locogato11283 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I say bigger is better. Go with more power now because you will want it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springer Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 reliability is all in the care that goes into building it and then maintaining it from there. if built right, most motors will be as reliable as any other. as far as which motor... if budget allows, bigger is always better in my opinion.

Trick2stroke Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 If you are serious about the build you will be best off calling at least one or two of the site sponsors who build and test these very set ups every day. Simply from some of the dyno charts I've seen posted the cheetah PV is just a bigger more powerful (and more expensive) Serval set up. If you have the cash to drop I would no questions asked go with some big ass pv cylinders. Just be mindful that with more power comes more mods required to utilize it (trans, clutch, crank etc..) Really and truly you will overpower your suspension very quickly also, so that expense I would take into account. I tend to build my bikes suspension first, IMO it's more fun to be able to exhaust all the power the bike has and still be able to ride it rather than being on a rocket that only goes straight on a smooth surface well.
