Damn , now what can he do with the kangaroo in His back yard?

Prolly the same thing he's been doing with the poor thing. No animal rights groups in AU? I'd understand if it was a sheep or even a goat, but the line needs drawn at marsupials.
 
Lol....

And i moved back home the other week , so maybe i will have one of these soon lol.
 
Now you don't have to fab a manifold to run the sweet as 4v head on a KLX-pattern engine! Designed to run the FCR downdraft, but it's easy enough to mount up a conventional CRF-type big bore manifold, too. CNC-machined intake port and transition piece are typical Tak alumiporn.

going to look mighty pretty on the second gen mutant motor ;-)
 
I hope you washed it first...
You have to know the manner in which it was molested while it was here;)

lmao lil bro asked why all the packages were cut opened. i was like terry had to throughly investigate it. he was like its clear you can see it just fine. i'm like you apparantly dont understand the nature of this scenario. this is one of if not the badest head you can buy for the klx terry had to molest it first. lil bro just looked at me with that what?? look. so i'm like ok maybe this is a better way to explain. im like imagion you get a package with a hot naked gal shes in a clear bag you can see her fine but there is no rules or law that say you can not open and further check her out would you just leave her in the package knowing your not going piss anyone off or get in any trouble. again i just the huh stare. so i showed him the pic you sent with your fingers in the insert and said read. he laughed and goes OOOOO i see why you 2 get along so well now put a shiny head in front of you 2 and you guys cream your panties over it. so i tell him and thats exactly why all the packages are opened lol
 
Maybe you should have used Justin Bieber in your scenario? I'm not judging, I mean, I had an uncle like that.
 
wot carbi is working with these heads?

The head, in this factory-modded form, is made to have an intake boot bolted directly on and a Keihin FRC downdraft (or Mikuni TMR) slipped in. The round entry would allow a "normal" carb and manifold to be mounted rather than the short, odd, strangely angled Tak one. Both of the 4V Tak's I've built, I made a longer conventional manifold for, but they were for MX use, one a 125 class national ATV racer, so they needed the curve broadened a bit. The straight-shot setup would be boobies for a road-racer or Banzai street gooner.

Nar, not a dumb question. Too pricey not to have data to back it up. I've only compared them (via rider feedback) to the +R (V2 is a decent copy, only slightly less power) but found the midrange to be stronger on the 4V, with a decent top end. Feels almost like it falls off on top, but the ones I've done have been manifolded/cammed/ported and/or epoxied, timed for the midrange, intentionally. There are enough cam choices and tuning opportunities to shuffle it in either direction. The 178 was geared slightly tall so it could pull holeshots, Open Classer style. It does. The 125 had a lame shifter failure and was forced to run 2 of 4 laps at a National event stuck in 3rd. Didn't lose a position, just had to use a bit of clutch in the tight and wring it's neck on a few longer straights.

I haven't personally dyno'd them or even seen one run. I just do what I do, and stick 'em in a big box, post them away. I usually have a decent idea of how it'll run, jetting, etc. They add oil, tune carb up or down a jet size for local variations.
 
yes i am finding mid range stronger also and top end a lil slower ...but or engines hasnt even been ported or polished and we still playing with carbis
