oh sorry i must be thinking of someone else. Your banshee looks similar to a moderators on E2S.com with the yfz in the front all black but his has black pipes hahah sorry

ahh mannn i was hoping to click a link that leads to a real nice set of some +2+1 arms.... but oh well... and savage420 You never replied about getting your pipes black. You told me a while back that you had a thread on E2S.com or i think here but i never got it

Do you want to know what i did with my boost bottle? I pissed in one of the holes to see how fast my pee would come out of the other hole and it came out the other hole in about 15 seconds therefore i knew it did not improve throttle response so i gave it to my girlfriend for a present

First of welcome to hq, You will find alot of useful information on here and there are aton of smart guys who know alot about motors on here. In my opinion you should have not taken it to the dealer. First they say top end, next its crank seals, and it keep sleading to another. A new top end for 800bucks? You can replace a top end for way cheaper than that by getting the parts yourself. But i dont know what to say now that you have already spent the money. I guess now is just to wait?

jigsaw or a dremel with a cutting tool. pick one up at harbor frieght for cheap. then use some 600 grit to sand em down and get em smooth

BLACK and shaved!!! looks clean!!! also post some pics of ur shee...

Grill is now SOLD!

I have a yfz450 and i would lvoe to ride a ltr450. Great choice. it's an awesome bike. All you need is an fci, dasa exhaust cherry bomb and thats it! that thing will run a hard 5 seasons with simple maintnence

Well I was'nt planning on pulling the head to check my dome sizes. I was going to pull me head to see if there is any wear or damage because atleast 2 trips last glamis season it would overheat and smoke out the radiator after running the hill. So do you think there is any damage? Maybe I should put it all together impeller, coolant, oil, because everything is drained right now and start it and do a compression test.... then if my compression is bad then pull the head. one more question by pulling the head how much fluid will i loose?? will i have to replace all my oil and coolant? because if so I will save it since I will be putting in brand new oil, coolant.

Thanks for all the post everyone. To answer everyones question (don't know how to tripple quote so bare with me) BenB: I actually never ride mubd so caking on mud to my rad isn't a problem but I posted my radiator cover a while back in my picture and people said it blocked to much air so i bought a new really revealing one for better air flow. so that's checked out. As far as jetting, I think im pretty dead on Because im running 330's at sealevel or a little bewlow sealevel so you think i should bump them up a little? My spark plugs looked like a nice tanish color so I predicted the jetting would be fine. Mopar1rules: Yes the engine ice i heard would decrease temperature plus it was premixed so that was a plus. Mods done to my shee are... t5's and silencers, K&N air filter pods, 2 bore sizes over stock, +4 timing, coolhead not sure dome sizes, (soon to have billet impellar shaft) and jetting i run 330 mains. FUNNY thing is though when i drained the coolant it was black!!!. Did the coolant burn? Did oil get into the water system? rb0804: I am taking the head off in a couple weeks or when i have all parts together to do it at one time.... (im guessing the dome size says underneath???) and i currently don't have a temp gauge on it. I will probally get one before this season? Anyone know of some good temp gauges? Thanks again everyone for all the posts. really helped out

Hey everyone, my names steven and im 16. I get most of my knowledge from this site and I'm really happy it was invented. My mind just clicked about my shee... please take the time to read this. Im confused I'll explain my story as short as possible.. In 2002ish-2oo4ish my family got into glamis (we used to ride all our lives) but got started going to glamis in 02/04. Anyways i got my first shee in 04. Ya i was 12 and everyone said it was to much power and yada yada yada but i grew into it. well my shee seized, and I am not as mechanically inclined as I'd like to but we have this friend who works on banshee's. He says "ya I'll bore it out maybe it just needs a hone and redo the top end." At the time i was 12 and didn't know what that meant. So i found this site and that's where it all started. We'll he ended up fixing my shee had to go one size over stock bore, we put new wiseco pro-lites in them and I think that was it at the time. Well it seized up for the second time. And me and my dad are all wtf. So we take it back to the guy and he says "the crank knocked out of alignment during the first seize." there fore the piston would hit the head at tdc. We had to buy all new pistons,rings, gaskets, circlips, wristpins for the second time and we fixed the problem. But the guy did some more mods. He added a cool head not sure what size domes I never found out, along with a +4timing plate. My shee overheated every trip last season or almost so I went and spent all this cash on a new grill for better air flow, bigger main jets, billet water pump(haven't ran it yet), and engine ice(haven't ran it yet). I currently run a 40/1 fuel oil mixture along with a 50/50 93 pump gas with VP110. I haven't run any of this stuff yet cuz its to hot for glamis and first trips in october. BUT It just clicked in my head due to the +4 timing plate my bike runs hotter and whatever reason I may be running wrong dome sizes. My elevation is sealevel or little below (glamis) So help me out. ANY input on this topic would be great as I would have loved to keep my shee stock piped filtered and had it run 5season strong JUST like my yfz450. Thanks everyone, Steven

How much for the arms shipped to 92377??

Great link man thanks... Just curious, how do you guys check your compression? I bought this compression tester at harbor freight a while back and I haven't used it yet. I heard they were'nt very accurate but I had already bought it so oh well.

elevation at my house not sure but where i ride (glamis) sealevel. and 20cc dome

those are sweet. you should make a black one and sell it to me :happy:

Bansh-eman mind saying some of the mixed reviews you heard? His feedback is all pretty positive.

Oh also what psi should i be at?? my bike: 2 sizes over stock bore, cool head, +4 timing, t5's, silencers, k&n filter pods, 330 mains

THanks everyone for input. well I prolly won't get to work on it until ALL my parts come in so I can put in new pro design shaft, i have coolhead so the gasket should be fine. thanks everyone

I just want to remove my head to see if there is any wear/damage on walls and pistons. Do i have to prelube bolts when i reinstall. thanks

Here's a trick that might work. Get a flathead screwdriver and angle the screwdriver on the bolt, then get a hammer and hammer it and it should unscrew.

Man you guys have talent!! The only thing i did handmade was i cut a coke can in half and used ti for a gas cap after i lost mine....

WHAT THE HELL! I just ordered one yesturday because my shee runs hot and im sick of it. I've tried everything. So i bought the billet impeller, gaskets, engine ice, new grill for air flow through radiator, my jetting seems fine. Could this maybe have happend through installation??? Did you put everything back together and correctly. The reason I'm asking is because I took my shee apart about 3 months ago. hae all the parts in ziplok baggies but I hope i rememebr how it all goes together....

Oh thanks anyways. I was looking for aftermarket +2+1's

CFM??? Sorry i havent been on banshee hq to much so I'm not familiar with "cfm" Is he a seller? And have people had some problems with him? Is he a memeber of hq?? His ebay deal is pretty killer

Hey just wanted to know if anyone has purchased one of these swingarms off of ebay... They are cheap and come powdercoated of ur choice and size. Thanks guys http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-4-6-8-10-...t=1218525146643
