  1. I've ran motul on my sons yz125 and on my two banshees since 2007 with no problems what so ever. friend of mine once helped me to replace the pistons on the yz and he couldnt believe the condition the sleeves were in. My son rode competition on the yz about every weekend up to to the end of 2010 and i've never even rebored the barrels they are still standard. I love motul but they are a bit expensive.
  2. I am glad to see you decided to continue with the build. It is one hell of a build and i hope you succeed all of the best and i will watch this space. Good luck
  3. Thanks for the replys guys,will get the wheels of later in week and will let you know what measurements are.(work is killing me for time).
  4. Just like to add to my previous post.Forgot to tel ya. Friend of mine changed the pistons on my sons yz125(second set)about 2 weeks ago and told me that the barrel looks brand new so that also tells me that no shit gets through that notoil filters.Like ive said he rides a lot in dust.One race is 6-7laps one lap is 18miles long 2 races a month and practising on farm you make the maths. I know a lot of people believe in K&N filters but personally i believe in foam filters.My son is also lazy when it comes to cleaning his bike and i make him clean his airflter after every race and the notoil is easy and fast to clean. Just my 02 cents. Awesome little bike hope you enjoy yours as must as my son enjoys his 125.
  5. Dont know what you guys think of the NOTOIL filters.Ive been using them on my sons yz 125 for the last two years now with out any problems and he rides in a lot of dust,on competition days theirs between 100 to 140 bikes and a lot of dust.It is also quick to clean and not to much hassles.
  6. Got hold of another stock banshee today and did the same measurments as i did with mine and the gap between rope and front wheels are the same on both sides. I seriously dont no what is wrong with my shee.Ive looked at the spacers,rims,a-arms even took mesurements fom back axle to the foot pegs ,its the same.Spoke to another guy about it today as well and the only thing i can think of is that the frame must be bend or twisted. Ive never rolled or had any major accidents,although the off-roads ive competed in were rough on the shee.Is it possible that the frame can bent that easy? Is it possible that it can be a factory fault?I seriously cant think that the frame can bent with the type of riding ive been doing,i dont even do jumps with her (the odd small one on race day but nothing major like going to mx track).
  7. Went to check out swingarm and carrier the amount of threads on both the adjusment bolt the same as i got it out of shop.This is really messing with my head. If their is someone reading this that got a stock banshee will you not go and see if this is also the same with your shee please.Will take you not more then two minutes and a peace of rope. Will take more photos.
  8. The spacers at the rear are the same width. Spacers in front are same width. The rear axle is sill stock axle. Will inspect front a-arms and tei rods later.(1.30am in south africa must get some sleep) The whole suspension of shee is as i bouhgt it brand new.Just added the wheel spacers Will take more photos and post them. Dont know if this photo will help. Thank you for interest
  9. Hope you can see photos.I am sooooooo struggling uploading photos.
  10. Needed money urgently so i took my banshee to local dealer and put it on their floor to sell.Also had my 4runner for sale and the gods where very good to me for my 4runner sold first so i went and took my banshee back.Must say i was praying very hard that my banshee doesnt get sold and it all worked out good. While i got all your attention would like to ask you what you make of this. My suspension on my shee is stock,spacers on back and spacers on front.If i take a rope from my back wheel to front wheel on right side i can put almost 4 fingers between rope and front tyre and if i do the same on the left side i can only put one finger between rope and front tyre.Hope what i am trying say make sense. Will try and put picture up. I would like to know if my frame is bend or is this normal.It doesnt make sense to me.
  11. Sorry to hear the bad news.My prayers will be with your sister and family.Be strong man and i hope she will recover and that we will be hearing good news soon.
