hey guys, grand rapids, MI here, looking to hitch a ride and possibly split a campsite, anyone have some options? thanks!

glad to see that i'm not the only one confused here!

I haven't bought the timing plate from F.A.S.T , but everything else i have bought from them has been top notch, and if you ask around on here, guys will tell you that they have great service and products, i actually haven't heard one bad thing about them! So i am sure that timing plate will be great!

I change the oil every 10 hours of ride time.

X2 D.I.D.'s are absolutely phenomenal!

yea, i've used klotz before and i really like the stuff, seems to work great for me too, lately i have been using the honda high performance gear oil because i had some sitting on my shelves for the longest time, and that seems to work good as well. anyone do the pancake bearing after their ball welded? how tough of a job is it?

yea, they are a great time!!

does it do any damage? or hurt anything?

What happens if the clutch ball welds to the pushrod?

cable is brand new and so is the clutch, maybe adjustment is my guess

jeff at fast will recommend +4 timing, and that will give you about 2.5 hp more

ive heard klotz fluids is great stuff! how often do you change your trans oil if you use that?

so what would be a good trans oil to run then if you want it to last longer? i was told to replace trans. oil after 10 hours of ride time, no matter what oil it is.

Someone told me they run Type F automatic transmission oil in their banshee, i was also told by the same guy that this is what a lot of drag banshees will run. Is this right?

hey guys, when i was drag racing last weekend, i was holding my clutch lever in, and winding out the motor and my shee was slightly moving forward, i'm guessing this is an adjustment i need to make to the clutch, does anyone know exactly what it is?

alright thanks man, i have a an 83 k20 im working on and my bros 84 k10 right now, so i have to put the banshee on the back burner for a bit, the next time i'll be a silver will pry be memorial weekend, you gonna be up there then?

yep, stock carrier, all the more reason to get a +4 swinger while i'm doing work to it, you guys know of anyone with a +4 swinger for sale? or about how much they are?

stock radiator, sorry your right, 1/2 gal. stuff works great tho!

no kidding man! i was watching you almost the whole day! i had the blue banshee with the white flames alba racing graphics, i wanted to race but by the time i saw you out there, i didn't want to hurt my shee anymore than what it already was!

so do reed spacers even do anything then?

correct me if i'm wrong, but if you were burning the coolant in your cylinders, wouldn't that make your spark plugs white? also, fyi, i know "Engine Ice" is a special coolant that supposedly lowers temps on engines up to 50 degrees. I've heard nothing but good things about Engine Ice, and it's only $20 for a gallon

Hey guys i'm a newer to the website and absolutely love all this banshee info. on here! Wondering if someone could help me out. I went to Silver Lake opening weekend 4/2, and did some drag racing and duneing. After some riding, my banshee started wobbling really bad in the back, i checked it over and the two axle nuts came loose and i could spin them with my fingers, i tightened them up and made a pass on the drag strip and it was wobbling again, and the two nuts came loose again. Would this mean that my axle bearings are possibly shot?

I'm from the Grand Rapids area too! Silver Lake is my favorite, usually hit it up on the holiday weekends!

Could u send me some pics of the bottom end, and what kind of shape is it in when u say the clutch is a little busted up? also check to see how much shipping is to: Jenison, MI 49428. Thanks!

The clutch pressure plate and the clutch boss might not be lined up right, i know i lined them up right the first time i did everything, but when i put in the new shift shaft, easy spring and ecentric scew, i think i forgot to line them up again, that could be part of the problem, but not all of it, b/c when i had it lined up to begin with, it still wouldn't shift. The cases went together fine, i didn't have to hammer them together and the bolts sealed fine on them. I know for sure everything is right with the ecentric screw, like was said the old one had grooves in it, and i replaced it with a new one, and it is lined up with the correct gaps on the shift star, thanx for that by the way. I can't get the shift drum to move to any gear at all, i can watch it move a tad but thats it. I think my best bet is to split the cases again, and make sure that everything is right and go back through everything and make sure its all there and right, if anyone has any other tips, it would be greatly appreciated, and thanks guys for all your input already, i will keep you posted! thanx again!
