Hello, Thanks for all the replies, The spark plug (right one only) was an issue before a complete rebuild by Rudy Kurtz at Port Magic. I have not had a chance to break in the motor yet and do not know if it will happen still. I was just looking to get one to be safe, but looks like it may not be needed. I have +4 timing, CPI inframes, 20cc domes, Port magic dune port, V2 reeds, 35 mm Mukuni's, K&N 8" pods, lightend flywheel, trued and welded crank, shift star mod, cases are match ported as well, and runing 91 pump gas with Klotz R-50 at 40:1. any input is always helpful thanks. :thumbsup:

Hello, Where can i find a sparkplug locker? the thing that keeps them from backing out while riding? thanks

1 airbox with the noss machine K&N adapter and K&N filter $50 shipped. 1 stock axle $40 shipped 2 stock carbs (26mm mukuni's) TORS removed with 290 mains and throttle cable $90

OH, I am originally from Victorville (Las Vegas now) and ride a banshee and a buddy (JH) is always racing me on his 450 (stock). My bike is pretty fast, but he always wins, sand, dirt, or street. UP=Union Pacific

You dont happen to work at UP in barstow do you? Are the guy with the 450's initials JH? Small world...just curious

SOLD thanks :beer:

pics sent :beer:

I have a set of chrome FMF SST's with the SST silencers for sale $300 shipped to you. The pipes are in near perfect condition with no rust, dings, dents and the usual, very minor blueing. The silencers have scuffs and marks on the end caps only, from a wheelie gone too far. but this in no way effects the performance. I have pics but dont know how to post them. You can pm me a email address and i can send the pics to you. if you have questions please ask.

This was my motor from a 2002 banshee. I blew a piston 5 weeks ago in Glamis and that was the first time i have ever had a problem with her. I always said i would wait to get her ported and other goodies until something went wrong. when it blew i then had the work described above done to her. I did a break in to the letter as Rudy (port Magic) had told me to. I had ran nearly 4 gallons of fuel through her during the break in sessions. then another 10 gallons later is when the mystery marble sound from the lower half happened. It also happend as i was shooting up comp hill ..... hope this helps

Well Just got home from turkey day out at Dumont dunes. had a great time and all was well with the fresh engine :biggrin: ( all work done by Rudy Kurtz at Port Magic Racing) until saturday bout 3pm . First here is the work i had done to the bike. Bored .20 over, port and polish, case match port, 35mm Mukuni's(300 mains) crank trued and welded, shift star mod, 20 domes on a cool head, and all new bearings and seals. She ran good on thurs, fri and half of sat. but sat. afternoon she had no giddy-up and the sound of marbles in the lower half. :: I shut her down instantly and was towed back to camp. I have compression, at first the clutch felt like it had no resistance but that seems to have come back. it will fire up but dies if i dont give her some throttle. and a distinct rattle sound coming from the lower half. Any idea's?? I am going to talk to rudy monday morning just hoping to get some ideas here as well. if you need more info ask questions so i can help you help me thanks:thanks:

Hi, I just did a full rebuild on my banshee and went to fill the coolant. It will only take about 1.6 liters. I use Engine Ice and it took almost 1 bottle (1 inch left in bottom). The clymers says it should hold 2.5 liters! i have got her up to a operating temp of 175. and then let her cool. the coolant is still at teh same level. :: Please chime in as i am going to leasve for dumont tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance for your replies. :beer:

motor work only changes your top speed by a very slim margin. It impacts how quickly you get to your top speed. You want more top speed change your gearing. Oh yea, mine with a 13 tooth front was 67 mph nad 14 tooth front was 73 mph. both times done with a garmin 396 gps.

i will be there as well, blue shee with Skin graphics kit. See you at the hill. maybe we can all get together for a ride or something? this will be my bike first weekend out as well, hope shee does ok. See ya

Anybody else going to Dumont for thanksgiving? if so and you want to do a ride or have a beer :beer: post here or send a PM and we can all meet up.
