Yeah same here, negative on the viruses :baseball_whistle:

Nice setup, too bad it's got the wrong motor mounts heh. I'll bid $101 if somebody picks it up for me :ninja:

Damn Bigwill that sucks to hear, but hang in there man you're gonna be allright. Take it easy, we'll be thinkin' of ya...

The extra wire is only for the high-output stators, the stock replacement stator will have the same wires ya got now. Yes you need to have a regulator for the extra circuit if you run the high-output stator, without it the lights will pop when you hit higher rpm. Stock flywheel works on all of the stators. Stock output will only light up a 30W or 35W bulb; you can put higher wattage bulbs in the stock lights but with the stock output stator they will be dim, with a high-output stator you'll need to wire in the extra circuit to the factory lights...

Sometimes shit just happens...is there any physical evidence on the stator as to why it failed? When mine did I found a broken solder joint for the windings, just a function of time/vibration/marginal solder...when the CDI on my '96 went out, it just up and died; and I avoid water like the plague so I'm not real sure what caused it. I replaced the CDI with a Dyna and it ran perfect for years, same with the stator (didn't happen at the same time), replaced it with a Ricky Stator and no probs since. The stock stuff is decent but not bulletproof, the factory guys might cut some corners that the aftermarket doesn't, or the inspection dude was on his break when the stator or CDI was rolling down the assembly line, who knows. The stock electrical system is pretty straightforward, I'd think if there was a short you'd have some symptoms and it would either run like shit, or worse, intermittantly run like shit...

LOL!! Nice one csrmel, does that thing drop like a ton of bricks when the front end comes down?

It varies here from state to state; in New Mexico you're required to have an ATV titled and registered if you ride on State or Federal land, they give you a motorcycle plate and the registration is good for 3 years. Technically if you never ride on public land you don't have to have it registered, and farm/ranch use doesn't require registration. I've been riding here for years and never been checked, and almost all the riding & racing I do is on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) or USFS (Forest Service) land. Both of those agencies maintain riding areas in NM, BLM OHV areas typically charge $3-5 a day to ride (designated OHV areas have at the least a parking area, porta-pottys and covered picnic benches), but there are many many more riding areas that are under BLM that there are no fees; the only catch is that BLM will sometimes lease the land to ranchers and they will fence it off (and get a little pissy about you being there if they see you, although being BLM land it's not really trespassing). USFS keeps up some trails in the mountains, and they split them up for hikers, bikes, quads, horses, etc., some are restricted to hikers only or way too narrow for quads. You can ride a quad on any USFS roads legally, which is lotsa fun...

I remember tryin' to get some done way back in the day, still have the designs. Some places won't allow writing on the orange flag (can't remember which dunes had that rule, LS maybe?) anyway I thought the blue BHQ flag right under the standard orange looked good...

Nice ones guys, the only 4-stroke I've got is an ugly lawnmower heh. Last one I was on was hanging off the front of ridingorhiding's TRX450R pullin' 3-man wheelies, wish we got a better pic...

Have a good one wherever you at Reas

Hell yeah Denny that looks like a blast, did they get nailed with rain the day before or is it always that wet?! The whole time I was watching it I was thinkin', damn where is there a place to pass...then he hit the creek haha! Way more water there but just as many rocks!!

Green is lookin' mean It's gonna be cool to finally see the big four out there dicing it up in the same class, that hasn't happened on ATV's since the 3-wheeler days...

That was awesome!!! I gotta get me one of those helmet cams

I'm interested, email [email protected]

I agree, if you're just in it for a good time race the Banshee, if you're dead serious jump on the thumper bandwagon heh. I race NMDRC and have no plans to give up my Banshee (New Mexico desert racing is alot more like GNCC than SCORE), this season is a damn good one because there's a dude on a YFZ450 that's right there with me and every race is a close one. Maybe I'd have first in overall points instead of him (not by much) if I was on a 4-stroke, maybe not, either way it's a blast...especially when there's a long flat straightaway

I've had great luck with my Lonestar axle, I wrecked once on a TT track (hardpack clay) hard enough to bend the right rear HUB and the wheel, but the axle is still straight. I'm in my third season desert racing and it's still holding up perfect... Some of the guys on my team are running G-Forces, so far so good. The only problem I've heard is one that rolled down a cliff and it was replaced for free (I assume).

C'mon guys I know some of ya got kids that ride heh, I paid like $80 for 'em and will take $20 shipped...

My son already outgrew 'em, a year old and in good shape, will consider any offers/trades...

Right on Screamin!!!

Hell yeah, sounds like a damn good road trip to me

Happy birthday man, have a good one!!!

Damn they've got some sick stuff, love the pinup girls heh

Hahaha that was cold!! Happy Birthday John, have a good one!!!!

Dammit!! The east coast is real far from New Mexico...I was hoping to hit one while it was relatively close Oh well I've got Colorado's hill racing series (Pike's Peak among them) to the north and Arizona's desert racing to the West

I hope I make it to that TX GNCC next year heh, I'll be the crazy one
