people should read or search first and then post. like habeeb said, we got this topics 3 or 4 times this week already, and that's pretty annoying, cuz everyone wants to know about the same thing, so read and search first, still no answer? then post.

It's not his fault.He's new here.I didn't know there was a search thing for like 2 months when I first came here.

The answer to your question isn't as easy as it sounds...lol.There are alot of different opinions on this subject.I personally think it's a waste of time and money but others will say it's the best thing since sliced bread.You could easily get an awesome engine for the price of a supercharger that makes enough power to calm your thirst for speed.

i think that the reason that most people buy this is because the word 'supercharger' sounds cool. people think extra speed, unbeatable.

there are mabny more cheaper, more reliable, faster things that you can get in place of a supercahrger. to the uneducated mind supercharger will sound like an extra 10 h.p. dto the educated mind supercharger is just another word in the dictionary. if you want the image then go ahead, by all means, get the supercharger. if you want the performance then there are many more options that will better suite you. it depends on what you want. i myself like performance over image so i have a fast car with a beat up body. when i bash in the parking lot with a friend he turns more heads because of his nice body. thats what he wants and i have what i want. both of us are happy.

ok, i'm new here too, so i'll post as to why this things a joke.

first, you have to have a vacuum to draw fuel through the spraybar into the carb. if that thing made any positive pressure at all in the throat of the carb, fuel would push right back into the tank.

second, unless the inlet timing is changed, the system will not be blowing directly into the cylinder, but instead pressurising the crank case. I doubt this would be a good thing, as the high pressure mixture would then blow the extra air and fuel right out of the exhaust port when the transfer ports opened. therefore, no additional pressure can be put into the cylinder this way on a 2 stroke motor .

if it could be done, 2 stroke race bikes would already be using them dontcha think?

a hell of a joke those rocket scientists have there.... don't even think twice about wasting your money on one.

LOL.

To us educated people they are more than "just a word in the dictionary"
