Building my First

Make sure you have the cylinders looked at, it might be time to get them bored, maybe .010 over.

Put those fuckers on ebay, just got $225 out of some old Mikuni TM 34mm's.

Just found these passing by a garage sale! He knew what they were worth, couldn't remember what jets they had. They were on his son's Banshee a few years ago. I took the bowls off just to make sure everything was there, I couldn't tell what size mains were in them either. I didn't bother cleaning them, I have to clean carbs myself even if I was told they were just done. Paypal is [email protected] Will ship anywhere for actual cost. $175 Shipped, in the USA

The porting is designed to be used with CPI's and 35's. I know a guy that had the same port and had to sell his CPI's and carbs cause he needed some cash, he put some Pro Circuits with stock carbs back on the cylinders. It ran awesome, like it had an MX or trail port.

I shipped him my stockers today, he's supposed to send the pwk's tomorrow. He measured them and said they were 1 5/16", that looks like 33mm. I sent him some good carbs minus tors that were already jetted for Pro Circuits, stock intakes with cross over tube, air box front with billet K&N plate and good K&N filter. I even threw in a nice stock head because I knew he was losing a little money. He said he had good low end but I'm afraid they'll be a little big for my mods, so I might be trading them for some 30's one day.

Anyone have any experience with Velocity Accelerators from FAST? Says they're no gimmick! I wonder if they would help until I changed pipes. http://farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=157

I just traded some stock carbs for some 33mm PWK's. One of the carbs kept leaking and for some reason he didn't want to rebuild them. He has Pro Circuit pipes too and said they felt strong down low. I thought 30mm's would be the max for the Pro Circuits, but I know it's a good trade. My mods are in my sig, my porting is for CPI's with 35mm's but is supposed to perform good the my pipes and carbs, was just planning ahead when I paid for the porting.

We have a trade worked out. Will let everbody know how it turns out, supposed to have them this week.

Didn't swap ol' ladies with him. He was looking for a rear caliper, I shipped him one that was in pretty decent shape, it was not perfect. I wanted one of those bad ass flame rotors he makes. They are more impressive in person. He did a great job on it, just as if I paid cash for it. Awsome guy to deal with, the rotor is not the only product of his on my Banshee. I will post some pics as the build progresses.

I've heard about fuel starvation problems, they can be modified to cure the problem. Supposed to be identical to PWK's.

I have a complete rear setup minus the pedal, has Cascade block off. $85 shipped.

It's gonna be hard finding some one to trade. These guys would kick your ass if they caught you on the dunes with a full Raptor set. I have thought about running a rear Raptor fender with a Fullbore front. If you decide to sell them let me know what color and how much for the rear one.

If your looking for low end power, keep your stock carbs, put Pro Circuit Pipes on it(best low-mid pipe out there), bump the timing to +3 or +4, get a cool head with 20 cc domes. You'll be pushing the limit on 93 octane with the 20cc but with 19cc you'll have to go at least 100 octane. Do that and you'll take everybody off the line, unless you're at the track.

Do the airstrikers give any more performance than standard PWK's? I thought they had 4 vents instead of 2, so they are better for big jumps and whoops.

That box of parts came with some nice plastic.

Im not sure about the other Keihin you mentioned. I know there is several people on here that have Mikuni TM's on their machine.

Just get some carbon reeds for your stock cage. With T5's I'd put some High Tension Carbon Tech Reeds in it.

A crank will fit in a large flat rate bow, with plenty of room for foam or what ever you want to pack it with.

I go cheap on the trans too, but I don't skimp on good premix. Pay the extra for some Klotz or other good oil, Pennzoil is dogshit.

Gave me an awsome deal on a YFZ450 front end. He even held them for me, I had the cash but came across an investment I couldn't pass up. Cody's an asset to the HQ!

He bought a rear brake caliper from me. No hassle fast payment and he left good feedback as soon as he got the item. Great guy.

If you can't find a black one, I have a good white one if you don't mind painting it. Has some scrapes and a few light gouges but has no cracks or stressing and has not been cut. $70 shipped. http://s636.photobucket.com/albums/uu89/aj...nt=101_1230.jpg
