Just out goofin around on a couple of the local lakes

ya know I use the self tappers all the time and know I understand why not to use them. I am dumb sometimes. Because of the tip that cuts through the metal would do nothing for holding them into the tire. Man I need to ride and clear my head. Thanks guys

so if you do not use self tapping how do you start them?

I don't want to spend a shit load of $$ on tire studs and I have read that you guys are using sheet metal screws. Which ones do I buy? Self tapping? I do not want to cause a leak so how do I know what length? Just into the knobby correct? Is there a pattern I should follow(front and rear)? How much psi do I run in the studded tires? Sorry about all the ???'s Thanks for the help and have safe and happy holidays!!

I have a stock 2002 and winter is coming here in NH quickly and I want to stud the tires and ride her on the ice. I was told to make sure I jet the carbs and someone else told me not to worry about it because I havn't touched the jets that came in it so it is probably running really fat anyway (I think he is saying rich). She starts 1 or 2 kicks every time cold with the chock hot w/o. Smokes like crazy at first then as it warms up smokes less. I do not know what size jets are in there know and I havn't done a plug check yet. Do you think I could leave it alone?

If all you have to do is unplug things than what is the kit that is sold????

Hey badlarry where ya from in NH. I just started riding again in NH and always lookin for a good place to go.

I have a cut in the sidewall of front holeshot. It didn't rip the tire wide open just down to the fabric, just enough to slowly leak. Should I replace the tire or can I run it with a tube? I have a tire plug in it know so it doesn't go flat in it's parking spot, will this last in the trail?

when you get there find rt 1 south and then get on rt 1a south and follow the coast line down to hampton beach. The ride there will be very enjoyable. Some nice twisties. Hampton beach on a nice weekend night is very busy. I don't know how old you guys are but if you are in early twenties you will have a good time there. If it is busy there you will sit in traffic from people just cruzzin around the strip. Ussualy tons of bikes.

Are these air pressures the same with all tires? I have hole shots on mine. I have a cut in the side wall of my front tire, should I put a tube in it or just replace the tire? The tare did not put a big hole in the side but the guts of the tire are showing enough that it looses air. I pluged it with tire plugs for know just to move it around.

why is the 927 such a different ratio? Is it a better lubricator, thicker, thinner? What is the diff. on those plugs? Better for stock? Thanks a lot for the info!!!!!!!!!

What is a good replacement spark plug to use on a totaly stock 2002 banshee and what gap. Also what is a good premix to use in the fuel? What octane and mix ratio should I use? Thanx

front stock rims for banshee?

do you still have the stock front rims? and brake light?

thanks guys!! Boonman my wife will be taking care of the watching of the parts purchases. Between this my harley and my truck she'll have her hands full. Although my new son gets all the purchases now. I was shocked when I told her about this deal and she asked what I was waiting for. I am lucky I have a great wife.

Thanks. So these systems are legal?? I thought I heard the cop in the woods say if it is not a stock exhaust it can't go in the state trails. So how do I prove to this person that these pipes are OK? Or is he just supposed to know? Sorry for these queston the last time I rode you didn't have to worry about this crap!!

I was just about to ask the same questions. But I cannot run after market pipes where I live if I want to ride the state trails. PD patrols them and are very strict on pipes. What can I do?

Hey Banshee33 where in plaistow do you ride? I would like to go I am just down the street in raymond. Does the quad need to be regestered? I do not want to pay now and in june that would suck. I feel the same way about not needing any trouble with the PD I'm 28 and have a baby and wife at home so can't be pissen off the PD. Tons of trails by my house but have to be regestered and the PD are eveywhere in the trails busten no reg., pipes, speeding. How the hell do you know what 35 mph is on your 4-wheeler, thats what I want to know.

I am going to pick up a 2002 banshee that I bought from a friend who's son fell off and scared himself into not wanting to ride anymore. Did not flip it, just fell off in some rough terrain. What are some things to look for or make sure are done before I take it out in the trails? One of the mechanics at his shop who rides a lot (400EX) is the person who has been doing the maint. on it. So from what he says it is mechanicly sound. But I want to be sure. I have been out of this fun for a long time ( I had an 87 banshee back in 1990) and I didn't know how to care for it then.
