use to use Honda HP2 32:1 then switched to Dumonde Tech L111 40:1

I really don't have any reason to shut the fuel off immediately, just accustom to doing so. What did you have before the rockets and what differences did you feel when you switched? Your avatar is brutal dude. lol.

I really like the rocket pipes, but a buddy of mine has a set and its a real bitch to shut the fuel off, Do any of you know if running a pingel will make fuel shut off easier, or what else can be done that will not require a set of welding gloves to turn the fuel off?

I currently have 20x10x10 8 paddle haulers i bought last spring for what was then a stock bike, unexpectedly needed a rebuild, so I sent the cylinder off the HJR. Last time I was at the dunes I was just blowing the tires off. I do mostly trails and hill climbs, but when i get out on the strip occasionally I get blown away out of the gate and have to run everyone down. What can I step up to that will still allow me to play around like I do, but hook up a lot better at the strip? Should I stay at a 20 " tire and just increase the # paddles or up size to a 21" or 22" tire? If I up size should I also increase the # of paddles as well. As of right now I'm thinking a 20x10x10 10 paddle to utilize my wheels, but I'm not against an entirely new setup. Banshee is a stock stroke, stock cylinder, dune ported, cool head w/20cc domes, chariot cages with boyseen reeds, pods, T5's, but will be purchasing rockets or cpi's in near future, and just changed back to stock gearing. I've spent all morning looking at other threads and am at a loss, I don't want to over paddle, but I'm under paddled right now. Thanks - Josh

Not to say that you'll have to re-jet, but you will need check.

it works, but its a timely process, you just cant heat the shit out of it, it will take multiple times of heating and cooling to bring it back right. I found it works best with a heat gun, and to heat it up from the underneath part and finish the heating process on the top side, this way if you f up and get it too hot you can't see it. I'm a big fan blue, but didn't have to worry about this crap when I had my white one.

with a non-ported bike, just pipes and all the normal bolts on's you will probably end up around a 48 pilot and 152-155 mains with the cold weather. Always start fat and work your way down.

Here's a good explanation: In order to choose the best tire for your application, we have summarized two common tire construction types that are commonly sold for off-road tires. For the most part, the tire industry has dumped the bias tire for on-highway use, but bias type tires are still offered in the ATV and 4x4 off-road industry. BIAS Constructed Tires: For enthusiasts looking for ultimate in off-road performance (we are talking serious off-roading and deep mud), bias tires are still the best choice. For these applications, ride and wear characteristics on pavement are not a concern. Bias tires offer better cleaning characteristics for those extreme off-road situations. An application which has a high risk of sidewall damage would also greatly benefit from bias tire construction. Their rubber compounds are typically softer which help grip rough and rocky terrain. Bias tires typically have the ply cords that extend diagonally from bead to bead at a range of 30 to 40 degree angles. Each successive ply is laid at an opposing angle, forming a criss-cross pattern. The end result is a design that allows the entire tire body to flex, as the tread and sidewalls share the same casing plies. The flex allows for better gripping, better clean out, and better conformity to terrain which allows for a smoother ride on rough surfaces. This tire flex in the bias constructed tire is also its major disadvantage, depending upon the application. Bias tires tend to wear out quicker and form flat spots compared to their counterparts. The flexing also means increased rolling resistance, and less control and traction at higher speeds. If you jump in a vehicle after a long cold night that has bias tires, you'll notice a "bounce" down the road accompanied by an obnoxious hum. Typically the off-road bias tires will get 20-30K miles on them compared to the off-road radial tires that can achieve 40-50K miles. Radial Tires: It is advantageous to place a radial tire in an application where good traction is required on vehicles driven at high speeds, such as daily drivers and those that see both on and off-highway applications. They offer much better road handling and characteristics, than the bias tires. If you want to drive your truck on a daily basis, or more than 40 miles on the highway in order to reach the trailhead, then it's pretty hard to beat the versatility of the radial tires. Radial constructed tires utilize ply cords that extend from bead to bead at approximately right angles to the centerline of the tire. They are parallel to each other, and are combined with stabilizer belts. The result is a much stiffer carcass, longer tread life, better steering control and lower rolling resistance.

Stock YFZ a-arms will give you the +2

I have a set of chrome Dynaport pipes with silencers. These are NOT the 2 into 1 pipe, 2 separate pipes and silencers. Only thing is silencers need packing. Can send pics if interested $110.00 shipped.

The banshee is a awesome machine, but its not a hop on hop off forget about atv. You have to take the time to keep it in tip top shape or you will have more down time than ride time. You have to make the decision on what you want and works best, personally I would have 1 of each.

Was riding wheelies in front of a buddies house when I brought it back all the way on the rear grab bar. The grab bar slid across the asphalt just as I went over a man hole cover. The bike flipped one direction as I flipped the other. Bad thing was the banshee landed on its tires and kept going, there I am knocked loopy bleeding from my head and elbow having to chase my bike down the road.

I would start at a290 main, needle in middle groove, stock pilot. If anything you may need to step the main down 1 size. You can probably go to Toomey's website and see their recommendations.

I really like the look of the black wheels as well. I'm looking at theses.

The rockets are a great pipe, the only thing I don't like is it's a bitch to turn the fuel off.

Tires have been traded.

Have you checked compression, didn't see it listed in your post? You have spark and you have fuel. When you swapped plug wires, did the problem stayed with that cylinder or move to other?

You bet, I've never had as much fun as riding in the sand. Spring Break is a good weekend to go, we go down that weekend every year. Front tires aren't necessary, you'll be find with your stock fronts, rear paddles however are.

T6's will work great. I loved mine. The only reason I traded to T5's was I ported my motor. You wont be disappointed.

When your tires wear out on your vehicle, do you replace your wheels as well? - Probably not. I'm looking for a set of replacement tires for the wheels I already have, that's why I asked the question. Definitely a nice set of tires and wheels - The buyer of these wont be dissappointed.

Willing to sell outright as well. $120.00 + shipping

Welcome to the HQ, clean looking bike there. I thought I had the only one left with front fenders, lol. SoCal gotta be great for riding, I'm looking at a foot of snow right now.
