Saw one at a dealership about 3 weeks ago.....its gone now but i've caught the bug from seeing it. Perfect mesh of luxury and power. 4 captain's chairs, heated seats, moonroof, power pedals, power everything. Engine is the 5.4 superchared triton engine. Same engine thats in the lightning but the charger pulley is 2#'s less. Stock they say its like 370hp and 400ft/lb's of torque. I want one

dont listen to either of them is your tors still hooked up? If so disconnect the grey clips that go into them on top of the carbs, and also disconnect the little black box thats in front of the fuel petcock under the tank It should idle after that

I got a really really good drunk story. About 5 years ago: Went to my buddies place up in the woods about 30 minutes away from my house. For the most part its 2 main roads to get there. We go out in his truck to a sports bar for the evening, and the night leads to playing beer pong with 151. Around 1:30 I head back to my buddies place with one of his buddies and all the doors are locked. So we sit out on the back deck waiting and decide to smoke a joint. Not a good idea with how much liquor I had. My head started spinning after a couple drags and I stopped. Head cleared up a little bit and thought I was alright. Decided to make a shot of making it back to my place. Made it about one mile down the road to a restaurant, ended up puking in the bushes and passing out until about 3:30-4:00. Woke up and decided to make another run for it. Made it up the one road, turn down the next and by this point my vision is getting all blurry again. I've got another buddy that lives just off that road about halfway from where I turned to my house, which has a church right across the street. This is where it gets good: This isnt any ordinary church.....there is some weird shit that goes on in this rinky dinky church. Its about the size of a small house, and every member I've ever met is straight out of deliverence. So I park in one of the 5 parking spots (where we usually park when we hang out at my buddies), and decide I have to puke again. I go over into the grass on the side of the building and end up not puking, but I pass out in the grass. This was saturday night that this all happened and when sunday morning rolled around......guess who was still nice and passed out on the grass I wake up to someone rocking my shoulder, and look up.....and theres 4 of the strangest people I've ever seen in my life standing over me. I didnt know whether to scream or pinch myself because I was still dreaming....it just didnt seem right. I got up and said sorry about all this, got in my truck, pulled into my buddies driveway, got my whits together, and drove home.

by the time I got to my 2nd page I'm already bored of all the whining and crap. This is a community and theres always gonna be drama....its inevitable. all I gotta say is wah wah wah.....take your ball and go home then. You people take things to seriously on a website where few people are actually ever going to meet each other unless they go to some big gathering we have, or are close to a big gathering spot for banshees. Take the good with the bad....I get what I need out of this site....and then I move on. If I feel like contributing to the drama, I do, but I never let it affect me and get all steamed or hurt. The drama stops at the computer screen. you people let your pussies hurt to much on here

That also requires having the right crow's foot and calculations for the different length and all that good stuff. Tighten the first nut against the carrier so its good and tight (not to tight, we dont wanna go crushing stuff) and then tighten the other one into it, back the inside one off (much like is stated above, and if you have a feel for torques you can get it in a ballpark) Then take electrical tape and tape the shit out of them.....they wont come loose again.

if you live in pittsburgh its supposedly not that incredible long of a journey to Hatfield-McCoy. 4-6 hours I think? Some of the best riding in the world there.
-
first off, its private property so you give a big FU and a to the good ol environmentalists. How many rideable acres is old forge? This is 20,000 acres and for the most part you dont have to worry about grooming. Only parts that might get into mogul type riding is long straightaways (like next to RR tracks) that get over ridden for years. Besides that, it'll be good riding for years to come. The areas close to base camp might get torn up a little bit, but once you get out into the land....it'll be pretty clean riding all over. The area I was thinking of is owned by Reading anthracite, but isnt one of the areas that this coming about is talking about (I dont think). The area that they are talking about is up closer to meats house I believe. Maybe the hundred dollar pass will allow you to ride the areas that I've been riding for the last 4 years for free as well. Which will be nice, because they really starting patrolling actively on the one side of the road (some of the better riding) and werent allowing us to ride. If we have a pass, maybe we'll be able to ride that side as well. It was like cutting my riding area in half....and they took the better half away

looking for some good sand rail sites. He's a vw bug performance type of guy and lookin for parts, turbos, engines, drivetrains and all that good stuff. Used or new, site for rails etc etc. Thanks
-
I wouldnt send my motor to CT.....I've seen their work compared to others.....I'd probably rather have it ported by East Coast
-
I got one too.....it says MAXI
-
no offense to you....I'm not hating.....just stating shit personally...I got a pos cable line running to this computer that I got out of the trash and pieced together with other computers I got out of the trash and it runs fine for me..... I've never had this thing crash once on me....I dont even tidy it up at all. I say fuck it.....when it starts crashing left and right and being a problem....I'll just reload windows and if its still being a pos....I'll throw it in the trash where I got it from and use one of these other 2 computers I got sitting around I got out of the trash
-
He'll also be able to hook you up with every single bolt it takes to assemble a banshee. I got a box off him the one time and its a great thing to have an extra bolt of everything laying around.
-
simple answer to your problem, buy an aftermarket 250R geometry banshee chassis. Basically a 250R frame and all the parts, but its set up for a banshee engine, radiator, and plastic. It's always been my dream to own one.
-
spend the 30-40 dollars on some dual stage boyeson reeds that will go on your stock cages and you'll be fine for now. It's the least you can do. It will improve your throttle response drastically
-
I think a stock piped R would beat a 440ex with a lot of work done to it.....you can only polish a turd so much
-
its about an hour and a half to 2 hours for me. It's closer than where meat rides
-
one of these years when I get my motor back together I'm gonna have to come ride with you guys. My banshee has been jones'ing for some sand ever since they closed down port elizabeth
-
It all depends how you ride it. Down at Hatfield-McCoy I burned through 3 1/2 gallons in an hour and a half, stock ports, stock carbs. That was riding with my buddy on his 250R. Next day we went out with the rest of the crew on their 400ex's and I rode in the back and made 4 gallons last me 5-6 hours with a few short stops. Basically when I ride with the 400ex's I can keep it in 4th and up gears, and when I'm riding hard I'm going from second on up. Buy an oversized tank and you'll be able to ride all day long with it. And worst case scenario, carry a 2 gallon tank in a back pack and empty it into your tank every time you stop.

on a side note......the korean out of fuckin nowhere rocks
-
I know you as lefty.....then again....most people dont know what to call me now. Personally....I like rewinding my dvd/cable box when something funny happens to see them do it over and over again, do it backwards, do it in slow motion, and then I move on. I'm sure when they get bored with it....something else will pop up on my screen. AND if you wanna complain to complain......JESUS DOESNT LOVE ME...and your sig annoys me by it I'm not a complainer though.....i'm one of those suck it up soldier and git'er done type fellas

I heard rumors that its somewhere around 20,000 acres of land, not all of it rideable of course. Many areas are still active coal mining areas and I'm sure some areas will be off limits. The parking will be for the most part where all the mining equipment is, and there are 3 main reasons why this came about (thank god its about time) number 1 it being that there has been lots of vandalism to the mining equipment (broken windows and such) number 2 is the dumping issue and number 3 it is a chance for them to make money on unused land anymore, it was ridden already, and people get hurt and lawsuits come about and all that good stuff. Now they'll be able to have you sign waivers, have insurance and help make their land useful and cleaner. Let's not ruin this one guys, its an oppurtunity for a great area of riding (I've been there twice). You can ride all day and not see the same trail twice. If this all goes well, maybe all the other areas will follow suit. I'm tired of getting chased by coal company 4wheelers (4wd and they dont have a chance). And I'm tired of riding in the 2 little pay areas up in that area that are completely over ridden and dangerous at times coming around corners. There could be 1000 people at this place and your not gonna be overcrowded. Good hills, good open areas good trail areas and all in all a good place to ride. If you dont want to get insurance on your quad then dont ride here.....I pay 13 a month on each of my banshees and for me its cheap insurance. Plus it allows me to ride in places that you couldnt without it.
-
stay with the duals, you'll be happier in the long run. if you got the stockers, stick with them for now (will be good till you get porting at least) 28's taperbored to 30's are gonna produce the most usable power off a small portjob.

best mods to improve low-mid power for mx
. replied to supercoop's topic in Banshee Repairs and Mods
It's all about the pipes.....I'd recommend LRD's if you can find them, pretty much wont find a better mx pipe. higher compression, dual stage reeds or vforce's is a biggy, a little bit of porting and some timing will go a long way. -
You could always use some chrome spray paint until after the ride......nobody would ever know
