I will tell you something, but dont spread it around I could get in big trouble. I have busted out many plug cats for people who could not afford to buy a new one. And I've always been able to get them to pass. In some cases they actually passed cleaner, that goes for the smog euipment for the early 80's vehicles. I have disabled them and made it look like it was working to fool the inspecters. And guess what, not only do they run better, but run cleaner. But try telling that to big brother!! |

| | Re: Bicycle motor with a cat? A few years ago I had a car that would not pass smog here in ca, I went over to Hot Rod City and got a gal, of alcohol and poured it in the tank that had less than a half tank. I took it over to be checked and the guy said it was too clean, I said "it is too clean, I think is just good enough". We could run our two smokes on Alcohol and I think it would pass any smog state. You can't drink it put it in the tank, the mileage will go down, but it would put a little more power under you. Have fun, Dave

| | Re: Bicycle motor with a cat? O.K., got my response from Boy GF- He says "In the pipe".
That answer is about as accurate/vague as the other things in his listings....I call "B.S."
Now to address the emmisions thing once again- the bike that was rested and passed the EPA check was a broken in 48cc bike running a 25:1 mix. It was well under all limits.

Some octane boost should work aswell, I wonder about the fuel fragrance, it's basically alcohol I think. Anyway's these motors are not as dirty as everbody wants them to be. If saying we have a cat on our bikes keeps the environmentlist to leave us alone, so be it. |

| | Re: Bicycle motor with a cat? I have a cat on my bike....it's a special low heat cat that looks just like the insides of a muffler, scientificly proven to keep the emmisions well below standards. It boosts the engines capacity to 80cc's and comes with the really good Russian clutch lever too. Better than anything else out there, I SWEAR IT!
