    Boost bottles

    Do boost bottles actually work or are they a waste of time

    waste of time- get a juice box instead- more effective.

    I reckon most arn't worth the money although they probably do work.

    Theres a post on a usa minimoto site that gave a good tutorial on how to make one from scratch for less than a fiver!!

    The site is : http://www.sportbikes.ws/showthread....4&page=1&pp=15

    I think the total volume has to equal the cylinder size E.G. on a 49cc cag the boost bottle and the volume of the hosing has to be close to 49cc.

    http://www.sportbikes.ws/attachment....chmentid=25303

    Read-up on it and make one!

    The easiest way is to make one at home. If it doesn't work it's only cost you a fiver for the parts so were all winners!!

    The boost bottles do work, or at least the concertina variety do because they vary in volume depending on engine speed and vaccum etc.
    The fixed variety like the Juice box, need to be perfectly tuned to the engine and carb set up or as someone said, you will just be sucking in air.

    Does the bottle cocertina in and out by itself under the stroke of the engine or do minimoto riders make good accordian players then?

    boost bottles on these motors dont work well. For a non reed valve motor like the midbikes its a good upgrade

    Im sorry, to disopoint you all but they do work, I race cags' and my fellow cags have boost bottles and the past me out - My bike is fully done hi compressioned , ported everything!!!

    Yet the normal engien with boost bottles is a bit faster.

    So for those idots who say they don't work ur idiots - if they didnt work it would be illigal so dont assume if u have no history. Or do not know,

    Go for it and buy em
