I did the flip it upside down, then steam clean it, carefully a few times. Then I flipped it right side up, filled it to the top with diesel, worked the crank easily back and forth, dumped it out. Did this over and over about 4 times. This was on a CR 250, but its the same principle. Good luck, I'd split it if I had to do it again, my Warrior just got split tonight.

We have dynoed Shearers and CPI's on a 4 mill Cub with the Shearers getting the nod in HP and torque. The loaner set of Rockets never made it to my house so I couldn't do the dyno shootout EVERYONE is wanting. Sorry.

UPP

I lubed them up real good with grease and the right one went on pretty easy. The left one I greased, then heated with a heat gun and it went on with brute strength. Right one fits great, the left one we shimmed out to miss the head. Most HP inframe pipe we dynoed.

Mine did 109 WITH the stock Shearer packing. I havn't checked it after I repacked, sounds quieter to the naked ear though.

Shearer's made more HP on my motor than CPI's. Didn't have Rockets to test.

When my bike was setup like this one, I ran 280's at sea level.

I'm gonna say it's the sand binding up in the chain and rear sprocket. If you are running a skid plate, it will be worse.

Heat is your friend when it comes to removing studs.

Let me rephrase, you compress the throttle spring.

Sounds like the Rocket owner likes the Cubs in the trails. Lets see some responses now.

I don't cut coils off the springs, I grind the outside diameter down to make them softer. Think about it, if you went out and cut coils off of the front suspension. It wont make it softer, it'll be harder. Take a stock front Banshee shock spring, put it on the ground, put your weight on it and compress it. Now, cut it in half. Put your weight on it again. A lot stiffer isn't it. The same principle applies to throttle springs.

We used to cut two rows off, leave two rows on ect.... We also have cut every other row off. This was our sand dune setup, way back in the day. Now we just run haulers.

Dan builds some fast stuff. Look http://www.planetsand.com/ubbthreads/showf...sb=5&o=&fpart=1

We get 6% here. You can only put $14 or $15 grand in per year, so we max it out every year. Be carefull buying a lot of company stock, look at all those Enron ex-employees with NO retirement.

I'm with Loco on this one.

From a performance point, the domes, not the head, make all the difference. Noss or Trinity? It's a toss up, but David is a real swell guy..

Wouldn't I need to jet down if I went up in elevation? I should have more air avaliable down at sea level. I'm asking cause I don't really know the answer to this.

My 68mm+4mm stroke Cub is running 35 PWKs. Pilot it a 48 and mains are 148. Runs great at sea level.

I'm gonna kinda agree with you Loco, the Cubs may have more torque through the rpm range(at least I think they do), but the low end port job will probably be easier to ride in the trails. Kinda like how Honda detuned the CR 500 thru the years to make it more "ridable". I'm just a dune goon anyway, rarely see a trail.

My 4 mill Cub also has a lot of low end. The torque curve is real smooth up to 50 ft. lbs. The power is there, you just don't have to use it all if you don't want to. More low end than a stock Banshee and definitly way more low end than a drag port, stock cylinder(stock stroke). I think the low end comes from the 4 mill stroke. I have never rode a "trail port" motor, so I can't comment on that.

I wish Oregon would follow California's lead. Never, ever thought I would ever say that.

The beach in Oregon is an Oregon State Highway. If you went over 100mph and were caught, how much was your bail to get out of jail. Seriously.

See if cascade will make you silencers to fit the CPI's or Shearers.

Thanks
