Don't you have a 35mm Air Stryker? I thought you said you did already? At any rate, my 35mm isn't the Air Stryker model and it's not new in box. It came off of a KDX200 dirtbike, but I cleaned it completely and everything is in perfect working condition.
That looks Bad Ass! I wonder why they did'nt open them up a bit more from factory??
No Im have a OKO 30MM. Good price But I want new and would def have to be air stryker. Thanks though.
so you would feel that low end hit real hard and think you got sumthin for all that money
might as well go back to a stock choked down pipe to match your new choked down intake
IMO, in stock form, they go against everything we strive to achieve on these bikes, getting as much air/fuel into, and out of the motor, if you increase the flow into it by porting, you should match that with equally flowing intakes/carbs and pipes
sounds to me...you just went from 8 quarter sized reed openings to 4 dime sized ones, just doesn't add up to me
i dont understand how a stock cage would flow like a vforce cage ported or not the vforce is going to have way more tip area
Why? It's just a matter of surface area that can flow through. I'm just going off my own first hand experience running both of them.
the vforce is the only ones with a 4 pedal design instead of just 2 giving them more tip area from what i know
I personally don't know how big the openings are between the two, but the quantity of them is pretty irrelevant for any reason other than for purposes of velocity.
Ass dyno FTW (sarcasm). I know on Quadracers Vforce 2 and 3 produce more power than the Rad valve. Same goes for Banshees. I'm selling the Rad valve from my LT. The thing is too restrictive with it's tiny 39mm ID intake.
WHOA first hand experience??? whats that?? lmfao!!! i thought it was better to just assume and blabber about stuff you have never tried.... I:I
I can agree with this statement, there is a couple more reasons I went with the rad valve too. I dont have to put blobs of RTV on it to get it to seal like the Vforces. This newer design eliminated the stock intake boot, (which eliminates another area to leak) and if you want to go to a larger carb, I don't have to worry about buying a $65 intake boot, I just get the larger connector with clamps ,which I did, from boysen for $12. I did plan on Modding this valve at some point, to achieve better flow, but I want to run it stock for a season so I can give it a fair shake on performance and do a report on it. I'm not looking to be the fastest out there, but I don't think I'll have any new problems tryin to keep up with ya. I'll always be a couple lengths behind , for safety purposes- Heeeheee!
Also cost twice as much to rebuild as my Rad valve reeds. And you can run individual two stage pedals instead of the one two stage larger one as the rad valve comes with, I have discussed this with Boysen, and they have given me great feedback! Oh Ya They are located in PA too!!!
