Not sure about the backfire, but sounds like your throtel cable housing is either broken/cracked, or dosen't have enough play/misrouted (when you turn your handle bars it idels because the throtel cable is getting pulled.)

I need new handle bars and want to use the Moose 1 1/8 CR-Hi bars (rise is 3.75 inch.) Will I clear my Clarke tank using the Moose 1 1/8 universal clamp kit? The clamp kit adds 11/16 inch to the bar height. The stock rise is I think 4.7 so I'm thinking this would work as the stock bars clear the tank. Dennis Kirk part number on the clamp kit is 592926, and the bar is part number 592894. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Anyone know if the Moose universal handle bar clamp kit will work on the stock Banshee steering stem. I want to use the Moose CR-high bars. The universal bar clamp is part number 592926 in the Dennis Kirk catalog. Thanks for any help.

ledofthezep, ya you are probably right, but I'll have a hard time telling him that when I haven't done it to my Banshee. I think I need to ride a piped Banshee then within a few days I would need to pipe mine I suppose.

It is true, but they are only going to draft you. Just making fun. If you join the Air Force I say good for you. Military service is something you will be proud of the rest of your life.

I was riding with a friend last weekend and he was telling me how he was satisfied with the power of his Blaster for trail riding. So we switched bikes for a little while. When we stoped to switch back he was nolonger satisfied with the power of his Blaster and was asking what simple things he could do to get a little more power. I told him he could shave the head for a little more bottom to early mid power. I've got him sold on the idea but don't know where to get it done or how much is safe to take off and still run 92-93 octaine. His Blaster motor will be stock besides this mod. Does anyone know how much to take off and who could do it. I know a Blaster is slow and blablabla but if I get him started making modifications it will be a better machine. Thanks for any help

When I bought my Banshee I had the same decission to make. Both are cool no question, but he 450 costs a lot more. After reading about all the little quirks of the Banshee (no power till the revs come on, not a great trail rig......) I still opted for the Banshee because of how unique it is. What I have found with the Banshee - stock not the best trail rig, but still more than capable of riding trails. With a few hop ups it becomes a great trail rig. I added Works front shocks and a Noss head. These add ons weren't necessary, but greatly improved trail riding abilities. By improving the suspension I can ride the trails much faster, and the Noss very noticabley improved bottom end power. Also new tires go without say. Stock tires 450 or Banshee are crap. Many people say a Banshee does not handel well - those people are wrong. A Banshee just handles differently - you can use the Banshee wheel spinning power to manuver in many trail riding situations. In the end I don't think you will be unhappy with either the 450 or Banshee, and if your like a lot of us here you either wish you could add a 450 to the collection, or are some day going to get the 450 and still keep the Banshee. Likewise if you get a 450 you will still want a Banshee.

That's foot pegs I need I think I have pleanty of Perg's

I'll buy them, or trade. I only have a few parts for trade - black gas tank shroud - front shock/black coil. Both are off a 04.

I am going to have one of the members here lighten my flywheel. I have to order a flywheel puller, and was wondering if a +4 degree key was worth getting while I'm ordering the puller. My question, if installed properly will the degree key stay put? What are the possible negative affects of advancing the timing by 4 degrees? Last, I'm running Mr Noss' head with 21cc domes on an otherwise stock motor.

Yellow plastic $150 + shipping sound like a deal?

sredish, ok that helps I think I have a better understanding now. The advantage is better flow, and more fuel. So the trinity is a constant velocity carb, what is the stock carb system called?

Do you by any chance still have the yellow plastic?

Noss - I have one and have been happy with it. The others may be fine too, but Noss gives us a deal and the product is top notch.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to look into the 33mm single, and an air filter. I looked on Trinity's web site and they briefly describe the performance of this set up. Sounds like what I'm looking for. I just have to do some more research on it because I don't understand how the performance is gained from the stock two carb set up.
