do not regret going the 450 route. Have a nice one...

@lazarmrsic5623 4 года назад

Get a oversized tank

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 4 года назад

Already have one installed! It is an IMS 3.8 Gal tank...the fuel cylinders add another 2 gal of range...for the 5.8 total. I need to be able to safely make 160+ miles without hitting a gas station.

@codybeer7559 6 лет назад

u need a a big 4 wheel drive not a 450r for all that junk lmao

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

Yea, it's a lot of junk, but important trail side repairs/fuel junk. :-) Surprisingly I really do not notice the extra weight or stuff on the trails.

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 6 лет назад

Wildcard, thank you for the comments... I'd also bet if someone needed my "extra junk" on the trail-side (for repair/fuel) they wouldn't think it was "junk"... it would be like a glass of water in the desert! :-)

@waled121 5 лет назад

Waste of money. Should’ve bought something made for trails.

@SteveSmith-wl8yq 5 лет назад

Thank you for the feedback, but I'll have to disagree---and I will seeing that I'm the one that did all the research and shopping around before making a decision on what base quad I wanted to start my mods from. Also, most all of the GNCC racers would disagree as well...they race/ride trails with some minimal motocross sections/obstacles, but they all pretty much use the same quad type (450s). The quad I need has to serve many purposes (in my case anyway), so there wasn't and still isn't a good solution out there other than doing mods to some baseline quad (i.e., Raptor was the second choice). And lucky for me I enjoy wasting my money...in fact you should see all the money I've wasted on my Can-Am X3....and I just drive the wife around in it.
