what are you looking to get for the swingarm?

thanks for the info, i will give it a try!!

i am buying a set of 33mm pwks, taper bored to 35s. from what he says, the carbs were set up for alcohol. what size jets and needle should i use? here are the following mods: 5mm stroker longrod stage 3 port polish coolhead w/21 cc cut domes pro circuit pipes and silencers k&n pod filters i am running at sea level any help would be appreciated. i just need a good starting point thanks

i guess, honesty is he best policy...hahahaha

If you are putting that on you'r shee, i dont think you will have much trouble drag racing. no one would want to get in fromt of you!!!!

dude, you are a gonner! i have a friend that has a cr500 with very little mods if any. he spanks the shit out of highly modded banshees regularly. power/weight=you are screwed!! but have fun though

before putting you'r shee away, did you drain the carbs and get it set up for storage? gas will only stay good for so long. you may need to pull you'r carbs, clean them thouroughly, drain all gas and replace with fresh.

check to see if you'r shift shaft is bent. i had a similar problem and checked mine. i put it on a straight-edge and of course it was bent. as soon as i put a new one in, it shifted perfectly!!

i agree with cotton, just ask ozzy, and he can tell you a bone stock shee will bite you!!

you can get aviation fuel from the airport, which is the highest octane you will get in town. other than that you can get race fuel at the yamaha shop, and the germinators vw shop.

how does you'r plug look after running w/o? shut it down immediately after and you should have a ligt to med. brown color. any lighter and you are running too lean.

well, it sounds to me, you may want to change you'r mains. i dont know why you should need to, but if you have to pull you'r choke out to get a bit more gas, then i thing some mains are in order!

that thing is a bit different. a sleeper in 400 plastics!!

Both Banshee HQ and Bluetraxx are different sites. So, lets leave it that way. There is no reason to get into a pissing match. Both sites have their info to offer. Leave it to the individual to determine which he/she likes best. Just because you dissagree with the way HQ is set up, then maybe you should stay on you'r side of the fence. Don't come over here bashing members because they dont show you'r point of views. just my .02 cents

i just recieved a lonestar sprocket hub from him that i had purchased off ebay. he is cool in my book. no problems at all!!! and he shipped them fairly quickly

check for signs of oil all around your base gaskets. that is exactly what my shee did when i first bought it. i replaces the base gaskets, and no more revving out.

you may want to check your compression. a three hour race, i am sure, plays hell on a motor!! but i think you are right about the jets. you shouldnt notice any change considering your bike was running fine. if you are getting spark in the lower gears, i dont see how the higher gears would make a difference. how clean are your air filters?

I agree with jrm. it is time for a rebuild. but first, make sure the guage you are using is accurate. it would suck to tear down a motor when not needed due to a faulty guage!!

i did mine last year, and it was a lot easier than i had anticipated. but buy the book!! i did beforehand, and it made a world of difference. make sure you mark you'r case bolts too. some are shorter or longer than others.

pm me when you leave and maybe i will be able to ride w/you

holy shit yamaholic!! glad to hear you are "ok". definately post some pics, or video!! get beter soon

pull one of the 4 handles underneath and it should start right up.

I am setting up a ride june 4-7th at horsfall in north bend. just hoping to get a bunch of people together for a fun weekend. i have about 15 people wanting to show up now. hope to see you there!!

i run golden spectro 52:1

you may want to get both halves from the same engine!! they are supposed to be a matched set. i read that somewhere, but dont remember where>
