Phase 5 Pipe found for the SX! (pics and a Vid)

[Tri-ZNate]

Went and looked at a SX today. Basically stock with crappy plastics all around, dented tank, no air box (has screen over it :rolleyes:), twist grip, key does NOT shut off engine when turned off, 18" rear tires, BUT the whole engine has been gone through and PHASE 5 PIPE. $450 and as long as I am there by friday its mine.

I have never before seen or heard of a Phase 5 for an SX, only the 200x which was on phreakfix's.

[Dirtcrasher]

Who makes phase 5???

[Tri-ZNate]

No Idea. Phase 5 might be the company, like Cobra megaphones are made by Cobra.

[whipit]

no unfortunatly this atleast has an end cap ;)

[Tri-ZNate]

Well I just got off the phone with the lady and tomorrow night i should be picking it up with pics :). My only concern is the lack of an air filter, any suggestions as to how to throw a make shift one on or what to use?

[Tri-ZNate]

keep in mind there is no air box so it would have to clamp or fit onto the carb itself

Just measure the carb and go to the local dealership and ask them if they have any k&n clamp on filters about that size. might be $30 but why not?

I got some left over diamond plate SOMEONE left at my house... :eek: :rolleyes: :D

SX airboxes are readily available on Egay... CHEAP!

[Tri-ZNate]

I have an exta box but I just need to make a temp one so i can ride it tomorrow.

[conig]

why not switch whats on your present one.

I say do a clamp on if the motor has been worked over anyway.

[bassman]

Take a piece of shirt or something and put it over the whole, stretched across it, and clamp it. My dad used something like that(only with a shop rag) for his /85 vulcan 750, and never had a problem.

Wheeliepop - I have a SX parts machine - PM me with what you need - I can hook you up!!!

sticky side out so it catches the dirt... right howdy...;)

[Tri-ZNate]

Well I went and got it (sorry no pics of it) but I found a few more things wrong. Choke lever is broke, fender supports are not there, and it has a 158 main so it kinda cuts out on WOT. on that note i have this to say

Anyone know what this carb came off of (picture below)? I micrometered it and its a 34mm Keihn carb with the screw on throttle. Found out it was a different carb when I went to adjust the idle :). Pics to come satuday night since I will be at the fair tomorrow till 10:00 at night

[Dirtcrasher]

It's certainly a 2 stroke carb, looks like a dam 250R carb....

[Tri-ZNate]

I wouldnt be surprised, thats the only 34mm that comes to mind. fits fine and runs great till WOT. I'll just rejet it and call it a day.

[Tri-ZNate]

yep 250r, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOS-HONDA-ATC-3-WHEELER-250R-R-NEW-CARBURETOR-CARB-85_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43977QQihZ002QQitemZ 120034017292QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Wow, another loud 250sx...

*rollseyes*

[Tri-ZNate]

well got some pics and a vid. Definatly louder than the bassani. the end cap was a home made one to quiet it down (hard to believe :lol:) and there is also a pic of the "Filter" that was in use. I think this pipe wont be used much because its so loud. And like I said, Cosmetically it looks like hell

Hey nate... Looks like a good score. Although I can't get the vid to play I'll take your word that it's loud... Looks like it's definitly worth what you paid... What kinda plans you got for it?

Oh, how does the diameter of that header compare to the bassani? supertrapp?

[Tri-ZNate]

I'll upload it again Chris, it isnt working for me now either :confused:. But it appears to be the same size as a stock pipe, the bassani definatly has a bigger diameter.

[Tri-ZNate]

Found out the problem, didnt click video when I uploaded it. But this will be getting a stock exhaust and carb and traded to Josh, along with another "parts" SX for a 350x he just grabbed hopefully soon

dee dee dee, maybe I should put the vid in too

Chris I was comparing the phase 5 and the stock head pipes and they look identicle, except for the stock being about 1 inch shorter, and the Phase does not have the nuts welded to it for the heat sheild. I'll get pics tomorrow, didnt have camera today.

:cool: I woulda thought the header on there woulda been a bit fatter than stock.. That's the only one of those I ever seen.. ;)

[Tri-ZNate]

well no pics. Got up too early and forgot. But I took the phase and tried putting it on the stock header and it was definatly bigger, maybe by like 1/2 in diameter.


And Chris ya know how I like to run full bore, well this pipe actually hurts my ears when i run WOT. Has more of a "Ping" than a "Thump".
