INFO ON CHEETAH CUB


Recommended Posts

do not know much about this kit, wondering how does it work and is it for drag bikes only, i mostly ride desert and dunes with stock swingarm length, i want to continue utilizing my stock crank, my 89 shee has the following coolhead with 22 domes, toomey t-5's, k&n pod filters, lightened flywheel from duncan racing, durablue axle, +2 a-arms, desert tank boyesen pro reeds, stock carbs 310 main jet, considering purchasing vforce 3 reeds and 20 domes for my cool head, also will i need larger carbs with the cub motor, looking for displacement to be either 392 or 409 whichever is recommendes for desert and dune riding...thanks ...

You will need larger carbs, probably 35's

Cpi or Shearer Pipes

at least a 4 swing arm

 

 

I have 4 mil cub with 33PWK's and +2 for a dune bike. Awesome setup. You will need to true and weld your stock crank, so I would just replace and and get a 4 mil the first time and do it right... Probably better with larger carbs but it's enough for me with the 33's for now. I'm loving the +2, but at the hill a +4 would be more ideal (depends what you like but definately not stock IMO). Fortunately for me I don't care about drag racing much, its all about the dunes and I love to wheelie around the bowls on command. I was skeptical on the +2 but I don't think I'm going to change it anymore. Might as well go with the larger displacement.

 

You will also need new domes if you go BB.

89bansheemx,

 

you need to do some research about the cubs, they are a topend motor. you would probly be much more happy with a differant setup if your not doing mostly drag racing. start digging up the old posts. there has been a million conversations about this already that will give you all the info you could ever want to know. once you understand a little more then you will be able to make the right choice on your motor

thanks for the advice, i think i will stick with porting, since i am not much of a drag racer, like duning and desert riding...

 

 

If you get a 4 mil cub though you should have more lowend than a stock motor. I don't drag much and I still love my cub....Total Dune bike setup here but lots of power to pass the 450's at the hill as well.

 

I do wonder if I will lose some response or lowend switching to 35's to get a few more HP. I may have to keep my eyes open for new carbs but it does run fine with 33's! 39's would give me more topend for sure, but like I said this is a dune bike so I like my responsiveness...
