dajogejr Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Bought a boost bottle, for about 22 bucks. No biggie. I've read they improve throttle response off the bottom...and they sure look cool. Since I already have it...is it worth putting it on. My mods: Toomey 2 into 1 foam w/ outerwear Boyseen Reeds And...after this weekend, T5's from a fellow BHQ member. Next month...Vforce 2 Reed cages/reeds...(I've read the V2's are better than 3s...I think.. Should I bother putting the little chrome jug on?

FlatTrackinIt55 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 you might as well put it on, you have it and not many people buy them so it may be hard to sale for what its worth.. if you were debating whether or not to buy one i would say forget it but.. you did buy it so put it on anyways atleast it would be another shiny part..

i12gofast Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I noticed an easier throttle pull and a snappier response when i put it on a stock engine, but now with all my other mods, i dont think it makes a dam bit of difference......but it looks cool!

. Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 most boost bottles are a little larger tubing going into the intakes and it likes to stretch the rubber.....I've heard of it cracking quite a few peoples intakes. I got a boost bottle I woulda sold ya for 15...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richybanshee Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Since you already have it, just put it on. Do not spect HP gains or better throttle response, the stock tube makes the same difference. You do need to have some kind of, let just say, passage way between both carbs for better throttle response at low rpms 4,000-5,000 rpm. Toomey racing has some info on the theme. Yamha engineers put it for some reason, so do not take it off. Edited March 17, 2005 by richybanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I might spend a little time there...traling it with the 450R boys I'm riding with...but hopefully not too much. I'm going to get my jetting spot on when I get my T5's...then, I might just throw it on..not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
