Its only stalking if they catch you doing it.

Sorry to hear about that james. I'll keep an eye out on all the sites I frequent... -Jared

Just do the work yourself. If you like the banshee more than the old bike just buy a new frame with a title and swap everything frame to frame then go take the guys frame with the mismatched vin number and tape the bos to the frame and throw it through the guys front window. Trans not shifting is a pretty simple fix 99% of the time. Jared

Yes, get a pingel. Also verify that your floats are set correctly. Stock carb bowls are really small and will suck dry pretty easy.

Holy Fucking Thread-Mining Batman!!

He said after about 15seconds it idles back down.

cascade sells the washer and nut for just a few bucks and you can pick up the gasket from them as well. www.cascadeinnovations.net

Sounds like: 1. air leak 2. pilot jet is lean 3. slides sticking. Number 1 is easy to check for... start your engine, let it warm up and spray carb cleaner around all your gasket surfaces and see if you get anything... If that's good, then try a bigger pilot. Also, check and make sure that your fuel tank vent has been drilled out and that your fuel lines are clear and your petcock filters are good. You might have a fuel starvation issue. -Jared

Not torq'd to spec. If you torq the nut to spec it will stay right where its supposed to. It also looks like you are missing the locking washer that sits behind the nut. -Jared

It helps prevent the clutch from slipping when the load on the engine and the power being applied to the clutch would cause it to slip.

Take it apart and ship it with some random junk and just list it as engine parts.

Yes, they will fit 34pj

I am going to call them and see what their explaination is around the name. Im curious what they think its locking out. LoL

Im running the same trans you have in my methanol 10mil. Shift itlike you normally would. You may need to let off a little bit to get the lockup to disengage, but for the most part just beat on it and ride it like normal. Let me know how it works for ya... If your unhappy with it, ill buy it back from ya. Jared

Buy a new factory plug for $1 and tap it in. Ive never once used any kinda loctite on them. The snap rings on your shift fork rods should prevent the shift fork from ever making contact with the plugs if you have everything installed correctly.

Its a monster dune / trail / hillshooter and holds its own in the drag races. Its one of those do-it-all kinda bikes. So far it seems to like the idiot-hole tree-shooting kinda stuff the most. -Jared

Its not a lockout its a lockup. Its not locking anything out, it locks the clutch pack up. A lockup uses centrifugal force and pushes against the pressure plate of your clutch. The faster it spins the harder it pushes against the pressure plate, putting more force against the clutch pack, which essentially locks it all together. Most are typically driven off your inner hub, which is attached to your transmission NOT your crank. So, the faster your wheels spin, the harder it locks up. There are some different types that drive off the outer hub and lock up based on engine rpm instead of wheel speed. There are also different types that offer hydraulic time delay functions and secondary lockup functions so you can custom tune the setup to lock the clutch up when you need it to. In a very generalized form, you want the clutch to slip as you come out of the hole, keeping your engine RPM's up and in the powerband, then as you start to gain speed and go through the gears the load on the clutch gets larger and the lockup starts to come into play and adds pressure to the clutch system to keep it from slipping. -Jared

Yeah, you are probly fine to do the trinity drum, as long as they dont mess with anything else on it.

do the drum bearing mod for sure!

I need 10. Tomorrow. At my Door. Aliens talk to me every night!

Depends on what you are trying to do with it... Without the powervalves, my 485 has the equivalent of a nice drag port. With the powervalves it drops it down to a dune port variable up to a drag port depending on exhaust pressure. I'm just curious what it will feel like without the powervalves. It literally takes about 5min to swap the block-offs for the powervalves. Its easy to swap them. - Jared

I don't mind driving to meet someone, just not during Aug if its a long drive... Aug is our busy busy time of the year and I can't handle the long drive on top of the hours at work. Its still for sale though! I got a set of power-valve blockoffs to try out next time I take it out for a ride. I'll post plenty of videos and pics next time I get to take it out. -Jared

I normally have a local machine shop do my drum mods for the second bearing. When they couldnt help me in the time-frame i needed, i shot camatv a pm and he was able to help me out and get the parts back to me before schedule. He was a good guy to deal with. -jared

They are for your transmission bearings.
