ive never heard of packing in silencers being able to cause a backfire. What elevations are you at? have you done a plug chop? im here at about 1100-1200 and i runnin a play/dune port, vf2 reeds, 2-1 air filter, FMF fatties, and +4 timing and i was told i was probably goign to be right around a 320 by my builder for the summer..... which makes me believe that you are WAY rich especially if all you have is just T-6's... Do a plug chop and it'll tell you right away.....its the only sure fire way to find out if your rich...

you should be able to get the bearings through any of the site sponsors on the bhq.......we like to support them as they have done THOUSANDS of hours of research and development to help bring up the best products and the greatest power from our bikes...

your not really going to find too many banshee's that are doing asphalt drags......don't get me wrong there are some that are out there doing it. But not a ton of them. This is where the age old problem of draggin comes in.......go with a extended swinger and you lose traction (based on geometry) or go with stock or shortened swinger for MORE traction and have a white knuckle front wheels slightly in the air and no steering while your dragging on your wheelie bar. basically it comes down to tihs.....do you wanna throttle-out of it to get the front down? or throttle-out of it to get the tires to hook?

trying to get a banshee to go over 120 isn't feesible......im not saying its not possible....just not feesible. The size sprocket you would need to get it up to that speed would be retarted.....along with the power needed to turn said sprocket. And if you did modify it that much then youd basically be limiting its uses as it wouldn't really be able to ms style ride or trail ride due to the power band. Why would you wan tot drop the front sprocket down?? i thought you wanted more top end speed out of it......so that would mean you need to RAISE the FRONT sprocket...

well congrats on your new banshee. And welcome to the club. The best thing to do with that $600? Pipes, filters, timing plate (or you can mod the current one and have a free mod) and possibly a TORS eliminator kit. Dont forget that whenever you do anything to make the motor breathe (intake or exhaust) better you're going to have to rejet the carbs or you will burn down the motor. And there are different pipes for different applications....if you're gonna run flat track mostly i'd suggest a higher reving pipe like a shearer or cpi's. If your going to be doing trail riding i'd suggest a mid pipe like a FMF fattie or Toomey T-5's. And jumping your banshee isn't NOT a good idea until you get more of a suspenison underneath it.......the stock suspensions suck ass.

wait a minute....your 15....with a banshee that has around 55-60 hp. What do you mean that "sucks?" These bikes come stock with around 35 hp and are still a front runner in the power even on newer quads today. That kind of power is alot more than i would trust most 15 yr olds with....no offense. Want some more proof? a banshee with 55-60hp is making enough power that weighing in at 386lbs (supposed dry weight) equals 1hp per 6.4 lbs....... Where as the 2011 Dodge Ram quad cab 4x4 tips the scales at around 5100lbs. With the V-8 Hemi motor making 380hp that equals 1hp for every 13.4 lbs. Congradulations......somehow you think that having a QUAD with a power ratio two times greater than a big ass strong truck isn't good enough. lol. But if you'd like a different example let me know...ill think of another one. In all seriousness though.....a 55 hp banshee isn't a joke....it's not going to take shit from alot of other quads. It'll be PLENTY fast...

it could possibly be that your o-ring head gasket has a leak and is leaking so much coolant into your cylinder that it cannot ignite the fuel/air mix...

MEK will also dry out your rubber hoses and can lead to your hoses cracking or prematurely failing...

bahahahha.....savage...that's AWSOME! But on a serious note we need to know more about your bike before you can get an answer out of us.....any mods? did it just start doing this or were you messing with it? did you just buy it? did you put new pipes on it? we need to know...

let me guess....it says Ricky Stator on it doesn't it?

hey badass and toytech.....where do you guys stay at when you ride up in mio? we should all figure out a weekend we're all up there and hit the trails..

sounds like you need to get a new choke plunger. My buddies did this.....just swapped out his choke plunger with another one and it worked great. As for your startin.......you may need to increase the size of your pilot jets......if they are stock sized the bike will not may want to start easily...

toytech is right....there should be a small metal retainer that goes all the way across the reed tops where the screws go.....basically it acts as a washer. it looks like they're pretty old....they may have just failed due to age....or as they got older they became more brittle and a back-fire could have occured and put pressure on the already weak reeds forcing them to break. id throw a set of cheap boysen reeds in there and forget about it.

with 21 domes you might be running close even with doing a 50/50 mix of racefuel and premium if your running an advance in the timing. youll be ok running pump premium with 22's though.

shit....i hope your not wiring your bike with that set of diagrams.....haha.....nice typo..

and if you haven't pulled it apart yet id do a leakdown test too....that little test right there can tell you a whole lot....

what specs did you use when you did your leakdown test? like as in how much air did you lose in a certain amount of time???

you can't really judge the whole rich/lean thing by the carbon that is left on the pistons.......you really need to do a plug chop in order to get it dialed in correctly........so it actually could have been running a little lean for all 10 hours. What fuel/oil ratio were you running?

yo CFH......Roseville is about 600-800 feet and if you ride around mio/oscoda area your lookin at around 1100 feet above sea level...

here in Mi you can go straight to our secretary of state office and just apply for a new title. if your the one who owns it then its like $10 for one to be mailed to you in about a week or $20 if you want one on the spot.....

they're about $6700 i believe......and yes you could bring them back if you could afford the customs import fees and the shipping costs. if you could get it shipped for free then you probably don't need to go through either the customs or the fees......however i don't know how registering it in your state would go without proper customs papers...

14/41 is what comes stock....if you liked it before just count the big sprockets teeth and order one with the same tooth count.

never seen that before either.....factory epoxy? someone has been inside your cases before.

so did it make its way all the way into the cylinders and wind up needing a new topend?
