Yeah, I'm looking for another quad either the 450r or ltr 450.... Mix riding of trails and dunes

i have a pro design cool head and its leaking antifreeze from the studs. i ordered new o-rings. never tore into the motor, but im assuming its as simple as disconnecting water and unbolting head and just swapping out o-rings, correct? any precautions or something im missing?

i've heard using pledge works...

drop 50-60 lbs and you can hand them their asses

thanks a ton. exactly the info i was looking for.. i put new wheels and tires and they were a PITA to take off and dont want that to end up happening again, thats why i asked

lol, i guess it was a silly question. i just thought they were torqued down to a 100lbs like a car tire, guess its just the old fashioned way, lol

how many ft/lbs should i torque my wheels to, and what psi in tires?

i feel for ya. i had the same problem TWICE. went riding and left my rm 250 by my buddies. the next day he took it out and went jumping. when i went to pick it up he thrashed the damn bike, busted the wheel bearings, busted the plastic, bent the rear wheel. another time i went riding again and let a buddy ride my banshee. i was on the other side of the woods with my bike so i wasnt watching. later that night im checking my banshee out and it had 3 bent wheels, motherfucker! never again. i wont even let anyone look at it anymore, i keep it under a car cover, lol

nice set-ups soo far everyone, lets keep this going please..

well everyone thank you for the clarification, i guess it makes perfect sense now

you mean 10x9??

i need to replace both my itp .190 pro series wheels. i bought this quad used so im assuming these wheels are 10x8 because i dont see a 10x9 in this brand/series wheel on itp's webpage or any where else for that matter. but after doing some reading, this tire is recommended for a 10x9. the more i read, the more confused i become. any one with advice please chime in!

sweet stuff guys...

like it says, post pictures of your dune set-up, paddles and all!

looks great! where did you get the flat black helmet from? i've been looking for one for a while..

these are the things i think about when i sell my stuff will i miss it/regret it? what would it cost to replace it? you will NEVER get back what you put into it period! personally 7k is good change especially in todays tough times, take the money and run....

great info, where is the best place to get a oring kit, ebay?

carbs where recently cleaned and my banshee still gives me the fits when trying to start it. its been a few weeks since i started it, but i can see puddles of coolant all over the top of my cool head. i checked the coolant line that runs over the top of the head, its dry. could it bee the head gasket? although the coolant is spread all over the head, there is a bunch around the plugs...any ideas?????

sorry to hear that, hopefully someone will chime in,im sure others have wondered the same

subscribing, not to hijack but im having the same exact issue

im west of the city also, send me pics [email protected] thanks

lol, that touchy, huh? anyway finally got her to start. she just needed to be 'finessed' and talk to dirty. went riding this morning and she felt fresh again. she flat out rips.... thanks for the help guys

bike has been sitting about a year, hasn't ran right since i borrowed to a friend. dropped it of and the service guy couldnt start it. he said the carbs needed to be cleaned. they cleaned them and put fresh plugs. they called me to tell me it was ready for pick up. had a buddy get it cause i was at work, brought it to my work, same shit

no, he doesn't know how to ride, doesn't even know what a clutch is, lol. he works with me and is a inner city teen. he's never seen anything like a banshee before, lol doesn't make sense. on my kx 250 i don't even have to pull the choke out, ever. even if its been sitting for months. i have the choke all the way out, petcock is 'on', i dont even wanna prime it cause i dont wanna flood the carbs. what could be the problem?

been having a hard time with banshee lately. cleaned out the carbs, sync'd them, new plugs, new float chamber gaskets and new float needles. this was all done at my local yamaha dealer mind you. they call me up saying they did all this work starts on 1 st kick runs good no break up on the top end. have a friend pick it up, brought it to my work, guess what??? at sqaure one again!!! takes 20 kicks to turn over and wont even stay idle, wtf!!!!??!?!?!?!?? what should i be looking for until monday when i call and give em hell!
