I will be down there next weekend just to check it out. For those of you that have been down there, paddles or dirt tires? I have heard both ways. Second, is it a good ride or not really worth it?

Serval 4 mill I hear would give you an edge and leave you some room for porting to get a little more power. Your getting to the point where you need to start looking at different top ends for the type of riding you do for more power. I run a play/dune ported 4 mill and other than throwing a different set of carbs and maybe pipes on, I am going to leave it the way it is. Does great on the trails and I really don't have many problems on the drag strip. Time to focus on suspension to handle the power a little better and then learn to ride it the best I can. Learning to control and ride the bike can actually give you the best gain of all with out dumping a ton of money into it. I had a trail/woods port on mine before the motor went and the play/dune port really opened it up, granted I only ride sand.

Whats your elevation? I am at 870 ft and would have to run 110 on 19cc domes. I am running 21cc domes on 91 right now.

Just ride it the way it is. Seems like you got plenty of power. Now enjoy it. When the motor goes, build a different one. I made the mistake of changing something after each ride and I ended up with a blown motor.

Thicker and darker = richer. Thiner and lighter = leaner. You want the smoke ring to be the thickness of a dime and dark enough to tell clearly.

Good plug chop will show a smoke ring about as thick as a dime. Warm the bike up, then shut it off and put a new plug in. Run it pinned through 6th and pull the clutch in, shut off, and coast to a stop. pull the plug out and replace with an old one to get back to the shop to do the chop.

I have always been told and the builder of my 4 mill told me to not keep it at the same rpm for longer than a few seconds or so. Make sure to vary the rpm while warming up at idle and while riding. It is okay to get on it on break in. I haven't had a problem yet,

I let it warm up for about 2 to 3 min blipping the throttle every few seconds. Then road it never keeping the throttle at one spot for longer than a second or two. Did this for about 1/2 to a full tank mixed at 32:1. Then re torqued all the bolts on the motor. Did a plug chop after to start fine tuning the jetting.

Good to meet you this weekend. Turned out to be nice after the wind subsided. Wish I could have seen your drag bike.

What are you on?

Just want to make sure I am jetted right or close. 870 elevation, stock carbs, pro circuits, 4 mill with play/dune port, 21cc domes, pods, with 27.5 pilot, 340 main, 4th clip from the bottom mixed at 32 to one.

Anyone going to be down there?

I am running 9's on a 4 mill with 21cc domes and stock carbs if that helps. Was recommended by fast when they built the motor.

I had an issue with my boss spitting coolant out the overflow. I would not suggest using the cap it came with.

This is a new one, I was using their piece of a cap and I run engine ice. Hopefully the stock cap will make a difference.

Is that typical of a built bike?

What radiator cap are some of you running on your built bikes? I had a .9 which is like 13.05 psi. I am going to run the stock one which is a 1.1 that is 15.95 psi. If I understand correctly, built motors will create more pressure in the cooling system because it revs higher. Checking everything again to night.

I will give that a try. I know the overflow is leaking. It soaked my shock cover

You think that's it or do you think I am burning it off too. I find it hard to believe I could be burning it in the cyl.

By the way, I am on a fresh rebuild. Plugs look normal, and oil looks fine.

Anyone have problems with boiling and loosing your coolant. I am using the cap that came with it and i will loose almost half my coolant on a two hour ride. The cap that came with it is a .9 and the stock is a 1.1. Any thoughts guys? I don't like the thought of my radiator being half empty during a ride. I bought the alum radiator on eBay from a US company that I believe to be known in the industry. Just cant think of the name. I know there has been a debate about them before.

Purchased from Banshee SE... Thanks guys!

I will do 40 shipped to 66062 as long as they have good splines and studs.

Red works best for me price shipped to 66062?

There is enough of a difference you can tell. They should be exactly like the ones on your 94 banshee.
