nac's sells a very good beadbreaker that is perfect for taking on trips. Harbor freight sells a tire changer that is more suitable for home Both around 50 bucks or so

thats really cool to hear, knew things were pretty good when he was back on here typing a couple days afterward. Happy birthday man

first off, welcome to the forums. What systems did you ride? We usually travel 12 hours down there from outside philly, and stay for a week at the rockhouse system and try to get to one other as well. We try to get down there once or twice a year, but having a kid and getting married has put that on the backburner for these last 2 years. On the bright side, its giving me a chance to rebuild my shee from the ground up, and I'm building it to handle riding down there. Some of the best riding in the United states in that area. Try to get friendly with some of the locals down there, they know a ton of killer trails that arent part of the system

do you have the adjustable LRD's? I took my end cap off the back of my LRD's and installed a screen so when they poke in there it stops their prodding. I was actually going to buy a metal letter stamper set, and stamp the inside spark arrested to really show that they are, but they've only been poked once, and they passed it with the screen in there. It's all it is anyway in those spark arrestors.

post some pics up 150 bucks is a good price as long as all the parts are there. A half ass beaten broken plastic alright running one goes for 1500 or so around here. 350x and 250R atc's were where it was at back in the day......I wish I never sold my 250R. I still get to ride it now and again, and at least it has a good home

I run 23's up front and run 21's in the back. I prefer the 23's up front with any tire size (except 18's) in the back. I've run my 20in holeshots with the 23's and its fine. You wont have a problem

thats my advice. Had my nut somehow come off while I was riding and the chain came down onto the threads and spun them away by the time my engine rev'd down. turn the nut backwwards there is a good void there to weld in. Clean up everything real nice before you weld it. Isnt the shaft hardened steel?

I wanna know where his oxygen mask 2 stage setup is.....get high and blow your engine at the same time.....sounds like a good time

a bunch of different companies, and they cost from 500-1000 or so.

nah, they've completely come loose. I was coming back on the road at hatfield mccoy and the back end felt loose. I got off and looked and the adjusters were down, and the carrier would just slide back and forth every time I got on the gas. Pulled it out some and tightened it back up to get me back to camp. But the whole way back was thinking if those bolts came out, it wouldnt be fun. Only reason it all stayed together is because I had a prestretched new chain and didnt have the carrier adjusted out very far. I'm planning on upgrading to a roundhouse sooner than later....my swinger cant take much more abuse

I've tightened mine correctly and they've still come loose on me.....But then again I've beat the ever living piss out of that back end. Every time I adjust my chain I end up putting loctite on them and they stay. Not saying that yours may need it, or what terrain you run, but if you beat on anything hard enough, its bound to come loose.

if the thumb throttle is extended you wouldnt want to get rid of just that would you? if you split it up, I call dibs on it

that filter is there to keep big stuff out, its a dual stage filter. You didnt happen to oil that filter did you? I know you're only supposed to oil the inner one. Personally, my advice would be to ditch the airbox lid and rejet. If you need to run a cover, get an outerwears cover. Do a search on my name, I just made a post about the covers you can get for your airbox. The stock airbox lid is very very restrictive

yeah, his discount is 1% over what it costs to make the vehicle. It's cheaper than what the dealer can get it for, they just get to chaulk it up as another sale. It's pretty hard to turn down the discount, especially when you know you can sell it down the road after a year I believe, and its still worth more than what you paid for it. I'm not planning on buying one until the truck has been proven. Probably still 3-4 years out maybe even longer. I plan on paying cash, and drop some money in the account for it every week, thats why I'm saving now. I have an 89 suburban and an 86 Bronco 2 both with low miles (about 110,000) and both run like a top. Between the 2 I have less than 1500 into them besides regular maintenance. I plan on getting a 2003 f-150 HD to add to my stable sooner than the diesel. I have no car payments anymore, and all I have is my mortgage payment, so I need something to work towards my credit. Planned on financing like 10 grand

nice truck you got there, and you are right about the 6.0 engine. I was talking to my father in law about it actually the other night (he's a senior master tech) and he says most problems started showing up in those engines between 10-30 thousand miles. He said if they make it past 30, then they are pretty safe. It was just bad lines of engines coming into the plant. metal issues, wiring issues, fuel injector issues were the main problems. Right now I'm saving to get a f-350 quad cab with an 8 foot bed. People tell me I shouldnt because its too long, but hell, I drive a 39,000 lb recycle truck all day so. I'd look into other brands but I get my father in laws discount so there is no other choice

try contacting one of the guys on ebay that makes them, they could probably just send you the bolts

isnt he going through a divorce? He was making the parts at the machine shop that is his dads if I remember correctly. I think everything shut down because divorce's and running a business out of your dad's shop dont mix to well together in court. Maybe after its all said and done he'll get back to it. Sucks, he was just starting to get rolling

broke is selling one right now in the for sale section. the chassis is by someone else, but its basically the same thing.

that's funny, go ahead and buy it. If it isnt correct, I'll go there and raise some hell. I know a couple people that work there, went to school with one of the mechanics that rebuilds the atv's after races.

nice. Nothing like hugging an engine, squinting your eyes, and dropping the clutch.

dont know if I would trust that auction, that really looks like a shock cover to me, this is pretty much what the airbox cover looks like: http://www.ronniesmailorder.com/eshopprod_...OX_COVER_KI.htm as far as your mains go, you might be a little rich already still having the airbox lid on but you are at sea level and that will matter a little bit. T5's like the main a little bit anyway. I believe noss makes a foam setup too? I personally would run the foam if you are gonna be in the mud and sloppy conditions. I've run both and its just my personal opinion on preference. I would run whatever filter setup you are gonna run, ditch the air box lid, get one of those covers, and jet up 1-2 on the mains and go from there on tuning. In the long run, think about getting aftermarket needles for your shee as well (mine are lrd), go to 27.5 or 30 on the pilots, and tune in from there

If you are running in mud and stuff, the K&N with an outerwear on it, no airbox lid I was getting dirt in my intake tract. The filter element on the K&N just doesnt work well enough to prevent dirty water from seeping into the intake tract. I know from personal experience. I switched over to the pro design foam setup (put a little silicone like before mentioned when attaching to the airbox so you dont get a space) and I havent gotten anything in my intake tract since. I've actually had the engine get a blip of water in it going through deep mud/water holes and had it stutter on me, pulled the filter off after, and it was wet in the intake, but it was clean still. The difference between running a lid and no lid is a good 2-3 main jet sizes. Do you have pipes yet? The setup I'm going to be running instead of a lid, refer here: http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80791 The lid will kill power big time. I was one jet lean in the mountains the one time and forgot my jets, so I put my lid back on and my engine would barely run, couldnt even get it up into the powerband. With your conditions I would run a foam setup and one of those covers The only place I would run a K&N would be in dry dirt conditions, and in the sand.

basically it is to cool the oil in the shock, having rezzies will increase the life of your shock, especially if you get the oil hot enough. When I ride, I'll ride hard and long through some terrain that gives the shocks a hard workout, and if I didnt run rezzies I think my shocks wouldnt last as long as they have. It all depends on your terrain and how long you'll ride without stopping. We'll ride for 4-6 hours at a time, with the longest we stop is for 3-5 minutes to get a drink every hour or so.

my advice to you is this. If you have stock reeds in there still and dont have the money to put out for vforce's for a while, spend 40 bucks and get the boyeson dual stage reeds. It's what I did, and my throttle response increased dramatically over stock. Before there was a lag kind of between when you hit the throttle and when the bike would go, if I was in a trail and had to pull the front end up at speed, it wouldnt come up when I wanted it to. When I got my vforce's I noticed better power for the most part. It would just rev a little faster and the feeling of power was more there over the boyeson's. My throttle response didnt really change though.

maybe you've had an oil excess buildup? What ratio are you running? Did you just get the 30's? How long have you been running with it rich? Ride it around for a bit if you can and see if it cleans up. You heading to the car show in quakertown tomorrow? I might head up for a little bit. My one buddy will be there with a black tahoe and a system in it. Still think he should of had me build it.....he's from new york and goes up there to get work done....and now the thing isnt running right. Where you going riding at on Sunday? Should hopefully have the banshee together in the next month or two. Maybe we can catch up and ride somewhere. I know of a couple good riding areas, and my buddy said he found a place that we can park down in Jersey and not worry about anything.
