Boost bottles, gain or just pain?

[andreas67]

Gentlemen,

I got myself a boost bottle for my bike to try it out from NK Racing. Fast, quick service and the bottle itself looks fantastic.

Did a back to back run on the back road where I always try my bike out.

My unscientific, seat of the pants data, tells me the bike is running worse with the boost bottle mounted....

Have I lost my mind or is this the case, what is your experience?

Mixed opinions on this but I think ones which link two cylinders are a waste of space. As far as I know you need a separate boost bottle for each cylinder & then they just help to smooth out flat spots.

boost bottle ah.i have run one on my lc 350 for years and I have to admit when I was running with the std carbs and ramair foam filters it did smooth out an issue I had.the bike now runs with a pair of tzr 250 carbs bored out to 30mm with a ramair sock filter and I have left the bottle on.the bike runs ok so I will leave it on.

I got a boost bottle on my YPVS and it runs fine, I dont have the standard pipe so cant compare the two.
