are quadrajet carburetors any good?

The truth is, a properly tuned Quadrajet can be just as efficient and reliable as a bolt-on substitute performance carburetor. ... The Quadrajet has many model designations; the most adaptable units were designated as 4M, 4MC and 4MV, and most were rated at 750cfm until 1972 when their rating was increased to 800cfm.

Lunati cams are quality items with good engineering and performance. A lot of east coast guys bought them. They were so successful Holley bought them out a few years ago as part of their Systemax approach to integrated performance parts to go with their carbs and intakes.

The VTEC engines made a lot of power for their relatively small size, they had excellent fuel economy given the power, throttle response is great (especially compared to turbocharged cars), they're sturdy and last a long time and if someone does want to add turbos it's possible to add gobs of power without the engines ...

This carb is amazing, it provides more power all over the power band. I would recommend this for any body looking for more power and a good low end with a engine with at least 250cc. So if you have a Yamaha Blaster and you're looking for a upgrade, I would suggest going with a 35MM PWK AS.

Not comparing any specific engine, no, KTM engine are no where close to Honda or Yamaha. ... It's not that KTM can't give you that reliability, it's just they don't want to spend that much and charge the customer for the same. They are good at the level they are as of now, in that same price.

It has enough power to ride in city and good riding position. Comes with single channel ABS. The seat is very good and Yamaha went back to single seat which I prefer rather than split seat and also made the rear seat wider. Upgrades are very good and you should buy it right away before the price changes.

DBA rotors are great. Used them (old slotted design, replaced now by the T2 model?) in track cars doing a collective 1000-1800 laps a day. No issues other then warping if the car has been sitting too long after coming in hot. This would happen on any rotor.

They are also lighter so it helps the quad rev faster. On the other hand, when i moved to PA, I found that the 4 ply tires do puncture much easier on really rocky terrain so i had to run the 6 ply tires. 4 ply is lighter and 6 ply is heavier, I wouldnt run a 4ply unless your racing MX-too easy to puncture.

Caltric offers an impressive line up of aftermarket replacement starters, ignition and charging systems for bikes, quads, sleds etc. They also have a poor reputation, components failing after a few hours etc. Cheap is not always good. Save up for some Dynateks and only buy them once.

Quadrajet would be any day better than TDI. Quadrajet (1.3 multijet from FIAT) is technologically far superior than TDI, in terms of mileage and NVH. The parts though are bit costlier than TDI (filter etc.) You would get a very refined engine with Quadrajet as compared to TDI.

Conclusion. AFE Power seems like a good company overall. The product compliments do outweigh the complaints. The company seems to be very passionate about providing cold air intake systems, and other performance parts for all budgets.

Kymco on the other hand is an excellent buy. They've made motors for honda and yamaha under license in the past. Usually they have less features and are more value based, but simple and reliable.

Don't get me wrong, they're very good, no doubt far superior compared to the originals. However, I've been a longterm fan of Bosch Super 4's (got Stu DemonD to get them ), and after taking them out and putting the IX's in, I've noticed the following: PRO - Improved fuel economy round town.

IMO it's worth it just for peace of mind. As long as your tuner is reputable, you will gain power, driveability, maybe some extra fuel economy and as long as it's not tuned to the ragged edge it should be reliable. Tuning really unlocks the potential. Otherwise you're just scratching the surface.

It's a very good value and it also offers the convenience of dual fuel. But if you need a really powerful machine but want the absolute best product out there for your buck, the Pulsar PG10000B is probably the generator for you.

Judging from the loyalty of Buell owners, the last generation of the 126,000 bikes produced by Buell are solid, reliable rides that will probably outlast most of their owners. ... For a motorcycle in that price range, excellent. Let's start with the good stuff — torque and handling.

I really can't objectively say much bad about the buggy. Fit and finish are great, the trans ratios are just right, the ride is incredible and it's just too much fun. We climbed some very steep roads covered with loose rock with no problems. The engine has huge torque - it would pull hard at as low as 2000RPM.
