Hi guys glad I could finally join here. Great site, looked thru lots of topics--lot of good info !!

Im from eastern Wa. (state) run my own farm, got five sons & we love getting dirty (playing in the dirt).

Got us off of the dirt bikes and 4 wheelers & into the smaller dune buggys, my kids are safer strapped in and roll bar protected.

Kids & the wife love these toys (dad too), anybody who cant hav fun in these--simply must have no heart beat :D

Weve got my sons Viper650 (i bought off Devil Dog earlier this summer, thanks DD love this thing!!) torn down to the block in the shop.

Been working with Jose at Silver Bullet and have ordered "the 650 upgrade kit" friday

post-1135-0-69589100-1320620122_thumb.jpg

(10.75:1 Ross pistons/rings/rod bearings etc, with the 'torque specific' cam)

Also ordered new con rods, & crank. :) much yet to get ordered valves/seals/springs and retainers, & gaskets etc.

At least now I can soon get the machine shop started...

Planning a line bore, ring end gapping & probably have him shot peen & beam polish the new rods (for a potential; future, small eng nitrous settup). Im gonna port & polish the cylinder intake & exhaust, got a new better flow intake for the older mdl FF Webber 40DCOE carb. The crank will remain stock but, I am thinking of shaving the flywheel down just a lit'l (5-8% of total wt).

Im a decent farm mech & jack of many trades (expert at none), done a bit of V8 internal work (bac in the day) but most of my eng work experience is in JD tractors--so i may need sum help incouragement & 'correcting' along the way

Tj (my youngest) & I are Really Pumped about this build project :) and its possibilitys !!

Anyways, to the point...

Jose said he wasnt aware of any dyno test on this mod, & didnt want to speculate as to the Hp gains, But...

told me some one on the UTV forum had done Silver Bullets piston & cam kit on a Sand Spider 650 already & posted of his build, and outcome. Havent been here long and even came close to reading all (lots of great stuff here), but havent found info on this build yet. Seems I keep getting side tracked on threads like the supercharger topic & such B) Any help finding this thread would be awesome & any advice suggestions and input you guys may have for me would be greatly appreciated.

Ive been told this kit alone, could potentially add 20 extra Hp off the flywheel ?

Thankx in advance for any help & input

Thank you Rick, I apoligize if I sounded abrassive & I understand this more of a UTV specific forum, but the Commander does share this same eng. Im also sorry for my post location (but as this was my 1st post here, I entered this in the New Members section-move this thread accordingly)

and again thank you.

Again -- I was told

Jose (from Silver Bullet) said;

Im thinking this kit was most likely done on a Commander 650, rather than the SS, Ive sent Jose 2 emails asking for more about this build/outcome & reveiw, but with no answer (my Piston kit order was made Fri afternoon, & an email to Jose fri & again Sun)

I also have not heard back from him on a pricing quote on an extensive list of other parts I needed, list emailed Mon AM & I verified that this had been received when I talked with Johny that same morning

I was hopefull Silver Bullet-Rick would respond back to me... :)

(i have 3 of these 650 engines iin our buggy fleet, & will most likely be doing another rebuild in the near future)

Thankx & best regards

Jeff

Hi Team Farm, welcome to the forum. We just love to have people here that are moving into new areas with their machines. Next step will be to supercharge it. Look to cutting weight where you can. I've replaced a number of parts with aluminum where i could. Pick up my aluminum at a local recycle center for a $1 a pound. I just stop in once in a while so I'm gradually building an inventory to work from. Sounds like your into a fun project. Sounds like you enjoy working on it, I know I sure do on my Trooper.

Welcome Jeff....

My Brother-in-law had a 650SS and it is the reason I wound up with the T2 I have now... He had done the Weber conversion and it ran good....

Have you done the snowmobile shock swap for the SS yet ???

Hi Showa; I did get some Fox Zero pros (from an Artic Cat M7) for the SS but have not had time to weld new tabs & get these mounted yet, all my time been going into my sons Viper (the 650 we,re building).

Still waiting on my SB Kit to arrive (cant even get the machine shop boring the block till I get those pistons) :( but in the meanwhile we're puttting a diff 680cc build in his Viper, that I recently found for sale (Venolia 9.5:1 pistons & some goodys) :)

      New AMP Pro Owner
      By Xov
      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      2018 Hisun Sector Crew 1000 engine die after about 15 minutes run
      By Hugh
      My 2018 Hisun sector crew engine cut off after about 15 minutes run. There is no indicator of what is wrong, no error code just die and won't restart until it cool down. I notice that the fan is not running but the temp indicator is on low temp, no overheat indicator. I checked the radiator fluid, it is cool to touch.
      Cooling fans are working, I can hear it running once awhile if I can get the engine warm up enough.  Thank you for all the help.

      CVT Variator for Tracker Off Road 800SX Crew
      By Farid
      Hey there,
      I’m trying to find a CVT (variator) for my Tracker Off Road 800SX Crew. Do you happen to have one, or know where I can get it?
      Also, if you’ve got any other parts for this model, I’d love to hear about them!
      Thanks a lot!

      Good mornin' all. Just joined.
      By diamondjfarm
      I got an old 2003 Arctic Cat 375 Auto, and just bought a 2008 AC 650 side by side. Got a new starter, solenoid, and battery for the 650. Gonna change the crankcase oil and filter while I'm at it.
      Anything I oughta watch out for from them that's done the starter/solenoid on this model?
      Don't have a manual yet for the 650. Any recommendations for oil weight/grade?
      Thanks.
