I have a few questions on these gears. Correct me if I am wrong, the straight cut gears vs the helical stock cut is to not side load the crank with the helical pattern? And they stock ones are helical likely for noise reduction? What is the benefit of the ratio change from 2.68 to 2.86 to 1 on the gear sets? It seems to me you could do the same with sprockets and chain.

I have a stock banshee transmission that I bought assembled used. After I put the engine all together and started and ran it. The transmission pops out and back into first gear. All other gears seem to work fine, it's just first. I am splitting the cases now. Anything I should look for besides the obvious shift forks and gear dogs?

The Shearer pipe stingers are a bigger diameter. I checked it out.

What did you guys have to do to put them on?

Has anyone tried putting Toomey silencers on Shearer pipes. I like those silencers best out of all the pipe brands.

I bought one of these for my daughter. I don't want to over paddle it. Any ideas on what works good on the little 250.

Has anyone had any problems with their Shearer inframe silencers. I have a set of these pipes/silencers that I bought new 2 years ago and the left silencer is falling apart at the tip. Rivets loose end cap loose etc. Has not been wrecked or hit, just ridden sand only.

They are defininitely ground different. Point shape is longer and they have a extra clip position from what i remember. They ran good for me. Never tried them on a dyno or anything, just put them in and ran em. I let them go with the t5's that i sold.

How do they run? Any good, make more hp? A friend is doing a top end and ordered the kit. What do they do to your jetting as far as changes? The pistons are defininitely cut different.

I gots me a #7

I ended up doing a compression test before I left, at my elevation in Utah I had 170 psi on an un-broken in motor. It has been my experience that they usually gain 5- psi when they break in. I ended up buying straight race gas out of the pump, 110 Sunnoco in Yuma, and backed my timing down to 0 degrees on the plate. I never did do another compression test down there to see what it was but it had to be close to 190 psi I would guess. Everything worked out o.k., the engine ran good but I took it easy on it for the most part. Got after it a handfull of times on the sand highway where they race on the last day. I was going to change my domes but the air freight never made it before we left. Thanks for the info.

If I buy 110 or 112 race gas, how high roughly can my compression be on it safely. This is stupid because I have not done a compression test on my motor yet to see what I got but am running out of time. I have a good comp tester and will take it with me when I go. I have a Serval 4 mill, 35mm carbs. I have 22cc domes in my head. I have not run this combo before. Any Ideas on what it should be compession wise at California. Glamis is 335 feet. I am at 4600 or so.

Thanks for the replies. I bought the Shearers. They are a tight fit on there with my carbs/filters and intake I got. Look pretty sweet and seems to run good but only had it in the neighborhood so far.

It is all built, Serval 4 mil.....now I need to buy pipes. Which ones. I have 35mm carbs. Sand dune riding only. I thnk the CPI pipes look kind of cobbled and the Shearers dont fit good from what I have read. Or are they close enough it won't matter anyway? I am a heavier rider i.e. 250#s

As a side note, the final hill climb for the Rocky Mountain Hill Climb circuit is in Billings Montana on a hill called the Bentonite Nightmare. I have not been to that event but the footage of it is insane if you have not seen it. There is a approx. 20 foot vertical cliff at the top and the bike catchers hang down on harnesses and ropes like rock climbing equipment to hook the bikes (sometimes) as they fall down it. Not sure if they do any ATV stuff at that one. I am going to go check it out one of these years.
