buy a good one like the T.M.
i bought a cheap billit one off ebay and my chain poped and still cracked the top of my case , would alot worse if i had none at all but still got a small break .
-
i have that milwalky impact gun and its great , i was amazed how strong it is . i also have a air compressior and air impact gun and i use the electric gun alot more just becuase its faster and i dont have to start up the compressior to take off one bolt , but i use the air for the bigger jobs .
just to let you guys know that ingersole rand has 2 lines of air tools , one is made in china and the other in japan (i think ) . one is great and the other isnt .

kx 450 shocks ? cant wait to see the pics , that thing sounds insane
-
last word. screw honda, my bloods blue
the only thing yamaha ever made good is the banshee , the rest of their bikes suck ass .
just kidding i actually just bought a yfz 450 , but i still love honda .
-
i got 27 . and i would beat the living crap out of all 27 .
-
quit school and start selling drugs , thats where the real money is !
thats what i would do if i could do it all over again . this 9 -5 shit sucks .
-
all im saying is that suzuki's werent that good in the 80's , i had a zilla and and rm 250 and they both had reliablity isues ,bolts breaking , frame cracks , the honda's i had never had any problems , i think they were just built better .
i have owned alot of bikes in the 20 years i have been riding and honda's are some of the best built bikes around . yamaha's are very good too , suzuki's and kawi's are probably good now but back then i think they skimped out on alot of stuff .

i have smoked crack once. but hey, a 250R with a cr in it isnt ORIGINAL. sure to the owner its one off and original enough but to the enthusiast like me, it still aint factory legend. a tecate by the way will rip a 250R by a few bike lengths.
ive ridden a tecate and a quadzilla. and i know what my banshee will do. im not pro banshee everything nor am i dissagreeing
you guys are right tho, perhaps for rideabilitys sake he should keep it. To you folks who hate your zillas, crate the bitch and ill buy it. ill put my banshee build on hold to get ahold of one of them.
im not saying it is origial , but you would be better using your money to build one then to keep sinking money into unreliable zilla .
and the cr 500 motor will last forever and have way more power .
as for the tecate ripping a 250r in a race , i dont believe that , but i never rode one . but i do know that if they were so good people would have raced them , i remember back in the day at my track everybody raced 250r's .
-
fuck everyone. your all wrong. who cares if its unreliable. built it right and ride it respectivley its FINE>
and may i add, the piston is about fist sized? them cocksuckers sound meaty, like 4 stroke meaty. roost machine, ive ridden one and would kill a baby to own one, that or a tecate. there getting more and more rare by the day i say buy it, totally rebuild it. yea so what time money... build a banshee aftermarket if you really want one. the old zillas are worth MORE every day stock than your average banshee. and a piped zilla will eat a shee
you my friend are smoking crack .
zilla's are the biggest pieces of shit out there , slow as shit for a 500 , unreliable , handle like crap and are big and ugly .
and the tecate , im not even going to get into that one .
as for a piped zilla eating a shee . your just crazy . actually i have yet to see a zilla run for a complete race without falling apart (head gasket , frame cracking, stator problems) . i made the mistake of buying one once , never do that again !
if you want a 500 quad buy a 250r and shoehorn a cr 500 motor in it , then you will be on to something . thats what im doing right now .
-
lube up , sounds like you got a good oldfashion screwing coming your way .
sorry bud it doesnt look good if he wont contact you back and then he answers other emails .
i would put a stop on the check , better safe then sorry .

Actually its a proven fact that its cheaper to mod out a basnhee than a 450 or raptor 700, I had like $3000 in mods alone with my 450 not including how much the quad was when I bought it new it was $6700 an I wasnt even close to being done with it thats why I decided to trade it in an get a banshee. For $3500 I could have a banshee faster than most 450s an 700 raptors, except for the drag 450s an raptors.
cub cylinders an a 4mil crank an bigger carbs= faster than most 4strokes
im not trying to start a fight either .
but you are comparing a used banshee to a new 450 in price ,
if you buy a brand new banshee put pipes , k+n filter and jet kit and race it against a new yzf 450 with a pipe , K+N filter and jet kit , with 2 equal skilled riders the banshee will lose every time . if you dont think so you are kidding your self .
if you start talking cubs , crank , big bore pipes , then yes the banshee will win .
but look at the price of those mods.
i have both a banshee and a yzf 450 .
my banshee has a good amout of port work , v force reeds , 30 mm carbs , cool head , k+n , toomey t-5's , runs on race fuel ,
my yfz 450 has lrd pipe, jet kit and K+N filter .
they are very close in a race , the 450 is faster off the line but the banshee takes it in top end ,
-
yea these new 450s and raptor 700 are no joke.. they definitly are not 400ex's.. but on the other hand, i think certain guys (who own them) are trying to give them more credit than is due...
they deserve all the credit they get , it takes alot of money and motor work to get the same power out of a banshee that a 4 stroke has with just a pipe , jet kit and air filter .
im not knocking the shee , there is nothing like riding one , but unless you open up the motor (porting , carbs , stroking) 4 strokes just have a advantage with similar mods .

socom , mine is Major Wood

what are you talking aboot ? :yelrotflmao:
i had to do it . lol
-
Thats not true hahaha. i also have a 89 banshee and i know the spindles dont fit 91 and after hubs.
PUT THAT IN YOUR REPAIR MANUAL.
i still have the spindles off my 1990 j arm and just put them next one of a 2002 and they are the exact same .
but your probably right and the repair manual is wrong .
-
1990 was not j-arm.
yes it was !
-
i got two of them here if ya need it.! used front suspension parts may be cheaper to get for them. not sure if they're lighter or not. brake calipers and spindels are different too(i have a set of those as well). the original rear carrier is also a bit different on J-arm bikes but doesn't matter much.
thats not true , the carrier is only different on the 87 , and the spindles and brakes are different on the 87 -88 , i had a 90 j-arm shee and the bearing carrier and the spindles were the same as the a arm . if you look in the repair manual it tells you the years parts are different .
-
Really?? I didn't hear about that. That is complete bullshit. I try to sell stuff on the boards I visit, and use flea bay as a last resort. They chased me away long ago with their dumb ass policies.
Haven't seen you around in a while.
ya im back , parked the shee and was racing my new crf 450 this past season . was cheating on the HQ with a dirtbike forum .

the message said there will be new rules to ebay feedback , all sellers will only be able to leave positve feedback , they cannot leave negitive feedback unless the buyer doesnt pay for the item . and the buyer can leave positive , negitive , neutral feedback .
. ebay should start protecting the seller , the seller is how ebay makes its money . its bullshit . -
dont waste a bore if you dont need it. hone it and get a set of stock size wiseco pro-lites and put them in and check your ring end-gap. If its too big, then do the bore and go to the next size. Most times you will be able to just get away with a hone job and be good to go. Just be sure to check your piston/cylinder clearance and ring end gap before you just slap it together and ride it.
- Jared
why would you buy new pistons then check and if its not good then bore the cylinders and buy a new set of pistons , doesnt make sense to me .
-
i bought a aftermarket thumb throttle off ebay , and its the best thing i ever bought , 100 times better then the stock POS . looks trick too (chrome and red)
-
a grease fitting will help a little , mostly it will stop the axle from seizing in the carrier , the bearing are sealed . how often they need replacing depends on what type of terrain you ride on , if you ride in the mud and water the will wear out faster . i have 2 seasons on my bearings and i ride my shee in sand , water , snow , all year long . check to make sure your axle nut is tight and not causing the play . and dont buy the cheap bearing off ebay .
-
get the cylinders bored and honed , if you are doing the motor you might as well do it right . its not much more money . 120-150 bucks . some times you can get away with just a hone if your cylinder wall are clean . at least get them checked out to see if they need a bore .
if its worth doing then its worth doing right !
-
i had the same carbs , the fuel lines are a different size , go to the hardware store and make up your own . carb will fit on stock boots but its a tight fit . takes some stretching . performance gain is well worth it . dont take it to yamaha , take your time and you will get them on .

usually you get what you pay for . if its a cheap price then its probably a cheap chain . i wouldnt skimp out on a chain , could break and crack your engine cases . not worth trying to save a couple bucks in that department .
