Energy induction on the TriZ

[mnnmaz]

Whats the lo down on the 'energy induction / boost bottel " ? Also where can I get a reed spacer for an 85 TriZ and any particular size?? thanks for the help! :crazy:

I believe the theory is that it smoothes out the intake charge between the opening and closing of the reed cycle. Does it work? Don't really know. But i know yamaha believed it did something since they used it heavily on early to mid 80s motocross bikes. 82-89 yz80s, 82-83 yz100s, all yz490s and probably a few more yz's, and IT series bikes. I also had a buddy that had a 85 kx500 ( first year liquid and only year not to be powervalved) and i remember it having some sort of boost bottle on it. Banshees also have the provision in the intakes for the bottl but come with a ballance pipe. A lot of sleds have provisions as well. So there must be some sort of science behind it. But at least it makes the Yamahas look cool and keeps some people wondering what energy induction is.

Cool, I never knew that! Thanks for the info! Any inputs on the reed spacer?

[Bryan Raffa]

Moose is a company ha ha dennis kirk has them or any cycle shop that get parts through parts unlimited. the part # are above

And theres only one size..

Dont waste your money on a reed spacer. It didn't make any difference on my Z.

[maggiesboy]

anyone ever blocked the bottle port and noticed a difference?

[mnnmaz]

I havent, have you and do you realy need it

[maggiesboy]

I havent, have you and do you realy need it


LOL, no I haven't, I was checkin.... Raffa or Ronnie.......anyone ever done it?

[Bryan Raffa]

no i havent but was thinking of doing it on the 490 because it gets all the air it wants and it dont really need it .

Back in the day i did it ... it didn't seem as good as when it had it.. but when i shortened the Hose 3/8" , it seemed better.... the Mantis has the stock one on it .. i ain't messing with it ..i have installed a couple on some ATC's and you couldn't really tell the diff.... on the other hand as far as the Banshee goes ... "they" say the Boost Bottle Help's on a HARDER Mid Punch... from what "we" tested... i KILLED the top Charge some ...
REED Spacer's .......Banshee Likes the 1/4"...Tri-Z likes the 1/8"..ATC Don't like them..TRX Likes the 1/4"-3/8" for the Mid Punch on the MX Track .....
Personally the way i built my "RAG" ... i don't like the Reed Spacer.."i like my TOP POWER"... my "low" is my Clutch.......... my 2cents

[mnnmaz]

Man it there anything you dont know!? Nice to have someone with ALOT of knowledge! I know this is probablya dumb question but what is "RAG"????

[Yamahondaman]

A "Slang"...A "Phrase"...The "Gimmick" of Word's to Describe Sound,Thing's old and New,Thought's Emagined About "Stuff" ... Like ............
When your going down the Interstate and you see a "OLD RAGGIDY" Car Going 75 MPH with the "dohnut" Spare on it SMOKING LOT'S out of the Exhaust....
You HOLLAR at Them ...."GIT IT RAG " !!!!!!!
I Garentee they will give you the THUMB'S UP !! :lol:

Banshee boost bottle is a complete money making gimmick."It" dont get it RAGS!tried em,and ended up getting more of E-bay Than what I got em for.

However,I heard from a reliable source,you are better off running the factory Tri-Z boost bottle than Ditching it and running a reed spacer.

[TimSr]

The boost bottle on the Z works better than a reed spacer, and a reed spacer should not be used with a boost bottle. This is why you typically dont see reed spacers made specifically for a TriZ.

[Bryan Raffa]

why is that tim?
