Leadfoot350 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 you can get the 10mm and run low compression and stock timing to mellow it out if its too much for you. I would go with the 10. 4mm is not that much bigger than stock and 400 bucks for 5% increase in power is not worth it to me. Really being that you are new to the sport you should just get your stock cylinders ported and see how you like that. Its not going to be as fast as a 200hp super bike but if you really wanted something like that you would have bought a cr500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a builder in mind you might want to contact them and see what they suggest would fit your needs. I have seen alot of 4mill cubs running strong in the dunes and on the trails in the dunes. I know there is alot of guys on here who ride there cubs with short swingers like you are talking about. But I wouldn't want to be on a 10 mill cub unless it had a +8 arm. Your body weight and frame setup is going to play a big factor. Since you are experienced with high horsepower bikes you understand that a smaller motor in a proper setup frame can out perform a big motor in a poor frame setup. And if you plan on running long fireroads on a 10 mill to be safe you might have to run a pump to keep from melting the top end down.

A cub likes fuel and on wide open runs down a fireroad you might have a issue on a big motor running the bowls dry. That is what I meant by melting down. Sorry for the confusion.

You could put a 7mm in stock cylinders just cutting the domes and more worth the money. just my 0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY-SHEE! Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 OOOK! well! nobody ever freakin told me that! O.o ok.. imma go with the 7 mil then.. geese.. thats important info bro... thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot350 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I have a 7mm stock cylinders. Run a stock base gasket size and set your port timmings from there. You have to use a stock base gasket and run the piston out of the cylinder or your transfer port timmings will be way too high. Also you must run 795 pistons. Mine runs great. PM me if you need a great, cheap builder who can do a two week turn around time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have run several different strokes with stock cylinders and it probably isn't worth the effort anymore. I do all the work myself and it still winds up costing alot of cash compared to a cub engine.

06BaNsHeE Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I wouldnt say that its cheaper than stock cylinders.My buddy had a 7mm stock cylinder with an overide,Big carbs,Stock head on race gas and that thing ran HARD.Would beat most 4mm cubs and 5mm cubs.

FireHead Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I wouldnt say that its cheaper than stock cylinders. I would. If I were to make up a number, I would say that you would have $500 less into a comparable cub project. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BaNsHeE Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I was going to build a 7mm stock cylinder but then I just went with a cub.I spent around 3500.I ONLY went with the cub because my builder says cubs are more reliable.Oh yeah im going to be trail riding it too.He says cubs run alot cooler becuase they hold more water?????Dont know how true that is I dont know much bout cubs.But he trail rides his big cubs all day long.NO tight stuff everything is wide-open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
