you guys gotta check out the questions he's been asked, HILARIOUS!! ~Mark~

do you have a steel or stainless swingarm pivot bolt?? how bout the whole set from pivot works, the bearings, seals, steel seal cups, and bolt tube?? Thanks ~Mark~

This topic needs to keep going, BRAD you idiot i know you are reading this, write back or call, we won't stop. ~Mark~

banshee's (my 87 anyway) don't have a brake switch, so the brake light isn't supposed to get brighter when you hit the pedal...and yes it probably gets dimmer when you click on your hi beams because the hi beams draw more voltage than lo beam, so your tail light gets dimmer...and no this does not affect your ignition/spark current because the stator has 2 separate systems, one for lights and one for ignition..good luck ~Mark~

thanks loco, i though the tabs in the lockout replaced the disks, making it so the clutch would barely slip, making for some rough take offs...i think i understand them things now ~Mark~

HEY ASSHOLE, WRITE BACK.

so it uses a lockout and streetbike clutches?? i was under the impression that a lockout does not use the clutch plates anymore...that's weird. ~Mark~

was i the only one that got a semi while reading that?? makes me sad that my stupid swingarm is cracked, bearings are destroyed, and the bolt is rusted in the tube...kinda funny how i was listening to "too much of a good thing" while reading that, GREAT post we need more like that ~Mark~

TTT, Brad contact us, we NEED to work this out, be a man and call us, my phone number is in a PM i sent today ~Mark~

i have a double tubed roll bar in the bed of my toyota, i'll just chain it to that...backing up to a telephone pole has gotta be the best idea so far...and it's ok because i have room for gear inside the truck, and my ramps are 2x12" cedar planks, i doubt any kid wants those..really sucks your shee got stolen, find the guy and chemically castrate him somehow, cut his hands off and duct tape the stubs, then finally hog tie him and stick his theivin ass in a closet with a straw for food and water that goes out the door, and pee in the tube ~Mark~

because he pays the bills ~Mark~

i'd just wait for a monoblock/cheetah setup...also don't skip bore sizes like what was said above, never ever ever ever bore your cylinders to gain power, always always always bore the minimum amount, just enough to clean up the scratches in the cylinder walls...for obvious reasons ~Mark~

i'm sure he's a fair guy, and that's all i want, is to keep this fair. We are all adults here and brad needs to grow up, my dad has e-mailed you several times to work this out, he even offered for you to send us back only 60 of the 78 dollars, so you have something for your frustration...you really should write him back and stop acting like a baby, grow up brad. ~Mark~

to make a long story short, i took the money from our paypal account without my parents knowing, so my dad sent him some bad e-mails stating that he ripped us off, 68charger called my house and they figured out i took the money from our account, i got in BIG trouble, paid the money back and more, now for 68charger's feelings being "hurt" he thinks he should keep 78.00, I DON'T THINK SO!! send me what's rightfully mine, or me and my dad will keep sending you e-mails until you send it.. we won't forget or give up. ~Mark~

nobody got ripped off as i see it, he is just being stubborn and not holding up his end of the deal..a few e-mails is NOT worth 78.00 for your "pain and suffering", grow up and get over it BRAD, send me what i bought ~Mark~

68charger, he just won't admit it, you have my money, grow up and sto pbeing a BABY, SENT MY PARTS, they are rightfully mine, yeah so what the sale was a little complicated, but the bottom line is you have my money, and the parts, which should be at my doorstep anyday now...e-mail me back your phone number so we can get this worked out...and NO the e-mails will NOT stop, you have some things that belong to me and me and my father will not stop until we get them...then and only then will i give you good feedback and help out your other prospective buyers, do you really want the name of being a RIP OFF?????? didn't think so...SEND MY PARTS, I PAID FOR THEM, I SHOULD GET THEM. Go ahead and let this go to law enforcement, they'll laugh at you...and tell you to send me what's rightfully mine, don't be a closeminded idiot, open your eyes, see it from my point of view, you were wrongfully accused of stealing money from our paypal account, and it was me, so what?? i'm in trouble now and you're about to be also. Get over your hurt feelings, none of the so called "death threats" are being carried out(yet).......get on the stick and be a man, or i will start a thread explaining EVERY detail to these nice people on the HQ, and they can decide who the thief is here, YOU. SEND MY DAMN PARTS!!! ~Mark~

i'm going to my grandma's house... ~Mark~

this is kinda off topic, but i run a single 35mm PWK with the graydon proline setup, on the 2 overflow hoses, mine only has a hose on i believe the left side, should i add another hose the opposite side? i am worried about dirt getting in there, also can i just cap that one off and leave the existing hose? i guess it can't be a vacuum leak since it's an overflow tube(right?), Thanks and oh yeah, free bump ~Mark~

these engines are known for being somewhat high maintenance, so live with it...and i'm not trying to be a smartass here but this could quite possibly win the most pointless question award, what are you trying to accomplish with an answer?? you woulden't be happy with a mathematical answer either, because A. it woulden't be long enough, or B. you think a 4 stroke is better... so go buy a 4 stroke and don't worry about it...but honestly there is no real answer to this question, and what will you GAIN with a "correct" answer?? if someone said that with easy 1/2 throttle MAX riding your engine lasts 246.897hrs, and you go exactly 1/2 throttle at the most just a few times, what will you do?? quit riding your bike and tear it down a few hours before it's "due" to "blow up"?? on the other hand, if you want reliability, ditch the stock cast pistons and buy some wiseco prolites(forged), they will last much longer IMO...also no porting or engine mods of any kind, because anytime you add more HP, you decrease the life span of the engine....oh yeah get your crank trued and welded, for that you must split the cases...IF by chance you already own a banshee, and don't have this, buy a clymers manual ASAP, it will help a great deal ~Mark~

i have been thinking about putting my 4,500.00 baby into the back of my truck and parking it at school for 6hrs a day...you made me almost change my mind, it woulden't be hard for someone to drop the tailgate, yank it to the ground, fire it up and drive off(no key), or back up to it and unload right into their truck, how convenient...maybe i'll just slap a big ass chain and lock on there around my roll bar ~Mark~

actually a wrestling helmet would better suit him, because they're made of a hard foam and protect your ears in case guys like us punch him in the head for being stupid...oh yeah and stick an upside-down yamaha elblem on the front forehead, i say if he's on his V-twin banshee you get an extra 10-15 extra HP, althought i have yet to test this on a dyno.. ~Mark~

not to mention a solid mounted motor would vibrate your hands right off the bars.. you'd be tired of riding after a good hour, i had an old kawasaki 100 dirtbike like that, to top it off the grips were like plastic.. ~Mark~

also for all who never knew it, the banshee(and every other 2 stroke ATV or motorcycle i know of) is technically a HEMI, it stands for HEMIspherical head design, with the plug in the center....so why not tell em you got an inclined inline HEMI 2 cylinder 2 stroke...with the red powerband(your stock green one didn't pull as hard when the valves started to float at about 12K RPM)...lol ~Mark~

Also, you got a PM(and e-mails) ~Mark~

68charger, I have paid for front and rear lowering blocks and the front plastic, I expect them any day now...we have sent you numerous e-mails, so what if the sale was a little rough, but you DO have 78.00 of mine, so i expect the parts...SEND THEM ~Mark~
