AZOP Racing TRX450R

Thunder on the Beach

The AZOP Rocky Point; Thunder on the Beach was a great experience. It was the first race for the TRX450R but unfortunately, we did not finish.
The front sprocket let go at the end of the first lap. The washer that holds it on to the counter shaft was cracked and bent so the sprocket walked out and striped the splines off of the counter shaft.
Now the motor and case are at Racers Edge getting rebuilt.

The guys at Racers Edge will be installing a new counter shaft and shift rod in the case along with a new crank, rod, piston and valves.

I’ll be heading down to their shop next week to put the bike back together so they can tune it.  In the meantime, I have to install a new rear sprocket (It was about to go too) and I’m going to swap the Motion Pro Twist Throttle for a Moose Thumb Throttle.  I just don’t have enough control with the twist throttle.

There should be plenty of time to get it all back together before the Thunder Rock Ranch race on May 12.  If not, the trx400ex is ready to go too.
