I run the 17's because of the altitude I ride at. Me running 16cc and 17cc domes is the same as guys at sea level running 18's or 19's or pretty close. When I go to lower altitudes to ride I change them out for some bigger ones.

I actually heard that one in a class when I was in college. Similar joke, but not the exact same.

Short Sand Car is the way to go!

You just answered your own question. Punctuation is also helpful when making posts online. ::

shave off? huh? No need to take a razor to the thing, just unbolt it and get a blockoff plate.

Each one is about 60

They make a system for the banshee that uses 8 and 9 and I've seen some people on PS rig them to use 10 plates. Run over to planetsand and ask them, there's a couple guys over there that have done it. Gives your clutch a lot more grabbing surface, combine that with some heavy duty springs and you are good to go. Or just get a lockup kit. LOL

Check my sig for some of the "other things" he was talking about above. he he Have fun with your new 4mil.

Stock IS around 34-36hp in most cases. Yamaha really dumbs these things down from the factory. Throw every penny you make at them and you can really wake them up. Its not really that hard to get a banshee up around 80-90hp on race gas. Put them on alky and it gets even more ridiculous.

I still have no idea WTF you are talking about with this o-ring. Clutch housing means nothing to me. Are you talking about the clutch cover, clutch basket, what...??? There is no o-ring on the back of anything in the clutch area. The only o-ring on the clutch side of things is on the water impeller line where it goes into the clutch cover. I still have no idea what you are talking about. Take a picture of it and we can help you. Also, what are you doing working on someone elses stuff if you don't know what you are doing? Get a clymer manual if you are lost with something. :beer:

I've seen a lot of them explode from people trying to just toss them in a lathe and start chopping. You have to have a centering wheel for one and you have to have a way to balance the flywheel after you are done cutting. Its not just throw it in there and buzz it with your tool and bolt it back on the bike. It might work and be what your looking for, but in most cases under a year it will crack and explode inside your sidecover. I've also seen them take out crank bearings from being out of balance.

If you guys wanna save some money buy another stock fuel valve and install it on the other side of the gas tank. Run one line from each valve to each carb. Pretty much all a pingel is. Cheap and it works.

I second that one! When I first built my cub I couldn't find any good pipes so I ran it with T5 pipes and my 33's. Yeah, it was an animal but it was like making that thing try and exhale through a straw. I finially got the CPI's and it woke that beast up. If you expect to do any kinda trails you should really consider ported stock cylinders because the cub will just have too much of the wrong kinda power for trails. Yeah, you can ride it on trails if you are good, but you will be doing nothing but riding the clutch, on and off the gas, hitting your brakes every time it gets in the powerband. Cubs hit like a freight train all at once, not really good for trails. They are great for the dunes though, but even still I would prefer something with powervalves for just recreational riding.

Mine does this sometimes at walden. One of those things that I would hear and just cringe until I found out what it was... Going up the big sand hill my rear sprocket would drag in the sand and load up with it. It would be so much sand compacted between the chain and sprocket it would pop and jump teeth. I marked the chain and sprocket with a grease pen and sure enough it would jump 3 or 4 teeth by the end of the day. Buy a new chain and sprockets and re-adjust the tension and you will be good to go. Don't remove your rollers it will jack stuff up more than likely.

All my plastics are painted with bedliner then spray paint over that. Works great. If you bend them hard though it will crack off just like anything else on atv plastics. Holds up really good to normal abuse though.

It also depends on what gauge you use. Rippen and I noticed this with some of the temps I have reported. What I would consider high on my gauge is what other people ride at. My normal reading on my gauge riding around the dunes in 100

K&T makes a nice intake. Dunno if they make it or get them from someone and call them theirs, but they are nice. Billet and have built-in crossover tube.

LOL he didn't ever metion that one to me. What a doofus! I wish he would bring his yellow ass out here to KP so we could ride together again. That first time was kinda gay since neither of us were where we are now with tuning.

I run mine at 9

Your pipes will clean out on their own once you get it running right. hot gasses around 1200

Just off the top of my head I don't remember any o-ring behind the clutch. Look at the thread I made about splitting the cases with walkthrough pictures and see if you can see the o-ring thing you are talking about in that topic. - jared

The spcial classroom always had pretty colors on the walls, I will miss it.

If you part it out let me know I would buy a lot of stuff off you.

Same sorta thing happened with me & Rippen. We both got our engines back about the same time and the first couple times we races Rippen was right with me if not in front of me. That was a long time ago though and we were both off a lot on jetting. we haven't run them again since them, but it was damn close that time. I do all my own work, rippen had all his stuff done by FAST. I'm kinda eager to race him again now that I got jetting where it should be, I'd like to see how my stuff does against a professional builder. I've always been a home-shop guy and only send stuff out for porting, everything else done in-house. Not sure I will send stuff out for porting any more either, I will probably go back to doing my own porting as well, like I did on a few stock cylinders. Jeff appears to know his shit though, I will give him that! Rippens bike runs good! I was really impressed when I rode Rippen's banshee for the first time.
