V-ForceD2 Set up Tips?

<< < (2/3) > >>

John:
I suggest you first try using a very sharp tool to cut the boot. I used a hacksaw on mine and it was not a nice looking end result - even though I was careful. Use a scalpel or a razorblade, thin and sharp. If you bend the boot at the same time as you cut, you are able to cut deeper without the tool getting stuck.

Sharc:
I used a brand new hacksaw blade and it cut fast and came out almost perfect. Trimmed it with a razor and bolted it up...

For jetting, I went one step leaner on the main, but I was rich already. Went from a 170 to a 168. I did a new top end at the same time, so I couldnt tell the differecne with the V-Force....whole motor was so fresh, plus jetted cleaner - it felt great. I know the Moose spacer I put on a few months ago was a great $20 improvement...

sdkx500:
I bought Nasty Nicks VForce Delta 2 cage it was new in the box I think he sprung for a Generation 3 model.  He seems to have kept the bolts and the spacer from the trim down.  Does anyone know how thick the washer spacer was so I can cut?  I will call them monday if no one knows.

sdkx500:
Rough estimate as to the thickness of the washers?

KXcam22:
Not quite sure what part you're cutting, but for cutting rubber if you grind the sides off a new hacksaw blade (the parts of the teeth that stick out a bit on each side and gives the width of the saw cut) it cuts rubber very nicely. Hope it helps. Cam.
