special06shee Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Haha ur trippin i wish i could say i had something for hollywood, but that fact of the matter is/was, i didnt. I dont think i ever even made a clean pass against John. My bike was super inconsistent do to lack of chassis knowledge/set up. However, it ran super hard for a little 465. if i stayed somewhat in the throttle i was usually out in front with anyone. There were 3bikes in particular that i raced many times that clearly had more power then mine. Phil, tabata, and tyler. (Probably even more but those 3 i raced many times) I even rode phil's bike a couple times and could defiantly tell that his just had more then mine. But the beautiful part of racing on the short flats is, weight,rider, and setup are more important then cc's. IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 WINDY, forget all this other bullshit. Will you just answer my questions? In case you forgot them... 1. How did the IPS dyno compare to Shearer's dyno? 2. How did the bike feel your first time out? 3. Did you get your new swingarm yet? 4. Do you have any pics of the bike? Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Back to the important stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Wrong. Some of us know what really happened and will not allow Windy to spout off without offering up the truth. Do you think it's a coincidence that Windy had issues with Trinity and bashed them.. Now with Redline and bashed them.. And even had his hands on Frankthetank's motor from Redline and guess what, that one was wrong too... Common denominator here is who?! Haha. Dude, we ALL know trinity sucked........ Not just windy.

locogato11283 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Haha. Dude, we ALL know trinity sucked........ Not just windy. I actually disagree.. And I talked to them about his particular situation and know what they did to try to make it right. Yes, Trinity may be lacking in the Banshee motor department, but I don't think their sales overall are lacking. And it's a good enough company that another big company saw value in it and bought most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozer Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Trinitys dome design sucked for sure. Inventing spark plug locks to help keep the plugs in a detonating motor didnt help their cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL My buddy bought one of those thought it was the coolest thing in the world till I told him what it really was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Wait, the plug locks weren't the right fix? Fack I still get Christmas cards from weisco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 That was the best plug wrench for checking jetting at the hill. You never had to worry about it falling out of your pocket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Trinitys dome design sucked for sure. Really, have you actually ran their domes or following what other's have said? I personally ran their head & domes. They provided very good results. I gauge my performance with time slips & have done well. If a dome design wasn't working well, it wouldn't run a 3.94 in 300'. Certainly not with a 443 race gas cub, stock frame & a 220 lb. rider. It has been faster with a 180 lb. rider. They also worked great for 1/4 mile asphalt & hillshooting. So, take it for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Think it depends when the motor was done and by which fella in the grease monkey dept. I had a guy ask me to help out with an old Trinity motor that would keep backing plugs or get hot as hell. Pulled it apart and the porting looked meh, mediocre at best. It was their head and the thing had 15cc domes and about .024 squish. That was with a .028 base gasket as well. The piston BDC'd perfect on the exhaust so I'm sure that's how the base was supposed to be. This was in probably 2010-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I can sit patiently for 2 years working to figure out why my REDLINE 10 mill was only making 97HP…..Called Cameron 4 times about it too. But even after putting it on 5 different dynos and having 3 different tuners try….97 was the top number. Then I have to listen to Tyler tell me I don't know how to tune. Must be me. Apparently Cameron can get a ported stock cylinder 4 mill on pump gas and FMF's to hit 85HP……But Frankthetank gets a 4 mill REDLINE motor that can't break out of the 70's (AS TUNED BY CAMERON) on race gas with CPI's…..but he should sit quietly too. But don't say anything negative about REDLINE…….. And put my issue on the back burner for a second and address this question. If none of the Team Redline guys question that guys statement about his 4 mill hitting 85 with FMF's and pump gas...Shouldn't Frank be able to question why his motor can't make 85HP without Tyler jumping down his throat about it? Till Tyler flipped out about that post…..I hadn't publicly said a damn thing negative about my motor or Redline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
