    wish I was riding!

    So, John at RJATV refunded my money for the wrong pistons... I ended up getting the proper pistons directly from Trinity. BUT!!!! Long story short... I get her all put back together, and my brother takes it out that night and forgets to mix the gas... I get home from work and my engine is seized ($%&^* I was mad). Anyway, after 2-3 hours of getting the melted pistons out... I find the cylinder had cracked.. so I shipped it off to Lynn at LCPerformance (real good guy). I should be getting that back in a week or so. Cracked the bottom case and found the Vito's crank was shot, so I just put is a less expensive wiseco crank (was going to go strocker, but can't afford it right now). So, I've been without a Banshee for almost 3 months!!!! I have my Rap 660 in the garage, but that's not fun to ride compared to the cheetah cub. Nice in the trails though. Hope get the Shee back together before the end of summer :-( Oh yeah, Moto Tassinari warranted the V-force 3 reeds that melted... they sent me a brand new set of reeds and cages plus 2 sets of paddles. Nghe

    Yup, the blaster pistons sit lower... the guy sent me the wrong pistons. I hope he's going to exchange them. I'll let you guys know how it all turns out... THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!!

    These are the pistons I bought.... http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...em=170197102371 They say for 68mm Cheetah Cubs, and they sent Blaster pistons. Did I get screwed?
  5. Graphichead
    Can you tell me your reasoning behind this?
  6. Graphichead
    I replaced the reeds, and got the same result... shredded a second set of reeds #*&^&! This is why I so confused.

    Hi all, I can't figure it out. I popped a hole in my right piston, just recently, but the left suffered next to no damage... which I find strange cause at the time I had a 2 into 1. Anyways, there wasn't any sign of damage to the cylinders, so I just honed them and bought a Wiseco 68mm piston kit off ebay and installed them. When I started her up, the backfiring started on the right side. I checked the time plate and fly wheel... everything seems fine there. The plugs are getting plenty of spark. My vforce 3 reeds are shredded on the corners now! I did a compression test and I'm only getting 50-60psi on both sides... this is strange cause I had 130-140psi before I popped the piston. I noticed that my Dyna FS CDI switch fell off (maybe in the winter)... could a short in the CDI box cause the backfiring? I put the dual carbs back on, but still backfiring. I switched plug wires and the backfiring also switched (for a while)... now it seem that it's just the right side backfiring now. Why would I be getting such low compression (the kit was actually 2 blaster pistons). Could the low compression cause the backfiring? HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!! Graphichead

    Ah, thought so, thanks!

    Hi, I'm thinking of getting a 2 into 1 intake, but I just wanted to know if I can just bolt on 1 of my 35mm billet boots or do I need to by a boot specific for 2 into 1 systems? Graphichead

    Ah, thanks guys.

    I took off the top end and found that there was no oil in the crank case... I'm no expert, but I think that's bad. How much oil should be in there just debris from a blown piston? Is there a specific brand I should use for a Vito's Keyed Crank and a 68mm Cub? The bearings seem fine... there is a little lateral play on the rod between the washers... is that normal? Do I need to split the case to clean the crank and crank case? Or will a bunch of cleaner and a shopvac do? I really don't want to open the case up if I don't have to. Nghe

    OK, I guess I gotta back up a bit... I just did a magnet test on the cylinder wall to see if it's nikasil... and the magnet stuck... Doesn't this mean the my cub isn't nikasil? I thought all cubs were plated. Is the magnet test even true? Man I feel dumb and I have no bike to ride and the weather is beautiful! Guess this is called learning :-) Nghe

    The right side is pretty scraped up from a blown piston. You're saying I just have to re-nicasiled no boring needed? Nghe
  14. Graphichead
    OK, I finally got some time to take a look at the top end and it looks like I don't need a crank after all... BUT! I will need new pistons and to bore out the jugs. Does anyone know if I can bore 396cc Cheetah Cub cylinders? What should I bore too? What is the minimum and maximum? I think they are Nicasil does that mean they need to be renicasilled after boring? What kind of pistons should I get? If I bore out should I get smaller cc domes? OK too many questions. Nghe

    Thanks for the great info so far guys. Bansh-eman: I assume you have the 18-55 kit lens. 18 is great for this shot... to get a blurry background the concept is to cut the ratio (in distance) between the camera - the subject (Banshee) and the subject - background. 18mm (smaller the number the better) will let you get close but still have the entire subject in the frame. Kneel down to increase the ratio. Don't shoot indoors unless you have a good external flash. If you put you XTI on "M" manual you can change the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. These will all can greatly effect the photo as well. You should play around with it, the XTI is a great camera... I'd love to live near some dunes... Nghe
