az_dude Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is there such thing as a 477 cheetah? I came up on this on craigslist and the guy said he will take 2200 for it, im not sold on it because he doesn't have a title for it either. What do you guys think? here's the craigs link http://tucson.craigslist.org/mcy/2195102813.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEE HP Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 its prolly a 472cc, says it need new pistons... theyre like 175 per piston, it may need new nikasil(225-250), may need new domes 70 or so. a 472 cheetah with fmfs is a good clue that the bike is not properly put together, along with the needing new pistons.

az_dude Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ya I figured that much why have a race motor with an all around pipe. What size crank would this have in order to be a 472? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ya I figured that much why have a race motor with an all around pipe. What size crank would this have in order to be a 472? I have a 472. It's a 4mil 72 bore. Or you can go bigger. It might be a 72.5 bore. A 73 bore is the 485 and the 73.5 bore is the 492. But if he was trying to run an FMF pipe on that motor....he surely built way too much heat into it. It might have run for a while, but not all day. Heck for an offer of $2,000 you might get a great deal. On the other hand....you might literaly get a steal. Whatever it is, it's going to need new domes, because ALL the 4mill cheetahs come with a incorrect dome design. Buy it and part it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_dude Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ya I'm really thinking about buying it and fixing it. Or worst case scenario part it out and break even. I am not to sure but I think that this guys might have been running a different pipe and threw the fmf's to sell it. If it's not sold by this weekend I'm gonna drive out to check it out and see it first hand. Thanks for the comments guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

az_dude Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I tried to drive up to go see it on friday but the guy told me that it was at his friends house and that he wasn't able to go show it. I guess the guy is not that desperate to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
