Cotton eyed Joe Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 yea comparing the pt's to rockets is like comparing...ummm....corvettes and civics?? 393013[/snapback] I dunno...some of those Civics are pretty hot once they get the neons and the 8" exhaust tips on them. Once you put a 1" drop on the springs..oh its on! You can leave the brakes stock though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06YFZ450rider Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 but runnin mx with rocket pipes is like masturbating with a cactus + cactus = awesome way of putting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Really doens't make sense to me to run a high rev pipe for mx no matter what gearing you use. It still takes more time to reach the "meat" of the power band with high rev pipes. Not benefical on a MX track where you are continously on and off the trottle. You would have to keep the motor running at a higher rpm all the time. I don't think that would be an easy task on most MX tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Anyone do MX with rocket pipes? 391284[/snapback] No, you would NOT want Rockets for mx. Stay with a midrange or low/mid pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassionRE Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) 250RHater, thats not you pipes killing them in the tights, its your porting, same on the straights Any MX port that is worth a crap will run fine on Rockets...problem is the physical size of the pipes themselves that creates the problem. As for gearing vs. pipes etc. etc. The best MX combo in most cases is a port job that will make excellent torque OFF the pipe and come on like a drag motor ON the pipe. This allows broad tractable power in the tights with enough acceleration to clear traffic for the next set-up for the turn. It also allow you to run taller gearing so your not shifting your ass off and not always looking for the right gear for the circumstance, not to mention with such broad power, youve reached enough wheel speed so when that drag motor acceleration kicks in your not going sideways down the track. Some drag pipes work good for this set-up as long as your porting isn't gutless down low like alot of what Ive seen.....Jim Edited December 24, 2005 by PassionRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
