LOL, this thread is great!! gimp, you still haven't shown us any proof of this bad ass house you have in Fresno, nor do any of us believe the fact that someone as ignorant as you could actually be married...especially to a woman that would let you take pics of her crotch and stick it in your avatar I still don't believe you're any older than 13... Deuce already called your bluff, where's your pics?

LMAO! You're definitely not one to tell OTHER people how to fuckin read / spell, especially when you can't spell for shit...maybe you should read your own posts You are the biggest moron I think I've ever seen! Thanks for the laughs today, your ignorance is rather humorous

That sounded gay as hell, you trying to tell us something? Your wife know you wanna see other men's tails?

Badass!!!

You really need some psychological help man, talking shit and making cracks like that especially when people's lives were in danger is a real pathetic thing to do. It's funny you keep calling Deuce a pussy, when you seem to be the only pussy posting right now.

LMFAO @ led pimp559, you really must not have any idea how retarded you're sounding...My 12 year old niece can come up with responses better than yours. Why don't you show us a pic of your house? We all know that's Deuce's studio, you're the only one that is looking like a dumbass right now

So....did you enter?

No, unfortunately I have to work I'm gonna be trying to head up to LS here soon though, I'll let ya know when I do

I say go for it! If you have a case saver you "might" have to shave it a little to fit the 16 tooth...BUT, you can also buy a bigger rear sprocket to get more gear...1 tooth on the front sprocket is equivolent to 3 teeth on the rear sprocket. So, if you only want to get a little bit more gear, get a sprocket with 1 or 2 more teeth in the rear.

Gearing!! Lower the gearing and he'll be just fine...I suggest starting off with a front sprocket 1 tooth smaller than what's on there now.

No, just ride it until it breaks You're gonna get dirt in the carbs eventually, the filter can't keep "everything" out. As long as there aren't glops of mud in there you'll be OK

Nah man, I have morals as well as a conscience

LMAO @ the smileys

I couldn't agree more!! I'm speaking from first hand experience too...I used to think the same thing until my friend piped and filtered his 450 and spanked me. The guy is a better rider than I am but even if I were equally skilled, he would have still beaten me. Those 450's aren't to be taken lightly

Looks great! Nice work!

I was running +4 timing, 155psi, @ sea level on 93 octane...no problems at all

MMMkay

This is a dumb question but if your piston had a big chunk taken out of it, did you go through your bottom end and make sure there is no pieces of the piston floating around in your cases? If there are and you don't clean them out, you'd be replacing your crank soon afterwards once those pieces of debri got to the bearings. Just something to think about

Aside from the compression part of this issue, you did say your plugs looked really lean. What mods (other than the cool head) are you running with what jets and carb size? When you ran those new plugs, did you run it WOT through 6th gear? It's always good to warm your banshee up on old plugs, slap the new ones in there, fire it up and rip it through 6th gear...pull the clutch, kill the engine, and keep the throttle pinned until you come to a stop. (You may already know this but figured I'd explain in case you didn't ) Keep us posted!

As far as it being an 04 or 05 bike that doesn't matter too terribly much. I put well over 60/70 hours of riding on my banshee the first year I had it, and was rebuilding the top end mid way through year two. There are a number of reasons the top end can wear out in a year or two; if that's even the case here. I'm hoping the gauge is giving inaccurate results.

I know you already got plenty of info about the cheetah cubs in the other thread you posted...I don't know much about strokers to compare them. I can tell you this though...doesn't matter which setup you run, the more mods you put on your banshee, the less "reliable" it becomes therefore meaning you'll be tuning on it more. That's just a general "rule of thumb" for any engine...The saying "you pay to play" comes into factor whenever you start doing serious engine modifications. Yeah, you'll get lots of performance out of it, but also will wear faster than a stock stroke / port engine. Might wanna keep that in mind before you get started

I would definitely drain that 87 octane first and put you some premium in there before running it anymore...100psi does sound low, was it like that in both cylinders? Is it possible that the gauge may be inaccurate? I would imagine if your top end was going you would be having trouble starting it up, etc...how many hours do you have on the top end now? We'll get this figured out

I loved the "need to wipe my ass with a snow cone"
