That is a hard one.....Both take skill, but different skills. The stuff you do Loco isn't like the hill climbing from where I'm from. There are no jumps and such, it's just on steep ass hill. They guy that get's to the top, or in the case of more than one rider making the top, the fastest rider wins. In some cases, it's the rider that makes it highest on the hill that wins. You get a few runs, with the best of them being your time or distance. Drag racing is a mix of rider and tune/set up. Even if you have the meanest engine in the field, if you can't cut a light and make your shifts, your going to lose. If you can't get that power to the ground over a wide range of track conditions during a single day, your not going to make it up the ladder, and you will lose. If your running a bracket, you have to pick a dial in, and run it on the money or get lucky or your back on the trailer. I'd have to say, for over all skill, drag is harder. You have to win more than one race to win, and you don't get more than once chance at it.

A picture would help us tell you what head it is.

I change mine every weekend of riding. The oil has all the trash from the transmission and clutch pack floating around in it, and you have lots of bearings in there. Your clutch will also wear faster in old oil. I ride in sand only as well.

If you want to gamble your clutch pack, look for a oil the does not have energy conserving on the API circle. This is your gamble, but the it should be a safer bet. By the way, diesel oil has a different API ratting that Gas engine oil.

I use that for break in oil on my 450, it's not bad stuff, lots of molly in it I think.

Any oil that is for motorcycles, or Rottela T white jug. Rottela is about 14 bucks a gallon, is that cheap enough? It can be found many places, including Wal-Mart and truck stops and a few gas stations. If you need more info on how to read the API code on the bottles of oil, google it or check out bobistheoilguy.com.

I guess ol' boy like his chicks HUGE!

Yeah that little bastard is going to grow up to be a fine member of society. They ought to go ahead and book his prison cell now to avoid the rush latter. I don't know about the rest of you, but if I had done that when I was a kid, my dad would have killed me dead, I wouldn't be worried about my video games for the weekend, I'd be worried about how long I would be sucking air. I say they let Grandma have him in a closed room for a half hour with a 3' length of 2' hose.

They can't "bring" the Banshee back, it's still in production, just not for sale in north America due to the fawking green bean fags that want to kill every thing that is fun. Attention green fags, please so that we fun loving people can go back to having fun.

MOST motor oils for automotive use have friction modifiers in them that will cause the clutch to slip. You need to be able to read the rating code to figure out what automotive oils that you can use. The one that I know does not have them is Rottela T.

No wonder I don't like that D-bag, his own mom and Dad don't even like him!

Thanks Bro, that has got to be the best dune pic I have ever taken. Besides, some of use don't have a smoke'n hot old lady to drape over our toys!

My friends 750 build needs a +8" swing arm to keep the front end on the ground, that alone makes it harder to dune. Then you add the extra weight of the engine and it harder yet.

Remember that bit about the guy who builds 5 link sand cars out of his head??? That's what it takes to make one duneable. The guy knows what it takes to make suspension work. That being said, it's still a lot of work to dune that monster, it takes much more work to ride that thing through the dunes than a banshee.

I guess it depends what type of dunes and how you ride them. The thing about big high speed dunes are they change every day, so the nice clean line you ran yesterday in now full of razors, steep drop off, blow holes, and all sorts of fun stuff. Just think if the trail you ride all the time "grew" new rocks trees and ruts over night. The land scape is the same but a 6" tree grew right in the middle of the trail you ran last night, and the slight down hill is now a 6' foot drop.

All the forums I look at are having problems with spamers as of late, except this one. I have never got a spam PM on this site.

No butt No putt

As with all 2 strokes, the pulg will tell the tale......What does the plug look like?? If it's nice and clean, I'd bet you have a bad head gasket, or it's super lean. But if it was super lean, you wouldn't have a lot of smoke. If it's black and nasty looking, it's rich. If it's a nice dark brown, your safe rich, the lighter the brown, the leaner your running. On the money will be the color of a roasted peanut. Why do people never check the plugs??

Your only going to get what someone is willing to pay. At this moment, that ain't much. There are Shee's in my area that have 4-5K in engine work from K&T alone not selling for $3500 right now. Your best bet is to list it for what you think it's worth, and lower the price every few weeks till is sells.

Yeah, it's a weight to power thing. The engine and all the other crap that has to go on to the bike kills that extra power. You'd have to get the Gixxer to make more power than it makes coming out of the bike to make it as fast as the lighter bike. So now you have to build the Gixxer engine to make more power, and that ain't cheap. So your running into the cost of what it would take to make a Banshee engine build a stupid amount of power. Then there is the add on costs of better suspension and such that would be about the same between the two builds. It's just not really worth it unless you want to run something different.

Is that new plastic? My black 05 looks like shit! I'm thinking of wet sanding it and clear coating mine.

If money, tools and time are of not real concern, Build a custom frame to fit Banshee A arms and swinger. You'll be time ahead, trust me. I was part of a gixxer 750 into a craptor 660 frame build. It took several weeks, and a guy who builds 5 link long travel sand cars out of his head to get it done. We would have been better off to jig the craptor frame and build from scratch. By the way, it won't take a 4 mill cub up Sand Mountain UT.

Thank you bro! Someone has to run the site, and it wouldn't be my dumb ass!

Your family looking to adopt? I wouldn't mind vacationing at your pad a few days a year!

It was engraved on a CNC mill. It's in there deep enough that it will show in the chrome nicely.
