Hey gaff what was the price on the 330 kit for your lakota sport?You said you got it from fourstroketech.com.What was the difference you felt in low,mid,and high? What quads can you compete now with the 330 kit installed?Do you know of a web site that sales the whole plastic body frame for the lakota in another color? Id sure like to see a pic of your quad,thanks for your time quad pal.

 

you can get plastic from Maier Plastic.They have all different colors.

 

I paid I believe it was $275 for the kit. It came with 80mm piston, sleeve, rings and head gasket. Then I paid Mr. Ekhoff at wesleeve.com $115 (I think) to remove stock sleeve, bore jug, install new sleeve, and bore new sleeve to 80mm piston.

I did my own porting, valve job and wrenching. I also paid about $50 for upgrading the clutch.

I pressently have a twist throttle (long time biker, lol) and 35.5mm 400EX carb that I'm getting to put on, just haven't had the time to adapt it all.

As far as what it runs with, well thats a tough one. I raced some cross country in the spring and then have been racing MX for about 3 months now. So it's hard to say, I believe I've raced with about everything thats out there except the Z400. I usually can holeshot everything or no further back than 3rd by the first corner, but thats only up to third gear. Most of the time I can get the holeshot thow, think it's more due to the fact of I'm able to get my 230 pound body out over the front to keep it from coming over on me. But in 16 races I have run this year I finished 7th once, was running 2nd but blew a head gasket. All the other races I've either took 2nd, 3rd, or 4th.

It has a ton more power by far, does it equal the big bore quads, no. Can it run or out run them on a track, deffinately. Would I do it again, in a minute.

The 330 kit is what kawi should have made the lakota to begin with. It realy does move very well and as far as bottom end goes, I would put it against any quad. As far as mid to top, it realy needs a different carb. The stock carb keeps it from realy stretching it's legs out, but that can be done cheap as well.

The more power you put to the lakota the better it handles. Tuning the stock suspention has worked for me, I would like better but what I have works for me. The wieght never goes away thow. Although it doesn't bother me due to I have realy come into the lakota well as far as riding and overcoming it's short comings.

Many today rag it, I can tell you down here in the mississippi/louisiana racing circuts I'm very well known. Even the big bore guys fear the lil blue mule. One slip and I'm all over them.

 

gaff are you running stock cams on your machine? and also how did you port and polish the head yourself?

 

I have the stock cam. The lakota doesn't have a bad cam to begin with.

My original plan was to tune the motor with my current mods (not sure if I have them all listed) then get a FST cam. Well threw racing I found what I wanted as far as performance goes and for now the cam is going to stay on hold untill I can get what I want out of the motor and then I'll look at the cam again.

On the mojave and lakota the CVK carbs become the problem when you make it so far. Although they flow very well as far as performance goes a piston type carb would work much better. I have plans to test a couple piston type carbs on each machine, just time has been very little this summer to try them out. I have both a 32mm and 35.5mm piston type carbs, just need time now.

As far as how I ported the head, I still have all my porting tools from my drag racing days.

As what I did. I took the hard road. I just opened it up and then flowed the head by running it, removing the head flow her out a little at a time untill I got what I thought I wanted.
