Would you mind sharing your clutch weights and spring combo? Trying to tune a 4/6 motor with the same pipes. Motor is not ported like it should be for max power but trying to get it as good as possible.
That sled is fuckin sick!! That black with those decals looks so awesome, and its so clean, and it sounds so nice, and it looks so DAMN NICE WITH THOSE TWIN PIPES commin off those polished head bolts. A+
@poopdogsays I have the 2A heads on it, and I bought 2 new jugs from a guy in MN last year when I went through the whole sled. I got a 83 for 50.00 that had been hit hard in the rear, and I put the engine in mine along with the 108 & secondary, gearing, etc. I will keep you in mind when this one burns down.....:)
@poopdogsays how much would those heads cost me? im looking at a liquifire and would like to bump the hp up. so far looking at pipes and porting bigger carbs with uni filters
@yamaharules163 Pipes and porting isn't really going to do much, maybe a 10hp increase, but the tuning would be a nightmare. The reason the Invaders weren't any faster was because it was already on the ragged edge of what they could do with porting at the time.
I sold the heads last year, but I still have a set of NOS jugs. Check around Kawasikitrax(dot)com It's a Kawi sled forum board. They can help you out. It's been so long since I've been into the Kawi stuff I can't remember shit anymore.
I thought that motor looked familiar, I had a 1978 kawasaki invader 440. I could dust off anything on the trail including the cat el tigre 6000. The top end was fast for the time. The liquid cooling allowed tighter engine tolerances, and man that invader would run!
JD wanted the Liquifire to idle at 3000-3500, so that is where I set it. I have since sold the pipes, they were too loud for the neighbors, and did nothing for hp.
HMMM odd that they would have a 440 twin ideling at 3000+ RPM, but hey, they're the experts. If you want custom pipes that make Horsepower contact Greg at Jaws Performance in Ottawa Ontario. They make GREAT stuff.
generally if there is snow on the ground, its probably not going to be over 40-50 degrees F, and i suppose conservation of space would be a good reason to have liquid cooled.
thanks! I had one 20+ years ago. I found this one really cheap, put 70.00 into it with new seals, fuel lines, filters, carb rebuild. I couldnt justify spending another 8000.00 on a new sled when we may or may not get snow.
thats a super clean sled man

Great sled! I have a set of high compression Kawi heads if you want to bump up the power about 10hp.
I also have NOS jugs too!

@liquifireman Don't let it burn down! Keep the crank seals replaced and she'll be OK.
Did you get the jugs from Trucker? That's where mine came from.

awesome sled sad to hear about the pipes though :(
yamaharules163 2 years ago
@yamaharules163 The stock pipe actually makes more power than the twins. W/O porting, the pipes do nothing but make noise ( kinda miss that ).

It seams to me that it idles a little high. I am by no means a vintage John Deere expert, but thats just my take.

The pipes came with the sled. They are made by AAEN performance. I dont think you will find a pipe for a Lynx.
