i suggest you look at either Duncan Racing or Trinity for their stroker. I wouldnt ever trust alba with such an important part of the engine.
-
well i ended up getting the seat from them. red top amd black sides.
-
yeah i wont use them anymore for shit. since then i have been only using there website to get the manufactures that make the parts i want then i've just been going direct. ive found out that RM-ATV basicaly has everything to fix a problem or to modify your looks then Duncan Racing and Trinity Racing has all the trick shit like my new Roll Design Lobo II (now to actualy get that shit hooked up, i'm so lazy)

OH MAN.... ok so i have had those tie-rods on for a while now and i have been having problems with my allignment, i cant get my toe to get strait at all. I'm pretty shure they gave me the +3 instead of the +2 so i have to either have them cut and re-taped or return them. What should i do???? and i know i have the +2 +1 a-arms because they are the alba pro comp suspension kit. I'm going to call them right now to see what they will do.

Ive been planning on going to Clear Creek here in Cali. but if it dosent rain by thursday morning then it's probly off cuz that place will be a dust storm. i'll probly just end up going to my redwood tree farm in santa Cruz, or hollister but you know it will be packed to the gills.
-
well i dont know what your talking about them being bent???? J/K those things are thrashed!! clean but bent to hell. there is no way he didnt know they were that bent. just by having them on a shelf or a rack or the floor even you would see that one laying all wrong.
-
I got some pro-racer tierods a while back and i have just been living with them being too long but now my front tires are wearing wayy wrong. when i got them they were the 2"+ which should work with my alba 2+ 1+ right? so right now they are maxed out but i can still see thread on the ends of the rods. Do you fellas thing i should cut them down at the ends so i can get that last little bit from them. I have tried to tighent them more but i dont want to screw them up.
-
well al i have to say is that TORS is CRAP!! i just put on the toomey eliminator and motion-pro cable and it is brainless. the idle screws are very easy to drill and tap and now there are conventional idle screws and not something that just holds the cable up. so far so good. no i just have to tune it all up and sync them. Has anyone ever used the mercury sync tool?
-
were thee no pics of the bent ones?
-
you know what guys i figured it out, i'm getting the tors removal. easy. my dumb ass friend was convincing me that the air mixture screw was the idle.
-
ok so i got it to run but now it's Reving way up when the choke is off but when it's on it dosent. I have a feeling it's those screws ontop of the TORS. How do i adjust them, it seems like they both just keep spinning without stoping. ?????

I when riding last weekend and as i was leaving i noticed that my right side wasnt hitting correctly. I figured they were just coming out of sync so i didnt worry about it. Yesterday i synced the carbs up and it is still not hitting right so i continued to just visualy check everything. I noticed that one of the big flathead screws on the TORS wasnt tight so i just hand tightnend it up and i changed the plugs. i havent started it yet cuz that was around 9pm and i didnt want to upset my neighbors. The way it sounds is when i Rev it up only the left side is firing then if i let off the throttle while it's reved up the right side will fire as it's de-reving. after work i'm going to see if anything is different then continue to check the floats in the carb for dirt. what do you guys think it could be? "do you think i want a trinity 2 into 1"
-
i have the 99 red and black so i was probly going to get a black one or get some sort of custom Grafix from a budy of mine so i can tie it in with the bike. I'm tired of looking at the factory decals and shit.
-
I use Redline 2stroke mix 40:1 and Golden Spectro 10-40
-
well actualy yeah, i do think he would tell me the real deal. He is good friends with my brother and has known him for a long time. He actualy convinced me not to get the "Braking" wave rotors because they arent the best, he told me to get the galfer. BTW he finaly sold Braking because they were such crap, thank god i didnt get it like he said. I'm a cabient maker and if somone came to me to get some frameless cabinets i would tell them to go to our competitor becasue their frameless is better. Framless is crap in general so thats realy why we dont want to do that because you can never give a good product
-
cool i didnt know if anyone made them anymore. Let me know when you decide if you are going to keep yours or not. and also how much was it?
-
thank you, finaly somone on here that agrees with me on this.
-
i have the FMF boost bottle on my shee now and i did notice a significant increase in the throttle responce. Nothing else realy, i didnt get any more low or top end at all but it just seems to be more consistant throughout. However i do only ride tight wood trails so that probly would let it show more.
-
yea my bank normaly isnt that low it was just that time of month. i had all sorts of bills right after. if they would have held up to their terms and conditions and paid me back within 10 days then there wouldnt have been an issue. Yeah i have used alba alot through the last couple of years and i have never had any problems with anything, ive probly spent atleast $2500 with them from a factory frame and factory nuts and bolts to their sport-comp suspension. I bet that if this was just a return then it wouldnt have been a problem because they would only be dealing with me but since this was a UPS f-up they "lost track of my order" according to them. they basicaly were accusing me of getting the parts and claiming i never got them when the whole time UPS admited that their drive reported it as a damaged part and returned the package (empty) to them. My whole point in calling them a shitty company is that the whole time they had two options on their end, (1) it was UPS's fault and they would pay Alba for the lost parts then Alba would pay me back or (2) it was Albas fault for not packing them correctly and Alba would have to pay me back. So basicaly either way they had to pay me back reguardless of UPS's decision for what happend, if was Albas Shadyness to make me wait longer then their "up to 10 days" and still make me wait longer then 30 days to even tell me that they are going to pay me back.
-
well i finaly got a call back from them today and he said that ups sent them a letter so it will be refunded today. why couldnt they have done that in the first place.
-
that was a very good feedback. problem, questioned, replied, solved. i wish it would always turn out so well
-
my cuz lives right by him so he would probly be down with paying him a little visit. the same sort of thing happend with him with his KTM and some f-er from Sac. i also know where the F-er lives on this map. http://home.comcast.net/~tboicelli/long_F-er.jpg

my brothers friend Elio has a banshee that is fliped out from back in the day and he has a tall seat foam. I love the look of it, it looks like a cricket... so anyways i cant find who makes it now, i've look everywhere i can think of and have had no luck. does anyone know who makes the tall foam and cover?
-
ok well i have been talking with the parts maneger and he says he is sorry for the problem with ups etc. He actualy told me that UPS hasnt gotten back to them if it is Alba's fault or UPS's, meanwhile i talked to UPS and they said they faxed them the forms to get the refund over two weeks ago. he kept saying that he's sorry about the ups problem so I told him i have nothing to do with UPS, i am dealing with alba. so i was looking through their terms and conditions and i found something quite intresting "All refunds will require up to 10 days to process." ok now dont get me wrong here but dosent that say "up to 10 days" so i placed the order on 10/5/05 ups discovered it was damaged on 10/7/05. dosent that make it more than 10 days. so i called the maneger back today and told him about their terms and that if i dont get my money back by this friday i will have to go to the DA's office and finnish it. I think that got him off his ass to get this fixed NOW. I also snuck in there that they just lost my $380 that i took to JL instead of Alba. NO ONE EVER USE ALBA ACTION SPORTS, if there is a problem with anything they will do anything in their power to delay paying you back.
