Here's a pic of Cheetah10mil and I down at St.Joe State Park this past saturday sporting the new threads. Just letting everybody know of the gathering in May Jim.

Sounds good to me CGR fmxer let me know of the times of the show for saturday and sunday. I will be at St.Joe both days so I can just hop over there later that day. When was the last time you were there it's been 2 yrs for me. It was not a good time the trails were brutal for my 400ex but the track was awesome I wonder if they made improvments to the trails or made more. It seemed more geared towards the jeeps and rock crawlers at the time. Either way let me know as it gets closer i'm sure we can all go over for a good time and great show Jim.

Allright I finally got my lazy a** outside and checked the carbs out. It has a 160 main 42 pilot and the needle clip is in the middle. From what I have read it seems that the pilot is too small and the main is a little high, because of work and the weather I still haven't had a good chance to ride for a long period of time. So my question is how far off do you think it is and what range of jets should I get so I can have them when needed. I figure anything above 65* and sunny i'll be riding and mostly racing Jim.

Sweet thanks for the quick reply Jim.

So after moving in 1st I should not need the clutch after that it should go right into 2nd (upshifting only) . Sorry just want to clarify this thanks Jim.

So do I have to use the clutch for 1st to 2nd shift or was he just being cautious? Thanks Loco it was a great buy but this was his backup bike to a 10mil cheetah on alcohol wich he sold for 4500 that would have been an awesome bike as well Jim.

Well there's another question I have he said that the tranny is cut. Well it only has 5 gears but in this sequence 1-N-2-3-4-5 and he said to use the clutch from 1st to 2nd but thats it the rest will shift right in. I will say that is what it does but I never heard of this and not sure why you would do it. I need some warm weather and a day off to really get on it come on spring Jim.

That is very true Larry so true... Jim.

Yeah Jr I will definately ride the 400ex I will have to have something for the woods and to jump at St.Joe. Now the amount of time on it will be less for sure because I will need alot of seat time on the 10mil Jim.

That's at my buddy's house he is trying his hand at making some custom frames. Right now him and his dad are just doing some mock up with cheap pipe. i'm sure he will chime in here shortly. For sure I didn't think of that thanks. Once I get the carbs off I will see what the jets are and probably ask you guys what you think. I definately will get some pics up all I had at the time was my cell phone plus I had to goto work last night. Thanks for the compliments guy's I would have rather built it myself but I couldn't pass this up Jim.

I proud to say i'm a new owner of a 2004 Banshee that I bought yesterday. It has a long list of goodies that was already done to the bike and made it an easy decision to make. First off the entire bike was clean as a whistle the only place I found dirt was the cross bar under the front of the motor case. No signs of wear from normal riding were your legs would rub the frame and even the kick was not worn down. So the engine mods that I know of is 10mill crank works crank, cub cylinders with a mild clean up port, cool head, cpi small bore pipes, cut tranny, new oem clutch with lockout, 35mm Keihn carbs and k&n filter pods. It has a 10 inch over swinger with I think 72inch rollout 11 paddle skats the gearing i think is 15 45 not 100% on that. The list goes on and on and all I paid for it was $3700 like I said earlier it was a easy decision. Before I get it out I plan on changing all fluids, check compression, pull the carbs and check the needle clip and the jets that are in it right now. Is there anything else you can think of that I need to check let me know. With all of the excitement right now I have the last thing I want is to rush into it and miss something. I have been on here reading the forums for awhile and I like the amount of info here and the nice people that respond to the countless threads that seem to be simillar. Hope to see everybody at St.Joe this May as I will be there for sure Jim. Sorry for the small pic when I get it out I will get a better pic.
