First Race on the 450

[Tron379]

first race on the 450 yesterday

its winter here so we race on the ice

just stepped up from a 250f

i can not believe the power, barely gave up anything to the cr500 corner to corner, however the green bike turned alot better, so in the end gold was mine

pretty pumped for the summer now

heres a few pics

That looks like fun, and really cold too.

Whats the stuff on the radiators for?

Looks like a shield to allow the engine to heat up quicker and also to hold some heat as well? Just a guess.........

What kind of tires did you have on??

[Tron379]

i run a studded and profiled pirelli lagunacross on the rear

on the front we use just about any tire, intermediate terrain usually

the rear tire does all the work on the ice in reality

both tires are prestudded and profiled from a company in quebec

[Tron379]

as for the cover on the one rad..

thats just to keep a bit of heat in the motor

with no thermostat on the bike it runs really cold without one, especially on the big tracks

[TRIPLE NICKEL]

Are tire guards required in the races you enter?

[Boyerracing343]

That looks like alot of fun. I want to try it.

Wow, that looks like a lot of fun. Ive always wanted to stud up my tires and go out on the ice.
