Your chain is not stretching.
I had this exact same problem. Whats happening is your Carrier is slipping and turning your rear sprocket.
Unhook your chain and fiddle with your carrier. Try and turn it 180 and see if it will stay in place.
Make sure round house is tight. that might be the simplest soolution.

Save a little money on a different brand swingarm to put into your shock or shock rebuild. Custom Creations is really nice and I like the Quicksand arms. Really great price and you pick the color!
-
I have an RIS and a Modquad on my '02 and my '06 respectively. I prefer my ModQuad because it came in anodized black!
The stock axle nut sucks!
-
Sounds like a nigger rig for sure. Hold off and save money for some parts that are made for your bike.
-
Powdercoat is nice but it costs about 20x as much as a rattle can and you HAVE to take your tires off.
I say tape off the tires and spray em up. Give them a light primer first. If you get extra cash and time later on, go for a PC.
Paint holds up pretty nice.

Keg and Draft beers will mess you up a lot worse than cans and bottles.
Domestics seem to make me sick way more than Imports or Micro-brews.
As far as alcohol, try and stick to the same stuff/drinks all night. Mixing makes for bad mojo. Same with beer, the cheaper stuff seems to make me sick more often.
I get hangovers so bad that thought of it looms over me when I drink. I actually do most of my drinking in the moring and afternoon and try to sober up (or at least mellow out) in the evenings before bed.

I should be out Early Friday till Saturday afternoon. I'll be camping in the deep washes.
BIG GlamisDunes.com group heading out to the Flag Pole on Saturday mornin. Gonna replace the Flag for Vets day.

Look or ask for some on Craigslist. I've thrown a stock pair away when I didn't have any takers.
-
I'd like to make it out in the next 2 weeks but it looks like I wont be out till Veterans Day (Nov9-11).

Graphics ruin a bike. Clean, plain, shiny plastics can't be beat

Sand Tires Unlimited Paddla Brat.
By the way, it's deSert. Not deSSert. Dessert is for after dinner.
-
If you got a good deal on them, get them. It's a solid tire and will work great.
As much as people praise Haulers, Skat Traks are the only paddle I've ever seen come apart. They are light and fast but with the paddles being glued on, problems can arise.
A molded tire will basically last forever.
-
Spend the money on the shocks. Go cheaper on the arms as they are not as important as the shocks.
Also, don't focus on the "Dune Edition" just because of the name. Not a top of the line shock by any means.
Some really great riders I ride with swear by PEP.

Can't really undersatnd all of that statement but I know a lot of hardcore Banshee guysa nd racers that prefer the T5s.
If your really serious about staying cool, look into an aftermarket radiator.
I prefer not to take apart my engine if I don't have to. Leave your head alone for now. You'll be fine.
I ride Glamis in the middle of summer and have never had an issue with my bikes.

Online and used. I've seen full sets, paddles and razors on wheels for $200 and less.
-
ok. You guys must be talking about those trails you get in wet sand? Where it gets super rutted out?
Sorry to hear that. My sand is beautiful and dry!
Be careful, you can actually throw your chain off this way.
-
I have these on both Banshees. Freaking awesome! I paid about a hundred bucks more, too.
I think a lot of guys are scared of them because you generally would run these without heel guards.
-
Theres a guy seeling a set on ITP for $100 here:

I went with T5s on my '06. I have never heard a bad thing about the 5's. I've heard a few concerns about the 6's.
The T5s look better to me as well.

Neither weekend for me.
Hopefully 1st or 2nd week in October.
There are lots of sweet spots to camp that not many know about. I reccomend keeping them to yourselves or at least on the down low.
I got my secret spot!

Check your sprockets and make sure are not missing nay teeth.
Make sure your chain has teh proper tension.
Unless you're stuck, your chain should not be touching the sand. Cresting/Transitioning a dune is the only time you should be hitting sand and that's only for a second.
-
As long you are not in wet conditions, I would reccomend pods for every other riding type.
An Airbox is nothing but restrictive trap for muck.
-
I'll be out for Veterans Day too. Big group heading out to the Flag Pole that Saturday morning.

I run clamp on K&Ns. I have for most of the life of my '02 and since day 1 on my '06. I have run dual on the '02 and now I run Single carb setup with clamp-ons on both bikes.
I have had zero problems and both bikes are still on original top end.

I think you need grammar and writing classes.
