well, after finally getting a subframe, and some birthday gifts, i put the mtx through another nip tuck session with my wrenchin partner grapeape yesterday.
with the new subframe installed while we were outwest (big thanks to michelle at oregon trail yamaha, you cannot imagine how greatful i am for your insight and help) we installed, ulmers oilite bushings in the timber sled front end, ulmers air filter kit, some new graphics from arcticFX (40th anniversary clones in blue instead of the oem red), new powerclaw track (thanks again to freeagent), aligned the track and front end to one another, cleaned her up, and decided to take a few pics and ride it up the street for her maiden voyage.
throttle response is crisp from what i gathered in the few hundred feet i rode it. the new power commander (from mtdream, thank you sir!) with ulmer maps should really wake her up. with the clutching exhaust, filters and the commander she should rip. the ulmers know their stuff. and i love the customer service we recieve from them. allen really helped my wife get me some nice goodies for my birthday without me knowing. (THANKS AL!)
nice to see the a arms, and shocks all sitting inline with one another for the first time since i have owned the sled. if the last ride was any indication on how the sled rides, i should be very happy our next trip with the suspension, subframe and track upgrades.
hope you enjoy the pics, and update. ski
