Here's some fun pixs, one shows the exhaust (sort of)

Hopefully only the bigger Yerf valves are needed. The KPX has a smaller combustion chamber and subsequently more compression. So I'm hoping to be able to put the larger valves in the smaller combustion chambered head. After Halloween, I find out if it's possible. If not, then I'll be putting on a whole Yerf head, and decking the cylinder and head to get the compression back.

 

The 4x133 pattern is the same as the Kawasaki Bayou. Which limits your wheel selection. I've found that the easiest way to convert to a more common pattern is bolting on a set of Raptor/Banshee/YFZ hubs. Which have the same splines. Making the pattern a 4x115. They can be found on ebay for $15-25 a pair.

 

Nice pics. I wish my local riding spot had that much greenery.

 

Checked on ebay, they look kinda pricey.
I may try locally.
Will probably just drill out some existing rims off something else. Ive done it before,
just print out on computer and mark centers with punch.

I guess I'll start chopping weight off the buggy for a big ride they got going on for this weekend. Goodbye rear rack. Not sure if I will take the fenders off, they didn't seem to do much good in the creek but may work for the mud.

 

Saw a 300cc buggy the other day. They are starting to get to a size that get's me interested!

300 buggy

 

That rollcage cracks me up! looks like one of those toys that when it rolls over, it rights itself!

It also looks a little bigger and heavier. I like the size and turning radius of my little buggy. I'll just have to do a few more mods to keep up with the faster atv's. I probably have as much fun tinkering with it as riding it. I am sure that in the near future someone is going to start racing these and then we will have all kinds of hop up kits and longer travel suspension etc. Maybe raptoraz should start selling head kits, I know I would buy one if it came with everything I needed in one package. A bigger cylinder/piston/cam/head with pipe, jet kit etc. would be nice! I am not sure how much power the CVT can handle, I haven't heard of anyone with problems yet. I know the polaris scrambler has a similar 2-stroke setup in there 90's, it would be nice if they had a 200cc 2-stroke that I could bolt in. You can get a lot more power out of a 2-stroke in a smaller package, and they are easier in my opinion to work on. As it stands now, if I ran into major problems, I could probably buy an entire kids 150 atv shipped to my door for a little over $1000 and yank the engine out and put in on my buggy.


Hey eddie, you still hanging around?
My brothers are going to Paddy's Bluff this weekend.

I've never been, so I am not sure how muddy it gets. I hope the pictures where taken on a really muddy day! Anyway, I think they said they were going Sunday after church if you want to try and make it, it would be nice to ride with another twister.

one more creek picture showing my oldest (this is one of the shallower crossings before getting my rear end soaked)

I have often wondered about pillaging a wrecked Pilot for suspension and motor, and essentually making a 2 seater Pilot.... The world needs something that good in a 2 seater model.

 

cheapass,
i have one of the carter carts that is almost identical to the twisters. i was wondering if you had any information about the guy that put on a new pipe, cdi box and coil. an email adress would be great but any info would be great. if there is anyone else out there that has been able to locate any aftermarket parts online, i would appreciate any information.

 

Which model? Is it the Talon?
