If I remember right, I think right around 1200 up to 1300 F, although I wouldn't take my word on that. (that would be max temp)

If you plan on doing it seriously, and want to possibly go somewhere with it (one day pro) then yes get the 450. It handles better than banshee, and won't wear you out as quick. But if you're just going to be doing it for fun, pimp out the banshee, and show some people that king isn't dead and gone yet.

Ok, when you are replying, the box containing all the smilies. I used to be able to see them all at once, now I have to scroll. Minor sure, thought Id bring it up though. And some of them don't look right (missing some transparency) <- see what I mean.

Uh, dead smack in the middle of the page, where it says Sport in big letters, it says sport atv under that. And right to the left of that it says utility atv. Maybe time for new glasses

I swear, if Dirtwheels just mentions something nowdays, everyone runs away with it thinking its really going to happen.

Uhhh, don't do that. Prying of any sort could/will bend or warp the flywheel. Don't be cheap, just buy the puller, its $10.

As far as the rear tire size, to me it depends on what kind of terrain you're in, as in what would be hitting your skid plate with 20" tires. Rocks tend to do a lot of damage, so in that case maybe 22s, but other than that, just get 20s. Big tires suck horsepower, and they don't bite as well as smaller tires. Get 9" rims though, and 21" tires up front.

Yep, I haven't found anything yet that will hold them solid without wiring them. Most of your glues (spraypaint, hairspray) will hold them on, but they still turn.

If retorqueing the head doesn't work, then yes get a new one.

Let me guess, you had someone with blue lights on the top of their car tell you it was illegal?

1. Try a different browser. 2. Email planetsand for help.

If you can afford them, get the beadlocks. One you can easily change you're own tires, and two you can keep going if you happen to get a flat.

Remember that scene in Half Baked, when they're flying around the city. Yeah, been there, done that. Oh you mean on a quad, well I did smoke that stuff while sitting on my shee....

Go buy yourself some white high temp paint. Then coat the hell out of the inside of the pipe. It shouldn't blue at all afterwards.

They don't require an accelerator pump, but they tend to suck without one.

I've been running straight 100LL for about 6 months now, and it runs great.

Man you people need to get out a little further, Myrtle beach sucks. If you think you are going to get a better job at the beach, think again. Most of the jobs around the myrtle beach area are simple service jobs. No industry there that would give you a chance of getting a good paying job with benefits. If you're thinking of moving, move to a place that has some opportunities for you, not just some place that has a bunch of sluts in the summer, and is dead the other 7 months of the year.

Hell I was just trying to help you out, but damn, you get your panties all in a knot.

I could sit here and write pages of stuff explaining the physics behind what is going on in the motor, but frankly I don't care what you think that much. Go ahead, warm up your fresh rebuild and rev the piss out the motor. Edit: I will give you a quick and dirty explanation though. Think of the rings and the cylinder wall as 2 different files rubbing against each other. Once you start the engine, the teeth will slowly break off against each other and you will get two smooth pieces of metal. The only thing that can knock a tooth off the rings, is a tooth from the cylinder and vice-versa. If you take it slow, how are the teeth not going to break off eventually? What is going to happen in that period of time that you break it in slow that will keep it from ever wearing down smooth? Answer: nothing. Your rings will seat just fine either way. You want another example: He says people are getting like 10-20 lbs more compression doing it his way right? Well I did heat cycles and took it easy on my motor. 21cc domes at 400 ft elevation. Look at the charts and at sea level I should have 156 (perfect world), and at 1000ft I should have 145. After my break in I had 153 in both cylinders.

It doesn't matter if you let it warm up, once you get on it the engine will run hotter, and the piston is the first thing to heat up (and therefore the rings too). Yeah, he does a good job of making it sound good, but he's full of shit. All his "testomonials" are written by him. You can tell by the sentence construction, word choice and so on. Just go read the rest of his site, he's stupid. Not to mention I've never heard of Team Mototune (or whatever he says his race team was) and can't find anywhere on the net anything about them racing. Kind of funny since he says he was beating the factories Not to mention any engine builder Ive talked to and mentioned mototune, they started laughing right away.

Very true. Motoman is a FUCKING MORON. Anyone who thinks he can get more hp out of a motor than the company that designed and built it is retarded. If you break in a motor hard, all you do is heat up the piston and therefore the rings much faster than the cylinder, and wear the rings out faster (hotter metal is softer). If you break it in slow (heat cycles, take it easy on the first tank of gas), everything will seat just the same.

I've gotten gas from my airport before with my atv in the back, and they don't care. There were interested as hell in the shee and asking me all kinds of questions about it. Guess it depends on where you live then.

87 will run fine too stock without any detonation if your engine is jetted right, and using the right plugs. If you can keep running 93 octane with a shaved head or smaller domes, then you don't HAVE to have it stock. That being said, don't be cheap, run premium.

Martial arts is just that, an ART. Pure martial arts won't win in a fight. If it would, then the UFC would not be the way it is. Kung-fu, karate, whatever, it looks great in movies because they've choreographed the fights so much they know exactly what move is coming next, and how to block it to set up for the next one. Id take Chuck Liddell over either of them any day of the week.

Anybody from the UFC would take either of them.
