I looked at the parts kit for the A-5 and realized most of it was useless.  I went to Wal-mart and bought a plastic box and stocked it with high wear and critical parts that I bought from a supplier (like tippmanparts.com)  for your cyclone I would buy a couple of ratchets, a feeder ratchet spring, and other usefull and easily lost or broken parts.  An o-ring kit is a must also.

The only thing you probably need is some tank o-rings. Just make sure you take care of your gun and nothing bad will happen. Keep your o-rings oiled and clean out the gun every once in awhile. I would suggest just going ahead and buying the vortex mod that way you don't have to worry about the cyclone from breaking the ratchet.

if your going to buy replacement parts buy the valve cover (incase you strip the threads), get a bounch of O-rings, a few replacement screws and nuts, sear and trigger springs, and front site sping (its very hard to find these springs if they shoot out of the gun when you take it apart). These are the parts i got because there worn stripped or lost.

Wow. Some people sure don't know how to take care of their guns. Don't tighten the bolts so much that it strips everything. Take apart the gun on a white surface so that you can see everything clearly if something pops out. To keep the front site spring from popping out, keep the hopper adapter on the gun. This holds the spring in place. I have never lost any of my parts and I have opened my tippmanns up many times.

i do take good care of my gun, i paid for it with the money i made from working. i accidently stripped the valve screws because they werent getting tight, and ive had springs fly accross the room befor because i barley bumped my gun.

The X7 is probabily the easiest marker to strip apart and put back together.
