I cant wait to try my new/used ktm out, and get the gfs shee back togather,she just started to ride last year and has cought the banshee fever like the rest of us. so i got to get it finished. Theres 5 of us in our little tribe. Our bikes are 98 shee,2003 ktm 300exc,95 yz250,99 warrior,90 kx125 and i have 2 1970's honda trail 70's that i like to ride around the neighborhood, and watch all the kids say wow what is that.lol anyway thanks for stopping by brothers and sisters

thanks guys for the replys I like the cadillac ride but have'nt been there in years.yes i know were the pink store is on 33,did the gladwin trails,the medows trails are'nt that great but if you have new riders its a good place to go.use to ride midland some years ago.My buddy rides Leota-Denton Trail. he said its some good riding, i want to do the U. Me and the 2 boys ride bikes but my girlfreind rides the shee,(wish it was mine, i do the work on it and also get to ride it,hint hint ar just test driving it, got to make sure every thing is a working.judt got my daughter a 99 warrior.anyway thanks for stopping by see ya on the trails

I live in Redford,MI. I ride at a place called the medows in lazerne,MI.and we check out bullgap sometimes. we take the family but they are all new to riding so i have to watch were to take them. the medows is a good place for them to learn.And if you ever get up to Lazerne stop in at Ma Deetters. its a great old log cabin lodge bar and grill,great breakfast,before you go riding,and you can ride from the trail head right to there for some cold ones. thanks for stopping by

i don't know who did the portwork,just had jugs done and guy said that it had a nice port job,did'nt think to ask what kind,runnig fmf pipes and the low to mid really hit hard, i have what i think posted on not knowing what i have in mods post

how do u tell what kind of port job you have? The paper work I have said, its level VI port work or did they write it down wrong, mybe its level IV and whats that? i trail ride so hope its right for this kind of riding. thanks for stopping by

it has a stock milled head with a rechambered dome and can i go back with a stock head? no mill,we us it to trail ride

hey people I will tell u about our banshee.Its 98 that we bought last year. thing ran awesome.but last year it lost compression in one cylinder on our ride here in Michigan.did a compression test and it was low,don't remember what psi.anyway that weekend leading up to what happened is this.One of the boys riding the shee came back ,said it was runing bad,spark plug came out,right side,happened 4 times on different rides,seemed tight every time i put it back in.then another boy came back and the throttle stop screw i think that was it was missing on left side carb,looked all weekend for a replacemt,but could not find one,could not even find a screw with the right threads,so the dumb ass that i am i found a plastic plug to plug hole so no sand or dirt would get inside.anyway right side lost comp.not left,but right side spark plug keep coming out.blew up another bike that weekend too, glad we had three.So tore it down when got home and right side piston was tore up,not on top but on side.was told that the thing was bored 40 over the year before and it only had a couple of rides on it when we bought it i was told.anyway just had the jugs bored 60 over,guy said they had a nice port job done to them.From the paper work that was given to me it said that it had the following done to it. Level VI portwork inclding welding,port match upper cases,lighter flywheel,ether drill or trued and welded crankshaft,cut and rechambered head,v force reeds,modify carbs.gold series FMF fatty pipe,FMF turbine core 2 mufflers, has k&n pods,no air box.axle seems to wider than it should but don't know if its longer.Need to buy carb rebuild kit but don't know if they are stock.I mesured I.D. of front of carbs and got 1.100 and i think that is close to 28mm but could have did it wrong.Can stock mikuni carbs be 28mm. number on carb said they were stock.but some one had them worked on.I have a stock head that some one gave me.don't know if i have to have it match the jugs i just had done,want to run pumped gas.Banshee had race fuel in it when we bought it but guy said we could run pump gas.MY freind nextdoor races drag bikes and he said that after it messed up that mybe i should not have run pump gas cause of the way the piston looked, like i was getting detonation on side of piston on the side that lost compression.I got the new/used head because the plug kept coming out of the other one.Still dont know why it messed up.Well theres probably more but cant think right now,don't know about the timing. thanks for looking.

I am a tool&die maker,you have a lathehand who works on a lathe,a millhand who works on milling machines and there is me a grinderhand,who works on O.D, I.D and surface grinders, of course i'm layed off but hey,life is still good.
