eldreder Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well, I blew my top end this year riding some trails in baldwin, MI. and now I'm ready to get serious. my bike is mostly stock ( t5s stock carbs, shaved stock head, ported stock stroke) i plan on buying a serval kit that comes with the cylinders and pistons and domes and all that good stuff, but other than that i'm not sure what all else i'll need. currently i plan on needing 4 mil crank 28 pwks cool head different pipes ideally and a driveline stealth lockup is there anything else important that i'm missing out on?

okbeast Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Looks like a good start. You don't necessarily need a 4mil crank, you can build a stock stroke serval but of course the 4mil will be better if you can afford it. Depending on what type of riding you want to do with it you might want to go with a bigger carb. And don't forget bigger intakes for those carbs.

eldreder Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 yeah, i wasn't sure how big i need to go on the carbs, i like low end, but don't want to sacrifice high end for low end or vice versa, idk what size carb would be the best all around. i figure i might as well go 4mil while i have it all apart or i'll kick myself later haha, also, i have chariot billet reed cages and billet intakes for stock carbs, will those fit the 28s or not?

okbeast Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 You could probably squeeze 28mm carbs into the stock intakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 You could probably squeeze 28mm carbs into the stock intakes. It can be done Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldreder Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 i need new boots anyway cause my stock ones are cracked. will bigger boots fit stock intakes or not? also i thought i would need a lockup for this setup but i was just reading and it sounds like i shouldn't, is that right?

I live I michigan and ride mostly trails. I have a 421 serval with r2 pipes and 35mm pwks and love it. I still have tons of power down low. Neither the pipes or carbs took away from any low end in my opinion. Although I haven't been on a different setup on this motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotta_goatsfast Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Dont forget your suspension. I wouldn't want to run a serval with stockish suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldreder Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I've got stellar +2+1arms with works triple rates and a stock length stellar swing arm but the rear shock could use a revalve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastassbanshee96 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 That's good to hear, what's your clutch setup? I just have the F.A.S.T clutch kit with 6 heavy springs. Seems to hold up pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldreder Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Awesome. I have the driveline hd with all heavy springs. I'll give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas h. Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Pancake bearing , pro mod tranny, shift star, if your going to shearers or similar then you will want a pair of air striker 35mm at some point. Billet impeller , dual pingle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Awesome. I have the driveline hd with all heavy springs. I'll give that a try. I'm already 3 seasons on my driveline, it is violent with all hd springs, and running springs that heavy is just un nesaccary. That is part of the glory of a lock up. Not only does it make sure that bigger motors do not slip the clutch, but it allows you to run much lighter springs as well. Keeps the ol' forearm from getting worked. All the drag guys will tell you that you dont NEED the lock up. But if you can foot one do it. This is the pattern I use for my 4 mil 12 port. Just a touch more progressive on the lock up and allows it to work smoother. My spring set is the Barnett 3 soft and 3 medium set. Feels incredible with my ASV lever.
