  1. Right now new18" douglas mx. Ordering kenda klaws just trying to iron out size. Either 20 or 22" depending on what will fit the arm needed for traction.

    One thing I've noticed with the Klaws is that they are true to the size printed on the tire. Mine measure exactly 22" high, unlike other brands that measure shorter than what they claim to be. I'd try the 22s, first before changing arms. My serval hooks good on gravel with them and a stock arm.

  2. They're mainly for trail. Did you shave the knobs for traction?

    No, didn't shave anything. I do think they hook up better when in soft terrain direction, even on hard terrain. They are a harder compound tire so will wear better. Maxxis Razor 2's are great also, especially for muddy trails. They are kinda heavy though and pricey, but wear well.

  3. The spring in this picture is closer to the size of the shift drum. Clearly not a spring for fitting in shift fork shafts.

    There are no springs that shape or size inon or around a Banshee motor.

    You got oddball parts laying on your bench.

     

    (Some of those weedwacker/string trimmers have dual springs in the head)

    Maybe it's time to reach out to lawn maintenance website to check that string trimmer assembly. LOL

  4. You can expand the capacity of the stock tank by using boiling water and air pressure. If memory serves I gained about a quart when I was racing XC by doing this. You need to drain your tank of fuel. Find a all metal shrader valve that will fit in your tank vent hose. I cut one off of a big truck inner tube. Fill the tank with boiling water, replace the cap tightly and add air pressure using a hand pump. It only needs 1 or 2 pounds. Don't use a compressor. Let cool and repeat . Keep the tank bolted to the frame as you do this. Obviously, you need to wash it out with gas to remove the water when done. Sounds crazy but it works on any plastic tank.
