Nice, mine are KR Tuned, thing walled stainless headers back to dual carbonfiber cans that look very similar to yours....i'd post a pic if i could figure out how to shrink them down LOL

I don't know anything about the 2 into 1 carb set ups. I'm personally not a fan of them, but iv'e never owned one. But from what I read they are harder to tune and get it to run like a 'shee should. I myself would invest in a used set of carbs or new ones if ya have the money and go back the dual carbs. Are the plugs new/clean? Make sure one's not fouled before you get to far along.

http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=120036 There's a link on a DIY timing plate mod. Be sure to click on the pics in AKheathen's link. It will show you how he modded his timing plate to get more than 4deg advance for FREE!

http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=120036 There's how one of the guys on the forum did his own from a stock timing plate. Make sure to click on the link to his photobucket and it's got pics of it. I *think* (correct me if I'm wrong guys) that Advancing the timing will beef up your bottom end and retarding it will help out the top end. Of course one comes at the sacrifice of the other. Also I'm not sure which (retarding?) but changing the timing will make it less prone to detonation if you're having problems with that.

No prob! I'd been looking for all that info for weeks and already had some of it so I thought this would be a great place to compile it for other users. I'm glad it's been of use!

Not to get off topic, but what cans are on your kawi ninja there tecate? I have a zx10 and pretty similar cans. Mine are KR Tuned, I just don't know alot of people who run them.

Glad you were good shape! Nothin like a happy ending

Where are you located and what color ya lookin for?

Make sure ya have fresh plugs in it. Also if you pulled the carbs apart at the same time, make sure you have the slides in right. It's easy to do and will make them run like crap. The guy that had mine before me did that (that's how I got it for a warrior on straight trade). But as far as the slides go, just make sure the cut away in the slide is facing the air filter.

I agree with that!! My shee with just pipes and jetting would beat up on my friends uncorked TRX450R. But as soon as you throw some turns and terrain in there it's all over.

I understand you pain but sometimes that's the nature of the old two bangers. Until you get everything just right it's alot of tinkering and breaking down. If you want an odd motor do something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/82-Kawasaki-KZ750-CSR-KZ-750-TWIN-KZ750-M1-MOTOR_W0QQitemZ370329269222QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item56395833e6#ht_1397wt_1165 It's got hp in the mid 70's, revs out to 9k rpm and would be killer reliable. It's prob a bit on the heavy side, but it would just be fun to build something odd like that.

I did not know that. I do know you can get crank pins with the rod rebuild kits. http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=CR178&store=Main&catId=&productId=p147893&leafCatId=&mmyId=3165 But i've never dealt with pullin a banshee crank apart, just my YZ and specing banshee cranks. No to thread jack so the reason to weld the cranks on banshees is just to keep those outter webs from spinning? I assumed it was from the fact of how hard it would be to ballance a bazillion piece crank LOL.

If you want a stock crank that's a time bomb just to get it running I have one that's on the loose end of spec I'll send ya if you pay me shipping. PM me if you want it.

You could just throw them out side in your garbage can....what's your address again?

Drill through like 01banch said and weld the nut on the other side if you don't want to have to worry about it. What I did on mine was bore the hole out big enough to put a nut in the frame and then weld it up. Doin it like 01banch said will keep you from having to use a welder though if you don't weld or don't have access to a welder.
