  1. it turns fine. i was just scared to hit it. ive been taking off my whole front suspension and i feel like if i hit something too hard it will break so ive been trying to tap tap the ball joints and hubs loose. tapping doesnt work though. took me a long time to figure that out.
  2. damn. both are nice bikes. good trade.
  3. check your video card/integrated video drivers. audio drivers too. what did you do to your computer to update it? what kind of system do you have?
  4. lol werd. youll be working on it as much as you ride it. apparently they have a lot of stuff just fails on them. still a fun bike though.
  5. lol. and i was unsure the whole time. thanks for confirming me guys. but do the reeds atomize the gas and fuel too? or is that done in the carbs?
  6. nice man. sounds like you got a good deal. got any big plans for it?
  7. i like how in 3 pages there hasnt been a straight answer. im not gonna explain it though.
  8. tell him that jets control the mixture of air and fuel that go into your carbs. your jetting is the size of the jets you have and you need to change your jets depending on your elevation and temperature because depending on those your engine will need more fuel or air. carbs suck in air and gas, mix them together and sends it into the cylinders. with the help of reeds it is atomized, goes into the cylinder gets compressed fires bing bang boom your engine revs when you hit the throttle because you are opening your carb slides which brings in the air and fuel. The pistons are what move up and down in the cylinders. the movement pulls the mixed gas and air from the carbs through the reeds. into the cylinders and then combusts inside the cylinder which causes causes power. the more throttle you give it the faster they go. rpms = revolutions per minute. your crank revolves which causes the pistons to move up and down. porting has to do with removing material from the inside of your cylinders, reed cages, or carbs. when you grind away the metal leaving bigger ports you get more fuel and air in the cylinders which = more power. i think. i dont really know what im talking about. i could be totally wrong. but from what ive gathered that sounds right. can anyone correct me?
  9. nevermind i got it. just needed a few more whacks.
  10. ive been doing that but i guess ill keep trying. thanks. its also hard because its off the arms and i dont have a vice to hold it.
  11. I was wondering how hard is it supposed to be to get the front hub of its spindle? one side came off easy and the other isnt coming off. is it possible to bend the spindle or inside of the hub? everything went so smooth until now.
  12. didnt read your sig. you could go with 33s, 34s, 35s. get whatever you can get the best deal on.
  13. ive heard theyre really cool. but that was from someone who had never been to any other dunes. im thinking of going down to them sometime. im about 2 hrs away.
  14. some of us go to the doctor and they have this growth chart. it maps out how you are supposed to grow. im not saying im going to be 6'6 but its what my growth chart says.
  15. ok so theres nothing else to do after the pegs, stem and bars then. i just got done spending about 1k on my suspension. and now i have to pay a ticket that i have no clue how much is for. but after all that ill be making the banshee a little more tall people friendly. thanks.
  16. hella cheap!!!!!111!!!oneoneoneone!11
  17. i buy all my tools at pep boys. the perfomance tools have lifetime warranties and theyre cheeeeaaaaap. i got my grinder from them for $30 and it works just as well as my dads $120 one. it may break soon but its got a lifetime warranty. plus it was only 30 bucks.
  18. thats what i was thinking. a modded 400ex will fly. then when that doesnt fly fast enough get a banshee.
  19. theres a nifty feature on this and most other forums called search. its such a beautiful tool too. i use castrol.
  20. i dunno about stock pipes but usually people use oven cleaner and you can scrub them somewhat clean.
  21. you get smoke easy on a hot day. im sure youll get smoke if you run it through the gears. i did.
  22. hey what tall man mods did you guys do? im almost 6'3 and im supposed to be 6'6. the banshee feels a little small, not too bad. but i figure it could be better with the right stuff. i plan on getting bar risers but what else is there?
  23. depends on your state. your 52in tv will cover it alone im sure.
  24. no i dont. so i guess i cant really say anything about you. i took for granted that because you are female that you are not self centered or egotistical when in fact you could be extremely egotistical and self centered but it wouldnt matter if you were because youre so damn sexy.
  25. i thought the new 450r sucked ass. just what i heard. oh well. and the raptor is quite nice because of its efi and its closer to yfz stance. i know in quad magazine they chose the banshee as the ultimate sand machine. that made me happy.
