It was either ride paddles (only tires I had), on a bike I've been waiting almost a year to ride.... or don't ride at all. That's the reason they were on there. Not wether they were better or not.. lol. relax guys.

What color are the shocks?

Yeah, I ran paddles because thats what came on the rims I bought. Like I said I'm getting his stock yfz tires from him and we're going to run again. I'll launch in 2nd this time because first wont hook. I'll keep it updated ';'!

Cause I don't have them... lmao.

Is it possible to ride with out the lower motor mounts? Just the two bolts that hold the motor in? Or is this a must. Thanks, JD

Wes, it definately wasn't bogging from too tall of gearing... lol. She ripped the tires off well through fourth.

Am I the only one missing something here? Where are the threads to those plugs?

Here's my old thread: http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...&hl=Running make sure you take head off and check tops of pistons for holes. Btw, my post was a few years back, I didn't know nearly what I do today ';'!

List your mods because actually... it sounds like a problem I had myself. When it was screaming it doesn't sound like the normal type of engine fire does it? Sounds almost like a buzz? You're running off too low of octane fuel. Either you've raised the compression somehow, or just used a low grade of fuel. What ever fuel you used use a higher octane. Sounds to me as if your banshee is "dieseling" or "detonating" which is running off of pure compression even with no spark. Goodluck, -JD

Just bought some stock YFZ rims + tires for $20 from the kid who beat me.. lol.

So I get the shee jetted pretty spot on today, break it in, retighten everything and go by a field where everyone usually rides. There are about 15 people there, I pull out the banshee.. everyone kind of crowds around to check it out. So I rip across this field a few times, keep in mind I have sand skate II's on. The snow around here has melted the past week, and we got some rain.. all morning in my yard I'm pulling 3rd gear power wheelies and getting great traction. The ground is kind of soggy and soft. The field is mowed & grassy, very short grass. So I ask a kid on a piped yfz450 to line up with me and we drag the first time we're dead even, second time he jumps off the line and I catch up to him for another dead even finish. To me thats considered a loss considering my mods. The kids watching told me my paddles were just breaking loose and not catching traction, I was also taking off in 1st vs him in 2nd. But he got traction with some holeshots. I was wondering what I could do to improve traction.. besides race in sand. Do marvin shaws make a huge difference? I'm considering my options here to make sure this wont happen again.

Edit ;!

Amazing accurate discription. I'm going to try to fatten up the pilot + raise the needle to try-n smooth out the power a tad bit. the powerband hits waaaaay too hard, traction isn't even possible.

You have a PM...!?

dibs.

Coolhead, pipe clamps, silver plastic(Clean), Could also use polished brake + shifter. Let me know what you got. Thanks, JD

Not a "pipe clamp on"... I said I "don't have the pimp clamps on"... lol. Between the stinger and expansion :thumbsup:

Thanks for the help. I ordered CEL needles today. Here are a few pictures of the port job, I bought these used and they're nothing real special so I don't think jetting then would be too bad. I'm going to order a cool/noss head over the weekend with some 19cc domes and get the compression where it needs to be. I appreciate the feedback. - JD

I'm wondering if the 35 is too much carb for this setup?

Make sure you hold the throttle wide open when testing. After you get it started I believe your compression will raise a bit.

So I got my shee project up and going after more than a year of frustration. It starts second kick. I have mods below: I'm at 500ft elevation, I had the head shaved .020" I haven't checked compression yet. drag ported stock cyl 66mm bore vforce3's shearers B8ES plugs Also running 99oct, 32:1 with yamalube 2R 35mm pwk carbs and K&N pods on it. Jetting forum guys told me 155 main 48 pilot. Local shop had a 50 and a 42 pilot (I got the 155 main also). Got home jetted it, first was 155 w/ 50 pilot wouldn't get into the power band sounded boggy and out of tune. changed the needle to second clip down instead of fourth, and put in the 42 pilot. Sounded a little more responsive but still didn't get into the power band and nowhere close to where it should be. I went back to the shop and we looked up what needles he ordered me, instead of the CEL needles, he got me the JJH needles which are almost the richest needles you can buy. Does this sound like the problem? Any input is appreciated. Also, don't have pipe clamps on.. heard this can cause some jetting issues?

What do you want to learn, what do you need help with? Do you own a banshee? Are you buying a banshee? Post your problem, you don't need someone right there with ya there are plenty tutorials that even a kid could figure out. Ask a question and you'll get an answer. Instead of just sounding like a pyscho who needs more victims... lmao. :yelrotflmao:

No buy it now on the electric scooter? What gives? :thumbsup:
