NOS Injection
I have not even got bike up and running yet but I have an idea that may work. You may have seen the tire inflating kits that use a small CO2 cyliners that are the same for shooting BB guns. I use one with a small tip to blow out an unfired charge in black powder guns when we have a misfire. Well you can buy nitous oxide cyliners for whipped creme makers that are the same size. This little rig is very small and has a thumb operated lever. What if you attach one to your handle bars with a air line going to your air cleaner on your bike motor. Push the lever and have up to 30 seconds of nitous injection. The inflater lever is spring loaded so it is on or off until the gas is gone. The end unscrews to put a new cyliner in and only takes seconds to do and the cyliners are cheap, less than 5 buck for a box of 20 or so. This may blow the little motors up I don't know if they can handle it. It may be the answer for a few of the speed freaks out there trying to set the land speed records. Its just an idea that cost less than 25 bucks. Thanks

Re: Nitous Oxide Injection
I have a Nitrous set-up on my stretch. I installed it more for looks than function. I does work and adds some boost to the motor. I haven't shot all of it at once....just in spurts. As I'm riding I can reach down and press the button and instantly hear and feel the rpm's jump.

Re: Nitous Oxide Injection
I have a wet nitrous kit that I used on one of my karts and I took it off after blowing an expensive reed cage,3 rings, a couple of pistons and 2 cylinders. The only scary part was after you depress the button, there's a 3 second delay meaning the kart kept pulling like a freight train after you let off the button. To me that was pretty scary especially going into a turn and the sucker keeps pulling. I evenually learned to use it wisely but it was a costly experiment...now collecting dust!

Re: Nitous Oxide Injection
You know if we all had nitrous any time we got pulled over by the police we could let out a little bit of that gas and get the police to laughing and who knows they might even want to ride the bike...................
