Supermoto Stunt Bike Build Pics

So I'm finally gonna post some pics of my Supermoto Stunt Bike build. It's been a long road.
When I got it back in January of 2007, it was a pretty clapped out 2002 YZF 426 moto-x bike. I got a good deal on it and at the time there weren't any 4 strokes to be found in my area for sale, so I jumped on it. Many long hours and money went into building this thing, but stunting a Supermoto was more comfortable to me than a crotch rocket coming from a moto-x background, so it has all been worth it. It's still not totally completed, but when your building a bike, when are they ever really done! lol
Enjoy.

Thanks Kaiks, but I don't see anything for the 2002 YZF426. I think I'm goona try the combo listed above. I do appreciate your tips tho. Your the one who lead me to Vortex to build my sprocket!

Yea the rekluse is for the 250f's and the 450 master cylinders. It won't work on the 426. Besides that, to get just eh adapter from rekluse is super expensive

I just bought a 2007 CBR 600RR rear master for $25.00. Got a line, GPTech adapter & the Brembo non radial master with banjos & washers all for $145.00 so I'll give it all a shot. I prolly won't like the master, but it's something to start with & I can always upgrade & sell the Brembo later. Can't wait to start stopping. lol
-Jay Gross :thumbup:
The only problem with the non radial types is that they get in the way of the lever BAD if they don't have a remote reservoir..... we have run into that problem. Then your only option is to run like the GPTech stuntcap.... it's not bad but you need to shim the lever down before it gets comfortable

why not use the clutch master off a KTM?


BTW, nice bike - you went one step further than i did... all min is is a bolt-on 12 bar that doesnt stick out real far, and is very narrow.


you already know how to slow wheelie or you going to learn on this bike?

I never could on a street bike. I hold out a 2 mile sit down on my ZX10 once, and tons of shorter stuff but never could use a rear brake on a big bike.

a few weeks of riding the YZ on teh street and all of a sudden the rear brake started working for me, and i was able to steer around corners all in the same night.

I gave it up for a year and got back on recently (had to rebuild the motor, but not from stunting) and finally scraped the 12 bar, but DAMN its a long ways back.





Unfortunately, i really like to race supermoto and ride trails, and the YZ did neither very well goign from one to the other, so its sold, and two KTM 450's replace it.

Eventually the '07 450 SMR will get a quick connect 12 bar and some other goodies... its just too pretty to cut into right now.

Thanks. I built this bike to learn. I race moto-x for years & I could wheelie & stoppie awesome on 2 smokes, & I had a couple of rockets that I could do some nice stuff on too, but it's gonna take me a little seat time to get decent on this. It's a nother monster. That's why we built it tough, as strong 12 o'clock bar & a hand brake set up. Passenger pegs are a huge plus too. I've been having so much fun building it & test riding, I can't wait until it's complete so I can kill myself on it. :lol: Rebuilding the brakes currntly, but it'll be totally done soon.

Are you going to put fans on it?
Probably. I have a lighting stator for it.
-Jay Gross :thumbup:
I am in the same boat... I wired up my bike so that instead of having a high beam when I flip the switch to HI it will cut the light and run straight power to the fan.... now I just had to suck it up and buy the damn fan. Finding one that is the right size is TOUGH...

I'm gonna try a computer fan. I hear that they work, so I'll give it a shot. If I can't get that set up to work, I'm using a CBR fan. Ryan used one off of a 929 or 954.
