Now that the YFZ is running again (albeit with clutch issues) and the Honda’s oil reservoir tank was tig’d back together Ian and I have been out to the track every weekend we can get free. This last session I completely cleared the first jump and landed on the flat part, I love my quad! Ian is getting much better through the corners even though he has a power and cornering disadvantage on the smaller/narrower 400ex. The YFZ’s rear brake continues not to work, so I can’t use it to my advantage in the corners, although my quad is wider. With the new exhaust and clutch the YFZ hauls ass!

Here are some videos of Ian and I on the track.

Sexy with the new exhaust

These happened a couple weeks back, but here are the photo albums for TEFF (Texas Electric Flight Festival) here in Austin, and the Houston ProBro. Got some excellent photos!

The YFZ is running and has started on the break-in. Wanted to post a little timeline of what has happened to the engine since I started the rebuild 3 months ago.

After the first break in run Ian and I went on track for some fun, here is the video of last weekend’s track day on both quads.

Found the metal shavings

End of a good day
