  1. If you have a Toyota dealership nearby, ask for their oil pan sealant. A little costly, but works great.
  2. I like the JT X-ring chains, 520 pitch. X1R2 I think is the model I use. They are good quality, and very affordable. Have had good luck with them on my streetbike, my 450r, and the banshee. How long exactly for a +4 I'm not sure. My feelings are that any good name brand X-ring chain will do very well, and last longer than any non o-ring chain. The O-ring design helps to keep the grease in, and the dirt out for longer life. It's worth the extra money you spend the first time around. Keep it tight, use chain wax often, and it will last a long time. edit: X-ring is just a fancy O-ring
  3. I wanted to say, nice build! It's ten times cooler seeing a non-stretched banshee, and knowing it has a 10mm setup. If you try the Chariot throttle, please give us a good review. I'm using a Honda with an extended thumb, and looking for something easier. There's a local selling some decals on craigslist, I saw your above post and I just wanted to pass it on in case you could use them. If he won't ship them, I could help get them to you (provided it's what you're looking for) 2006 Yamaha Banshee OEM Rear Fender Decals - $100 http://newhaven.craigslist.org/mcy/6058421921.html
  4. Good for you! Love seeing people trying to get the most life out of them as they can instead of just trading up for new. My 24 valve is approaching the 300k mark and it's just getting started IMO. Have you had any transmission or injector issues? What do you use for additives?
  5. Got my bar today in great shape, thanks again!
  6. The transmission does, which was what I was referring to. Although now that I think back, he could be referring to straight cut drive gears from the crank to the clutch. Oops lol
  7. Always comical when people put straight cut gears in their list of mods...
  8. Spec is .020" on the pickup, 21mm float height on the carbs. Are you testing your stator in a place where it's right around 70 degrees? If not, that could affect your readings.
  9. Awesome send me your PayPal information thanks!
  10. Just curious, have you looked at the reeds? Maybe one chipped or broke? Could possibly cause what's happening here with no air leaks & seemingly everything else in place
  11. Cut out early today, as the package with the new caps and wires arrived. Decided to do some quick testing first. Attached a test light to the frame, and started up the banshee. I ran the test light down the old coil wire and along the boot, one side was very lightly arcing, the other side was pretty strongly arcing. Clipped off about 1/3" each side to fresh wire, screwed in the new NGK caps, put the insulators back on, all better. No more high RPM breakup, hooray! Really appreciate everyone's help on the matter, thanks again to everyone and this forum as a whole, for all the insight. My banshee would not be running without HQ. Big thanks to Sleeper for taking the time to text me the stator notes, in between porting a pile of cylinders. All of my testing with the stator would have been null and void if it weren't for him. Hats off to you sir.
  12. Ordered a set of NGK wires & caps, per your guys advice. Also going to remove the stator and leave it in the house overnight for accurate test readings. Should have some results by the end of the week. Work has been stressful lately. Big thanks to sleeper for taking the time to send me some very crucial notes about stator testing. If anyone else needs this information I would be more than happy to pass it along.
  13. What should I be seeing for output if I test the stator? I don't want to throw parts at it without first really testing it if I can help it. There's 2 brand new BR8ES that replaced the practically new set (to rule everything out), it passes air leak test perfectly, and I'm at around 140 per cylinder with a good compression tester.
