What is the best way to make my plastics look like new again? I have a set that is less than a year old that have a lot of small scratches in them.

Which pipe is better the toomey t-5 or the fmf sst?
-
I have one of those lids that i used one day for about an hour. I didn't like the way my bike ran. My bike requires more air. I will sell it if anyone is interested. $50 plus shipping. I paid around $100 for it.

Ok, i should have listened to you guys, but i'm stuborn and didn't. I took the bike out i'm haveing problems with the tires locking up when i make a sharp turn. They still spin and all but i can't get out of the turn until i stop. I talked to the guy and he is real cool. I'm sending them back today for a full refund. Now what ones should i get? I was thinking quicksands. I don't have much money. What are good ones at a cheap price? l
-
Well, i had the full flight a-arms on there, but i just took them and are sending them back. I have big tires all around, i think the fronts are 21 or 22, not 100%. I think i'm gonna get the quicksands.

I just pu +2 a-arms on my bike yfz shocks. It sitts a little high but no too bad. When i turn real sharp the tires get stuck and i can't get out of the turn. This can't be normal. What is wrong with my setup? How can i fix it?
-
Is it just me or does anyone else have a problem of having your tires turn too far and get locked up. Now that i put these +2 a-arms on, if i go to make a sharp turn i can't get out of the turn unless i come to a stop and really turn hard on them. This can't be normal. Does anyone no whats wrong with my setup? I also have the yfz shocks on there and the sit a little high. Would that be the problem? What about those steering stabilizers, would that fix my problem?
-
I think with the coolhead you are supposed to run race gas with domes 19cc and under. Double check on that though. I have 17cc domes and run race gas.
-
Yeah show some pics if you have them. I put mine on and it sitts too high. I'm not sure if i wanna take the preload out. Any recomendations?
-
I just bought the intakes from boss racing. They don't have a boost bottle, should that give me more top end? If so, how much will it take off off the bottom end?
-
When i first put my stroker kit in i had what ever came stock in the 33mm carbs, and it used to make a louder and more crisp pop sound. I went up in the main jet to like 180. Would that cause the loud and crisp pop to mellow out a bit? Would boing up to 180 cause a lose of top end? I just ordered the main and pilot jets you recommended. Do i have to do anything to the needle or anything else? I'm gonna have my friend, who is a yamaha mech., adjust the air to fuel ratio. I read about people changing the clip position i think. Does any of that concern me or will i be good with changing the main and pilot. Sorry, i'm a retard when it comes to this stuff.

I have yfz 450 shocks mounted on +2 a-arms, but the front sitts a little higher than normal. How can i take the preload out? Is that the right thing to do?
-
I'm gonna get it ported this summer. Thanks for the advice.

replaced stator, coil and cdi still no spark

I had the same problem and the pickup coil on the stator was just a little too far away from the flywheel. Try that. I hope it works. I've been there with the frustration -
wiseco 4mm stroker, bored .20 over, no port done yet, coolhead with 17 cc domes,v-force reeds, boost bottle, keihin 33mm cards, intakes are being put on soon(boss), prodesign filter with no lid, 15 tooth front sprocket, stock size in rear. i have a lighened flywheel, toomey t-5's, and I run vp 112. It runs good, but i think top end could be better. After i smoke people off the line, they don't pass me but they work there way back. Me and a good friend have been talken shit for a while, we both have the fastest bikes where we ride, but we haven't raced yet. I don't want to lose. I'll never here the end of it. He is a much better rider, but i have a faster bike. I just want her to be running at her best. I would greatly appreciate any advice to ensure victory.

For the money, even though they aren't powdercoated, they still are a good buy. I want plus 2's on there and don't have the money to buy better ones. Carma's a mother fucker, it will come back to him in the end.
-
I have the shocks all mounted up, but i'm not sure how to take the preload out. How did you do it? When you take the preload out, what does it change about the shock? Are they softer, does it bottom out, i'm not familiar with what preload is at all, please explain.
-
I have a lot of shit done to my banshee, and with all that money in to it i wanna make it run its best. I don't think my carbs are set up right. Is there anyone in NJ who has a dyno and wants the work?
-
Its gonna be way faster!
-
The pickup coil was too far away. You just saved me a lot of $. I love this site!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS

I got the yfz 450 shocks on there with out grinding or making any changes. I have them on +2 a-arms and on an 04 limited frame. All you do is bolt the bottom in first, and then put one foot on the tire and the other on the resivour. They go right in. Ow, i did make on change. To get the top bolt in i used a drill to make the holes line up. Only took 15min. to get them both in.The front end sitts a little higher, but i'm gonna break in the shocks ans see if i can take some of the preload out.
-
I bought a set of these a-arms. They look ok, i don't know how they will hold up to the abuse i'm put on them, but they have a life time waranty. He also says that they are powdercoated BULLSHIT, the paint was chiping off as i put them on. No way that powdercoating should do that. When i get my bike running again i'll see how they do.
-
Is it possible that one of those black boxes went bad and thats why i don't any spark. Any other ideas would be greatly apreciated.
-
It all started after i advanced my timing to +5. I guess i didn't tighten one of the bolts all the way and it came loose after a day of riding. I thought i messed up the stator, so i replaced the stator and sent my fly wheel out to be lightened. I just got every thing back and all together. But, I still can't get any spark. Could advancing the timing have messed anything up? If anyone knows any thing i should check please let me know.
-
I got the yfz 450 shocks on with no problems. I didn't even have to cut anything. You just put the bottom in first, then stand on the res. and push it in. Easy, took like 5 min. i got more pics in my gallery, check em out.
