Ruko Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) This thing has been in the works for a few months now but I just got to test my new Cheetah 485 on the weekend. I guess this is kind of a two part review so here goes... first I got all the parts and work done by K&T Performance in Utah. These guys were great. Excelent service, great to deal with and they really seemed to know their stuff. They had it all done right on time and went out of there way to get it shipped to me, as I live in Canada so shipping can be a pain in the butt. There prices were really good as well, which is always a nice bonus. So I would difinately recommend these guys. Check them out http://ktperformance.com/main.htm Now on to part two... What I ended up getting was, Cheetah 485 cyl kit with power valves, Mikuni carbs, and their lock up clutch. I tell you man this thing RIPS... It is awesome!!!! It has all kinds of power everywhere!!! There is this one hill out here that we like to climb that is pretty tricky. It's all sand on the side of a river. Of course it's steep but the hard part is it has a bunch of trees on the hill that you have to go around so you can't just pin it. You're on and off the throttle so normally you have to be very creative with the clutch to keep from dieing out. Well now it's almost too easy... I didn't even have to touch the clutch. It has so much power all through the rpm's I could just get off the throttle to go around the trees then get back on it and it would just come right back from nowhere and keep on pulling. I couldn't believe it!!!!! It pulls like a four stroke on the bottom and screams like a Banshee on top!!!!! And the top end just seems to go on forever. There is a few local shops with dyno's so I am really interseted to see what kind of curve this thing makes. I will post a chart as soon as I get one, but for now I gotta give two great big thumbs up for both Cheetah Power Valves and K&T Performance. Rob Edited May 9, 2005 by Ruko Quote
