Exciter Help

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the 1990 and 1989 Exciter chassis. If anything i think the chassis would have changed in 1991 when the Exciter II came out.
Thanks for the help.

There are some changes in the tracks if that is what you are asking and between 90 and 91 there were changes in the chain cases as well.

here's what i'm talking about, i have a 1990 Exciter, before i got it someone either got into a small accident or bottomed it out on the belly pan, cuz the steering linkage rubs and the cross tube that connects the struts is bent i did take a hammer to it and made it a little better but it still isn't right, i found someone that is parting out a 1989 Exciter, that is willing to sell me the stripped chassis for $50, so i figured it would make a nice spring project for next year.

Also what was the difference in track just a different manufacturer or model? and how much of a difference was there in the chain cases. I love there Exciters so i'm interested in learning as much as possible.

Thanx

Now I have the gist of what your talking about! I would not forsee a problem with what your doing, but I know a guy that has four Exciters, an 87, 88, 89, and 90 I believe and he has been doing work on several of them and the tracks are different as far as bogey wheel placement and such.

As far as other differences I'll just list a few things that I am aware of:

1. Carb changes, 87 Exciters originally came with butterfly carbs like the Phazers, but were recalled and they installed 38 Mukuni round slide power jet carbs up to, I believe 1990.

2. In 1991 they stayed with the Mukuni Carb, but non power jet system and in 93 on the Exciter SX models they went with Flatside carbs, better cylinder porting and were making in the vincinity of 93 HP.

Anyway, this gentleman I know who has all these different Exciters can be contacted through his Ebay Store under the name of Ridgeview Performance Motorsports. Tell him Dave Hall sent you for information, and by the way he has alot of parts for various machines and will make you a darn good deal for whatever your looking for! If you have trouble contacting him let me know, I've got his personal email address and I'll drop him a line if need be!

Almost forgot, in regard to the chain cases, the early models ran the same gear cases as the Phazers, which were a triple roller gear and chain, 13 tooth sprockets. On the later Exciters the Jackshafts were changed and were 15 tooth sprockets, so do not let anyway tell you everything was the same on all years. Some changes were very subtle and others more dramatic and you did not figure this out until you got into working on them!
