unless its a 2 joke, sorry to say but ive owned them and so has my family basically their whole life and with regular maintenance they are not reliable

 

just shut your mouth while you are ahead....I highly doubt your rappy is a lot more reliable. And if you did have some problems, then sorry you had bad luck, because everyone else is having good luck.

 

I wish people will read the whole post before they make any comments.

I said a STOCK Predator will not make 60HP. This means as you get it from the show room floor. Even with new jets, and exhaust and a new air cleaner it will not make 60 HP.

If you change the piston, cams, gas flow the head and start doing other motor work, then I said it IS possible to make that motor have 60 HP.

Please read carefully what I say. I actually agree with you guys when it comes to a modified predator.

I did some more math. If you like to make 60HP with a predator, you need the following. A new performance exhaust and air cleaner. At least a 12.5:1 or higher compression piston. Run race or very high octane fuel. Turn the 500cc motor into a 560cc motor, change the cams and gas flow the head to get more air into it. You might also need to change the carb. Then you need to make max HP at 8000 RPM to get close to the 60HP. If you are running a smaller motor capacity you need to rev much higher to get 60HP.
