Pilot jet=idle to 1/8 throttle. Needle jet 1/8 to 3/4 throttle. Main= 3/4 to wot. If you have to take your float bowl off to change main jets, why not change the pilot jet, it's right in front of the main jet. Just put in #30 pilots, and play with the air screw to fine tune the pilots. What elevation you ride at?

$1750 isn't terible I guess. It needs something done with all that red all over the place. It needs pipes. I don't think you are getting screwed for $1750, but for say $2500 to $3000 you could get alot more banshee, one with pipes and other mods.

The motor #'s and vin [frame] #'s are different. Atleast on my bikes.

Dead op. I was talking about the blue and red banshee on e bay that dadude has set up a link to. Your white/black shee looks good.

First off, the guy asked for an opinion, I gave it. Second, whats wrong with this.

I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. I like all 2-stroke performance wheelers. Lt, 250r, tecate, banshee, it's all good.

I'm not to impressed with it $2000 tops. It's bone stock, and I bet it needs piston/rings. Plus it looks like the owner got high and went crazy with red spray paint.

I'd like to get a tecate. Would even trade my 87 for one like this.

Great fairy tale. You forgot to add the part about a different woman ever saturday night.

Don't know if this is true, but I've heard using 87 octane will turn chrome pipes blue, and higher octane gas doesn't. My 99 came with chrome pcp's already blued 4 inches from the jugs.

Yeah, if I had a 200 watt stator, I'd have 2 lights x 100 watts. I really don't care how bright my lights are at idle. Just give me the light when I let er rip.

Yep, every block seems to have a snitch these days. Usually some nosy neighbor who has nothing better to do, that is so bitter at life that they have to spread their missery, so they call the cops 2756 times a day complaining about everything under the sun. Got one where I live. People use to mind their own god damm business.

You wouldn't be riding at brushy ridge in astoria, or Eilers in chandlerville would you? Springfield you say? I live near Beardstown. Lot of sand here in different spots, but alot of country back road riding to get to them.

Where I ride, it's mostly sand. Any town on the illinois river is built on sand, and around here the us army corps of engeeners dredges the river every year, and dumps the silt at various spots. They have been doing this every since there was barge traffic on the illinois river. Where you live in central Il.

I ran bel ray thumper semi synthetic 20w 50 in my ds. You could probily use it in your shee's tranny.

My 87 has powder painted itp steel wheels {off set}. Had it done for free where I worked. If you have aluminum wheels, I would go powder paint, simply because wet paint doesn't stick to aluminum very well. If you have steel wheels, have them media blasted, then use black primer, then gloss black paint. Good thing about using a rattle can is if you get scratches, you can touch up the scratched area. Bansh88 is right, 2 mins of riding in sand, and its hard to tell what color they are.

I know this is laughable, in the nov dirt wheels, in the "classic moments" section it said that in febuary of 94, at el mirage dry lake bed, dw riders went 79mph on a stock banshee. Just adding pipes they say {I suppose they jetted it} it went 87mph. Then a super modded shee [what ever that means} went 118mph They used a radar gun to measure the speeds. I may be wrong, but I don't think a stock shee will go 79mph. Damm, why do I buy dw.

I use cheap moose bars now [$15]. Mainly because when I had tag t2 bars, they were so tough that in roll overs they twisted my stems every time. Something had to bend, and it wasn't going to be the t2's. Alot easier for me to replace cheap bars than to replace expensive stems.

To make sure your axel is strait there are 5 or 6 marks on the bottom adjusters. Make sure you have the axel adjusted to the same marks on both sides. My 87 has a 13-42 set up, and my 99 has a 14-41 set up. For sand I like the 13 tooth sprocket. IMO, I wouldn't worry about losing 3 or 4 mph by going to a 13 tooth sprocket. How often do you ride at top speed in the dirt or sand anyway?

2 1/4 turns out with #25 pilots is very lean. I had a similar problem where I had a weak power from idle to 1/8th throtle with 27.5 pilots at 2 turns out. I made it a little better enriching the curcit by going to just 3/4 of a turn out. Finally tried #30 pilots at 1 1/2 turns out, and the lack of off idle power disapeared, I got a strong idle, and stronger power from idle to 1/8th throttle. I suppose you don't need to change pilots, as most banshees spend most of there time in the needle jet and main jet curcits, but if you want the idle to 1/8th throttle curcit jetted properly you need bigger pilots. Anyway, at 3000ft elevation, you might get by with #25 pilots at 3/4 to 1 turn out on the air screws. Personally I would try 27.5 at 1 1/2 to 2 turns out. JMO

I was told the lighting part and ignition part of the stator are seperate. So yeah, the lighting part could be bad and the ignition part could still be good.

Dinnis kirk has them brand new, 2 for $5.

If you are using a lid, try 280's. No lid, try 330's. Either way, run it at wot. If it boggs or stumbles at wot in 6th gear, try the next size smaller. If it doesn't bog try the next size bigger.

If 4-strokes are the future, I'll stay in the past. If ya gotta have a dirtbike, get a 250 2-stroke.

I like the foam filters, and a billet plate set up the best. Anything is better than the stocker. Alba has a plastic plate set up for cheap.
