I'd say more like $200 Round here.

Zilla is always like that. Don't worry about it.

Pics of your carbs?

Yes buy one. (High performance) 4 strokes have more maintenance with just adjusting valves, which can take as long as putting pistons in a 2 Stroke. You only have to rebuild a Banshee when it starts loosing compression, which is many miles and hours on the engine. There are probably some 10 year old Banshees still on the first or second rebuild.

I don't know if that's a good deal or not, but if you're thinking of going to a bigger carb you need to have a ported engine for it to run correctly.

Most of my post was referring to the new aluminum. And technically the carbon would "burn" before the aluminum. AL would just melt. But, that being said I was wrong about the carbon after reading the links.

Check with Jeff. He cAn get the right ones. Or my favorite Precision Power Sports. [email protected]. Email Art and tell him what ya need. Tell him Jerid referred ya.

They last for years. Even if you have to re ring a banshee ((which takes a couple hours and little $) it's better than fixing the other shit that can go wrong on a Scrambler. I just put a new ECU or whatever on mine that failed for no reason. 3 yrs old and probably 50 Or less Hrs. But for leisurely trail riding the Polaris is better.

Also as far as the Carbon pistons, I've never heard if them but I'd think they would burn. As far as this new aluminum, it may be good for fuel economy but deto is deto. The mixture is wrong and it's still gonna happen. You would be looking at a colder plug (so it wouldnt glow at that temp)and different oil ratio to combat piston wear IMO.

They also make the TRX which I how I know they are wrong. Got them by mistake once.

Without even googling the helium thing, the molecule is so small, the tires would leak down quick as it passes through the rubber. I also believe it is more temperature sensitive and the pressure would be vary variable due to slight changes in temperature. As far as helium filled frames. If you pressurized the frames it probably wouldn't be lighter the atmospheric pressure air. My thought on that is negative pressure in the frame. (I.E vacuum = no air- lightest there is).

Gearing Lower tends to help 60 ', so I'd go down on the gearing. Not sure how much though. Maybe a tooth on the front assuming you were optimum for 300'.

The bolt pattern is the same, but the TrX intake is angled. You have to use the CR 250 intakes I believe.

JB weld works for me. People argue that alky breaks it down, but I have sealed up a hole in the bottom of a carb with it that's stayed sealed for years.

I agree, good starting point. Depends on where your motor makes peak power, and if it has the the torque the pull the gearing

Just wanted to add. Normally, I would like to get 3 or 4 runs of data from a test session like this. We will probably only have time for 2 runs with each cdi with the stock curve & the same advance in the plate. I already know then benefits/performance of using a Dyna ignition & using custom timing curves, along with the launch limiter. That's why we aren't spending much time with the test. So, take it for what's worth good or bad. This test will be more about Dyna's claims of better performance just from it being a better cdi/better or hotter spark. Sure. That's what I was wondering also.

ProSandDrags. They check fuel for every Limited 1st and 2nd place and offer tear down for $100 per cylinder.

Precision Powersports FTW all day.

Do you mean the dyna "stock" curve or the real one. Good scientific test vs the 2. Please post results.

Stock ignition on any size motor. Less of a headache. WHen a pvl starts acting up, you have 4 different components to test, and they may be bad even if they test good. WIth OEM it's easier to swap out parts. The pvl curve is also more flat, unless you get the programmable one. MOst of the guys that went to the pvl bandwagon a few years ago are back running OEM.

Be sure the cable is tight or just push in the clutch actuator to line it up. The spring there needs to be compressed.

That pass was good. It still ran a .51 with it falling out of the power or something at mid track. What was going on with it after that? Watching turbos run makes me never want to have a turbo. Not that bike in particular, but all of them. Even Skullys appeared to be lined out and had similar issues.

See the nub on the case? The clutch arm needs to line up with that with the cable tight.

FFS it was an accident. You have to "sue" the insurance company to get the medical bills paid. You have to have a lawyer and they have to get paid. 30k ain't much for pain and suffering, lost income, etc. WTF Zilla?
