bout how fast do you think it will go with the big three? also who makes some good but inexpensive nerfs

Stock I've seen anywhere from 72-85 MPH. Look for some used nerfs, the guys at predatorowners are really good sellers. I bought and sold hundreds of used parts and never had a problem.

are the 06-07 bodies the same because it only tells if it will fit the 06's
but overall great find. i would definately be getting some of those for it
and i just realized they have heel gaurds too

yes, all the years are the same for mostly everything. The 03 had yamaha rear bolt pattern hubs and wheels, and the swingarm is an inch longer.

so i would just need a air filter and not the whole intake kit. i found the whole intake pro flow kit for 89 dollars

blip the throttle slightly at top of jump to keep front wheels up a bit. Use your body, throttle, and brakes to adjust attitude in the air.

blip the throttle slightly at top of jump to keep front wheels up a bit. Use your body, throttle, and brakes to adjust attitude in the air.

Dont blip that could get you in trouble. I just hold the throttle steady to get a feel of how the jump wants to through you.

I went to a MX track saturday, damn that fun shit!! MX track cut into a natural rock quarry. Some of the jumps could be classified as a hill climbs!!

I hold it steady, then give a tiny little blip, my bike likes to go nose down on it's own. Not a giant amount of throttle, just slightly. Enough to maintain a level flight or slightly nose up. Depends on the jump. THere are some where I ride that are pretty hairy, and you don't want any throttle, unless you like sittin in the mud. :rofl:

If you slow your rebound on your rear shock a bit you would be able to just hold a steady throttle. Your rear shock is returning to normal to fast, thus kicking it to high in the air.
