What quads do you run ? merged w/other poll

[SRV540]

I am just wondering how many peple here runs quads on their V4 and if so please specify type,jetting and what type of fuel you use.


I myself Run Bender Quads with 145 mains carbs bored 3mm and trail porting....@ sea level. I run Premium gas from local shell station.

[Lewis]

PSI Quads here, haven't gotten them on yet, sled is still a work in progress, if it helps any though, last year when running stock (I think) I ran some pretty questionable gas through it, and the gas I'd buy from the station was always 85-87 octane, regular at whatever gas station I was filling a tank with.

[fastmax]

I use the 137.5 at sea level -5C (My home in Fort Mcmurray). Where I ride in the mountains,the altitude ranges from 5000-7100 feet and I use 130 mains.(My avitar pic is at 7100 feet) What works for me may not work for anyone else. It depends on your Quality of fuel.

1995 800 with Aaen pipes, 143.8 jets, 93 oct. pump gas and can hold it wide open for a mile with no issues. Alot more power than stock pipes. Motor has never been apart.

[VMAX80096]

I run PSI traiblasters with internal silencers, gutted airbox, jetted 155,152.5,152.5, 155...173hp at 8800....if you open up the airbox you gain hp also and have to jet up because of less vacuum draw...like taking your airbox off and running filters..egts are between 1200 and 1250 at 1000ft elevation around -15C, ON PREMIUM FUEL.....and I have perfect wash.....would I make more power running race fuel can't see it!

[SRV540]

wow...so you seem to be making HP with those PSI's with big jets an premium fuel!!!!!:sheep

[Brakes]

Started with RPC pipes,AAen tore them down made the expansion chambers smaller and built new silencers,I welded the rest up with 1" pipe & 1 1/16 stingers. carbs @ 37mm with 47.5 pilots & 157.5 mains to run @ 10000 rpms.
180 twist and radical porting.

You dynoed this? You notice a slight difference in colouring on the outside barrels with modblasters, i wonder if it was more signifigant with the trailblasters because of the silencers causing the staggered jetting.

[AL P]

I could be way off here. but do ya think it would be a good idea to add a poll to this thread about what pipes you have, and what you run with them? the reason I`m saying this, is because someone could post what they run thier pipes on without getting thier name involved. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I`m just thinking some people may not feel comfertable posting thier info on the pipe vs what fuel, vs performance ect. we could just start out with what pipes ya run, on what fuel. here`s an example.
POLL.
1.PSI quads & a race fuel mix
2. PSI quads & pump premium.
3 bender quads & a race fuel mix.
4. bender quads & pump premium
5 AAen quads & a race fuel mix
6. AAen quads & pump premium.
7. RPC quads & a race fuel mix
8. RPC quads & pump premium.

if someone wanted, they could still of course post thier exact info, or opinions, but this seams like it would be a good way to maybe get everybody to post, that other wise may not want to get involved. if that makes any sence?
So good idea, or bad?
And one last thing, if your not running pipes right now or have`nt ran them personaly on your own sled, you CANT vote.
so there should`nt be anybody including me, that votes just because what they think might be right or wrong. I wont be voting!

reguardless what some poeple say, I`ve found that with my oginization, that raising your hand, was`nt working anymore, so we had to start giving an anonimous voting option, because sure as poop, someone would get an attitude towards someone that did`nt agree with them. so I implimented a poll for most of the voting that we have to do on a monthly basis. so i just thought maybe it would be a good idea in this case, as it seams to be pretty touchy subject these days.

[SRV540]

I would like to see that as well:goodp: :agree:

[racer7x]

What quads do you run ?

[AL P]

I`m not able to add a poll to a thread started by someone else, if you wanted to put the poll in this thread, you`d have to do it.
if you do, maybe you could edit in advanced mode, and add "POLL" to the tittle of this thread. let me know, and if ya dont want to do it, but still want to have a poll, I`ll do it in a new thread. but it would be cool if it was in this one. I`ve never posted a poll before, but it does`nt seam like it would be too hard to figure out. maybe rdl or racer7x could help?
unless ya already know how to do it?

thanks racer7x.
i need to hurry up and get my pipes on, and test it, so i can vote. :D

hauck howlers?

[SRV540]

Mods, could you add Hauck howlers to the POLL??????

[POWERSHACK]

what if i have 3 vmax-4 with quads. I ONLY GET ONE VOTE???? LOL

2- BENDER QUADS 50/50 MIX
1- HAUCK HOWLERS RACE GAS ONLY " C-12 "

POWERSHACK

[AL P]

I hear what your saying, but to have the poll make sence, you should only get one vote. say for example, somebody (I know this quite an exageration but..) had 10 vmax4`s, and ran only pump premium, well if they got 10 votes, it would make it look like alot more people run pump premium that what really does. see what i mean. it would kinda take away from the point of the poll.
it could end up something like 13 pump premiums, and 3 race fuel mix. and that would be kinda mis leading. when actually half of the voters (members running quads) prefer pump premium, and half of the voters prefered a race fuel mix.

[SRV540]

15 votes so far keep em comming guys!

[ghodder]

Been running the PSI Trailblasters for several years ... had some issues getting the right jetting ... now running 150 mains across the board and will not consider jetting lower based regular plug reading.

[Big Willie Style]

Have run RPC Twins in the past ran real good but was pretty loud, now have PSI Quads. I have only put approx. 3 miles on sled since the quads were installed. Lost intrest in the sport and no longer ride.

whats you elevation? and I take it your on pump gas?

Bender quads, no idea what jets are in it, but will be running a 50/50 mix of race and prem when I can and take it easy on the throttle when I can't.

nice HP gain on the 750, with the psi pipes and Pump gas!!!!!

[SRV540]

This is an open forum is it not???? ha ha

[SRV540]

Hey Yammiman, if this thread bothers you so much, ask one of the mods to delete it????? to much!

[AL P]

SRV540. I would really apreciate it, if you would lay off the comments ect.
I dont want to see this thread get deleted myslef, and your not helping.
I`m trying to pick up a few things from what people are posting that they are running, and with what results, plus, I`m getting an idea of how many people are running a race fuel mix vs pump premium. now does this tell me anything about who`s right or who`s wrong? NO, as has already been posted, its likely due to differant reasons ie. racing, trail riding, long distance runs, ect.. I just want to collect as much opinions,/info on the pipe, gas, jetting subject as posible, to make a decision myslef. so please lay off it.
we really dont need any gas added to the fire right now. a long time well respected member has already quit the site (hopefully not for long) over this issue. so to continue to make any kind of comments that may re start the argueing, is really not needed. Thanks, and dont take this the wrong way, I`m not trying to lay into ya, but just Dont want to see anymore negativity right now. Thanks AL

yeeah no problem AL, but apperantly this tread is useless

[vmax4rules]

PSI quads on both of my 800's pump premium fuel.
132.5 mains on one and 131.3 mains on the other.
Both sleds have Dial a Jets and one has a thin head gasket mod.
500-1500' in elevation groomed trail riding.

[4with4]

Aaen quads, V-force reeds, stock air boxes, 132 mains, vari-flo, single layer head gasket, Shell bronze commercial grade (dyed) fuel when at home, pump premium when away. Dyno at 183 hp at 8800 rpm. Jetting at 132 is good to -20C (-2F). I'm at 3000' above sea level. I've never had a burn down or detonation issue.

PSI Mod Blasters race fuel mixture.

Go ahead and run em on the trails with all pump gas and jetted for best performance guys, your local Yamaha Dealer will love taking your parts order over the phone, have your CC ready. One temp dip, lake run, 15~20% ethenol fillup (Premium my AZZ, they get that octane rating due to the oxygen in the ethenol - Fine four 4 stokes, B-A-D 4 2 stokes). At least Alan runs dial-a jets so he can make a change if he gets caught in a situation. You other guys carry jets in your pockets? Hey, not saying you can't run pump but you will have to run fat to be safe and then there is still a limit. You push it one time because you have not burned down yet and you'll be posting your ass off on here, only a matter of time...Blue

[nate b]

I carry jets with me. I also have to change them quite often. my friends hate riding with me because before I go out, I have to do a couple plug chops and if its not perfect gotta change em. I really need dial a jets or something. I'm starting to know hich ones I need with the temps so its getting easier.

How about we all keep an open mind and look at some facts.
Take a 92 add thick base gasket, window piston, Bender twin pipes put it on the Dyno:

RPM TQ HP (best)

8000rpm -- 99tq --- 150hp with 140mj

Now richen the main jet 141, 142, 143..

8000rpm --- 96tq --- 147hp with 145mj

So you can jet up 4 jet sizes to a very safe jetting and only lose 3hp at peak HP rpm.

BUT, what does happen with rich jetting is you can fall off “pipe” quicker. If your clutching is off and you over-rev, your WAY off your peak power. Same sled as above, over-rev hp:

8500rpm --- 68tq -- 111hp with 140mj

8500rpm --- 55tq --- 89hp with 145mj

A Vmax with poor clutching at rich jetting will give up 22hp to the leaner jetted sled at 8500rpm.
But the lean jetted sled shifting at 8500 is giving up 36hp!! to a rich Vmax that’s clutched correctly at 8000rpm.

So should we run our jetting on the edge?
Or run it rich and realy spend time cluching it?

[racer7x]

run it rich and really spend time clutching it?

Here's my vote.

[micultra]

PLEASE!!!!Leave this post up!!! It's gonna take this brain surgeon (me) a LONG time to desifer all this info

[AL P]

Seams it would make more sence to say. "if you run your pipes with a race fuel mix, do you use your sled primarily for racing"
just a thought,
