Honda 400EX Motocross Racer Project Part 3 The Test Quad Builder Episode 5
updated
Ron Elmore, owner of Rocket Ron Racing out of Attica Indiana, has been racing, building race quads and tuning ATV suspension since the 1980s. They specialize in revalving and setting up OEM shocks, We asked Ron if he could help us get the most out of our Raptor’s OEM shocks. A few weeks after sending our shocks off they were back in our possession revalved, resprung and restyled.
For our setup Ron recommended we utilize a Hess linkage. Rocket Ron often recommends a Hess linkage. The Hess link lowers the rear of the quad around an inch and reduces the ramp up in firmness throughout the stroke allowing you to more easily access full travel with less mid-stroke harshness.
With Rocket Ron's revelved Raptor 700R shocks and Hess linkage, If we lived out west we wouldn’t hesitate to install a kill switch and take our Raptor to a Worcs race or even try a local motocross race, the shocks are certainly up to it. If you’re interested in cross country racing or simply improving your Raptors handling and suspension performance while maintaining a narrower width, Rocket Ron can certainly help you out as well.

For the first press ride of the new Outlanders, Can-Am flew us out to the BMF ranch in Edgewood New Mexico, owned by Can-Am SXS Racer and one of the winningest fighters in UFC history Donald Cowboy Cerrone.
From the $5,999 2wd 500 through the $9,799 Outlander XT 700, the $10,199 X MR 700 and the Pro HD lineup, based on our first experience, Can-Am has delivered astounding value for the money with the new mid-bore Outlander lineup.
Bottom line, Can-Am is delivering newly designed, brand new, 2023 Outlanders at prices that reflect the competition from a few years ago when things were more affordable. And that is a win.

Nearly every discernable specification that matters is class leading with the new Outlander 500 and 700 and Outlander Pro HD5 and HD7 with the exception of their retail prices, which look like they came from 5 or more years ago. Compared to the departing Outlander 450 and 570, the new 500 and 700 certainly look to deliver even more ATV for the money, but is more always better? We hope to find out in the near future so subscribe for more.
For now we'll take a look at what the new Outlander 700 and 500 have to offer and see how they stack up against the specifications of the Honda Rancher, Kodiak 450, King Quad 750, Grizzly 700, Sportsman 570 and others.

Widening the rear there are a few options, offset wheels, wheel spacers, offset hubs and aftermarket axles. Options for widening the front include offset wheels, wheel spacers, widening kits and extended A-Arms.
There are some affordable ways to add some additional width and stability to your ATV. Before you start spending money on upgrades two or three times like we did in our early years, consider how large and powerful your machine is, what type of riding you do, how hard you want to ride as you progress and whether you’re riding a machine you plan on owning for a long time. This will help you buy what’s best for your needs the first time out.

HMF’s Titan series exhausts are available in full systems from the header back, or as a slip-on system like the one we’ve been using. The Titan series is constructed of corrosion resistant stainless steel, utilizing a single 14” stainless steel silencer. The Titan’s silencer core and combination steel wool with a glass pillow wool packing greatly reduces the frequency at which the silencer needs repacking
Choosing the Titan QS, we went with maximum power gains without much added sound output, which we feel good about. Although, our decision to use the less expensive and easier to install slip- on version could have left a little more horsepower on the table, we still enjoyed more power out of the Renegade 1000R, focused in the area of the power curve where the rider can best make use of it.
With only complements on the deep throaty sound of the Titan QS exhaust, you’ll at least retain the appearance of sensibility as you make your Rotax even more insanely fun to ride.

Compared to their full size 4x4s of old, the Alterra 600 is leaps and bounds better than anything we’ve experienced from Arctic Cat previously. Its performance is definitely at home and competitive with the other machines in the 500cc-600cc 4x4 segment. Big low-end power, the ability to take advantage off its IRS design while retaining a stable feeling ride make the Alterra 600 a unique machine we enjoyed riding.
Experiencing the XT, Black Hills and Mud Pro we came away impressed with Arctic Cats numerous, well thought out options. The Mud Pro is similar to the Yamaha Grizzly 700 XTR, a trail worthy, mud tire equipped 4x4. However, the Mud Pro possesses true mud ATV specific capabilities and features for $800 less than the Grizzly.
The Black Hills Edition could be a great choice for the person who typically rides rocky eroded SXS trails thanks to its larger tires and added ground clearance. It retains the length and width of a typical 4x4 ATV and costs $6,299 less than the Polaris Sportsman S or Scrambler S, renowned for their rough trail capability and out of reach retail prices.
As typical all around trail riders ourselves, we came away most impressed with the nearly base model Alterra 600 XT. The smaller 25” tires of the base model and XT yield the best handling on smooth to moderate trail conditions along with the most responsive feeling engine performance. We could easily see Arctic Cat filling the need for an affordable sport 4x4 with the Alterra 600 platform.
We guess the takeaway is this, Arctic Cat has targeted the most popular segment in ATVing with a number of uniquely specked models offering something for every type of 4x4 rider and overall performance that should be taken seriously. .

Rid of restrictions, free flowing and fine-tuned Yamaha’s YFZ450R delivers an easily detectable increase in performance and fun. Working with well-respected aftermarket company’s products that admittedly play well together, we we’re confident in running the Fuel Customs intake, Dasas Racing exhaust and PEP reflashed ECU together and are very impressed with the results.

In January of 2022, Polaris announced that the Scrambler S would be rejoining their ATV lineup, including its high-end Walker Evans shocks along with Polaris’ brand new Multi-Select electric power steering, and a bold new look for 2022 that’s carried over to 2023.
For 2022 and 2023, Polaris made the Scrambler S even better. While it’s not the ideal machine for those who typically ride 50 inch trails, or those who race on tight cross country courses. The Scrambler S is for those who want the ability to go faster, jump farther, pound whoops with the dirt bikes or conquer tougher terrain left over by side-by-sides. There’s nothing else like the Scrambler S and it is one heck of a fun ATV to ride.

The included Caster Bracket eliminate the YFZ450R’s caster increase with their Caster Bracket that raises the rear of the A-Arm making it more in line with the angle of the lower Arms. Teixeira tells us that you can’t make the upper and lower A-Arms perfectly parallel with the lowers. For this reason, Teixeira Tech’s Caster Bracket slightly overshoots parallel, which causes caster to slightly decrease as the front end compresses. This allows the machine to turn in slightly quicker with less effort and bump feedback through the bars.
Having ridden them, we’d go as far as to say that Teixeira Tech’s CXC A-Arms are a must have upgrade for any YFZ450R owner looking to maximize performance for the least amount of money. For many of us, the YFZ450R’s 48.5” width and 9.8” of front suspension travel is plenty. Teixeira Tech’s CXC upper arms undoubtedly improve handling and offer all the adjustment of a full set of aftermarket A-Arms at a fraction of the price. Best of all, since they don’t change any leverage ratios on the front end they don’t require you to spend any added money on your shocks until you’re ready to take that next step.
A good steering stabilizer is a mandatory handling upgrade for any sport ATV owner. As is a set of A-Arms with Teixeira Tech’s Castor Bracket if you happen to own a YFZ450R.

The horsepower leading full-size Outlander and Renegade lineup was last significantly updated in 2019 with wider track widths, updated suspension, increased horsepower and more. For 2023 both the full size Renegade, Outlander and Outlander Max models received new styling with 4 LED headlights. Along with redesigned front fascia on both lines, the Renegade features a removable front grill for easier radiator cleaning.
In addition to their selectable, three mode electric power steering and throttle modes, intelligent engine braking has been added for 2023, designed to allow you to select the level of braking that best fits your riding style. It provides 3 levels of engine braking to choose from on the full size machines. The system works by cutting the throttle more or less abruptly effecting how smoothly or abruptly engine braking engages.
For young riders, Can-Am completely revamped their youth ATV lineup for 2023! Gone are the DS models, replaced by a brand new Renegade line, taking styling cues from the adult size Renegade models. Both the 70 and 110 feature single A-Arm front suspension with the rear suspension comprised of a swingarm and solid rear axle out back. Suspension travel appears competitive on both models
For aggressive racer types Can-Am is offering the Renegade 110 X-XC. It’s upgraded from the factory with a two-inch wider stance, dual-A-Arm front suspension with piggyback reservoir equipped gas charged shocks, handguards and race oriented coloration.

A new set of tires can do a lot to restore the performance of an ATV. Whether you’re on your first tire change out or you’re looking for a good set of tires at a price that won’t exceed the value of your machine, the Halberd’s HU02 tires can get you down the trail without breaking the bank.
While non directional tires can last longer due to the fact that they can be rotated and run in either direction to extend life, we like that these tires offer the benefits of a directional tread with a rubber compound that seems built to last at a price that’s hard to beat.

The YFZ450R is a race ATV, all-be-it a corked up race ATV. It’s suitable for racing or trail riding, although like most other 450s no longer with us, both you and the YFZR will be happier if you have the skill set and desire to open the machine up a bit and let it rip.
As OEM offerings go, the YFZ450R is solely responsible for keeping sport ATV racing alive. Fortunately compared to the other 450s no longer around, the Yamaha YFZ450R is arguably the best there was and we proved that in our 2010 450 Motocross Shootout. With that in mind, if we’re only fortunate enough to have one high performance ATV on the market in 2022, we’re glad it’s the Yamaha YFZ450R.

For 2022, all Polaris Sportsman models equipped with electric power steering now feature Polaris’ Multi Select electronic power steering with three modes of assistance from which to choose. The Ride Command edition and Ultimate Trail versions also have three selectable throttle modes.
LED lighting is used at both ends on the Trail, Ultimate Trail, and Ride Command Editions. High and low beam lights are mounted up front with an additional high beam light pod that turns with the handlebars. New LED accent lights are found on both models.
If you’re considering the high-end, McPherson Strut-equipped 570 Premium, you’d be crazy not to spend $700 more and get the dual A-Arm front suspension, upgraded lighting, and factory installed winch on the 570 Trail.
If you tend to ride in smaller ride parks and typically ride 4x4s like sport quads, you’ll currently pay $1,800 more for the Ride Command edition than the Trail edition. Unlike Polaris’ RZR, Ranger, and General side-by-side models, Ride Command isn’t inside a roll cage. One good tip over could easily cost you a couple grand or more in repairs. Of course, for long distance rides at a cruising or touring pace, accidents are far less likely.
For exploring vast trail systems with friends or braving the great outdoors alone is where the capabilities of Ride Command really shine. Add in the ample performance and efficiency of the Pro Star 570 engine, the stable, plush ride we’ve come to love Polaris for, plenty of on-board storage and the Sportsman 570 Ride Command Edition has everything needed for long days and big ride adventures.

While the Sportsman S returned to Polaris lineup with the release of the other 2022 ATV models last year, we were a little sad that the Scrambler S was missing from the lineup. Especially considering Polaris had switched from Premium, reservoir equipped Walker Evans shocks on the Sportsman S to basic five-way preload adjustable shocks for the 2022 model year. In January of 2022 Polaris announced that the Scrambler S would be rejoining Polaris’ ATV lineup including its high-end Walker Evans shocks plus Polaris’ brand new Multi-Select electric power steering, and a bold new look for 2022.
With mixed feelings among our riders regarding the Scrambler’s power steering on the 2020 and 2021 models we were thrilled to the opportunity to throw a leg over the new updated version of Polaris ultimate thrill ride.
Our local Polaris dealer Midwest Polaris near Cincinnati Ohio is under new enthusiastic ownership. They were cool enough to house our Scrambler prior to testing and provide us with a rundown on what’s hot and what’s new with the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S for 2022.

Long time Pro GNCC Racer and former Factory KTM rider Adam McGill is the man responsible for much of the testing and developing of Obor’s Advent line of sport ATV tires. Used by select pro cross-country racers in 2019, the Obor Advent, Advent S and Advent MX tires were released to the public in 2020. With the Advent MX coming in smaller motocross specific sizes, Obor’s Advent and Advent S are their tires of choice for trail riding or cross country racing.
Based on our extensive testing experience Obor reached out asking if we could provide you with our opinion on how a set of their Advent tires perform. We figured with the success they’re having in racing, they’re certainly worth trying out.
As a tire we received with a mixture of skepticism and enthusiasm by our staff, the bad news is that the other premium tire brands have a new competitor that should be taken pretty seriously. The good news for enthusiasts is that Obor Advent tires perform well in varying trail conditions. A reasonable retail price and long wear life also make them a great value. Whether we’re simply riding or racing your sport quad the Obor Advent is already a proven winner if you ask us.

Obor Advent Sport ATV Tire Test Review
youtu.be/rCTSPX51ogg
We came away feeling better about piping the Outlander 1000R than we originally expected. We made more power that we could feel, and our quad ran cooler which will translate into longer life.
Choosing the Titan Quiet, we went with maximum power gains with minimal additional sound output. While our choice to use the less expensive slip-on version could have left a little more horsepower on the table, we still enjoyed more power out of the Outlander 1000R focused in the area of the power curve where the rider can best make use of it.
With only complements on the deep throaty sound of the Titan QS, you’ll at least retain the appearance of sensibility as you make your Rotax even more insanely fun to ride. If you want to throw sensibility out the window and experience even greater gains than us, HMF has you covered there as well.

Choosing between these machines could be tough. We know we’d be leaving a lot of capability on the table if we went with the Renegade, because the Outlander is an ideal tool for working, hunting, and camping. But how much performance would we leave on the table if we didn’t choose the Renegade and are there any other important differences we might not be considering.
Can-Am tells us they share identically tuned 91 HP Rotax 1000R engines with identical clutching, but we still expected the Renegade to pull out in front based on it’s lighter weight and the fact that it’s a friggen Renegade.
Suspension travel is also identical on the Outlander 1000 and Renegade 1000 with 9.2” up front and 9.9” out back. Fox Podium 1.5 shocks are used on both machines. The Renegade’s Podium RC2 shocks feature all the external adjustments you’d expect from high-end race shocks. The Outlander’s Podium QS3 shocks feature threaded spring preload along with simple intuitive 3-way compression damping settings. Power steering settings are slightly different with the two machines primarily for their different tire sizes.
Identical hydraulic disc brakes stop both machines and do a pretty good job of it too considering our rider and machine combos are nearly a half a ton of Rotax propelled mass.
As we finished our laps and our ride for the day it was pretty obvious to both of us what our decision would be if we were choosing between these machines. We’d opt for the greater utility of the Outlander in XT-P trim and sleep peacefully knowing we weren’t giving up much performance.
But if you're still having trouble deciding between the two keep in mind that Can-Am’s premium options are customizable, and the perfect blend of performance and utility for you could be the Outlander in X-XC trim.

The Outlaw 70 EFI is an ATV that leaves riders more room to grow into than the 50 it replaces, in both size and overall performance. This should keep the 70’s fun factor up for a longer period of time before its time to step it up to the Outlaw 110. With more displacement, fuel injection, disc brakes all around, larger tires and wheels, and an overall larger machine, Polaris has certainly packed a lot of features into the Outlaw 70 EFI for only $100 more than the Outlaw 50. However it seems that some and attention to detail was sacrificed to reach its $2,349 price point.
On the bright side, fuel injection makes the engine run flawlessly, the suspension could be best in class, its stable, has good tires, It stops well, is pretty comfortable, and splash protection isn’t bad either. For us the bottom line is this, while it’s not perfect, with so much going for it Polaris Outlaw 70 should have no problems putting smiles on the faces of up and coming riders for years to come.

We’ve had the 2021 Honda Foreman Rubicon 520 for quite a awhile now, and to be perfectly honest with you we’ve come to appreciate this machine more and more over time. Our expectations for this machine, after the number of high-performance tests we’ve done over the last two years we’re certainly tempered, and rightfully so. It’s not the over powered performance-oriented machines that are offered by other manufacturers. But having the Rubicon around for so long gave us the opportunity to see exactly why so many enthusiasts ride red their entire lives.
Any machine will break when subject to the right amount of abuse, but Honda tends focus on quality components, attention to detail, and fit and finish that leads to extended lifespans. The Rubicon is the ideal machine for the hardcore explorer, work, or even as a low maintenance mud machine because of the advantages of the Honda Transmissions over the commonly used CVTs. There are some sacrifices in performance compared with the competition, but that didn’t prevent us from having a blast on the Rubicon.

Both options come in either Sage Green like our test machine or Zenith Blue for the same price. Polaris also has utility packages available for the for the non-EPS 450 H.O. that aren’t available as packages for the EPS version, but there are a lot of options in factory accessories for both models.
The ride is distinctly plush as we’ve come to expect from Polaris and for an entry level machine, the 450 h.o. retains a lot of the quality look and feel of Polaris’s more premium options.
The ride is distinctly plush as we’ve come to expect from Polaris and for an entry level machine, the 450 h.o. retains a lot of the quality look and feel of Polaris’s more premium options. Intuitive and easy operation is what Polaris was going for with their 450 and 570 class lineups and we feel they’ve accomplished that goal with the Sportsman 450 EPS. The clutch and shift lever operates smoothly giving the Sportsman a refined feeling compared to some of its competition. The long shift lever that we’ve considered awkward in the past, makes for easy control of gear selection especially for frequent shifting or while plowing or working in tight areas, and modest but usable power make it an ideal choice as a budget friendly tool or a capable trail explorer.

atvondemand.com/yamaha-raptor-700r-big-3-engine-upgrades-barkers-exhaust-fuel-customs-intake-and-dynojet-pc5-test
After widening our Raptor 700R to 50 inches wide a couple years back with our Raptor 700RR Project, we realized that our Raptor was now ready for a substantial horsepower increase. Starting with Fuel Customs, a company known for making big horsepower gains with their intakes and air filter combinations, recommended that we run a Barker's Performance dual exhaust to match their intakes quest to increase overrev while carrying the Raptor's incredible torque curve farther. We paired the Fuel Custom's intake and Barker's Performance exhaust with a Dynojet Power Commander V fuel and ignition tuner to match the increase airflow of the intake and exhaust with added fuel. We also installed a Dynojet Autotune for creating new fuel maps for our future engine upgrades. The result was an added 11-13 horsepower, a broader power and torque curve, and a huge boost in fun factor for our Raptor's engine. We haven't been this impressed with an intake, exhaust, and air/fuel ratio upgrade on a sport ATV since we installed our first set of pipes on a Yamaha Banshee back in the 1990s. If you haven't ridden a Raptor with the Big-3 engine upgrades, you have no idea how fun the Raptor really is.

Race Tech, Gold Valve Conversion Kits gave the shocks the springs and valving needed to lower the machine while remaining plush over small and big hits. A Precision Racing Steering stabilizer further improved stability. MotoWorks might be gone but there are still aftermarket exhaust companies out there that can help you get maximum power out of the DS450.
