L.R.L was talking about FEMALE panties......

I love happy endings. Especially when there is a moral to the story and the plot leads to knowledge. Glad to hear you found the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, enjoy that ride.

LMAO "Banshees in your area are "Listed"……..YEAH LISTED….not SELLING! I've been watching your sale locally on Craigslist. You're high as a kite on your pricing. (Yeah I know what you got into it…..not my fault you own it) Here's the reality…. Last fall I drove to St. Louis and picked up an 09' YFZ450R for $2800. I drove back there with a buddy 2 weeks ago and he picked up another 09' YFZ450R for himself and it had a programmer, filter kit, Curtis Sparks exhaust and a new set of paddle tires. His cost….$2600. (The guy said not a penny under $3000…but he was wrong. LOL And the guy ended up throw in the helmet and a new set of riding boots!) So you think your machine is worth $3200 in this market? Now the reality is nobody can "MX" with oversized rear tires on 10" rims. That is a basic bolt on Banshee with a cheap built stroker crank set-up. YES you got a nice front end……but the rest of the bike is a typical overpriced listing that has been up for MONTHS! Bikes like that with stock front ends or WORKS shocks sell for about $1800. Your front end is worth more than the whole damn bike. You got some decent parts….try parting it to get your cash out of it. But as is…….$2200 is your ceiling. Sorry…I don't have the kid gloves on today. I'm dishing out reality in adult doses.

HQ to the rescue. Thanks guys.

I remember seeing somebody who made a replacement unit that was still a two piece bushing like the factory unit, but it had a grease zerk on it and an internal groove to feed the grease all the way around the stem........ Don't recall who made it......

WTF are you even talking about? Where the fuck did I Bash anybody? I'm talking about a motor design.

You scrubbed an orange bike till it turned yellow???? Just what cleaners did you use? LOL

Yep. Like I said....strong motor. No powervalves.

What is your total cost on that gun after all your kit and custom parts?

FFS I've been telling you all about that lousy Cheetah design for 6-8 years now. Now 10milmike is taking over where I left off. Cheetahs are universally junk. CAMATV is the ONLY guy here who is head over heals for them and has real success with his. HOWEVER!!!......ALL his bikes are fast, even his little 350 motors. So I think HIS success is based more on overall bike set-up. Plus he ALWAYS talks about knowing how to set them up right......but he's never posted how or posted Dyno runs of any of his motors. So how can you compare? CALVIN TOLD ME HIMSELF that the cheetah cylinder was obsolete. Told me a Super Serval would make more torque and HP. The one group of guys who really are fans of the P.V. motors are the coal hill climbers out east. I talk to a lot of them and they always talk about being able to get on and off the gas without it bogging. Funny thing is....they all rode those hills with stock cylinder bikes in the past. Their ride group is littered with lower powered 2-strokes as well as 4-strokes. So I'm not quite sure why you build a 80-90 HP motor...just so you can lift off the gas. I'm further baffled as to why you bog a motor going up the side of a hill? Downshifting isn't an option anymore? Powervalves were developed back when 2-stroke motorcycles were what was being raced. The motors kept making more and more power. When the motor would "hit the pipe" comming out of a turn....it would overpower the tires and spin the bike out. The powervalve was installed to SOFTEN the hit of the pipe by BLOCKING the exhaust port and LIMITING the power the motor made to make the motor easier to ride in corners. 10milmike has a STRONG running Cheetah now......but there are smaller cc cubs making more power. The overall design of the cheetah is lacking from an equally well set-up Cub or Super Cub. If anyone would like to post a dyno curve to contradict my statements......feel free. But I've been looking and waiting for 7+ years for that to happen........ You can keep Butt Dyno feedback to yourself because everybody thinks thier motor rips.....till it hits the dyno and they find out it's down 5HP from the last bike. Cheetah = Less HP per cc and blocked power to make it easy on you.

Only 4 year old Trinity motor that haven't blown itself to hell and gone. The trick is don't assemble and run them. Sorry but NOBODY is going to buy a 4mill cheetah with Trinity's fingerprints on it. Even NOOBS on this site know better. Try Ebay.

Amen!

When you build bomb motors that blow O-rings and see the O-ring as the problem.....piano wire becomes a solution, much like a copper ring in a car head gasket. They have chased some crazy concepts over the years. The fact that they built and sold Spark plug locks to keep detonation from backing out your plugs should be a clear indicator of the level of dysfunctional thinking that has gone on there. YES...PIANO WIRE. LOL Hey when your dome design has a convergence shape and send massive forces towards your head seal.....bumping compression to 225 isn't going to end well.......

LMAO Hey, is that James, DJ or Harry from Trinity? Classic Trinity power tricks. Monster compression, piano wire in place of the O-rings and spark plug locks.......

I've run flipped wheels for 10+ years. But you have to plug the old valve stem and install a new one since flipping the wheels will knock the original valve stem off with the brake caliper. I have +2+1 arms now…..but I still run flipped wheels on my kids Raptor 80's. Flipping the fronts is the FIRST budget mod you do to a Banshee.

Bump for upandgone

Ok…what happened to Gorey Gonads and his pimp racer plans? I wanna see pics of his swift ride.

That is the baddest ass 22 I've ever seen! LOVE that gun! I'm sure there are better overall pieces…but that bitch is SHARP! I want!!!!

But do you piss excellence?

Too rich for his budget.

The OP is a total NOOB (That's ok…we all gotta start somewhere) But he has posted simple questions about stopping his carbs from overflowing. Talks a big game like he has $10,000 to put into a machine…….24 years old. Better check with your mom before you waste all the cash on a Banshee you can't tune by yourself. Your P's might want you to buy a house and move the fuck out first!

15 year old drag tranny. LOL

If you can FEEL the difference….then your motor needs it ALL the time. Especially if you hot lap the bike.
