  1. Hi Guys, Allright schools in session so listen up. First nitrous is not the Devil and will not blow up your engine, but treat it as you would any other performance enhancing components you might add to your shee. Nitrous is a catalist, by itsefl it won't do anything, but add some fuel to it, compress it, burn the mixture and it will cause the fuel to burn faster than it normally would. I know, but what does this mean? Lets say you put just the nitrous part of a kit on your shee without the fuel sysem part of the kit, what would happen. The engine would lean out as soon as the nitrous solonoid opened and you would be ordering a new set of pistons and trying to get all of the melted alluminum out of your crankshaft bearings instead of reading this long and boring posting right now. On the flip side lets say you run out of nitrous what will happen? Yes thats right the engine will just run extremely rich but not hurt anything. OK what did we learn? Your fuel system is the most important thing on your shee, treat it with respect. If you don't and you run out or low on fuel pressure and well you know what will happen. Yeah I ran a N.O.S. setup on my 350 midrange ported shee for quite a while. Here is what I did and or would recomend. Weld & true the crank, run forged pistons, don't put the nozzles to close to the reeds as it can freeze them and then they can brake off, use an electric fuel pump not a vacum opperated one, check the fuel pressure with the fuel system on and the fuel solonoid open, use the jetting recomendations that come with the kit, have a system arming switch and an actuating switch and finally run good (Race) gas. Here are a couple of other things that I did. I drilled a hole in the fuel tank and ran a separate fuel line just for the nitrous system. I had Ricky Stator rewind the stator so it would charge a battery and I ran a motorcycle battery on my shee. This way the solonoilds allways had enough voltage to stay open. I used a toggle switch arm the system, a micro switch mounted on the twist throttle to opperate the system and I used a street bike clutch lever and wired the nuetral safty switch so it would shut off the system when the clutch lever was pulled in. This set up ran good for a long time. We would run it on the big hill at the Cinders near Flaggstaf, AZ. That hill is about 800' high and a steep mother. I would use the nitrous with the 30 hp jets in it from the bottom all the way to the the top, about a 20-25 second pull on the engine and never hurt anything. I hope this helps you out and good luck.
  2. Mr Talon2 has the rite scoop. In arizona you can get a title only( just shows ownership good for nothing else), an O.H.V. title and plate ( which California will accept instead of buying thier F***ing sticker!) or the full on street legal title and plate.
  3. Hey mix whatever you want but be carefull and read and understand what the warning labels say. Some of those solvents are very toxic and can be absorbed directly through your skin. Years ago I sold Moroso octane booster and it was some good shit. Then they changed the formula because they had so many problems with the toxicity of it. Needless to say it wasn't as good after they changed it.
  4. Oh come on now you really think he hasn't checked the fuel level? Ok maybe not but even the youngsters know to check that first.
  5. You can run it without worry but it is not the same as a good quality race gas such as V.P.. Race gas will make more horsepower and run cooler than AV gas.
  6. Yea those petcocks usually have screens on them. It's probably just plugged up.
  7. Sure the kit is overpriced and it's made out of mild steel but it goes well with the rest of the cheap ass stock frame. We're not talking about a Lonestar frame here. If it was made to fit super tight it would'nt fit on half the bikes out there. It's way better than having to worry about one of those J-arms coming apart going down the road.
  8. It's probably just running to rich. You should'nt be fouling plugs that often.
  9. If everything else is the same yours should! But chances are there are a lot of subtle differences bettween the two bikes. I talked to all the big guns including Matt Shearer about inframe pipes and even he told me there was a big difference in H.P. bettween the two styles of pipes. He basically talked me out of buying inframes. Enough with the bench racing get out there and get dirty!!!
  10. I ran 35PWK's for years on a ported and loved them.
  11. Here you go, I put this setup on my 89. Welds in nicely and uses all of the late model a-arm stuff. If you pictures of mine E-mail me and I will send you some. Check out this link for info. http://atvracing1.com/a-arms.htm
  12. Well you could pull it apart and see what you have. Any good shop can mike the pistons and put a dial bore gauge in the cylinders and tell you what you have in just a couple minutes. If you're really worried about it thats what I would do or at the very least take it to a good shop and let them listen to it.
  13. I ran an N.O.S. set up for a while, it was a lot of fun but keeping the bottle full is a pain. If it's over full when it gets hot it will blow the pop off valve. As for your engine you need to have the crank trued and welded, this is a must because they tend to move around on a ported engine let alone the harsh abuse the sudden hit of nitrous will give it. Also run a good forged piston I had Pro-X cast pstons in mine and while I never hurt it using the nitrous I did pull the wrist pin through the bottom of one of the pistons several months after we had taken off the nitrous kit. Theres a lot more things I would recomend for it to make a nice set up if you're interested.
  14. Check out FTZ pipes also, I hear they are better on the big engines than CPI's. FTZ's make the big bore CPI's look like small bore pipes, the chamber diameter is huge. But with the good comes some bad, they are a cone design and are very thin and don't hold up well on a dune type Shee and probably not look to great on a show bike. I don't have any input on the other two (GRR or Rockets) except to say that I really like they way the Rockets look, they have a nice smooth round curve from the flange and out to the side instead of the usual straight piece then bent piece then curved piece and out to the side. Nice. As a side note, hey Rocketman who answers the phone over there? I called and talked to someone about some inframes and they didn't sound like they knew very much about them and how well they worked? Very disappointing. I was so disgusted with talking to all the big companys about inframes, I bought a set of used Power Pro small bore out of frames off e-bay just to run over the Memorial Day weekend.
  15. Does it do it when after it warms up? What type of pistons are they? Cast or forged? Cast pistons are less dense than forged and thus expand less when heated so you can run tighter piston to wall clearence and will last longer between bores. However forged pistons are far stronger because they are denser but expand more when heated and need more piston to wall clearence. Your best bet is to just bite the bullet and bore the cylinders and put in a good set of forged pistons. When you go riding start the bike let it idle for a few minutes before riding, I like to touch the sides of the cylinders to see how warm they are. One more thing don't start it and then rev it up constantly like a lot of people do thats not good on a cold engine!!! Fools
  16. I've got a set of Chrome Duncan Racing Paul Turner High Rev pipes and Fat Boy silencers I'll let go of. The pipes and silencers cost $730.00 new and these are surely not new and I just got new drag pipes so I no longer need them. They work great all over the rpm range and are not peaky like some. The biggest thing I like about them is the main body of the pipe is in front of the engine in a curly cue shape and only the skinny part of the pipe goes by the carbs. In other words you can't burn your legs on them like the others (this is nice if you like to cruise the beach in your best board shorts) and it makes it very easy to change plugs and get to the carbs. Here is a link to the Duncan site for info. http://www.duncanracing.com/atvproducts/index.phtml?id=43 If you're interested E-Mail me and I'll send you some pictures.
  17. There's no substitute for a clean filter. When I go camping for 3-5 days I take a couple of cleaned and oiled filters put them in separate Ziploc bags and change the filter in the mornings. Just let go of some of that cash and live the good life!
  18. What type of riding do you do? Just your average duning and hill racing your buddies, run and old stock type cdi. MSD enhancer and Dyna are not worth enough of a difference to spend that kind of coin on. Stricktly drag without a charging system check out the MSD from FTZ, it's a modified snowmobile/watercraft true multiple spark unit. Simply killer.
  19. You have to remeber two things. You can't believe everything you read and who's buing the advertising. The mags are not going to piss off the big spenders. On my fisrt shee I wanted to build it just like Duncan racing had done in one of those mag build ups. when I went to order it they said some of the things in the mag were just put in there for the advertisers sake and told me what to realy use. Buyer beware
  20. The CT Racing kit came with new Titanium needles. Try to get those and see how they work. Yoshi pipe should be good, is it the full system? Air box lid?
  21. Looks good but just bought a pair. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...7901266319&rd=1
  22. Have you done anything to it yet? On my wifes 2002 we put the C.T. Racing kit on it. You Know pipes, muffler, jets, needles and the Pro Flow K&N filter set up without the air box lid. Then we dropped the gearing and it will run with the mild shees. Hell we took it to Glamis and I could'nt drag race it, all it would do is wheelies, so we put a 4" lonestar swing arm on it to calm it down.
  23. I've seen some arizona shees out there anyone going to the Cinders over the Memorial Day weekend. I'll be there early Thursday thru Tuesday. Gotta get out of the heat you know. It was beautifull over the Easter weekend high fifty's low sixty's, even got a little snow. It had to be nicer than the 90 degree temps at Glamis.
  24. I've Know them for about 25 years. He was a big time drag racer and speed shop owner back in the days before anyone ever thought of bracket racing. You know back in the days when race cars were dangerous and sex was safe! He started on banshees about ten years ago and is just into it. If there's something new out there you can bet he's already tried it and can tell you about it. They were one of the first places in the country to have the T-Rex cylinders. If you want the staight scoop on somthing new or old and not just the company line I would talk to them. They do almost everything themselves and will tell you if they don't. It's nice to actually talk to the person that does the work. Know I wouldn't bad mouth Kenz, they sure do have a nice shop but I feel a little more comfortable at the Shack. I was just over there yesterday having them prep a pair of 38 PWK's for my shee and discussing the pros and cons of all of the different pipes out there. Good luck and have fun.
  25. TOBACCO IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL!!! PRAISE THE LORD F*@K THE DEVIL
