Are the V3s ready to rock? Is that $150 shipped?

Sweet, thanks

Thank you very much for your help.

Yeah I knew I would have to test the compression once the domes were in but I just wasn't sure if having a higher compression (just say 150psi) and +4 timing was still safe on pump gas. Would my best bet be to try it and if I get detonation to back the timing off a little or won't the higher compression affect my ability to advance the timing?

I know there have been a lot of posts lately on the compression/cool head topic and I did use the search button multiple times but I didn't find anything that really answered my question. I don't know a whole lot about this stuff so please bear with me. I am looking to get a cool head and I want to know if I can run +4 timing with 21cc domes on pump gas. If so is 21cc the smallest I can go (with +4 timing) and still run pump gas without detonation? My compression right now is at about 125psi at 800ft above sea level. Thanks.

I am selling my 2001 Yamaha Blaster of which I am the second owner. I purchased it from a dealer who rebuilt the motor boring it 0.020 over. The bike is mostly stock with an FMF silencer. The fenders are spray painted blue and the frame is painted silver. There is also pin striping that I added for looks but it can easily be removed. The bike is in great working order and always starts right up. Hardly ridden and never raced. Sorry for the poor pictures, I can take more in the daytime if anyone is interested. I am located between Pottsville and Reading, PA. I am willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet. I am asking $1200 but I will take offers because this bike needs to go. Any questions or offers, please ask. My email is [email protected].

Still want to trade the '02 bike for a blaster? If so where are you located? email [email protected]

I'm sure he will appreciate the power. :biggrin: I know I would have when I was 15.

Yeah my cable was like that. I didn't really think about that when I posted. Yeah I'm up the Pottsville way quite a bit. Small world.

Yeah I figured you rode down by Wal-mart. I've never ridden there suprisingly. I usually ride up on Sharp mt. in Pottsville or up at Bear Gap, near Shenandoah.

I'm guessing you don't want a set of purple plastics? They are pretty nice I just used that plastic re-new on them.

I had the exact same thing happen to me shortly after working on my clutch. I was having a problem with my banshee accelerating and determined it was a bad clutch. I replaced it and took it for a test ride and it just gave loose and I didn't even feel it happen, it just was like it was in neutral in every gear. The locknut came loose due to the fact (I think) that the huge nut (32mm or something) which I don't know the name of being loose. The guy that put my banshee back together before me forgot to use the lockwasher. That was supposed to be torqued to 90 N*M and I could spin it with my fingers. So I am guessing that your locknut came loose and let the friction/clutch plates open up(I don't mean the 32mm one I mean the small locknut on the outside). I could be wrong, just trying to give input. EDIT: Holy crap I just realized that you live in Frackville. You mean like close to St. Clair? I live around Schuylkill Haven.

I thought I read on here somewhere that if one piston was in backwards then it would only run on one cylinder and if both were in backwards it would not run at all. Sorry I was just going off of what I read. Is it possible my piston(s) is/are in backwards? And yeah i will be riding around sea level with those temps and with no lid/snorkel. I don't ride much in the winter.

I don't think that a piston is in backwards because I read that if it was the engine would run off of only one cylinder. Does anybody have a jetting recomendation once I check and possibly fix the clutch? I was thinking about 280 mains with the LRD exhaust. Anybody????

The only mods that it has are: .040 overbore (wiseco pistons) boyesen reeds boost bottle (stock air filter/intake) I bought an adjustable LRD exhaust system but I don't have it to put on yet. So my problem is with my current mods with no aftermarket exhaust. I will check the clutch next time I am home from school. I think I have to be running rich because I can't ride more than an hour without having to change plugs and they have so much build up i just can't help but think I am running rich. The only things I know that cause that ( I am a newbie ) are the jetting or a clogged air filter. If I am indeed running rich will putting the exhaust on possibly correct my running rich problem? Also, could the clutch slipping cause my engine to foul plugs? ( like i said i will check the clutch as soon as i can)

Thats the thing. I don't know if the stock jets are in there because the guy that had my quad before me never took care of anything on it and I have little faith that he knew what he was doing with the rebuild. The reason I bought the quad was because the price was right. Should I just buy stock jets and put them in or is there a way to tell if they are stock? Also after I put on the LRD exhaust should I change the jetting? I read on the Jetting FAQ that it should be around 280 mains for an aftermarket exhaust with stock air filter. OH and if the stock jets are in there now why am I fouling plugs? Something electrical? I am running B8ES plugs. They are WET and BLACK after about 5 mins of riding. I am also running about 40:1 mixture with Klotz Benol.

I have read a little about jetting on this forum but I still have a lot to learn. Since I know nothing about what jets are in it now what would be good jets to run with my engine (40 over), an LRD exhaust, and a stock air filter? Thanks.

Hello. I am a newbie to posting but I search around and read on this site quite often. I have done a search on my problem and I could not find anything matching it exactly. I have a 96 banshee that I bought used. The engine work that I was told that was done was the top end being rebuilt ( 40 over ). The only mods that I know of are a boost bottle and some sort of power reeds. So here is my problem. I always thought something was not right with my banshee and yesterday proved it. I went riding with another banshee rider who has a completely stock 01 and when I rode his it was totally different than mine. My engine feels like it is not accelerating. The engine screams through every gear and the rpms never seem to change. If I accelerate with about half throttle the engine sounds like it is accelerating and the rpms sound like they are changing. It almost feels like my clutch is slipping or my tires are spinning when I go with full throttle. My tires are brand new RAZRs so I don't think that is the problem. Also, my plugs are always black with buildup. Never normal color. It fouls plugs if at a high rpm for more than a few seconds. (and my air filter is brand new) Can anyone please help me with this. I don't have the money to take it to a shop and have them figure it out. Could my clutch be slipping? Could this be the jetting?

I would like to buy your exhaust. I sent you an email.

I am interested. PM sent. Please let me know if these are still for sale and if you got my PM. Thanks.
