BOOZER2009

After a complete frame powdercoat teardown, New top end, yfz conversion and suzuki LTR shocks. This sucka is finally done. Took her out to Glamis to putt around camp to seat the rings. Didn't get hard on it yet. Just glad it's done. Now back to finding something else to fix, build, spend money on!!! I must have gotten out of 15 head scratchers from everyones help here on HQ. Thanks all!!

Last time I rode there after rains was way busy and had tracks left everywhere. I was on my 2 wheeler and it would catch me in a groove sometimes. Ddin't care for it much. I actually just bought this broke down banshee and rebuilt it from frame up. so this will be my first ride on it. Sounds like not too busy out there latley. and with less tracks. Thanks for the tip

anyone been to glamis after these rains we had? wondering if the sand is crap to ride in?

Stock carb. I did install a new body for the float needle. I actually pulled the out and check the o ring as well. Choke tube always gets put back on for the 30th time I've taken these things off and on. I kow its the float adjustment. I have bent the tab up gradually and bent the tab down gradually and still the same. Put frsh plugs in today and still no start. I just amd not getting how to set the float correcty even though it sounds so simple. I am almost thinking its somehting else at this point. Could the mnay times I flooded the carb have fille dthe cylinders with gas? the old plugs had a pretty heavy gas smell. you can smell the gas just standing nex tot the bike yet its not leaking anyhwere. The carbs are exactly what they were went it fired right up except new needle floats and bodies. Oh and I also put in new fuel air screws with springs. they are turned 1.5 out. Well being pretty mechanical and not getting this for three days is pissing me off. Anyway thanks for the help bro and listenin to me whine

OK I been messin with my carbs all damn day and cannot get this thing right. Just a little history. The thing fires right up but was leaking from the float bowls. So I replaced the needle valve assemblies. Now it seems like as soon as I turn the fuel cock on, the carbs fill up with way too much gas. I bent the tabs on the floats down to try and seat the old worn needles. Obvioulsy didn't work. Now that I have new nedle valve assemblies. Is this float tab adjustmnent causing all the gas flooding? Can't figure out why so much gas flooding it. Bike will not start.

Just changed from 25/260 to 30/290. the clip was in 4th notch previous to new jets. Should I leave it in 4th notch or take it to the third notch. If I understand correctly. My larger hets with it at the 4th notch would make it run way richer. Thanks FYI:FMF fatty w/ turnibe2 exhaust with K&n pods

Anyone know where to get the 35 watt bulbs to replce the 55 watters in the wally mart lights? They don't have them at pep boys. ?????

Thanks for the help bro. Yeah I git the measuring and lining up thing down. I was just wondering if I need to toe in or out or even. I will do 1/4" toe in. Appreciate it

Tried searching for a post regarding basic alignment info but can't seem to find my answer. I just put a yfz conversion on my shee. I have the wheels set straight currently. Not sure what the terms toe in/toe out mean. My guess is that the front of the wheels set inward or outward from each other. That is my question, Do I set the front wheels a bit inward facing each other or outward facing away from each other?

cool thanks

Thnaks guys. I think I'm ready to cut some fenders. Your answers were what I wanted to hear.

My needle valve assembly is shot. does anyone know where to get a set the fastest for mikuni carbs. They are stock carbs does the millimeter matter? I think stock is 28mm?

I took carb apart and cleaned the area a bit more and then bent the tab a cunt hair where the plumb bob looking thing hangs. I see now that it just wasn't lowering/dropping all the way down enough into the taper to create a seal. The dealer wanted like $60 for their assembly. Just fixed it for free. Headin to glamis in 4 days now to test this thing out. was an easy fix once you understand what its supposed to do.

I installed my +2 tierods with my new yfz conversion. When aligning the front it seems I had to unthread the ball joint ends more then I would think. There is about 3/4" of threads screwed into the rod or maybe a hair more. and it feels a little wobbly until you tighten the locknut. Is this normal or sound OK. I don't remember if the rod ends screwed in tight with the stock tie rods.

sandfrk, since you live a rocks throw away, have you rode your shee in lucerne/johnson valley and/or stoddard area with no fenders and never got hit? maybe the rocks and shit get projected another way as the wheel turns. or do you just ride sand w the shee?

I want to cut the ears off my front fender but I don't want to have rocks beat the shit our of me when I ride hard pack. I ride sand most of the time. Will rocks and/or even sand nail me? I have a brand spankin new twist throttle kit. But I have heard pros and cons when landing from jumps or hittin woops, that you can accidentally hit it or have less control of thropttle versus the thumb version. I mainly ride dirt bikes so I am used to a twist. I bought this shee and just rebuilt it. so I have not ridden it yet to know. Any thoughts???

Nice! thanks for the tool tip.

Does anyone have a hot tip on what tools I can use to break the bead on my front paddle tire/rim. I bought some used that look as if the guy rode them while flat and has a shitload of sand in there. So I need to break away so I can clean one spot where air is leaking.
