I had a set of single buffs with spindle mounts they were 12 lbs each, once I got the correct tripple buffs (same size) they went to 8 lbs each with spindle mounts. When your holding just the tire you can feel the differance. The tripples look and feel like you can damn near put your finger through them. there will probly be a few spots that you can see the threads coming through them from the belts.

You might go to ATVDR and ask this. I am not too sure if you can just re-sleeve it to fit 73mm. I want to say that I read somewhere that the transfers are not the same, and that you should just buy a set that are already setup from CP with the size bore you want. I might be thinking of Twister, not sure. I just remember this coming up a long time ago and seem to remember someone saying that you

I have seen some aftermarket clutches make the pressure plate rub the three nipples when you pull the lever, but yours seems like the pressure plate is wobbling and rubbing in the center too. Possibly a combo of worn springs and pusher? Can't say for sure, never experienced this.

I used to live 15 mins from Alba. They suck. Customer service is none existent. I was on a first name basis with one of the chicks that worked the parts counter she was the only one worth a damn. And not because she knew her shit, but because she would return stuff, or give discounts on parts regardless of what she was "supposed" to do. The majority of their staff is clueless. I was told by their "Race Tech" that there is no such thing as different types of porting. Only one porting. I was also told by the parts manager that nearly all the parts on a banshee are specific to that year model. They are located inside a very ritzy area in San Diego, so they can careless about the small stuff. They have rich guys that come in and buy 4 and 5 bikes at full price all the time. I went their trying to get a deal on my wifes 450. I asked to see the dealer invoice and they guy brought me a folder with a bunch of blank papers, and a cover sheet that had the

any chance you could get a more blurry pict? It's probly just the carbon on the crown.

if your running gas use br8es or b8es

I'm actually a Marine, not a solider. But thanks. Time has passed pretty quickly. Won't be long and I'll be back home wasting money on my toys.

It's all going to depend on your setup. Different builders like different amounts of squish depending on the piston your running. Plus gas and alky are different. K&T told me to run as close to 36 as possible. I want to say that when I got everything back together I was sitting at 40? Some guys are all the way out to 52. So it's all about what your builder likes for his specific setup. You might give them a call and get their advice. To my knowledge there aren't any members on here that run nitro, but I could be wrong.

Holy crap, how did I miss this post for so long? Hope your doing well man. That sucks that you had to go under the knife, but hey what a gall bladder weigh? It's got to be good for at least 3 or 4 lbs right lol.... Anyways I hope you bounce back soon brother.

I left the states on Thanksgiving. I only got about 4 months left and I am coming back though.

what did you pay for that thing in the states? They are a dime a dozen over here. That car is pretty much the Mustang Cobra of Asia

Your best bet is going to be to call them.

you'll be fine. grab 3 hd springs and 3 stockers, get a ez pull perch and lever and your set.

They don't go out very often. If you had a tranny come apart and some metal get in them or if they have been ran ragged and have excessive play then go ahead.

1sick6, I don't have picts side by side but the differance is the way the dogs on the gears are cut. Also the Shift rum gets moddified. If you have a duneable there is springs between the forks to assist when shifting.

I know that the broom stick/scale was not accurate, that

Force is measured in Newton

Thats good for me. Now I get to double up on the whoopins....

Please tell me you

Ok do this. Grab a broom stick. Stand over a scale and push straight down. Then tilt the stick and push straight down again trying to exert the same force down. Not at an angle towards the stick, down just like the force of the piston is being transferred. Although it will be pretty freaking hard to know your putting the same force you will get an idea. You will not exert the same force being transferred to the opposite end of the stick. Same concept. The pistons job is to turn heat energy into mechanical energy to be harvested by the crank to turn the wheels. The piston goes in one direction in the cylinder, down. So there for the force being applied goes down. Try the scale and you will see. Got to head back to work... bbl.

Your wrong, plain and simple. If you reduce the angle that the rod is at the amount of force being applied is reduced.

Force does not have to be applied perpendicular to an object for it to have an effect. By reducing the angle the force is being applied doesn

lol fastest means nothing if it can only do it once :biggrin: I don't see the need to let it die. This has probably been one of the most productive posts/arguments we have had in a while on here. God knows we can only handle so many "do boost bottles really work" posts.

All of it comes back to theory. We don't have hard evidance how much and if it actually releives the piston from attempting to shove it's self through the cylinder, or that it allows more power from longer dwell times at TDC. Every bit if it comes back to theory of physics and trigonometry. Mathmatically, what we say makes sense, but becasue we have no means of measuring it to prove it , it remains a theory. The one thing that is a proven fact is that by reducing the amount of direct force applied that you reduce stress and extend potential life (life being it's ability to function in it's role as a component), assuming there isn't a failure caused by something else. This goes for all materials that are solid, be it wood, minerals, metals, whatever. Rotating or not. It applies to force in general, not just motors.
