The only reason a cub is a top end cylinder is because it is already ported for high end power from the factory. The ports are already cut higher in the cylinder than you would want for a lower end port. You can't add the material back to drop the port timing. The point of using a stroker block was you could cut it down to fit a stock stroke machine, and the side effect of doing this was that the ports would be dropped low enough that it could be ported with lower port timing than the regular stock stroke cub comes with. All I wanted was to hear if anyone had any experience with this procedure. I already know that most people think there are better ways to get more hp, otherwise more people would have done this.

I appreciate your comments, but if you aren't going to answer my question, or are going to reply by saying "you don't want to do that" Then don't reply. I know it would be easier to simply port stock cylinders. I've already had that done on one banshee, and am looking at something different to do for the other one.

Been awhile since I've been on here (started a business, sold it, going back to school now), so I have some spare time again. Anyways, I vaguely remember hearing a couple years back that someone had taken a 4mm cub cylinder and decked the bottom to run it on a stock stroke motor. Doing this allowed them to drop the port timings enough that they could port the motor for a wider/lower end powerband. My question is, does anyone remember this, or has anyone else done it. And if so, how did it turn out?

stock impellers can break/melt since they're plastic. Mine had a ton of fractures in it, after more time it would have fell apart. More of an insurance thing than anything else, if the stock impeller goes, its gonna cost you alot more than the impeller costs in repairs. Does cool better too.

Could be bearings also, that was the first sign I had that tranny bearings were going. But Id say its probably the clutch (basket wear?). I've had the clip fall off the idler gear too (use a new snap ring on it every time). Magnetic drain plug caught all of it (those things are awesome, you'd be surprised at the metal in your oil even when you can't see it).

All I know is the rest of the world uses toyota. 3rd world countries survive on them. They visit the shop less on average than Ford/Chevy/Dodge. My 93 toyota just hit 200k. Its been in 2 wrecks. Never once has it broken down. Never once (besides the body shop) did it ever have to be repaired. Change oil, air filter, spark plugs, timing belt ... do basic maintenance, and it will run forever. I have yet to meet anyone with ANY american truck that made it to 200k without having to put the vehicle in the shop at least once. Just look at the recall histories of Ford/Chevy/Dodge.

Maybe this is a stupid question, as I've never been to Canada. But how will they know you bought it here? Just tell them its yours, you simply took it to the states to go riding, and now you're going back home. From what I've seen crossing the mexican border that would be no problem. Customs agents won't know how to read the VIN numbers to tell where it was sold. Just smear some dirt over it and make it look used. Now if you have to have it registered up there, that may bring up other problems.

Great shocks! I've got a set of PEP triple rates on my shee, and couldn't ask for a better shock. Used to have Works, and I've ridden on about every brand made. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

4 stainless hose clamps.

I've done enough research on this, contacted people, got numbers from people at the airport. Most of what this guy says are the same reasons that everyone else uses. They make some sense logically, but they aren't based on any fact. As for his "heavy end light end" theory: The specific gravity (density, weight per unit volume) of most race gasolines is somewhere in the .700 - .750 range. I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head, but both BP and Shell 100LL AV gas are above .700. So it weighs the same as other race gase, and also won't seperate any more than the next gas. Its not oxygenated either.

Unless they've changed stuff around in the past couple years, don't count on it. I know a person first hand that had a weld crack on the shock mount (fall off is more like it). ASR told him too bad. Wouldn't even look at it.

The only reason I was arguing is that you have no fucking clue what quad Im talking about, or any of the work or parts he put into. I wouldn't have said a fucking word if you had bothered to at least inform yourself before you said something. Every comment you make shows you still don't know anything about the quad. All you focused on is the "50 grand", you just wanted to make somebody look stupid because you don't want to/can't believe that somebody would spend that much money. I've read about it, he posts all over the internet (he's posted on here in the past, I imagine he left cuz of people like you). I never said I knew him. I never said its a fact. You're the one saying its a fact he didn't spend that much when you still don't know a fucking thing about his quad. Who's the know-it-all here?

WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYONE GETTING HUNG UP ON 50 GRAND. WHY DOES EVERYONE INSIST ON ARGUING THE POINT? Read what I wrote. "last i heard it was up around 50 grand". I don't keep his reciepts, I don't know EXACTLY what he spent. My point was to get across how much money a project like this costs. I know he's getting close by now. Now I remember why I don't come here so often. While there are some good people here, there are always some that insist on being completely right about everything, and its like they get to stroke their e-penis by trying to make it look like they are the fucking smartest person on earth. YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING. (firehead does :wink: )

My point is you had no clue what machine I was talking about, you just figured it couldn't happen because you work "in the performance industry". Just inform yourself before you make comments. Titanium axle, busa motor, turbo, EFI system, shocks, custom drag frame. How much you think he paid just for those parts alone? streetshee - sorry for the hijack. If you really want to do it, then go for it. Somebody has to be that guinea pig that dumps his savings into his dream. Prove us wrong :beer:

Before you start spouting off at the mouth like a fucking moron, why don't you at least figure out who I was talking about. The guy I am talking about IS the tuner building it. It is in a full on custom drag frame and I very highly doubt that anyone is making more than the 500+ that the bike Im talking about is. http://www.fireball-racing.com/Videos.htm
