4 or 5 Speed Feedback So Far?

I see RLC are offering a deal on their 5 speed gearboxes. The info mentions, once you've gone to 5 speed there's no going back etc. I've been happy with 4 speed boxes, as most of us probably have, but I was wondering about any long term feedback before I decide to take the plunge and go for the 5 speed box.

I am runnung 2, from mid to full race tune, they are an amazing transformation.
The key is installing and setting up correctly, they get a bit of bad press but they are not a 'plug and play' if in doubt get a ptofessional to fit

Love my Cyclone and works well with an RT225....5 is a bit of an overdrive gear for me but saying that it still pulls well. A mate had highly tuned engines but has gone back to a more standard set up and 4 speed. Your only young once, go for it..

Fantastic bit of kit.
Like many,I've always got in with 4 speed (because I didn't know any different?on a Bretta) but have owned and ridden some decent performance two stroke bikes so know the advantage if more gears close together with there ratios. The Cyclone went into a motor that pulled the gap between 3rd and 4th anyway but now it's just even better. great acceleration without having to have lots of HP. Recommend this to anyone and so glad I fitted one. Totally changed the motor.

I'm waiting for the money from my arm and leg. Although, I've just realised I won't be able to ride the scooter now. :-(

Yep, I personally recommend a Cyclone 5 Speed following my use over the last 3 years, and upwards of 6-7,000 miles.

When I riding my other scooters that don't have a 5 speed box I'm always looking to change up from 4th.

Bought another Cyclone to fit to my next engine, impressed with them that much.

Love my Cyclone! To say it has transformed my scooter would be an understatement :D
