once again you guys kill me with your sarcasm To the guy who started this post I have been riding for about 20 years and lined up against anything that wanted to race. 2, 3, 4 wheels, cars, street bikes blah blah blah. Who gives a fuck!!!! Want to answer your question line up and get it. If you are going to try and reserch the outcome of every banshee experience prior to it happening maybe this isn't the sport for you!

I heard Wal Mart is a good start with a good price!!!

:rotflmao: You guys are killing me today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is advancing 10 degrees even possible without blowing the motor?????

What went out the window? The trade, the trust, or both. As far as trusting him thats a question only you can answer. These days, trust is questionable in anybody. We live in a shady ass world.

499cc is a measurement that comes from inside the engine so if there is no paper work that is going to prove it then the only other way I would think to verify is to see inside the motor for yourself. Highly unlikely that the seller is going to do that for you. You are going to have to, "have faith," and believe what he says and hand your money over, personally this is not the road I would take. Other option is save extr money you would have spent on this bike and get one way cheaper then build it yourself. This way you know whats in it for sure, and you know its down the way you would want it done because you did it.

Na na na. It was a figure of speech. I was in the truck awaiting his call, so I could leave at a moments notice to go get the steel of a life time.

Here you go guys, check this shit out! http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/2930193434.html I found this at 0630 this morning. I thought it was the steal of a life time. I was in the truck, cash in hand, coffee consumed at 0700hrs ready to pick this baby up, while I was awaiting his return call or text. I got the returned text alright, and realized joke was on me HAHAHA but I wasn't laughing!!!!!!! His stupid ass roommate posted a fake add so people would randomly call and bother his buddy. I knew the shit was to good to be true!!!!!!!

First question is did it run fine last year when you let it rest? Did you drain old gas and replace with new? You say you checked reeds? Did you remove and check, if so make sure no air leaks at the reed gaskets. New plugs? If the carbs have been sitting since last year did you do the thorough clean and remove jets and clean extremely good especially pilot jet? Are the slides in the right carb? Is your filter clean? If so, did you over oil it, or are you sure its not suffocating with an outerwear? Thats all I got for now.

The needle is going to change your mid range. Here I put two extremely helpful links up about jetting that you must educate yourself with. After reading these you should feel a lot better. Trust me, ditching those stock pipes was best move you ever made and you don't want to look back. http://www.dfn.com/agservices/jetfaq.html http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23546

I agree, plugs looking pretty rich. Not really even close to coffee brown. Is it smoking like hell or what?

Try looking at this topic to see if you can find someone with a similar set up so you can get close. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99361

You know what they say, this definately is not the sport for "cheap ones." Hope it works out for you though.

Well you should really take a look at the carbs and jets. Before anyone can answer you questions you will have to be more specific about your set up to get the answers you need. If you want to know approximately what your jetting should be you need to post, air temperature, if you have an air box, or one with lid/no lid, pods, and elevation. Without this info theres no telling where you should be.
