Precision Powersports

Thanks for the support guys! And you are right, it is a shame any of us need to worry about these type of people. There have been a TON of people coming forward both through the forums and just in PMs telling me about this same type of experience with Dave. I have to believe at least half it deceit, and we will chalk the other half to selling way above his head. On one of the other sites he claims the picture of the crank is a crank that we have laying around so we can rip him off. First of all anyone who knows us knows better, and second of all I think it is funny that we just so happen to have a 16mm 132 rod triple crank with a bad end chillin on the bench. You know, just in case we need to deceive anyone. Lol What a clown. This guy needs to be banned or at the very least shunned from every aspect of this sport! Thanks again for your support!

Thanks guys, yeah I hope he makes good on this too. Up to now he has just blamed it on the original motor builder and says its his fault. No matter if it's Dave's fault or the original seller, this trade was between me and Dave and went bad. My bikes are due back to me. From there he can go after the original owner, or whatever it is he wants to do.

And for anyone trying to remember which bike this was, this is a picture of the bike he was selling on this site for the last few weeks, maybe you'll remember it.

Add to the mess, sprocket hub left loose, rolled the key and cracked the axle...

And last night Dave stated the picture of the crank end was just a generic picture and not his, so I will post the picture of the whole crank for clarity...

I just want to let everyone know of a deal I have going on with Dave, tripledracing/triple d's. I had a 4mm DM duner as well as a Yamaha YFZ duner for sale. Dave and I had both kicked around a trade for a bit(both of my bikes for his 16mm DM triple). So we make a deal and meet half way on Sunday. Here is what was listed that the triple had. * 16mm DM Triple * 11 Plate Clutch * Billet Tranny * 100" Lonestar Chassis * Perfect Shape, Needs nothing * Best Of Everything etc, etc, etc We took a quick glance at the triple, just long enough to make sure it had everything on it and BS for a bit, then hit the road. Mistake, we should have went over it with a fine tooth comb. During that time the only thing I noticed right off the bat was that it did not have one of the Mattoon 11 plate covers on it. Dave said oh, this was an Nmotion 11 plate set-up. I told him I had no idea Nmotion even had an 11 plate set-up. Dave said he had this thing apart to fix an air leak at the primary and he counted out 11 plates when it was apart. I took his word for it. I then noticed it had Mikuni carbs on it currently with stock bowls, and in the picture he was selling it with it had Lectrons with billet bowls. Dave said he was sorry but he had sold the Lectrons a long time ago because they were junk and that was an old picture. We get back to the shop and start taking a look at the bike, and notice that this really isn't a DM. It is a 78mm bore Cheetah, kinda odd. We call Calvin to confirm this and this in fact was cast before the DMs were released, very low numbers released to a few big builders as a test platform for the DM. I let Dave know and he says he will contact the previous owner. Get to the bearing support and go to take the side cover off. As we remove the bearing support, the bearing support nut comes off in the cover. Our best guess is someone had cross threaded it, then jammed the cover on. Of course something has to give if it is cross threaded and not straight, and it was the main shaft that gave. The piece of main shaft is still left cross treaded in the support nut right now as you can see in the picture. We take apart the clutch, and just as we had assumed, it is a 9 plate N Motion clutch set-up and not an 11 plate. We then get to the flywheel, take it off, get the crank out and as we are inspecting everything we notice the threads on the end of the crank are stretched. It looks as if someone must have torqued the nut with so much force from an impact that they stretched the threads. You can see in the picture it is stretched so bad that it has not only thinned that portion of the crank, but also changed the pitch of the threads. Weak point, and I have seen more than once where the end of the crank breaks off at the threads at the track. I originally made the trade to build this into a larger motor, hoping to save some green by getting a lot of the base parts, and sell the DM upper end, frame, etc. After putting some thought into it I decided I now need a main shaft on the tranny, replace the stator side of the crank, purchase the 11 plate this was supposed to have, etc not to mention the biggest problem - it was sold as a DM and in fact is not. I contacted Dave today, and told him I decided I wanted to just back out of this deal. I told him this motor was not what we had traded for. He responded with a statement saying he was told it was a DM from the guy he bought it from and he had been lied to. He said that he was also told it was an 11 plate when he bought it, and I should call the guy he bought it from and see what he would do. The other problems weren't there when he sold it to me he said. I responded. Really? So these issues were caused by what?…Driving home in a trailer?…Taking it apart? I stated that I would gladly reassemble this triple motor back exactly as it came here, and he give me both of my bikes back once again. Or, I could fix any issues it has as it was going together if he would like me to for only the cost of parts, no labor at all and then trade it back to him for both of my bikes. He then stated that he had already taken the YFZ apart, bought drag a arms, as well as an over-ride. I told him I will take the YFZ back in pieces just as it is, and if you cannot back out of your purchase on the arms or the tranny I will buy those as well so you are not out a penny. He then stated that he heard that I was shady, and screw a lot of people over. Really? You are going to go there? Anyone that knows me knows better. Either way, how does what is happening in this trade make ME shady anyway?? Maybe I'm just lost. The biggest thing here is it was sold as a DM, and it is not. Plain and simple. It should not be my job to contact any previous seller and hash it out with them. That would be his job if in fact there was truly an issue there. Dave should make good on this, give me back my two bikes, take his triple and do with it as he pleases. There is just too much wrong, and it is not as it was stated when it was sold, plain and simple. Maybe noone cares, and maybe you didn't even read down this far, lol, but I think this is something everyone needs to know about beings he is on these forums so much.

5600 shipped anywhere in the US...smoken deal. You couldnt buy these for anywhere close to this.

Thanks Jerid, we have a few new builds we are doing right now and this is too nice of a motor to be sitting on the shelf. Def a great price, would look good in your stable! Lol

I am selling one of my personal motors. This is not a complete motor, but will most every part needed for a Cougar. This motor was taken apart mid year to repair the PTO side of the crank and the motor was never reassembled. Motor has never been sprayed, and ran it's best of a .63 with me on it(240 lbs) on alchohol. Motor has more in it, esp if you put the spray to it. Cylinders have less than a year of run time on them, plating is still in very good shape. No damage at all to any part of this motor, just in need of a few parts & assembly. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask or send a PM. Included will be: (2) Ported Cougar Cylinders With Heads & Domes (Polished) - 85mm Bore (1) Set Ported Mattoon Spread Bore Cases (Polished) (1) Crank With TZs On Both Ends - Just freshened up at Twister (3) Wiseco Pistons W/ Rings Plus An Extra Set Of Rings (4) Wristpin Bearings (3) Pairs Of Head O Rings (4) Base Gaskets (1) Set Shearer Hand Coned Pipes $5750 Shipped

My bike is a 4mm Cheetah, running on gas. Going to Alky next year, but just was too happy on gas to switch. We left on Sunday just due to the drive we had ahead of us, I would have loved to race another day. Didn't get to dune much on the 450, wish we could have stayed.

We all had a great time down at LS this past weekend, it was a blast racing with all of you from BHQ. I appreciate the props on my bike, the motor is getting tore off as we speak and dropped into my drag chassis so this weekend should be interesting at our Nationals...pink is the new black... Hopefully we will run into some of you guys at upcoming events again, we are always up for a party.

"So is it time for finale roll call?? im in.. thursday rnbrad loco/stclark bansheefreak wesw reded champ23 Huggybear dirtydingo hairball ridenfast03 friday ledofthezep 03le strokerbanshee FASTOYS badassbanshee479 BBIII foxgirl pimpeinkc precisionpowersports stlbanshee" We are in as well. We are staying in the South camp behind Little Sahara Powersports. We will try to make it up to North Camp and say hey, but if we miss any of you stop on by our camp anytime...or we should be drag racing from about 4-7 each night just behind the main strait.

Hey guys, me and a few guys from the shop will be heading down this same weekend as well. We had plans to stay in the south campground, but may just change those plans if everyone is up north. We are also trying to decide if we are bringing the drag bikes or riders...or both. If Jim opens the track for the weekend we will definitely be doing some dragging! We will keep our eyes out for members and please feel free to stop by and tip a few with us...any time of night of course!! Art ///PPS
