well keeps working loose anyways the best way i can explain this is... ya know the round allumn i guess nut like thing that apears to hold the rear sprocket tight and maybe break disk or maybe holding whole axel together for all i understand about it it has a small hole it it and an allen head screw but i cant seem to keep it tight or get it tight enouff? do i need a special tool or is it maybe wore out? id hate to use a pipe wrench but shee needs to hold together is that what reall holds everything tight or am i overlooking something? THX champ6966

MR MOONEY i live in lebanon or. but i ride anywhere i can if were on short local rides we play around in the woods or at sand pits near s. fork santiam river we arde all the dune areas it just depends on where everyone wants to go we like it when we cn get groups together to ride the more the better where are you and you like to ride id like to meet ya for a ride sometime have you ever riden sand lake ? i havent yet but were meeting the sand lake duners club for theS.O.L.V beach cleanup ride on mar. 27 maybe you can join us? rides are always a good thing oh if i was very rich wouldnt my plugs show it and foul out? and would it smoke alot? just wondering what rich plugs look like its my first 2 stroke thx

thx again guys all of you members make this a great site i wish id been smart and got a shee along time ago as for the mods ill figure out whats in bike now and start working on the sugestions u gave me as for timing advance is that an adjustment or is there parts to buy? my suspension seems kinda soft i bottomed out a couple times last weekend taking flight over some razorbacks in florance last weekend and to be honist ive flown higher on old bike without this ever being issue i only weigh about 140 still gettin used to shee that was first time at coast with it all total only rode it about 15-20 hrs lots more ahead though

my shee 2000,T5 Toomeys,K&Ns,350 main jet kit,13-41 gearing (stock?)pulled reeds out and theyre not stock but i dont know what the are the look like theyre made of carbon fiber? anyways what would be the next step for more performance?

right on its my first 2 stroke but runs great plugs are a tan to brown in color every time i check them so i should be good besides it runs good enouf to take my brothers yfz 450 with similer mods once we hit 4th gear so i cant complain you know how brothers are

thx guys shee runs great now so no reason to change what iv been doing although ive only ran 5 tanks since i bought it a month or so go hmm i better check compression anyone know stock comp spec? that will tell me if bottom end has any mods?

will there be a noticeable increase in power/performance?

brother has a yfz 450 hmf pipe jet and needle kit K&N w/no lid on air box my shee has T5s K&Ns 350 mains and weve been dragn since he got it stock and w/mods actually mods came after i handed his ass back to him at finish line but after mods its alot closer 1st through 3rd its too close to call but once in 4th i start pulling away and the gap just grows w/ 5th and 6th consistant win in sand drag goes to the shee

this could be stupid question to all you experienced banshee owners but i gotta ask a friend asked me where i get my race fuel when i said ive never ran it he said all banshees do and should what my question is will that run to hot for stock pistons? dont wanna burn a hole or damage powerplant because of one guys advice who dont even own a shee also if i should can i still run long n hard on throttle or do i need to break it up? (big dunes and flats) thx

hey id love to join u guys for a ride im from lebanon and ive got friends in sweethome and albany who would go also we are puting together a web site right now to organize rides and post pics of the action theirs been one trip so far and only 3 pics on it like i said we just started putting the site together and i didnt even get to go on ride because of work but i wont be missing anymore we'll join you though and post pics on our site anyways the next ride we will be goining to is on march 27th if anyone is interested in goining the time and place is posted on our site this ride is organized by sand lake duners and there is a link on our site that will take u there crash28.freewebspace.com

i noticed that my chain on my recently purched banshee is very loose and im not sure on how tight its susposed to be any advice on amount of slack it should have or tips and tricks on making the adjustment would be greatly appreated also what is the stock tooth numbers for front and back sprockets thanks

i just bought my first banshee last week and ive only rode it five times, actually once if you count long and hard on the throttle. what i do know is i love it already with the comfort and right now power that seems to never end that ive been looking for in a bike. anyways what im worred about is the cylenders dont seem to be hitting quite the same and the side w/ the choke lever on it is smoking more then the other. they just dont seem to sound in senc with one anouther at idle. it dosnt cut out or have a noticable miss when riding, as far as i can tell it seems to run great, it starts right up cold or hot, has great power,idles w/o dieing. i changed plugs even though neither of the old ones were fouled (they both looked good and the same as one anouther) but the one cylender still smokes more then the other its not alot of smoke but is defintlly noticable, is this normal and how do i know if the idle is set the same or correctly on the two carbs? any help or info i can get would be great, were gettin ready for a hard ride at the coast and i dont want anything to happen to my bike due to lack of knowledge or experence w/ the double cylender powerplant that i already love but have alot to learn about thanks champ6966
