  1. Why you have to go Sat. ?? Can't you wait until I get there :biggrin: ?? I'll be on the road Sat and should arrive in Fallon roughly around 2 or 3, depending on traffic. You know what my truck looks like. I added a big Chrome FOX sticker to the rear window. Damn I was hoping to see how bad i wopped your but :yelrotflmao: ..Then I woke up
  2. Boost bottle doesn't do a damn thing performance wise....They just take up space..There was reason behind them made but that reason is unknown to most people. Just because it says boost bottle doesn't mean it adds any boost of any sort...the bottle attaches to the carbs boots and not to the carbs. you can get a set of carbs boots that don't have the holes for the bottle or just get the OEM boots with the cross over tube.
  3. 160+psi = race gas 150 and less is either a 50/50 mix or regular 91 octane pump gas
  4. I've never heard any negative things about Golden west cycle....Then again I don't spend much time in Visalia, unless I'm there to see my brother.I hear Laeger is a good set up.
  5. Yup your the 2nd guy to post about these awesome pipes
  6. I'm running 20cc domes with 175 psi at 200 feet above sea level...i also have a set of 17cc domes that will run about 200+psi at my sea level and that will be fine on VP 110 octane..
  7. Please show the HQ in writing where that's proven....but you are looking like a dumb ass right now with your statements. I wouldn't bet on a 700 if it was against a 450. But prove me wrong.
  8. reading your post I saw that you never mentioned anything about the carbs. I had the very same problem but it was on the left side. Come to find out the needle was bent and causing a disruption in the air flow so whe the spark plug sparked the fuel and air mixture was all fucked up not causing a good explosion when the plug sparked causing it to not fire right.. it would idle fine with both cylinders firing correctly then when I accelerated, it was like a light switch and the left cylinder would not fire but then right before red line of every gear the the cylinder would come back to life and the shee would scream, until you shifted and dropped the RPM's and the cylinder would shut off. I would also try to accelerate slowly and the cylinder would fire intermittantly until very close to red line and then it came to life and I had to hold on so I wouldn't get dumped on my ass. It was in the shop for 3 weeks and they fucked with it every day. The owner even got involved and so did just about every mechanic that got a call about the issues I was having with my shee. They tore the engine down all the way to look at the base gasket thinking it was an air leak. The owner called a buddy of his from San diego who came up during the weekend to look at my shee and after about an hour of fucking with it the guy was playing with my slide and noticed the needle was bent just a little. they put it in the carb and slid it up and doen and it was hittind inside the carb. They put the engine back together with all new gaskets, plugs,crossover tube and with a new needle and the bit ran perfectly...They dialed in the jettign for me and I paid just for the diagnostic to see what was wrong and the needle I think I paid like $100 for 3 weeks in the shop, engine tear down,a new needle, and some extra stuff that I bought. Clean the cabs real good and check your jetting and needle.
  9. I'll be there from march 11 to march 30.....Bansheeseat$$ and FAST500#12 ride there... FAST500#12 lives about 15 minutes from there
  10. if i wasn't going to be at Sand mountain, nv. during that time I'd be there.
  11. I'm kinda leaning on going with all black wheels. Haven't decided though.
  12. I got extremely bored today and decided to take a couple pics of the new(to me) PC'd red vein hubs I got from Kaotik1. I messed up and didn't catch the light just right and they look almost purple.
  13. I personally haven't heard any bad remarks about them. I know a few people on here have thwm and like them. You can't go wromg with the Elkas's though.....I'm pretty sure someone will post that as some full flights or at least have had some kind of experience with them.
  14. Most people would say to stay with the CPI's you can't go wrong with them. Any other choice would be either Shearers or Rocket pipes. Any other pipe would hamper the performance of the cubs
  15. My cheetah P.V. is running 175psi with 20cc domes at 200ft above sea level. if I put 17cc domes in it will go up to about 210-215psi.
  16. Use the 10" rims. When I bought my 22-11-10 extremes from Skat Trak they highly recommended to use 10" rims.
  17. I currently have the stock impellar on mine and so far it works fine....Now that i say this i will lose the impellar and have an overheat issue.
  18. Damn...I'll be there from March 11th to March 30th. I'm located south of you( I think) just outside of fresno...
  19. Have you tried running Engine Ice? I have yet to have an overheating problem with my powervalve. I run 160mains, 48pilots at 200 ft above seal level. If you find out what the prob is let us know....DOn't need to burn an engine up
  20. Dave...Where are you located and when do you plan on being at Sand Mountain??
  21. I've got the Fox Forma Pros as well and love them. They have saved my ankles and afew times when I overshot a jump and landed on the flats on my dirtbike. if I had not had them on I would've been in 2 casts...one on each ankle and in a wheel chair...I will never ride without them...then again that's just personal preferance...
  22. YUP I feel like a dumb ass on this one....I was wrong. I just went on the web site and saw that...don't remembert hat being at the bottom. :shrug:
  23. The pics and from what the lady said when I talked to her when i was buying mine said that they are chrome. They can get in trouble for posting a pic of chrome CPI's and give non chrome insytead....false advertising. There was no NOTE saying that they were not chrome.
  24. www.cpiracing.com I lied the price is $460 not $450
  25. Here's some links from Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/yamaha-bans...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/yamaha-bans...1QQcmdZViewItem Jeff at FAST has them for $550 and if you call CPI you can geth them for $450.
