Haha, I hope I don't flip it...

 

Thanks for the tips btw.

[How to tell the YEAR of your bike]

My 2005 vin number is 3GG-255357.

[I need some tips on racing...]

Ok, I just got my banshee a while ago and I wanted to practice some drag racing on dirt.

I've heard of starting in 2nd gear and dropping the clutch etc, but I have little experience on a banshee.

 

So does anyone have any useful tips I could practice with?

Whoops, I ment to post this in the drag forum >.<

[What are your favorite colors?]

Yellow & black... sexy if you ask me :]

[I have a questiong about tire diameters.]

Well to get the Kenda Klaw fronts that are 22x7-10 will cost 42$ each, the 21's cost like 62 each. :thumbsup:

 

Plus I think I'm going to get both front and rear 22 diameter. I felt like I didn't have enough clearance with my 21 front 20 rear setup.

[I have a questiong about tire diameters.]

Do you guys think it would be kinda weird to have a taller tire in front and a shorter one in back? or would a 22 diameter tire for the front and a 20 diameter tire in back not be much of a difference ?

[Time to buy new tires!]

I hope rockymountainatv gets some more Kenda knarly's, they only have 1 rear tire.

[Time to buy new tires!]

Hmmm.... Well I planned on riding this banshee to school and back, like a 7 minute ride, for like 3-4 months till I can get a new truck. Plus like every other day I'd hit the trails.

 

Any clue on how fast that pavement would wear down on the HD's knobs? or anyone know of a tire that would be strong on the pavement and the trails? I'm starting to like the sounds of some of the kenda's but I still have a feeling that the HD's are the way to go for toughness and hook up. :ermm:

 

I'll take a look at those stock yfz 450 tires also...

[Time to buy new tires!]

I just bought myself a 2005 banshee about a month ago, it's in great condition etc but the tires are worn out to the max, literally.

 

I need some help selecting a good set of tires though. Money is an issue for me so I wanted to make sure that the tires I buy will last along time and put up with abuse from gravel pits, dirt trails and even some pavement.

 

I was looking at getting ITP Holeshot HD's for the rear, and ITP Holeshot XC's for the front.

 

Any suggestions? :woot:
