Has anyone installed the vortex model and what problems if any did you have?

TIA !

 

bump.

 

I've got one in the garage that I'm going to put on this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. My thumb doesnt last more than a few minutes with these carbs in the dunes.

 

Cool, thanks. Do you know which model you purchased? Also did you get the one for the Raptor or the YFZ?

 

I got the one with the dual cables. I'm still not sure how to hook it up, but I'll figure something out. I got it off ebay so I'm not sure what model it is.

 

Well the dual cable setup is worthless, go single.

Lots of armpump, too much rotation, and inability to vary the throttle and use the front brake at the same time. I'm going to try and spend some more time on it, but my oneway went out this weekend so I've got to fix that first. Pretty easy and straightforward to setup. Seems to require more adjustment than the thumb throttle and the cable to carb mount is poking my tank more so I'm going to throw some shims under it.

Its worth a shot as cheap as they are. Its going to take some getting used to but I think it will be nicer for dune rides and flattrack.

 

From what someone told me - Use the YFZ setup and the vortex model. I have ordered mine last week and should have this this coming week.

I will let you know how they turn out.

I'll just stick to the thumb throttle. LOL.



I'm not on here much...how's it going RaptorOwner?(BTW...my Raptor is down for several upgrades....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] )

 

Not too bad, just trying to get the throttle a little more snappier. I am going to try and make the twist throttle work even if I have to modify some things. How you doing, besides your bike being down? Are you going into the motor?

 

I put a cheap CR throttle on my Raptor with 39s and it works like a champ. One cable, no push-pull. A set of dual 39s has plenty of throttle return spring pressure, my throttle slams shut when I let off the grip.
