I can hit 5th going up our big drag racing hill and catch 6th quite often out on the open spots at KP. I don't have much trouble getting 6th gear. Last time I had my shee out there and counted up to 6th gear I was running 15x41 gearing with 22" extremes. It won't pull in 6th but I can cruise around in it without bogging down at all. You need more power!

Sorry, no pics from today. I was the ONLY person at KP all damn day today. I love days like that. 10k + acres all to myself. Mwahahahaha! Didn't do anything exciting worth taking pics of. Sorry man.

If that's the case, sounds like you might have an air leak somehwere making the cylinder lean. Or you might have a warped head or warped cylinder letting something past it shouldn't. I always blew up my 87's top ends in like a week. It has a cylinder that was an oval shape and the head was warped come to find out. Some guy wanted the chassis for a hill shooter so I scraped the whole thing and sold it.

Is the welder you are going to use an AC, DC+ or DC-

Just cut and re-weld your current pegs. Lots easier.

Yeah, def. don't try and stick weld those flimsy little gussets the factory puts in there. You will just melt right through it. On a side note... tig is the best way to weld on a frame. cleanest and best looking welds, also strongest. But you have to have some experience with a tig. Its not a welder you can just sit down and learn with, you have to have some kinda training or a lot of experience with them to do good work. Wire-feed is the way I would go if I didn't have access to a tig. MIG will def. be easier than a stick welder on your frame. Start with your voltage low and work your way up until you find where you need to be. You don't want to be burning holes through your frame all the time, then you will have to worry about fixing those. What a mess that would be! Remember, if your voltage is low the welds will just pile up without penetration. You can always grind off and clean it up if it piles up, but it will be more difficult to try and fill in a hole you burned through the frame. And you will be making a weak point. I usually have my voltage regulator on my miller set at 20.3volts if I am doing wirefeed work on the banshee frame. Feed Rate is just a hair under 4 on the miller unit I use. Take some pictures of your welds and we cna give you advise on what to change to do better if needed.

I let people ride mine quite a bit. Shit happens, I have all the shit I need to fix anything that might happen to it. I tell them if they fuck it up they just have to help me fix it. No big deal for me. Usually if they ride mine I'm riding whatever they have. It goes both ways. Quite a few four stroke guys have ridden my shee and sold their thumper and showed up on a 2-stroke the next time I saw them. We have to convert the masses you know...

I'm going to the sand dunes bitches! See you later.

I hope its not his frame, because he will have a lot of fun with a stick. haha Tig all the way baby!

I bet he won't be too happy when I roost him with wet sand. What a moron.

You are lean or getting some bad detonation. Jetting and some higher octane fuel might be in need.

Ha Ha! How do you fuck a fat chick? Slap her and ride the wave in. ha ha ha ha ha

You should come back. You probably have quite a bit of banshee info you could share with some of the new guys.

I agree. People always think they can turn around and sell ATV's for what they bought them new for. Not going to happen.

I'd go with the stroker crank as well. Stroker, porting to match the added stroke, cool head with some higher compression domes to give you more bottom end. You would still probably have some $$ left over to get started on suspension parts. I'd get the rear end done first since the front will tend to be more expensive and you might not have enough $$ left over to do the front after the engine build.

I'll get you some measurements next time I'm out in the shed and should have them to you by this evening.

GAG! Good luck with that one. Free bump

My name is jared and I'm a bansheeholic. We meet nightly and look forward to seeing you as part of the group.

Because they are a POS and break all the time and you can't find parts for them any more.

Industrial corrosive solvent and 3000psi pressure washer. Gets EVERYTHING off the banshee, including the banshee. lol I will use the car wash from time to time, just be careful what you aim that thing at. Other than that I just use the hose at the house and some 409 or simplegreen.

I got 13hp from my boost bottle. Then I woke up.

Totally stock bike, nothing at all done to it? Elevation? Temp?

Chase, that's exactly what I had in mind. Mounting wouldn't be hard. Mounts are easy to make.

You could also borrow one from a friends bike. There has to be other banshee's around where you live.

I have to agree. This is not worth me thinking about who would win. ::
