. but they look pretty cool untill then lol
^^^^ bahaha... that funny... they really only show any improvement on dual carb systems like banshees where they can help equalize and maintain pressure in the engine... or something like that... just a waist of money
Some old yamaha bikes came from the factory with a boost bottle on them and it was designed to work on them, but i dont think the boost bottle will work well on a bike that was not designed for it..
It was proven they don't work on banshees either. I remember years ago someone did a dyno comparison on Bansheehq between boost bottle, stock cross over tube and plugged holes. The plugged holes made the most power.
thats right, never understood what they feel it would do for a single cylinder.....
Boost bottles provide a performance boost from idle or just off throttle to mid throttle on 2 stroke engines that don't use reed valves , my bro back in the late 80's and 90's designed and build and made a lot of money making them . The pocket bike rage used these engines that didn't have reed valves , just port timing and port position in the cylinder . This set up would cause air and fuel to always be forced back through the carburetor , causing a overrich ( subsequent bogging ) on the next on throttle position . Essentially the problem was cause on cornering so you have a powerloss getting back onto the throttle . The boost bottle gave that excess air and fuel a place to go instead of back through the carb and that aggitated atomized mixture is drawn from 1st from the boost bottle , it acts like a lung , the engine breathes first from it , then turns to the carb to keep feeding it fuel . The reed valves basically take the place of the bottle by trapping the excess air/fuel mixture in the crank case .
good info and we played with them and seen no noticeable gains on minni quad

Hey thanks guys , sorry for the mis-spelled words and choppy english in that post , I was on the iphone and my meathooks tend to have difficulty typing on it from time to time . A year ago I was talking to my bro about the boost bottle theory and how it could be applied to the reed valve engines in the Blaster and Banshee . He said to make it work and to have a benefit from it a spacer block would need to be made that fit between the reed valve and the cylinder , and then a tap to add a tube that connects to the bottle . so as the backpressure pushes against the reeds , air/fuel would be drawn into the bottle , then sucked back out on the next intake charge . The bottle will on the intake charge will be emptied by the engine vacuum , then a vacuum is created inside the bottle and as the intake ports close the boost bottles vacuum pulls in some of the excess air/fuel , and in less than a second its partially forced out by the pressure now trapped in the bottle , and by the vacuum again created by the intake ports opening up . Would it make a Noticeable difference? I think the only way to tell is the ass-dyno . Maybe I'll have to make one and see what happends .
it's the info that cunts!!! lol counts
We even ran nitro on our 90cc qaud

just put a boost bottle on, it would not idle right since then, so i was told to rejet the carb. in the procces I put on a k&n, 210 main jet and it idle like it is wide open, so much that i turned of the key hit the kill switch and yank the plug wire, turned off the gas, and guess what the damn thing kept running. I thought it was going to blow up. help please.
sounds like you have a massive air leak. take that stupid boost bottle off and fix whatever holes you put into the intake. also if a 230 is stock jetting why do you have a 210 in there??? :-/ :-/
air leak fix it before you run it and get that main jet outa there and put a bigger one in
It was designed to have a boost bottle the dt200 comes with a boost bottle and the dt200 intake has the whole knocked out and it's the same intake as the blaster
