Boost Bottle...worth it??

[RJR677]

Just bought my '91 Blaster and I have it completely disassembled to have the frame, swing arm etc powder coated. While its in pieces, I have been thinking about adding some easy, low dollar mods. I'm thinking reedsand a boost bottle for the engine.

What are everyones thoughts on Boost Bottles??

boost bottles are only good for looks. the hole you drill in your intake manifold cracks and you get an air leak.

as d jackson stated ..boost bottles on a single cylinder with one carb are just for looks. they look kinda trick but do absolutely nothing for performance..to go a little further in explaning why...they were actualy invented for twin or tripple cylinders using multiple carbs (example , snowmobile twins)..it is suppose to ballance out the mixture of fuel/air between the two carburators before it is pulled into the engine and precharge for the next cyccle..some believe it works , some dont.... I have a twin polaris 700 and installing a boost bottle seemd to do nothing, but i ride with guys that are motor heads and they swear by them. but one thing im certain of is on a single cylinder they are absolutely useless. might as well throw your money away

Very well said and exactly right. You mine as well just flush your money down the toilet then buy a boost bottle for your blaster.

thanx bro....yea, they may look kinda neat...but if anyone that actualy knows a little about two strokes see's that thing on your blaster , there gonna ask ya why the hell ya wasted your money

the only reason i have one is because it looks good. i didnt pay anything for it, and i just slid the hose over the intake nipple and drilled no hole.

Sweet thanks thats exactly what i was looking for. I had no idea if they actually worked or not. Glad I asked. How bout reeds??

reeds yes youll notice it makes it a lil more snappy vforce are great but if your not looking to pay $130 get some boyesen for like $40
