Hi Steve,
Interesting point about consistancy on the coatings... Weren't there some issues with the DLC coming off the buckets at one point?
Thanks
God bless...

There were some issues with the DLC coating coming off on test buckets and coating companies but no issues with the Xlydyne/CV4 buckets.

So who sells the cv4's?

Hi,
So even though I really want the dlc coated buckets, I just can't swing them right now so i am going to try the z400 buckets. One quick question, is the motor in the kfx 400 (Say 2006 model) the exact same as the z400? I though I heard it was identical and I can find those tapets a bit cheaper than the z400 ones.
Thanks
God bless...

Do a search on Google. Hyabusa Tappets
They have EXACT same issues we have.Its all documented but be prepared for alot of reading.The problems ended with Xceldyne buckets a long time ago.

Hi Steve,
I do hear you, but money is really tight... also I did talk to Timbo on the phone yesterday and he seemed to think the z400 tapets were much better than stock Cdale ones. Guess if someone would just buy my ohlins piggybacks I would have the money to do the DLC coated ones now!
Anyhow, thanks for your input and help Steve.
God bless...

I understand.Sorry for being harsh.I am trying to save you $.Zuki buckets arent cheap either and if they dont prevent failure in even one of your motors you have lost $.You have 3 motors with issues.Dont do it till you can afford to do it the BEST possible way!Just let them sit.Your shocks will sell thats a heck of a deal on them.I think everyone worries about $ this time of year.Might be best to just enjoy the Holidays and rehash it after.I bet the $ will be there then.
