  1. Yeah? Show me proof. (I had mine for a long time and had multiple well known builders try to improve it. And my 10 mill 465 cub made more power AND the same TORQUE as "Nickisgod's" F.A.S.T. prepped 485 4 mill Cheetah.) And let's not use CAM as an example since he's had 350's that beat much bigger motors, won't post any dyno curves of his "correctly set up Cheetahs" and has no timeslips. And most of all embrace that I really only focus on 4 mill cheetahs for well researched reasons. You know of a strong 4mill Cheetah with powervalves?....let me know. Powervalve motors have been used in watercraft and snowmobiles for a LONG TIME. So let's not start thinking that secret magic port concepts are just now finding the light of day. If you can list a builder who a person can buy a cheetah from that will make more power than a cub....I'm all ears. Seriously! Name these people who have "figured them out".
  2. Freshy fresh fuel? Premium fuel is going bad REALLY FAST lately.
  3. Coldest winter since 83'-84' That winter we had 60-80 below windchills for over a week straight. Our dog wouldn't go out in it. We would have to kick it out the door and not let it back in till it took a crap. By spring it was so well trained/conditioned that it ran around crapping on the last of the little snow piles. We were beginning to think we would have to tie an ice cube to it's tail so it would think it was ok to crap. LOL
  4. No. Not at all....but CAMATV will disagree. Stick with the cub.
  5. Travis sold his banshee, but should still come ride his 250R. Haven't seen or heard much from Keyser since he blew out his clutch on the last Badlands ride in fall.
  6. This may be a little bit dated as a reference to some of the younger folks, but…. Apple = Beta Android = VHS Nothing wrong with either….But it's just like A/C vs. D/C for the standardized form of electric.... One will end up being excepted as the overall winner. It's Apple vs the entire world at this point since Android will let anyone play and Apple won't. So you can enjoy your apples…..but in 10 years you will be so used to your apple operating system, that switching to Android will seam like learning German. Apple phone operating systems = Blockbuster video rental. (Just give it time)
  7. Remember when Apple launched their epic Super Bowl commercial about breaking free from BIG BLUE IBM?…... Now Apple is the monolithic entity that wants you to buy ALL your music and movies and product from them exclusively. Now it's Android that is the operating system that allows independant input of ideas from the outside world for phones. There are plenty of other products out there that do the same thing as Apple TV. (writing this on my 27" iMac…but surfing on the go from my Galaxy)
  8. Nope. You have a spare DM sitting around. No need for you to worry about leaks. If something happens and it burns down, you can just swap in bullet #2 and send the leaker back to Cam for a fresh build. You'll be ready for a bigger motor by tgen anyway.....
  9. LOL Not any more. He shat out his innards after loosening everything with some power vomiting.
  10. As always....people get an idea in their head and you try to educate them and they won't give any additional info the proper weight. Here's the point....you are being told what NOT TO DO! Your idea isn't a 7-8 on the 10 scale of perfection. It's actually a step down from stock. The whole YFZ shock idea is one of the WORST to become widely heard of. We had a guy who did that to a bike in our group.....complete shit! I preferred stock arms and shocks with the reverse offset front rims. But hey....why listen to people with years of experience. Go spend time slamming your dick in a door....then come back and tell us it wasn't too bad. I understand...it's a budget thing. It's like you can't afford a condom, so you're going to try a plastic baggy and a rubberband. Have fun....till you figure it out the hard way. You were warned.
  11. Why? No likey? Sounds like a damn shame to not want/need them.
  12. …...Didn't you just get this motor running recently?
  13. DOOOOOOO IT! Two full handfulls.
  14. ^^^This. Flywheel spun.
  15. They work great for head stud repairs too.
  16. "Something to PASS".....as in....your bike. That was the joke. I have no idea what all you have done to your bike..... But you're more than welcome to throw a leg over mine that day if you want.
  17. When pistons are hot and get quenched with water they can warp. Sometimes the rings will pinch as ringlands collapse. Give everything a good looking over.
  18. ^^^ Nonsense. Check out the clamps from Cascade Innovations.
  19. Well......the only Superbowl that didn't sell out all it's seats by game day was the one held in Detroit. That wasn't due to it being held in a big city...... That was location, location, location. Even as far back as the original Robocop movie....the place was perceived as the nations shithole.
  20. Your memory is fading…….are you sure your not in Kansas anymore? You might be there right now. You better step outside and go ask somebody.
  21. That guy is on dope! So are we supposed to be excited about having a chance to get our hands on what is basically the oldest Banshee bone stock ever, coupled in a deal with a nearly equally old Blaster with full drum brakes? Here's a hint….If you GAVE me that listing for free, I'd strip the plastics off the Blaster to sell later, then roll it to the curb and take the first $1500 anyone brought me. Then I'd do the exact same thing to the Banshee…but just for kicks ask for $2500. With $12,000 I could buy a fully decked out 10 mill Banshee with all the goodies AND a 100+HP turbo Raptor. WTF do I want a pair of stock machines for? ( Only stock parts on my machine right now are - Cases (trenched), flywheel, front and rear brake boosters and calipers (polished), gas tank and seat pan/pad/latch (custom cover)……..and upper A-arm bolts. )
  22. Taking turns sitting on the cooler since those who brought chairs won't share. LOL
  23. OK. I guess your just a little moody when your hungry. You must have just ate a Snickers.
