dajogejr Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 I believe there are some problems with carbon fiber reeds and alcahol. I have not tried it myself. Long, Long, Long, Long term maybe....same could be said for race or regular gas too. It's a wear item, they eventually wear out, chip, etc. Quote
sled Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Posted August 22, 2007 bigger carbs ??? i was gonna use pwk 35s. Quote
dajogejr Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 35s on gas are a fine choice for that motor. Air Strykers are a little nicer, run of the mill PWKs are fine as well.. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 arnt the airstrykers more of an mx style design? Quote
bk_banshee Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Simple this is a good motor combo. In fact it is one that I have seen built and make good power It makes sense to use what you have and it sounds your a budget builder like myself. I'd love to go build a 20mil Tripple ..... I don't got the money. the 4mill is nice you won't have to have case work done the cylinders are just fine and you will see a noticible difference from 64mm to 68mm. Reeds can be upgraded slowly you won't need to drop the money there first. It will effect the performance but it allows you to add the power slowly within the budget. If you got the PWK's great but if not look for a set of airstrikers however like others said both will be fine You will need a swinger but that also depends on what paddles you run or want to run and also what kind of riding you do. If you like fighting to keep the wheelies down the a +6 with 10 paddle extreams or 12 paddle haulers but again this is depening on your riding. Personally doing more duning and less dragging I'd do a +6 with 9 paddle extreams, Sure it's under paddled but now it is duneable. if you go to the track every once in a while build a wheelie bar and get a set of 12 extreams for there. JMO but I like the setup. Quote

I belive the reason for the extra tubes on the air strykers is to allow for a more consitant fuel delivery on bumpy ground like a MX track. For hill shooting it will do the same keeping the flow of fuel more constant over the whoops. Which made me remember bigger carbs, more fuel GET a dual Pingle too. Cost add up slowly Quote

JMO but I like the setup. im using this bike for ripping around the coal mine here in PA. i figure the coal here is very lose like sand and in some spots is pretty much sand, so, im trying to build a pretty bad ass motor to rip up and down the hill climbs here. i think this motor will work pretty well. plus i wanna see if i can make this thing kick my CRF450s ass in a drag race. this bike will probably never see a paddle tire besides a realtor.
