Upgrading from stock to serval. Is it worth it?


Recommended Posts

Have to agree with Gusto. Send stock cylinders to Cam @ Redline. Spend a few minutes with him and come up with with a build profile. He will make it happen and be there to guide you through the entire process.

 

CALL CAM and do it right.

 

Good luck

Dude where I'm at there is no where to ride. Dirt roads thats about it, and some trails if you find them. It sucks. So yeah I hit up some trails sometimes, but the group around here usually drag.

All the more reason to call Cam !!

I'm pulling my motor this Sunday to send back to ECA for my 4mil. While its out, I have two routes with cylinders.

 

1. Spend 375, get stockers aggressively ported.

2. Spend 1,500 on a ported serval set up.

 

Is it worth the $ to gain a little bit more power.

Go serval, port it aggressively and get the most out of those cylinders otherwise you'll always have the doubt in your mind "I should have gone bigger"- you won't regret the servals I wish I went that route from jump...

If you go stock cylinder, leave it stock bore IMO. Once you bore them out to 66 mm reliability and life expectancy goes out the window.

 

The catastrophic failure I experienced this summer on my 5 mil, 66 mil bore stock cylinder setup was enough to make me decide to have Cam build me a race gas Serval.

 

I have not assembled and rode my Serval yet, so I can't comment on performance yet, but, looking at the way the Serval porting comes cast from the factory it has all of the desired port designs built into its design and in a stronger fashion and has better cooling capacity.

 

In short, with the Serval you will experience more gains everywhere with less compromise to longevity if tuned and cared for properly.

 

This is just my limited $0.02...
