I got a banshee a couple of weeks ago but I am repairing my brothers 99 blaster with a 240 vito's big bore kit for a christmas present. It got stolen about a year ago and we haven't put the motor together yet. the kid who stole it ran it out of injection oil and the Blaster went Boom!! so anyway. does anyone know what the torque specs are on the cylinder and head. If not does anyone know where I can find that info online. I'd buy a clymer's book but it's sunday and no one is open right now. Thanks....Mike

I've used lucas semi synth 2cycle premix for a while on other bikes but never on a shee. what do you guys think of it. thanks

dumb question, I guess . I thought from what people were saying about a big increase in air intake that it would make you lean out a bit. I'll just stay with stock jetting and check my plugs

if I remove the airbox lid. should I install some 220 mains instead of stock 200's? Also can my airfilter pop off with the lid off? 1000 ft elevation thanks

Got the OK from the Wife so I just picked up a new 06 white and gray banshee that I ordered from yamaha a couple days ago. I know why buy new, I could have payed half the price for a used, piped banshee. Well I know how people like to beat these things so I wanted new. 4 guys at the yamaha dealership told me 4 different mixtures to run. one said, 20:1, another 24:1, another 30:1 and yet another 32:1. I had a blaster a cr 125 and other 2 stroke bikes and all ran about 32:1 so what should I go for . I know break in should be a little richer but after a tank or 2 then what. The owners manual says 24:1 but that seems too rich? Thanks Anyway for a little belated intro of myself. I'm a mechanic in a family business auto repair shop (Father, Myself and Brother) in NJ I've been a member of the HQ for a while always reading posts and lookin at everyone else's pics ,stories and mods done to there banshees. well after being hit (T-boned)...'Her Fault', 5 months ago on my 98 yamaha fzr 600,that thing was Cherry I was in a wheel chair for 3 months with 2 broken wrists, a broken hip and broken pelvis which now has a titanium plate in it....Yeah I got a special card cause I beep goin through the airport metal detectors now . I thought I'd never be able to ride anything again. I've been ridin all kinds of things since I've been about 5 or 6 and started atving with an 1985 honda atc 70cc which I still have and am restoring as a side project and since about 1988 riding snowmobiles during winter up at Tug Hill NY with family and friends . It feels great to be able to get out and ride again, even though I'm takin it easy for now. So anyway, I picked her up today and already can't wait to start throwing parts on. Thanks again for any suggestions for my fuel mixture. Oh and what weight tranny fluid are you guys runnin...

You can use www.forwardair.com , I've never used them but they do offer insurance, and last I checked it would have cost about $350 to ship a quad.
