Crazy Coops KX450 BUILD

[bendn]

Hey Guys
I'm really excited for this project we are working on at our store and I thought what better place then snowest to showcase it for you and get your opinions and suggestions on our bike. I've been in the snowbike industry for 6 years, originally selling Timbersleds, then Yeti and now camso. Ive built a ton of bikes from low budget builds to a pair of snowbikes totalling $45,000 each. I was lucky enough to see Jamie Gen 1 yeti kit progress up until the point of the camso buy out. Yeti was our local brand here in Edmonton and it was a treat to watch him start as an enthusiast and grow his company to one of the biggest snowbike companies in the business. I have seen lots watching this industry grow year after year and now with Xgames picking up the sport its seems to have exploded! I can't wait to see what happens in the next 5 years as major manufacture pick this up sport up and bring it to the next level.

If you like what you see here please come check out our new shop Coopers Motorsports @ 5415 Calgary Trail in Edmonton or at the Edmonton motorcycle show the bike will be on display for everyone to see.

We are building this bike for several purposes, snowbike, ice racing bike and motocross bike.

So what we are working with is a 2018 KX450F, we hooked up with a few companies that really helped make this build possible and I want to quickly thank them for the support they provided to us.

Going back on tommroow! Will do a full walk around on what we did to this bike soon.

What needed heating up from the truck exhaust?

Why did you choose a kawi of all makes?? No one runs kawi or Suzuki anymore

What’s with the funnel web filter/sponge type and not a pod with a snow screen over it?

Did you install a trailtech voyager?

The exhaust from the truck helps warm the oil a bit so it’s easyer to start.kawis are kick obviously so that’s a trick I learnt a long time ago to help get them started in cold mornings.

Reason why I picked a Kawi is im working st a kawasaki dealer so I should probably be riding green. I understand it’s a bit more of a challenge compaired to a orange bike but that’s just a small hurdle. Rekluse helps so you arnt stalling and kicking.

We use funnel web filters for racing snowcross. Run them dry and they work great. In the mountains I run a c3 intake with no foam filter. Funnel web makes great filters and they are one of our sponsors for this project.

No voyager. Ive uses them before. Might run the new voyager pro once they have it in production.
