hey, just got home from a wonderful day of riding! had almost no probloms all day! the only problom i had was when i got it opened up on flat or incliened ground it was bogging out! i went to the shop and the guy said it was my airfilter! he ordered one i should get it wensday! but it is running good now! i ran it all day and when i went down an incline it would get opened up and stay for a while! also, when i let it sit for 10 min. it would do good for about 20.

 

you have any picture of your 4-wheeler?

What are the specs?

I've never seen a cyclone before

 

I hope the dealer didn't order you an OEM Polaris filter! Polaris Cyclones are pretty unique! They were made in '87 and that was the only year they were made! Where as all of the 250cc 2 strokes (except Cyclone) before '88 produced 22 hp@6000 rpm, the Cyclone had 30 hp@7,000 rpms! The next closest machine horsepower wise that Polaris produced was the '88 Trailboss R/ES which had 27 hp@6,600 rpm! The Cyclone had SEPARATE brakes, not the single lever brakes like what are used on the newer ones! Polaris said that the single lever brakes are more effective than the separate controlled ones! Can you believe that! I wish they would have stuck to that design throughout the years!

 

hey you seem to know a lot about my cyclone! do you know how much a new control arm and shock would cost?

 

I do not know what the price of the bottom a-arm is because I've never priced one. As for the shock, expect to pay around $50 each. This is only the black shock itself, which sits inside that strut cover. Keep in mind that this price may not be what you find, since it depends on the dealers. Also, make sure your other shock is in good condition, because if you buy only one new one and the other is shot, your handling and suspension will be so bad that you won't want to ride. Usually you replace both shocks at a time, but if your other one is in good condition and works good you shouldn't have to.
Another unique thing about the Cyclone is the clutch engagement is extremely high on it. The Trailblazers use a blue/green primary clutch spring, scramblers white, and the Cyclone uses a brown, which is above purple, green, yellow, pink, and orange (in the order of least strength to greatest strength). Pleasure, how much throttle do you have to give it before the clutch engages? Must be a lot.

 

i dont have to give it much gas once the clutch ingadges! but, as you said, i have to give it almost half to get it going! thanks for your help!

 

I have searched online for pics of a Cyclone no luck. I would really like to see one. They sound cool. What color is it?

 

im going to take a picture with my digital camera soon! right now it's white blue and green! but tomarrow im getting new fenders.. im not sure what color there going to be.
