YZ 360 Aluminum Frame

[bad72ss]

I would like to call and talk to you about your bike. I'm building a Yz360af . I'm using an 05 Yz 250 for the build . You can't put a stock 250 cylinder back on the bike . The 360 has a long rod . Send me your phone number chevelleracer@AOL.com . I'm dieing to hear how it runs .

That looks awesome. I wonder how that engine compares to KTM's old 380. Does anyone have experience with the two?
The benefit of this one is the modern suspension and chassis.

That looks awesome!

I want someone to make a AF conversion with the yz450 frame tho......

I wonder if it would even work though. Isn't it designed for the backwards cylinder configuration?

I am biased and I haven't ridden the KTM but I can say the Ohlins 360 in my bike definitely has a lot of torque.  The power hits early and winds up nicely and I am getting used to it.  I will be doing some jetting and ignition changes to get the curve I am after.  I have been riding it now for a few months and am pretty happy with it and it is easily my favorite YZ and favorite two stroke.

On a different note I spotted a 1999 YZ250 on craigslist that was being parted out and snapped it up today.  It has a crack in the cylinder near the exhaust bridge but some work and TLC and this bike should be great again.  The guy even threw in a gasket set, new wiseco piston kit and swingarm bearing kit.  I won't even say the price because it was a steal lol.  I hate to see a two stroke die like that.  They deserve to be restored and ridden and not parted out.  In the next couple months I am going to post so pictures of the 99 and my 360 and do some side by side shots because it should be cool.

Thanks to the freaky winter we are having I was able to ride on Superbowl Sunday.  Best way to spend the day ever.

  Same here, the ground was even thawed out in the sun for me, normally I would be riding in about 2 feet of snow this time of year...

Can't complain about that. I'm going to do some more riding tomorrow and the next day and...

Same here    Except knowing New England, its going to snow through march 

[SMPDaddy]

I know it will do that here.  There is a snow forecast for Tuesday and soon enough there will be a foot of snow again and some ice but until then I am going to ride!

[cnrcpla]

Do you live on the east coast? Because I know exactly what your talking about...

[SMPDaddy]

I used to live in NY but now I am in Michigan but the crazy weather is the same here.

[cnrcpla]

Yeah, I bet, you guys get all that crazy lake effect stuff. I'm hoping to go to Michigan this summer for the Silver Lake sand dunes... Should be a blast 

[SMPDaddy]

If you do, let know and I may head up there too.  I am always looking for an excuse to ride somewhere 

[SMPDaddy]

Ahhh.  A strange 70 degree March day in Michigan and my bike got a down to the frame cleaning and new rubber.  Can't wait to ride this weekend and start building the track in my field.
