Banshee_Guy Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Im setting my bike up a little different this year! Going to be racing the 1.5 hours FMSQ touring Quebec Canada! I was thinking of the cheetah cub or the vitos monoblock 404, both using a 4mm stroker 5mm long rod. Has anyone ever tried these set up for this type of racing? What kind of rad protection does everyone use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheePQ Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 i suggest you a setup with a very easy to ride and smoot powerband..... you better invest in high tech suspension and steering damper for this king of event...... I raced couple of one fmsq event last year and biggest problem is to ride at my 90% during 1.5hrs... and think about oversize tank depend on your setup!.....if you need more advice contact me on my msn: skattrack@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QC banshee Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 The fmsq events are everywhere in quebec approximately 1 to 3 hours away from you in ottawa, definitely worth the trip too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride mine long and hard in the woods and it takes everything I can give it. To me anyone can trail ride a four stroke, I still want one for my wife.

The big bore should give you the powerband your looking for. Then, get some FMF Fatty pipes to mate them to. Good broad power in a setup like that. Then look for some +2 a-arms for the front and nice axle for the rear. Not sure how wide you'll be racing in but if it's somewhat open, run stock offset fronts, if it's tight, get some 4-1 fronts to narrow it back up a little. The wider a-arm, narrow offset will get you handling really well, eliminate bumpsteer and work great. Then get some nice shocks, get Elkas since they're a canadian company. get a good steering dampener and with that, you'll be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
