figjam Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Figaro yes and yes. You will need a coolhead and custom domes. And a larger radiator would be recommended imo. These cylinders get quite hot hey. I'm also planning a similar setup. 35mm pwks and either cpi or sniper pipes. Need input on gearing. I was thinking 15/42 - I have 22" inch dirt tyres. Anybody??

robert.b.west Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 guys I'm starting my build this month probably next week i will buy the suspension and tires etc... so i was wondering what will i be best off with Serval dune ported and 35pwk on Sheerers or CPIs? also should i use Hanson full clutch parts or lock up ? will i need a cool head for the bike and a larger radiator ? I personally love the cpi's but have no experience with shearers. The stock clutch has components have worked for me with no issued although I do have a lockup. I added it after my second ride. From personal experience it depends on what you are doing if you need a lockup on a serval. If you are doing just general dune riding I would say some good clutch plates and hd springs would be just fine. Up at Silver Lake we drag race quite a bit on wet sand. Once the clutch started to get hot it would not hold while drag racing. I got an under cover lockup and love it. I think that a cool head is pretty much a necessity. I run the stock radiator and never have had any cooling issues. I have a in line temp gauge coming out of the head and the highest temp I have seen was 180 f.

robert.b.west Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I am running a 15/41 with 22" paddles but I think that I like the stock 14/41 with the 22's better. 15/42 would probably work pretty good on dirt. I just have a hard time wrapping out 6th on the sand with the 15/41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.b.west Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 are those hand coned CPI's? thats sweet No they arn't. I have some shit on the pipes that makes it look like there are more welds than there are in that picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figaro Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Good choice!!! thanks i saw your bike and had to get some like it it just looks so nice . how do you like the +6 swing arm can you go sideways in it ? I'am buying the serval kit today or tomorrow and was wondering if you had any port job done to yours if so where from and how does it run? also i how do you like the hanson clutch is the leaver lighter? i am getting one too but not sure yet http://www.ebay.com/itm/350388953982?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMex Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I don't have any problems pitching my bike sideways or doing donuts etc. No porting on the Serval just cleaned up the casting flaws. Clutch pull seems the same to me but I hear that the MSR east pull clutch lever does wonders, also you can always run softer springs and use a lockup. I'm running no lockup so I have to use stiff springs on my clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running no lockup so I have to use stiff springs on my clutch. what was the size of your rims and tires and where can i get them ? do you have the .125 dugles or the .190 ? which one should i get for sand riding ? where did you do the clean up on the casting flows and how much ? also where can i get the MSR east pull clutch lever? are they the same as the hydrological clutch ? what is the difference between the lockup and the Hanson and which one works best for our Servels ? I mostly ride the dunes and some time drag and what is your thoughts on ceramic coating the piston heads and domes ? also should i get a +4 or 6 swing arm and what make is yours ? how do you like your suspension ? should i get the fox evo front and rear elka with linkage http://www.ebay.com/itm/Laeger-Fox-Evol-Float-Long-Travel-Kit-Yamaha-Banshee-/380374734571?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item589019d6eb or all elka ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Laeger-Elka-Stage-4-Long-Travel-Suspension-Kit-Yamaha-Banshee-350-1991-2012-/140613660176?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item20bd3a2e10 sorry for the many questions I just am in a hurry to buy the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
