The track I ride at also requires you to have the overflow in place , on the MX course flat track and the drag strip , otherwise I would have probably done away with it altogether .
-
So I needed a quick solution for my overflow bottle for dunefest , I banged this out and painted it. Best part is that it cost a whopping $1.13 !!!!! The piece of sheet metal was sourced from the dumpster at work and the socket cap screws , w washers and nuts was yup you got it $1.13 .

DirtDiggler69 replied to kabner's topic in Banshee Repairs and Mods
X2 on checking the floats for cracks and filling with gas . If you are unsure , take them out and sink them into a container of pre-mix and see if bubbles start coming up . It sounds like your pilots are too small , have you made any changes to the intake or exhaust without rejetting? -
Runs with chokes on, but will not run without!

My 1st blaster was doing the same thing when I first bought it , would run with the choke on , choke off it would die and it wouldn't idle for shit . When I removed the carb I found that my main jet had vibrated loose and was laying in the float bowl . -

I recently got a TomTom for my B-Day and this Garmin is just sitting in a drawer gathering dust . It's in like new condition and comes with everything pictured . It's missing the USB cord to connect to a computer , the wife's mutt mangled it . I am sure those cords can be found for pretty cheap.

I'm putting my top end back together in the next few weeks , and I was assuming I would just use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze/ water , but what does everyone else run? I ride the dunes and obviously it's a work-out on the motor . Does anyone ride dunes here and just runs water only? Or use a water wetter product in the water?

dune port banshee vs. stock yfz450 drag race
DirtDiggler69 replied to willardwright59's topic in General Banshee Discussion
Why not just line em up and pin it !!!!!! -
I can see both sides of it , I have my own business as well but no employees it's just me . I run my business as fast and cheap and efficient as I can , afterall I'm only doing it to get more money . Now at my Job I am just an employee and I can see the differences in how Union and Non Union employees are treated . Our corporate execs enjoy multi million dollar bonuses and retirement packages , and yes we receive bonuses as well , and ai don't ever like to complain about free money but they are paltry in comparison . It's the way it is , The most from the least and you either deal with it or move on down the road . I have job perks , I drive my service truck home so I'm not commuting on my own gas or wear and tear on my vehicle so that's a plus in my pocket . 2 years ago the Utility merged with a Pension investment group and there was a major downsizing , 300 people laid off from the non represented side . They Laid off all those people and a month later in the company news letter it said , Welcome 33 new employees . LOL , WTF you fire 300 and new hire ( costs more than transitioning current employees ) 33. We are gears in the machine , and I'm fine with that . I have my Union that stands behind me and keeps me employed , keeps food on the table and a roof over my head . Years ago I was in that shitty Grocery Union , and it was a joke . The company approved the union before it could represent us! Lol contradictive to say the least . And yes there is some rediculousness when you think of a maids union or a bus drivers union , and yes I think the Unions have become very top heavy BUT! Our Unions have to do battle with corporate America and they use the same tactics that are used on us , lobbyists and political posturing and back room deals may be shady at best but you gotta fight fire with fire and take victories as they come . I am a shop steward , I believe in what I say and I know it has it's faults but without Unions the landscape of the American work place would be far different .
-
Lots of truth here . I don't agree with the anti union comments but to each his own . I'm a 20 year Journeyman gas pipe fitter and my quality of life is far better then it would be if I worked outside of the Union . I'm also a shop steward and I have to go to bat for guys from time to time and I don't always take their side , especially if they have gotten themselves in hot water . I try to buy items made in or by American labor , it's not always easy and It's hard to convince others to do so. A few years ago I needed a new Flag for the house b/c my old one was faded and tattered and it was time to replace it . I went and searched everywhere for an American flag made in America . I finally had to ask my wife's aunt to sew me one from scratch . We live inna world of guarantees , everybody you do business with wants one . Your creditors your bank your cable and Internet providers and even your cell phone provider . No one seems to get too upset when they sign a 3 year commitment with high penalties for early cancellation for even a new phone . But when American workers stand up and ask for a commitment from their employer to take care of them in good times and bad , all of a sudden people get irritated . If it wasn't for Unions the Landscape of the American workplace would be far different , but Unions aren't all about seniority and money . The Workers Union goes back to the days of the Freemasons , The old give to the young the knowledge they have learned and essentially you have taught a man fish and with that knowledge given , the next generation puts his hands to work and one day he forges the next link in the chain and passes it on to his apprentice . And my TV is a RCA bitches , made in the USA!!!!!!!

My buddy is a dealer for Streamlight , the lamp is the 100,000 hour 7 LED bulb model called ( Septor ) these lights are basically a headlamp with the strap removed and then fixed to the helmet shell . The mounting base stays attached while the lights can be removed by pulling the screw/ hinge pin . To install or remove the lights it takes under a minute . I have 2 sets of these ready to be shipped . $50.00 includes the ride . The lamp has a 3 way switch so one press only 1 led comes on , 2nd press 3 are on and third press all of them are on ,4th press and it's off . 3 AAA Batteries for each one included . 3M mounting tape is also included . I'll post up a night picture for comparison so you can see the light they throw .

I'll get a night picture and post it up . If anybody wants a set of the lights , PM me .

Ok , I have been reading older posts regarding the tether switch installation and I am just a bit confused on the wiring . It's a 2 wire normally open switch ( when the clip is pulled the switch closes ) . Of course it didn't come with instructions like it was supposed to but the description of the install is the short wire to ground and the long to the coil positive wire ( Orange I believe ) . I have ditched my run/stop switch and wired up my headlights to come on all the time . I understand that when the tether is tripped it opens the circuit to the coil and shunts it to ground . So the stock run/stop switch wires , currently they are spliced together . My key switch is deleted by splicing those 2 wires together . The Ground to the frame is easy to do , I get that part . How and where do I splice into the coil? Can someone fill in the gaps for me?
