Sparkies are needed for sure, and just because its in your truck does not mean they will not check. I have seen them check quads in the bed for spark arrestors too. David Allen racing should have the sparkies though they are most likely not the cheapest place to get them, but its good to support that place as they do keep stuff in stock for when you need it. You may also have to worry about the noise, this is hit or miss on getting checked. I have not been checked all year and then got checked twice in 20 minutes another year.
I would also plan on making or buying another flag mount, I have broke every stock grab bar flag mount I have attempted to use out there. A thick-ish plate with a u-bolt is good enough, you can buy those at David Allen also. I make my own that clamp on with split shaft collars.

I have seen a few posts that those domes in particular (herr jug's) are not correct for what he does to the rest of the engine, any thoughts on that? Plan on pulling the head to see if there is any real damage to the pistons. If there is more then likely I am going to box the whole thing up and send it out to FAST or the like to get everything sorted out

I am having the same issue with a 4 mil dune/play port Herr Jugs motor. Plan on checking the squish this weekend. I fully believe the domes need to be bigger on mine to run pump gas like it was suppose to be for.
do you cc the domes with a plug in it or fill in the plug hole with some clay or the like?
Have read else were that if you have an adjustable timing plate to check that and make sure it has not moved, I read that as an issue that can cause the detonation which makes the plugs back out.

$250 OBO + shipping on the rear

Front Elka's SOLD

46131 or Im 30 min. south of Indy between 31 and I-65.
Have a few other people interested, I would have to look up shipping but it would probably make it not worth it to AUS.

Have my old set of shocks for sale.Rear is I believe a stage 3 setup for the elka dual linkage (not included) I purchased it used from someone on here. It was supposedly setup for 225lbs dune riding. In useable condition but a rebuild would not hurt. Pictures were taken as it came off the machine. This measures 14 3/4 (or about) from eye to eye.
Also have a set of stage one fronts (stock length) that were also purchased used, these are setup for a 225lbs mx, but with my +2+1 arms seemed like a good match to the back. These are also in useable shape and I do not see any signs of leakage but I will also say a rebuild would not hurt on these either.
$300 OBO + shipping on the rear$200 OBO + shipping on the frontsWill sell as a set for a better deal. -
Are you planning on offering the spark arrestor setup once you figure out the best way to do it?
-
I will move it and see, thanks for the info... What would you suspect if that does not resolve the issue?
-
I am open to moveing the shifter on mine. I have this picture but not sure if you guys can tell its relation to the foot peg without a side picture. I will try to get a better one
Its somewhat even with the top of the peg, which after reading your guy's comment seems like that is incorrect. It could also be why sometimes it seems I can get it with a tennis shoe on, like just messing around in the yard, vs when I actually ride with my mx boots. I thought it was just my imagination on that though. Also is shifter position even more critical with the EZ-shift spring and modded star, I have both these on mine.Also sorry for the somewhat Hi-Jack, though its at least about the same subject -
Good info, I have similar issue with mine only it has all new parts. Sounds like a cut trans is on my list now too.
-
Try running them backwards, I had the same set on my banshee and they did pretty well like that in the sand. Never tried them like that on gravel though. Also maybe try lowering the air pressure but I am not sure what your currently at. I deflated mine until the V-shape was flat/even with the ground

Devil Women Flags
dwflags.com
I have three or four of her's and they all look great and are made to last.
-
Some of the intakes also have the cross over built into them. If you still want to run the cross over.. Not sure if anyone makes a rubber version that has the cross over built in or not
-
Anyone know what size the threads are on the badlands flags? Are they 1/2x20 like Silver Lake?
-
Yeah I usually go to silver lake, as for a long time it was closer for me then Badlands but now its the other way around. I will not worry about the paddles then, I am planning on being able to be up there for this.
Is there a place everyone meets up? I'm sure it maybe obvious were the banshee people are too...
-
Not been to a BHQ ride but I maybe able to make this one happen. Do you all just run the trails or play on the strip? I have read some posts suggesting bringing paddles for the strip there
-
Yes they will check the spark arrestor. I don't think it needs the US forest stamp on it. Mine have them and they stick their stick in it anyways. I do not remember the diameter of the stick, I think you will be ok with what you have.
I would be more worried about the noise if they checked that.
The earlier you get there seems the better chance of no-one being at the entrance. maybe not going to happen on a weekend though.
-
Sweet... I will be up there that same weekend. Maybe talk to you about doing some hydrographics on my fullbores.
-
DDQ that makes it sounds like this is a common issue when the engine work lets it spin up to higher rpm's? I am looking into the promod trans and he reading I am doing suggests that maybe the fix for what I am having issues with. Mine only does it at WFO, 3/4 throttle its fine.
-
Mine was recently gone threw by Herr Juggs racing so I am assuming its ok on the inside. I did ask him to go threw that part of the motor.
I will look into the eccentric and those parts again before splitting it open.
-
Mine also does this but the engine is much more stock and it seems to only not want to go to third under a load. The clutch basket is a hinson and is known not to be notched, its almost new. I am also running a pancake bearing.
Is it possible to hit the shifter too hard on these if you have the modded star? Or would the modded star be the issue in this instance?
Thought maybe original poster maybe running a modded shift star as well. Mine has a cascade one in it.
-
Im also running the elka shock and linkage on my banshee. I do not have much to add other then I feel it work great, seems to have smoothed out the ride and the hook up is better. Never knew what it was suppose to do until I read this thread good Info.
Silver Lake bound I need to know some things

Friday you should be good, you have to get parking lot vouchers the night before or go on a standby list the day (on saturday and sunday)f, hard to judge how busy it will be and if this will be an issue or not. IF you are dune ready with your truck and take the truck and banshee out in dunes no need for the voucher and you can get in whenever you want. Just be sure to air down your truck tires and get all your stickers at the voucher center.
Its a crap shoot on the loudness, I have seen people that are good with just sparkies and I have seen someone get turned away too. I do know they sell the hush kit up there just as a worst case. I know of one instance on a VW rail where the person at the check-in stand told the driver to go and add more disc to their super-trap end so it will pass the noise level, if you actually understand how these work you will realize how dumb this is, anyways that person did that and was not made to run a sound check the rest of the weekend. I think you will be fine with just sparkies.
