Saw a bad ***** typhoon sunday
i saw one bad typhoon saturday at an arena cross race here locally. my son was suppose to race but came down with 103 temperature friday so that was out. i went anyway just to watch and hang out with friends. even though my son has been off the minis for over a year i am still pretty involved with them. anyway i was in the pits and say this blue typhoon then they started it up i knew there was no way it was stock. i watched the race and it was really fast. an apex 100 got the holeshot but the typhoon was right with it and stayed within a quad length from the apex the whole race. i think with a little better rider the typhoon could have beaten the apex. i went over and looked the quad over and talked to the father a little but he was pretty tight lipped. i did get out of him that it has a 143cc big bore kit in it and was a manually clutch and he swore it was a typhoon motor. i though the typhoon 125 motor could not be converted to a manual clutch. everything i have read says you can not put a manual clutch on the dual clutch 125 motor. even on xtremes website the have a kit to change the 70 and 90 to a manual clutch but it says it will not work on the 125 motor. has anyone heard on this kit ? i would love to have one to build like that one for a bad little pit bike. i know where i can get an almost new typhoon for $500 and if i could convert it to a manual clutch i would jump on the quad and buy it in a heart beat. anyway has anyone done this or heard of a kit to do it.
