I like it... would like to see a snow version and a desert (sand not cake ;^)) version too... i think yours looks great... so imagine all 3 types together ... that woyld be sick!

Cool... thanks guys... was having trouble... not seeing posts in threads... so i just saw the responses now...

Is that...'kinda good'... or 'kinda bad'...?

Are they circa 1995?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section... it can be moved if need be... So my pipes say 'FMF GOLD SERIES' .... is that it?? Could they be Fattys or some thing else? I just would like to know... are there different types of fmf gold pipes? Last bit of info.... the entire, full exhaust system was install on a brand new machine in 1995. Thanks alot... - T

oops my bad... exactly... jap plugs - 7 is hotter than 8 U.S., euro plugs - 8 is hotter than 7 sorry...and now i cant fix my post bc i already edited it once... - T

BONE STOCK settings according to Yamaha are as follows: Plugs: Nippondenso: W24ES NGK: B8ES (ive seen BR8ES, not sure what the diff is...) B9ES likes to run a little hotter, if you can run them without fouling... go right ahead. gap: .028 - .031 Main jet: #200 Jet needle clip position: 3 (middle) Pilot air screw: 2 turns out All this is a stock bike, below 5000 feet of altitude and above 32 degrees F outside... colder out: higher main jet #, 220 (240 and 4th position on needle clip if below 14F degrees) and 1/2 less turn out on pilot air screw. Higher altitude: 190 main jet, 3rd groove on clip and 2.5 turns out on pilot. - Tit edited to make easier to read... tit

hehehehe... im totally cool with someone dissagreeing with me... but im not even sure if you did... ;^)) - Tit

Hey bud... Dont know how long you're storing for... but... no oil, leaves room for moisture, rust... some might say its bad to do such a thing. I tend to agree... food for thought... and the breather hose (to the handlebars) prolly only needs to be just higher than the trans case itself... (helps if you are searching for a long tube...) Hope i was helpful... - Titty

Thanks man... I sent u 1 pic... Its a piture i took w my phone of a printed photo i took just before i changed all 4 tires and the machine went into storage... So its a pic of a 13 year old picrure... Accept for the tires, its looks exactly the same right now... Thanks again... - Tit edited to fix typo

Looking at some of your guys pics... You REALLY have some SWEET Banshees here... very impressive Maybe someone can help me post a pic of mine... Look at this... I'm here 1 hour and I already need help.... JESH!! ;^))

Thanks for the welcomes... These days, the only internet access I have is from my phone. Along with the inability to click and use emoticons, I haven't figured out how to paste links, or upload photos from the phone. If there's an email address I can send a couple pics to, so some one could post 'em for me... I can do that... It's pretty standard issue as Banshees go though... 1995 purple and yellow, full FMF Gold and K&N's with no airbox... I can send pics though if ya like :^)) If I could do links, I would have brought my avatar over from the Blackbird forum too... - Tit

I'd like to intruduce myself, the name's Ray. My user name 'Titbird' refers to my titanium colored Blackbird... and I'm a member over on CBR1100XX.org ,a great forum for Blackbird owners. Been over there since 2002 (2003 on our current board... previously on EZboard) So I'm not new to forums... I'm 39 and bought my Banshee used (3 months) in 1995. I put about 15 hours on it and it's been in storage for the last 12 years or so... I recently got it out of storage and performed the following: Drained the fuel Changed the trans oil flushed and changed the coolant Lubed and adjusted the clutch cable Adjusted the brakes Aired up the tires Cleaned and oiled the K&N air filters Lubed and adjusted the chain 2 new B8ES plugs New fuel/oil mix A bath and a ride in the woods for a couple hours. The thing is great... it's still like new though its 14 years old... So any way... your forum looks GREAT and I'm gonna be around pretty regularly... if that o.k. with you all... Take care for now...
