How is the cannondale in gncc racing?
Yeah, the Blaze is the ultimate machine...but if your like me and most everyone else, we can't afford the entire chunk of change at once.
I bought a 2002 Cannibal and put about $800 in it to race. No, it's not at a "Blaze Level" but it's more of a machine than I can use at the moment. I'm not a pro rider by all means, so my retro'd Cannibal does just fine for local Harescrambles. The biggest pain is the dead engine starts. But we've almost got that figured out, the mighty 432cc giant doesn't always like to fire right up!

Welcome Tarrat! Gets us out of Atvconfussion! lol
Also to help on the dead engine starts. If you beef up the battery cables, it carries a more consistant amount of juice to the starter. And there is a battery that's the dimensions as the stock battery (6" long, 3 7/16" wide, 4 3/16" high) that puts out 175 Cold Cranking Amps versus the stockers 120. The part number for that battery is YT12A-BS
And another battery, YTX14-BS, is the same Length and width, except it's 5 3/4" high versus 4 3/16" high, and it puts out 200 Cold Cranking Amps.
I think I'm going to try the YT12A-BS battery before I look at moving the battery location to run a larger battery. Or has anyone tried this battery yet???
