  1. Sandstar 22 X 11's mounted on Douglas rims used one time at Silver Lake. Rims are in fair shape with a few scratches, but the tires are like brand new. Asking $160. Can e-mail pics if requested ****SOLD*****
  2. What kind of bike you selling. I'm getting rid of this to buy a thumper to make street legal. I am willing to meet, or deliver up to 150 miles for $1.00 a mile one way. If you have any questions call me at (989) 225-0815 Thanks Chad
  3. Pretty much all stock mods are as follows: -FMF Gnarly pipes with PC1 silencers (fresh repack) -K&N filter with Pro Flow no lid on box -New clutch (yamaha plates/discs, ball, rod and arm) with Toomey clutch springs Bike runs great, and I'm asking around *****SOLD***** Sorry for such small pics. I can e-mail larger ones if requested
  4. I just replaced my clutch about 2 weeks ago. Everything went fine and has worked well since....about 4 rides. Last night while riding, I down shifted and the had the clutch pulled in (Not for an extended time while coasting). when the clutch engaged on it's own. It felt like the cable broke...no tension on the lever, but after looking at it the cable was fine. The clutch was pulled in, but not disengaged. I haven't pulled it apart yet, but was wondering if this sounds like the ball welded to the rod, or what. LEt me know what you guys think. Thanks!
  5. Q#7:What are some indications that my jetting is rich? A#7:A slightly rich condition will result in noticeably reduced performance, or "bog". Say your main jets are one size too rich, it starts and runs fine, but whenever you have the throttle pinned (or Wide Open Throttle=WOT), the motor doesn't continue building RPM; it bogs down because there's too much fuel per volume of air and it cannot burn efficiently. Other indications of being rich are fouled plugs, thicker than normal exhaust smoke when the motor is fully warmed up, and the dreaded overheating. Be careful of these symptoms though, as any of them alone may point to a non-jetting related problem (thick white smoke is more likely a head gasket leak, fouled plugs could be a weak stator). While overheating due to a rich condition is not common on Banshees (typically the plug will foul and not fire before it gets too hot), it's still not a good idea to run for extended periods with the jetting too rich. Periodically reading your spark plugs is a good way to get an idea of your overall jetting; if the center electrode (the part that's snow white when brand new) and base ring are light chocolate brown, you're jetting is perfect (slightly rich); if it's black and wet, you're too rich. Doing a plug chop will tell you for sure if your mains are too rich or lean (more on this later). Another trick is to warm up the motor, pop the choke out to the first notch, and ride it; if it bogs worse with the choke out you know you're too rich. Some motor mods will cause a rich condition, as well as changes in temperature or elevation (see Q#13, 14, & 15). I know that my bike would boil over when I had it too rich. I live in Michigan and typically jet it for around 60-70 degrees. When I ride in heat,(over 80)I find that it doesn't boil over when I go down a size on the main...Just my .02.
  6. If it is too rich, it'll over heat. What temp was it when you last jetted it?
  7. Would you be willing to part with the springs only? If so Let me know how much you need for them. Thanks Chad
