WINDYCITYJOHN400

If your buying new....V-4's FTW!

Then your going to need an engine builder.....

The 4 degree keys are fine. If your counting on the key to hold the flywheel....then your doing it wrong. If you key breaks the the flywheel wasn't properly seated and tightened. I like the billet model timing plates that adjust by moving the flywheel pickup without rotating the whole plate. MUCH easier.

Perfect! As long as your carb is at least a 35 your Mint.

That Bob's manifold looks just like a Graydon. You get an intake like that with a 35PWK and you'll be very happy with the results. Don't waste your time with a Trinity unit.

It's just a joke. They are being sarcastic. Matt DOES do suspensions for a living. My vote - Elka (whatever model you can afford.)

Your going from riding a bike that never needed any tuning to an alky bike?..... You've never run alky and don't have plug checking and plug reading knowledge/experience?........ I see an epic melt down in the future. Your going to have to park it and do alot of Research/ Reading till your at least 60% confident in the basics......then the real learning curve begins.

It's looks. A straight tube swingarm is fine as long as it has some gussets. The ones that just have the round tube butted to the round carrier, but have no strengthening gussets are more towards drag. They can handle some abuse, but the gusseted ones can handle more.

WTF?

If those are gas...I call dibs.

Set up for Alky or Gas?

A Ton. LOL (It might be hard to find "Dune Editions" at this point because Elka changed around their shock systems. You'll more than likely get the "Stage 2+R and have them set up for sand. As for A-arms....I like full ball joints instead of heim joints. I'm running Lonestar sports.

Elka Dune Editions with +2+1 A-arms FTW! I have them and LOVE THEM!

You know.....all the aftermarket cast cranks for sale out there are wang cranks. ( at least the webs are) what really matters is what rods and bearings you use and was it trued an welded correctly. The cheap stuff on ebay is just crap rods and bearings on Wang webs.

If the trails in your woods are that narrow.......you need to get off the Mountain Bike/BMX paths and go do some real riding.

Tried that once.....adds a bog to the motor. Don't do it. Having said that....Mulll engineering sells a kit with some tapered tubes that they claim work. But straight ones kill the intake pulse. You want filters as close to the carbs as you can on a 2-stroke.

Yeah we understand. You have a nice V-8 sand rail to play with now. You just drop the bike in the sand once and a while to remind everyone who's still Queen of the dunes. (Your going to have to get Michele in that thing and show her your wheelie skills.)

LMAO.......X2 Pics of wife wearing nothing but your free parts when they arrive. FTW!

Yeah, but Cam's motors and bikes have been for sale for YEARS. "Strong runners"......No buyers. LOL Buy whatever you want. But if you buy a 4 mill cheetah.....your going to spend WAY more money and need to put alot more effort into it, just to make the same power you can as a smaller Cub.

........Says the guy who's selling a Cheetah and wants an identical sized Super Cub.

THAT'S IT!....TIME TO START A POST ABOUT BAD MOUSE'S WIFE DROPPING THE BALL!

3-4 Depends on the motor. The more power it makes...the greater the improvement. Some dyno curves have shown as much as 7hp at one point in the curve.

It won't. (I know...I've had a 400, 472,492) I sold my 492 4mill Cheetah and bought a 10 mill cub. The 10mill cub was cheaper, makes more top end HP as well as the same low end torque numbers as my power valve equiped cub. If your dead set on a 4 mill that something other tha a Cub....either go with a fully prepped ported stock cylinder, get a slightly ported Serval, or do a Super Cub.

Life is not all quick posts from your phone. Business is done over the phone. Know why.....inflection. It's hard to do business in an Email. Watch..... It's hard to do business in an Email. It's hard to do business in an Email. It's hard to do business in an Email. It's hard to do business in an Email. You can write it...but it's hard to tell what your emotions are in the sentence. Without smileys...your left wondering. Follow a three strikes rule in life. #1 - If you have a problem, CALL and let somebody hear you tell them just what the problem is. (They won't know there is an issue till you call.) #2 - Give them time to solve the problem, then follow up to check status. (Ask for a tracking # at that point.) #3 - Alert them to the fact that the problem has not been solved as of yet, ask why, get info on how they plan to act, let them hear your level of disappointment with your experience. (You might even get a discount or extra item for your troubles) After that you can start making stronger moves. (like posting on a website) But you should start by saying something like these examples - Help! I bought something from "so and so" and I'm having trouble getting info from them....has anyone else had problems like this with this company before? Does anyone know how to get ahold of "so and so"? I tried, but my parts aren't here yet and I'm worried/running out of time. Do any fellow site members know "so and so" personally? Could you call him and ask him about my order? I bought an item from "so and so" and it's very late in arriving...anyone have a suggestion on how to best handle it? Any post like that would probably have gotten a fellow site member who knew your vendor personally, to call him with a heads-up so he could address it before it got worse.

it hard to take ne body serious who can't bother to break up his comments with a few punctuations plus when they do run on sentences it hard to figure where thoughts start an stop i been on HQ for years never heard bad stuff about Chariot they got good stuff maybe your emails were too hard to read so that lead to issues I laugh at the "I like to spend all my money at one place" comment I think your talking about all your money like it is more than $100. LOL Not saying a mistake didn't occur.....but you went to guns a little early with this one. Especially when nobody has a clue who you are.
