I believe they are, but I will be checking just to make sure.

I've got a 485 cheetah with power valves. Trintiy state 4 exhaust. Keihin PWK 35mm carbs. 4 degree timeing advance. 93 octane pump gas @ 32:1. NGK BR8ES Spark plugs @ 0.030" gap. At WOT the top end power seems to level out pretty quick. It almost seems as if I'm draining the bowls, but could that be? Could the carbs be too small. The low and mid power are there all the way. It's just the top that's giving me trouble. For years before the 485 I was running a cheetah 421 with the same pipes and carbs. I never had this problem with the 421. Its top end seemed to never level out. The RPM's just kept climbing and climbing. The only thing that I changed was the jetting. Rite now I'm at a 160 for the main and 45 for the air. The needle clip position is in position #3. The plugs are a little darker then they should be, not too bad, but I've got a little more tuning to do. Any suggestions? Anybody out there running a cheetah 485, what is your set up like?

I don't think that alba sells that kit anymore. I know I seen one on ebay a couple of months ago.

Found a quickie homemade license plate flipper on youtube. What you guys think? I don't want my plate to show all of the time, for obvious reasons, lol. Figure i'd only have it down for event purposes or if a popo happens to ask for it.

Whats everyone doing with they're plates? I've had this shee since '03 and finallly got her registered. Any pics and/or suggestions?

wont work for me either unless I do some kind of set up thing. Any ideas?

I just ordered a DG Baja chassis skid, used on ebay. I didn't get the for weeks because ups lost the package. I asked my self the same thing, how do you lose a package that is at least 3' long? Well motor city didn't even box it, just put a shipping lable on the part itself. Motor city worked with me and was going to send me another but the two that they had left didn't come close to looking as good as the one that I bought. One of them wasn't even DG Baja, it was a cheapo from ebay. Luckily with enough harrasing ups they finally found it. Also, A friend just purchased polished cases. Same deal, he had a problem receiving them. When he finally got them I was surprised to see that only one half was polished. It was polished nice but me personally would want both half's to be polished, but anyway after looking them over really good, one half had a crack in it. They sent another set and BAM, cracked. My friend will be getting a refund and becasue of this buying new cases to be assured that they are good and not cracked.

Is a lock up on a stock clutch be a good idea for a 535 in the trails? I always thought lockup's were for drag.

Thanks, that definitly helps I think that I will be doing the 535 pv. Whats the lockup and slingshot do?

Does the 535 smoke the 485? What are they running for a clutch?

Hello All, I have a cheetah 421 pv and love it. I ride mostly trail and occasionally roads. I have a friend that is thinking of going with either a 485 cheetah pv or 535 cheetah pv. I'm going to sell the 421 and get either kit as well. It'd be a lot cheaper for me anyway to go with the 485 because I can use the 4mill crank that I have now and with the 535 I'd have to get a new crank and most likely a hindsen clutch set up. What do you think? Would the 535 be too much in trails? Is it going to make that much of a difference, especially for trail riding?

Hello All, I did a little searching on here and could find an answer. Is there a skid plate that I can get for +2+1 ASR A-Arms? I can't see the skids for the stockers fitting? Like the ones one ebay.

Hello, I have a stock crank from my 00. The only thing is, it needs bearings installed and I think that I have the two outer ones, but not the inners, i'd have to check.

hello, i live in troy and i usually ride on the outskirts. im having the same prob. i ride alot of powerlines cause alot of the trails are if not getting closed down are old and ive been looking for a place to ride other then my usualls for a while now

will the ez off oven cleaner still work even if the pipes are trip. nick coated(fmf sst)

i picked up the whole front brake system, master cylinder down to the calipers for $50 on ebay. they work great. i also have the ss brake lines and wave rotors. the whole set up even without the rotors is a world of difference compared to the stockers.

I just put front brake calipers on from a 05 450 and they bolted on with no problem couldnt believe it and they work great. stops the quad quick and dont even need alot of pressure but anyway im getting sick of the old rear brake caliper its all beat up and outdated if you ask me, but i noticed that most quads have a similar set up as far as the caliper. Is there any aftermarket performance rear calipers out there. I know i seen one a while ago on the internet some where and can't find it anymore

I have the blue tribal flames from alba. I think that kit is one of the best looking graphic kits out there for the banshee besides the skin kit. I seen a black shee with the tribal flames and it looked pretty sick. I would go with the tribal flames or the skin kit

I had the same prob. a couple of months ago. I tried a 1" bolt and two nuts that would fit in where the bearing is but it didn't work that thing was on there for the long haul. My next idea worked though I took a dremel with a cutting bit and just cut through the bearing and only the bearing to releave the stress and it turned out by hand after that. So I would try one of those things. good luck

Hello, idk if this is gonna help you out at all, but I went from a fully ported banshee motor with several mods and it was great, except for the fact that you had to be wide open all the time to get the power you wanted there really wasn't any putting around. I ride mostly trails and i know that you want the power there whenever you need. Last year I blew everything up: cases, crank, pistons, cylinders, cool head domes. I was debating on the cheetah or the cub and from what I understand you can get the same amount of power out of each. the cubs dont have any pv and you can use stock head and intake system. the cheetah is a little more expensive but only because of the pv and you upgrade to 250R intakes. you can get the cheetah w'o the pv and have a block off plate on there for 1000 dollars less. but ill tell you with the pv it feels like a second power band. through the trails i can sit in 3rd and keep up with anything and when i need to I dont even have to switch gears or go wide open with no bogging all the power i need to smoke what ever is in front of me with no problem at all and ill be long past them when i switch to 4th and etc. in my opinion it is a powerful motor and im only running 93oct in it there really made for race fuel or somthing along them lines. a couple of months ago my buddy who owns a bunch of land and cleared a 1/2 mile stretch of land and when i was riding around his track I seen the crazy bastard humming around on his polaris 800 twin snowmobile. he asked me if i wanted to race so I figured what the hell. I really didn't think that i had a chance and the first run i got a ruff and rutty line so he blew me a way i couldn't get any traction and my quad was hitting all kinds of ruts throughing me everywhere. he smoked my buddy on his stock shee too. I raced him again picking a smoother line and I leaned back a little this time and he was winning by about a 1/2 a quad length and we came neck and neck when I hit 4th and by the time i was gonna hit 5th and the pv really kicked in I was passing him. I switched to 5th and after that i was gone and he had no chance in catching up. this was just stock banshee gearing If you are gonna do a aftermarket cylinder kit I would def. suggest getting either the cub or the cheetah with a 4mm stroke, but if you have the money I would def. go with the cheetah with pv. plus you have to remember you can do alot with the cheetah or cub as far as performance goes.

sry the pics are so small

nice, let me know if you go im always looking for some places to go. i got four friends all with banshees and im sure they'd love it

there both good machines but i would say a banshee. you can do so much more to a banshee. i've been riding a banshee's for about 7yrs now and have owned 3 of them. my most recent is a 2000 that i had minor mods to it and loved it riding anywhere. i just put a cheetah 421 with powervalves in it and i love it even more especially on the roads and in the trails

thats sweet im from the troy area. i have a friend that owns a lot of land with a little graval pit that we turned into a decent little track but riding in the same place all the time kinda sucks do you know anywhere a little closer to albany, around there

im from upstate ny and the trails around where i live are becoming blocked off everywhere i go. and im starting to get annoyed with having to keep moving cut down trees. anyone know of any good places to tear in ny, or if there is any runs going on come spring time
