hey guys, just wondered if any of you guys have tried nitrous oxide on youre bikes because i am seriously debating weva to get a kit or not! cheers

How much is it? And then how much for a refill bottle? Sounds like it would be a proper laugh!

its 30 quid off ebay for a kit that fits a mini moto but u basically drill a hole in youre airbox and feed the pipe through it comes in 16kg bottles and you can buy 50 8kg bottles for 20 quid aparantly they last about 8 seconds so am guna invest

Aint there a risk of blowin your engine if you hook nos up to it without moding certain parts?

Yeah i think superman is correct, you need to set it up properly the ratio of air to nitrous. Personally i would be ringing up someone who installs them and finding out a bit more than what an Ebay ad tells you.

Im sure its gona be like a car aint it where you will have to strengthen certain parts of the engine to be honest i hardly think its worth it on a 400. then there is the other things like if your bike does 140 top end then you inject the shot of nos it might put 30mph on the speed or somethin you would have to make sure you had the correct tires on for those speeds plus onece you press the nos injection button thats it for 8 seconds (or whatever you set it to) you cant stop it so if a car pulls out . i would go for a turbo on a bike its safer

i dout the 400's clutch to take it tbh.

Secondly the only time it would be usfull is when your in a strate line so id rarely get a chance to use it (twisty back roads all the way!)

When i lived in cyprus we nos'd up a 50cc kart engine, it shot it's piston out through the head halfway down the straight, i'd rather not have my nuts blown off doing it to a mini moto thx.

not gonna happen. by then you'd be spinning at about 18k rpm and as xphy has suggested, you'd probably have the pistons coming up through the tank.

could be worse. i always wonder when I look at big v-twins where the rear cylinder points straight at your groin....

That was nitrous igniting in the airbox, it didnt blow his hand off btw, just took the glove off his hand.

I cant tell is that his hand that flew off?

Although there are these benfits of a turbo instead

turbos take farrr to much work to get working well, followed by the lag think id rather have a NA engine for constent smooth power. Although that look bloody fun to ride

Well instead of one big turbo have 4 small ones Not so much lag then.
