Hello Mayohsauce, I ran a cheetah 421 set up for years and never had any issues. I moved to the 485 when a couple of buddies decided to run the 485 and i sold the 421 to another buddy. Knock on wood, years later still no issues with any of ours. Fearnot is correct. You will want to get in touch with McDermott racing. The guys name is Harry and he's the one that worked these engines while with trinity and like fearnot said he got away from trinity and started McDermott racing. He is a nice guy and very knowledgeable.

My bad, Does it matter? A broken spindle is a broken spindle

Hey all, This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know why the two bolts that fasten the steering knuckle portion of the spindle are welded? I've got a broken weld on one of the bolts and was wondering if they absolutely need to have the bead of weld on there. Thread lock and/or a lock washer wouldn't be sufficient enough.

I'm looking for a +2 chromoly steering stem with anti vibe clamp. Any suggestions? How much difference is there between Lonestar and Alba? The Alba is around $100 cheaper.

Innova Sand Gear ATV Tires I was thinking about getting these. Anybody ever use these?

There was a few shee's there. There were only 4 quads competeing. One of the shee's had a trex 517. I think he was having trouble with his engine. I'm not exactly sure what happen. One of the other quads had a street bike engine and he was doing pretty good.

Also, I'm running a 485 P/V Cheetah with stock swing arm.

I've been getting into hill climbing and the other week I went to Monson MA. I ran my regular trail set up with Holeshot GNCC's. I learned real quick that the set up, especially the tires were not cutting it. It was a really sandy hill and towards the end of the day the hill dryed up and got really loose. I'm looking for a sand tire set up. The thing is, and I'm not entirely sure if it was just this hill, but they only allowed paddle tires with a break in the paddle, which I don't quite understand. I'd imagine what it sounds like. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? Brand, type, size, etc.

I've always thought they worked good. I think they sound pretty good too. I'm running them on a 485 p/v now and I don't do much more then trail riding, and they seem to do well in the low and mid range area. I'm going to try a buddies set of shear inframes maybe in a week or so and if possible my other buddies FMF Fatty's.

I've got a buddy with the same engine set up except he's running Mikuni 36mm carbs and the thing runs great. I tried the carbs out on mine and hit a straight stretch of road and it seems to pull more in the top end where it wasn't before. I was thinking the pipes could have something to do with it too. I was just reading in another post that cheetah domes are trouble. Why is that

When I had my 421 p/v, I was running 152 (Main) and 50 (pilot). I believe a CEL needle. Clip position #3. I had trinity stage 4 exhaust, 35mm pwk's, Ran great.

Fuck ur buddy, lol

I believe they are, but I will be checking just to make sure.

I've got a 485 cheetah with power valves. Trintiy state 4 exhaust. Keihin PWK 35mm carbs. 4 degree timeing advance. 93 octane pump gas @ 32:1. NGK BR8ES Spark plugs @ 0.030" gap. At WOT the top end power seems to level out pretty quick. It almost seems as if I'm draining the bowls, but could that be? Could the carbs be too small. The low and mid power are there all the way. It's just the top that's giving me trouble. For years before the 485 I was running a cheetah 421 with the same pipes and carbs. I never had this problem with the 421. Its top end seemed to never level out. The RPM's just kept climbing and climbing. The only thing that I changed was the jetting. Rite now I'm at a 160 for the main and 45 for the air. The needle clip position is in position #3. The plugs are a little darker then they should be, not too bad, but I've got a little more tuning to do. Any suggestions? Anybody out there running a cheetah 485, what is your set up like?

I don't think that alba sells that kit anymore. I know I seen one on ebay a couple of months ago.
