^^^^ Poor man's O2 sensor.

if it's molten aluminum….not only is there a good chance the reeds got some hot spots from them……but if any of that pops free and flies into your rebuilt motor…..your going to end up with little chucks of aluminum rattling around in crank bearings or wedging into piston/rings. So YES…you wanna either clean them WELL (Gas or the milder Brake Cleaner) or just replace them. You're going to want to do a full teardown. If you got stuff like that on your reeds…..your going to want to get all of it out of your crank case, crank bearings, and pipes as well. Otherwise you can expect rebuild #2 to come very soon.

Nothing HIT the arm. It cracked from FORCE! (I ride hard core don't you know) Didn't taco a brake rotor or sprocket at all. Not even a little flat spot. I HATE skid plates. They are just dustpan/funnels to feed shit into your chain. You get in some of that deep pea gravel at the Badlands…..watch that skid plate feed it all into your chain guide. Then when the chain links are full of gravel, the sprocket teeth have nowhere to go. Nate just about ruined a set of cases that way. I'd rather do one of JD's sprocket/rotor guards. But i have nice Lonestar Billet drive/brake hubs…….

Looks like she edited out all the hair.

Agua and some of your Oil of Olay body wash should work fine. Take it easy with the luffa though.

I didn't see it till it was time to wash the machine….but I broke the shit outta my swing arm! 3 big cracks. One on each main tube and the main carrier tube was Blasted! It was 1 1/2" of metal away from the entire axle just flying off. I don't know how I survived the weekend. Glad we didn't do that "Last Rip Around" before we left. I think my shocks are TOO GOOD. I don't know how I break a chromoly swing arm and not end up with broken ankles….or at least some kind of feedback to let me know something that severe happened. Time for a fully braced MX version.

Shearer sb inframe or cpi sb inframe?
WINDYCITYJOHN400 replied to DBR06Banshee10's topic in Jetting & Exhaust Forum
Well you were more focused on sound, pitch, volume than you were about peak RPM range, horsepower, torque. Whatever makes the most power is what soubds best. Diesel trucks never sounded good.....till people began to understand what build diesel power sounded like. Now they have acquired a lust for that sound. So.......find a pipe that WORKS GOOD. Eventually people will think it sounds good. Sound is still the LAST thing that matters in a pipe choice. -
Suck on them till you don't taste 2-stroke mix any more.

I ment it's not the stupid full dash gizmo. Vapor or whatever. His TTO just reads water temp not all the other crap.
-
Well I have a KOSO and my buddy Bill has a TTO. Neither is a trailtech and neither is shit.
-
Screw that! Look at the TTO or KOSO units. Digital display that mounts anywhere you want and run for a whole year off a watch battery.

I was sarcastically mocking "GOAT". Anyone who bases a pipe choice on sound is a fool. I was mocking him by telling him to fill his pipes with dimes. Guys like him think up doing thinks to make pipes sound different. -
Lay off the cheeseburgurs. You can loose WAY more than brakes weigh.

2014 banshee hq silver lake mi ride

I think it's safe to assume he means locally. Or at least somewhat close to home. -
UNBELIEVABLE. You are the OP of this whole post! I had a date set…but YOU were the one who wanted to make THIS the weekend for the HQ ride. Now you can't make it ???????? Plus you are grabbing CB6979 and taking him with you too ? Well…….enjoy all the easter egg hunting. Try not to eat too many jelly beans. Sometime after the crisp morning air has warmed to a perfect temp for riding….after the big group of riders have lined machines up for photos….after the hours of good conversation throughout the day….after all the deer have been chased off the property….after marking the entire place with our tire tracks and left our 2-smoke sent on every surface….after I've topped off my tank for the last time….after the ride gear has been peeled off….after the machines are loaded….after the mud has dried….Sometime then…..after it's over….as I contemplate wrapping my worn out hands around a steering wheel and aiming the rig back towards home….as I stretch my legs and settle into the seat and allow my body a few moments rest and begin to reflect on the afterglow of a day well used ….before I turn a key and ask my V-8 to finish out the duty of getting us all home…..I will wonder….WTF could have been more important than being here? There will be an answer that those who missed this ride will feel justifies not being in attendance... and THAT IS OK. Every man has his own path to walk…..but for those who came and rode……Only pity and face palms will be shared over those who did not. Have a Happy Easter Weekend yawl.

This is a Trenton Tigney post. Remember him?.......

........from ECA for selling stolen parts? I don't understand. Nothing was said by anyone that wasn't 100% true. As you pointed out....even on their site they clearly are open to dealing in used items. There is no way for them to be sure those trade-in's weren't stolen. The fact that stolen gear ended up in his shop is proof it actually happened. So who owes who an apology?
-
So…spending a few bucks on some fresh plugs is outta the question?
-
Yes. You can ask for piston advice…then go ahead and ignore the information and continue on with the plan you had made up in your mind before you ever even asked the question.

Well for starters you bought some piece of shit reeds and your here asking US if they stink. (YES they do) We run better stuff and tend to not buy hot garbage from Ebay (We sell our garbage there since we wouldn't offload it on a fellow site member here.) So…. our Americanos shit in fact does not stink. I'm not sure where "out here" is, since you're not talented enough to fill in your location in your signature, but you can't be a Redneck if you're not an American. So NO…you're not a redneck. You are just a common level dumb ass. I really don't think anyone was impressed with your "How much did I take it in the ass on this deal" Math equation work. Ultimately the fact that you were willing to pay $17 for junk, and it now might only cost you $8.50 is just the price tag of stupidity. Good luck getting your steaming pile of Banshee running. I have a feeling "bansheeonfire" might soon be more of a reality than just a screen name. Good luck with the learning curve you Old Noob.
