Here's a before pic....no after pic cause its barely dusty...lol
To darn hot to ride for long...

wow looks really good. did you bring it somewhere to ride it? if so where? are you east in ohio? or south?

I live between Cincinnati and Dayton, I took it to maple knolls farm near Houston woods, what area are you in? Probably going to gasping acres on Saturday morning....gonna be my last ride of vacation than parking it for awhile to catch up on maintenance ....lol

do you have to pay? or are all these places free? mentor, how far is that?

Maple knolls farm is 10 for all day per rider.....open everyday but Christmas .....its in Oxford Ohio across the street from Houston woods....haspin is in laural Indiana, 35 all day and you can camp there....if your close to me I can take you to either one...just let me know

Haspin Acres is a fun place to play and do some good slow technical riding. The dirt drag strip is fun too, but see if you can climb the devils backbone for some good rocky climbing. The only bad thing is they let people drink so you have to watch for drunk, toothless, hillbilly four wheelers . Go back between the pond and the MX track and there are some great trails. Have fun

Nice RM !!
I have a '01 that I've done up for the woods.
Here's the list;
FMF Gnarly (had a dented up Fatty on it when I got it, both pipes run exactly the same, no difference. Went with the Gnarly for the thicker steel.)
13/50 gears.
Boyeson reeds.
Steahly 11oz FWW (rode it for a month without FWW then installed it. Couldn't believe the difference!!  No loss of power, just a lot more useable, really helped on short run at hill climbs)
Skid plate.
Bridgestone M403/404 tires.
Barkbusters (used them once already, likely saved me a trip to the ER)
Gripper seat cover.
KX250 clutch steels (told it would help out on power to rear wheel, but didn't notice anything except eating up stock basket. A Wiseco basket will go in over the winter)

I ride with two others on 4-stroke 400 & 450. They have tried hard to get me to drink the 4-stroke Kool-aid as we switch bikes often. (FWIW...I prefer the YZ400F over the KX450F) I was raised on 2-strokes and try not to embarass them too much when I can. Mostly I just end up waiting for them at the road crossings.

Thanks & Good riding.

Bit of an update.....
Clutch is still very touchy when bikes cold or been sitting 15-20 minutes...once it warms up it seems to work fine, also changing oil after every couple by rides and no metal so gonna hold off on clutch....
Been playing with main and pilot jets....lol
Seems to be much crisper from idle, and not fouling plugs at all since I
went from a 48 to a 44 pilot..lol
should have it out later today and update some more on how it does...

did you try ATF for a transmission/clutch lubricant?

I use Honda I believe its 80w...whatever was in it when I bought it made it touchy all the time.....the Honda oil seems to warm up and work great
