anyone tried to fit theire bikes with NOS? I've seen shops sell cheap, small kits ment for pocketbikes and other small size engines, the kit consist of a trigger mechanism that can be mounted to the handlebars, a small cartridge(maybe 8 to 16Oz) inside the trigger, and a hose running to a valve that gets connected somewhere on the airfilter, the kits promises dramatic power increase for 15 to 30 secs depending on the setup of the system. anyone tried them? are they worth getting just for the fun of it?

i believe you have to drill a hole in the intake manifold and tap a thread and insert the valve.Its preety much extra bling and bragging rights i guess the shots would have a very minimal effect only being small cartridges , Should be around a 1hp boost for a few ticks so not really worth the trouble.Theres a guy on here called blowfly he's got a nos setup so maybe pm him for more detail

bull shit, we put a propper NOS kit on to a pocket nike (one for a remote controll car) and not one person could stay on he bike it would flip us off as soon as it came on, we were leaning / laying over the front of it and still flipped us off.
dont buy the soda bulb ones by the real shit and it works

yeah they work but you have to tune the carby so it runs rich because nos leans it out too much
if you dont run it rich theres a really good chance of killing the engine
the bad side is if you do richin it up the bike will run shit when you arnt using the nos

I remember i was talking to someone that used it and it did work and it was just the cheap ones.
They come with one of those filters that have a metal cap on the end and it has a hole drilled through it.

But why would these kits be harmful for the engine? I know of course that running lean will make the combustion extremely hot, but these things leans out the mixture for only seconds at the time, and by using common sense and not over-revving the engine to the extreme, I dont see the harm.
as for the effect of the system, I think It might be worth it just for fun  and anyone of you actually tried them yourselves? I see a lot of second-hand opinions here...

I think it would be fine if it was only for a few seconds.
How about guys that do wheelies for like 5 minutes? Starving the head of oil would be more dangerous I rekon.

I think I'm going to order a kit just for fun the webshop that sells these kits actually garantee that it will work. I have a suzuki TS50 (moped) I can try it on first. If it works, cool! then I'll throw it on the old loncin and see what happens...
