Stone MXshee Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 So the serval is credited to be a great all around application cylinder. I looked on CP's website and they don't manufacture them, who does anyway? Quote
Stone MXshee Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Posted October 13, 2014 its not on their website Quote
sheerider11 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 There site is weird. They don't really up date it much. And it seems like it has lost a lot of info since the last time I was on it. There were great cad drawings of the cylinders and the measurements of almost every inch o the cylinder. I couldn't find them last time. Quote
BUILDER Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 There web site is way out of date. They do make the cylinder Quote
Stone MXshee Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks. Is Serval the only cylinder they are missing out of their products list for the shee? I am just reading up on cylinders and learning to understand the + and - of everything they have. Quote
Stone MXshee Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Posted October 13, 2014 And do they have a serval and a serval cub? Quote
Stone MXshee Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Posted October 13, 2014 whats mostly so popular about the serval? the wider power bands im assuming Quote
possum Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 its mainly just lower not wider unless ported properly with correct domes. Imagine a duneport vs drag port = serval cub or cub Quote
RadarRacing Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 The cylinder may not be on their site or updated due to the unfortunate health problems including the eventual death of CP Calvin Pollet who started the company. The port layout on a serval is different than a stock cylinder by having 6 transfer ports instead of 4 , a main exhaust port with two added auxillary ports instead of just one exhaust port and a much better layout. It is basically what we would love to have in a factory cylinder. Remember 800cc twin cyl pumpgas snowmobiles commonly have 160hp, yet we were given 30-40hp 350s. The serval in every way looks like a cub but the serval has much more rounded power delivery with much more useable power in the lower rpm ranges. A 100 hp cub for normal riding is very flat down low and then the power slams on very hard. The serval would be much more rideable in the range under say 5000 or 7000 rpms where a cub would be gutless. Hope that helps. 3 Quote
Big Mike NY Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Excellent information radar for those of us that did not know. 1 Quote
sheerider1026 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Wouldn't it be nice to be able to order the CP cylinders with any port timings u want? When I say this I mean even lower than a serval for mx/trail riding (not saying serval isn't good for mx/trail so please no flaming) Quote
registered user Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 yet we were given 30-40hp 350s i thought it was 55hp ? Quote
sheerider1026 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Stock banshee is like 38hp right? Quote
