I do not thik that it is just overflowing on the ground when i am losing 1/4 inch of antifreeze after a hour ride. there is something else going on and i am not 100% sure.

so was it the o ring like you thought. which o ring was it. i have had my head odd several times and all the orings look good. I can pull it off again and recheck it. I even bought a new o ring kit for it. I loose water while riding and when i am at a stand still and give it some throtle. it is a slow leak. I do loose it from the overflow bottle. I loose abouot a 1/4 inch of antifreeze after a hour ride or so.

I believe i am running the 300 and I run both at 4000 feet and at sea level. I am fat on the top end for sure. I blew up the motor as it was rebuilt and the guy who did the work advanced the timing to 9 degrees so it detonated. So I rebuilt it again and retarted the timing to roughly 3-4 degrees advanced. ( I believe it is advanced the only way you can turn the timing plate.) It has cpi pipes and a cool head with stock domes in it (ithink 22cc) I had it jetted to run both elevations without constantly changing jetts everytime i ride at different elevations. I guess it was more for sea level and It will just run a little richer t 4000 feet. The whole reason for the first rebuild was a bad water pump gear and the water pump was not pumping. fixed that and it gurgles and after riding and I lost all my water from my bottle and out of my radiator. The motor was bored during the rebuild but not sure how far. It was only 1 or 2 sizes up. I just installed a oversized radiator and will test it this weekend.

I am wondering if anyone has a problem with there banshee looses water. I have replaced the water pump, gear, and seal. It has been bored and I loose my water sometimes alot when it is hot and othertimes i only loose alittle. When it is hot out and I run it hard (I only ride in the sand) I seem to loose the most. I just put an oversize raditor in it to hel p keep it cool as It was getting hot. any help is appreciated.

I am looking to race and i am wanting to race flat track or even motorcross. Can someone help me out in telling me if they know of any place in or around sacrmento california. i am willing to travel to a reasonable distance but i am looking for central california mostly. any help is greatly appreciated. is there different age groups or what types of classes o they have. thanks

I am wondering if there is any place to race in northern california near the sacramento area. I know of sacramento race way but is there any place else that someone knows of. i have a banshee and a yfz 450. i am looking to get into racing.

I just bought a 01 banshee and i installed a cool head with 24cc domes which is about 120psi on the compression. I have cpi pipes and the air box lid is removed with a k&n air filter on it. As of now it has a 340 main jet and a 25 pilot jet. i believe the slide needle is an aftermarket and it is on the 2nd groove down from the top. i am going to go back to the stock slide needle as the ones that are in there are bent. I run this bike at sea level and about 4000 feet. I am looking to get an idea of what jets to run at these 2 altitudes and where should the clip be on the slide needle along with how many turns out on the air fuel mixture screw. i am currentlu 2 turns out. I also can not get the bike to idle and i have cleaned the carbs completely. Any info whould be great. Thanks in advance.
