Just curious to see what some of you guys are running! and how do you like it?
For the past 13 years or so I have been running a CT package. Mild port, CT pipe ( not the pipe that exits by your feet) a modified keihen PJ carb, and modified head, with pyramid reeds. So much better than stock and bulletproof. Its power is more MX like. Broad snappy torque power. For the dunes I would like higher revs. Pipe is strong bottom to mid but not a screamer. Had CT rebuild lower end with new seals bearings and some new gears last year but I have not had it back in bike since then. Solid build but not a high HP set up either.
I am in the process now or restoring the entire quad and will be going with different set up . Have Q 2.0 pipe and will be going with modified mikuni, vforce reeds, and modified cool head. I may or may not change the porting.
Twin turbos, nitro methane, and a 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor for hyper-drive.
(shameless plug--I will probably be selling the Pipe, reeds,Carb, and head en the near future)
all stock. Just a pipe. haha

Nice! I'm running a CT built motor as well! my porting is mixed between CT's and Trinity's stage IV, bored to a 540, 39mmPWK, V-force 3 reeds, fuel customs intake, and the CT outlaw pipe(exits by the foot).
all stock. Just a pipe. haha
Still a 500! haha so it's still beasty!
I just realized this was in the 500 forum. So my statement stands, all stock, just a pipe
I got a used '87 w/ a poor fitting air filter. The motor was tired and hammering on it the first time I had it out at glamis, it dropped a piston skirt.

Not wanting to relive that I had the engine gone thru. Fresh crank/brgs/seals/oem rod kit w/ welded pin, 87mm Wiseco piston windowed, powerhead w/ squish modified, ported cyl, 41pwk & stock reeds for now. Been babying it until today. Neighbors were cool no

thank you
88 Cool Head (dome cut by Bartlett Racing). 540cc. Dune port. V2 reeds. 48 alky lectron. Dr Q V2 pipe. Havent rode it yet. Still building but think its gonna be a good running bike.
89 with a Bartlett Racing dune porting 42.5 mikuni carb v force 3 reeds aaen pipe will be going to a q pipe soon. the motor runs strong
How much better are the mikuni carbs over the PWK?? just curious. Nice builds btw!
they are all stock, with just bolt on's..
isnt that right Fred... lol
Cases are machined for steel bearing inserts; transmission gears back cut, cryo treated & micropolished; Barnett 9 disk clutch; RM-250 wrist pin bearing; billet piston thrust washers; dune ported & reinforced cylinder; O-ringed Cool Head; V Force 3 reeds; and a VM44 carb.
It keeps me happy....
.... Untill next season....
