The Cubs and Cheetahs were originally made for the Yamaha Banshee, which is a massive market.

It just so happens that the banshee uses basically a YPVS engine with different barrels, so we can also use their stuff on YPVS bike engines.

Hehe, i just remembered that now, but thanks anyway! Maybe the company that makes them for Banshee starts making them for 4l0 if we complain and complain about them not being available? Laughing

I can't see it ever happening.. nowhere near a big enough market for it to be worth their time and effort.

If you really want Cub or Cheetah, just put a YPVS bottom end in your 4LO. It goes straight in.

Yeah it makes sense. Confused Putting a valvie in it sounds like the way to go but it's fairly hard to come by engines here, there are mostly just complete bikes being selled for some reason.
