06specialedition Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Shearers should pull longer on top IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcrano Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 when u talk hillclimb,do u mean in the dunes or in the woods.in the woods i would say hell to the no on shearers.from what i gather they lack bottom,but they are a inframe drag pipe,so thats not what they are built for.dunes,give em a try,but if ur woods,the t5s will be the choice.actually,pcs would be the woods choice.i still cheese over my dmcs tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanytoys Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I live up in Northeast Pa or as I like to call it "Coal Country".Planning a Pass for Treverton as Im about an hour and half away.90% wide open short takeoff coal hillclimbs I can trailride it the way it is the other 10% w/the T5s was just curious if the swap to the Shearer's would be worth it Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from what I've read, the T-5 isnt really the best pipe for low end grunt. I've never ran either of those pipes but I was looking into T-6's which supposedly give you more of all around power. Most of the guys riding the hills with shearers are running big stroker motors and such. However you will never know until you try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schweet97Z Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Keep the Toomeys on until you start getting into some porting/motor work, where the shearers will shine. A pipe decision is based on three factors. Riding style, how you want the bike to perform, and mods. Just like everyone else said, the shearers will have no low end power at all.

Toomanytoys Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Zillafreak: Got an opinion on what size domes.Also are the carbs going to be my limiting factor? I really am shooting for reliability over max power but not happy with it stock. Put the Shearers on today, advanced the timing 4 degrees. No real chance to ride it. My carbs are jetted with what came in the Toomey T5 kit.Is it fair to say I will need to change the jet size?Dont really recall what came with the T5s If so does anyone have a recommendation on where I should start w/the jetting? Topend of the motor is very fresh,maybe 20 hours.I dont want to blow the motor up so any help is appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 whatever the main jet is thats in it bump it up 20 that is if its a 290 go to a 310 try 310-340 on your mains also might try and gear up a tad the shears may like a lil more load on the motor. give them an honest day of riding and JET the carbs in right before you say you dont like them. its always nice to have the pipes just there to play with.

Toomanytoys Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ill start there Thanks Camatv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanytoys Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 you said stock domes, what size is stock? i would say try 21-22cc, but have them cut to give better burn control. call up brandon at wildcard racing, he will help you out. and yes carbs can be limiting you. When I bought the cool head I was only trying to keep the motor cooler.Added a billet propeller,inline ribbed adaptor thing, and engine ice. Was told they were stock domes.Not really adding any compression. I also have a 421 stroker but detonated the driverside piston.The motor will be down for awhile as I wanna go through it,install it then sell the motor Im currently running.But in the meantime I just wanna ride the smaller motor. Again Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armyvet Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 i have the t5s on mine as well.Since it looks like we do similar riding as we have the slag pits around here as well.Youll love the t5s for hill climbing.Mine has some trail porting and shaved head with stock carbs and the timing advanced maybe 4 degrees.It rips the hills.Im also 215lbs or so.The t5s dont have the low end of my fmfs but the mid and up makes up for it.Im at 280 right now for my main with jetting.if i ride it when it gets colder may go to a 290 or so but its good right now at 55/60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I put r2s on my bike and it seemed to run way better then my fmfs. I know they are different pipes then what you have but they fall I'm the same category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanytoys Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Finally got a chance to ride with the Shearers. They pull to the moon.I personally like them alot more than the T5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
