Sure did, I've been hobby painting and powder-coating for a few years, so I'm not sure how I screwed it up, I just think it's not that strong, it stays kinda soft. I'm going to get some new orange plastics eventually.

Did some recent work: Installed 4 new front wheels bearings. New clutch cable New plugs And kick starter rebuild (with two o rings) Front end still shakes at higher speeds, but I pretty sure that's my shot ball joints.

OT Could someone please help me find a few parts for my 05 Kodiak 450? My water temp sensor is bad, the one that screws onto the head. I also need a coolant overflow cap, non of which I could find on cheapcycleparts.com. Very strange. Thoughts?

Meh, I was hoping it would be better, there are a few small spots where it's peeling.

Bought four BR8s.

Sorry for being a noob lol. What do I use to cut the plugs?

Does someone have a picture or instructions on how to do this?

I'd like to get some new plastics all round, but that's pretty pricey. Chop the plug? Sorry I'm new to the carb and two stroke world.

Yea I've been to the website, but you can't order from there. Weird. I'll have to give them a call today.

Thanks! How do I order from that site?

Rode all day today, the Banshee did great! Couple of things: I think my plugs were getting fouled, it started bogging down a little in low rpms, so I took them out and gave them a quick clean, fixed the problem. Doing wheelies is quite hard with this thing, the powerband makes it hard to bring it up slowly. Also, the grab bar doesn't stop the exhaust from catching the ground, can I get a longer one? I assume the quad is all stock except for the exhaust, has what looks like stock carbs on it. It is a little faster than my buddies Raptor, and about the same as my buddies 07 Honda 450 dirt bike. I ordered new front wheel bearings since my one side is loose. A new clutch cable to freshen it up, and a kick start rebuild kit. I need two new couplers/ gaskets to mate the front pipes up the silencers, where could I find those for a good price?

Thanks for the info guys! Any other insight?

This is my first post on here, been a member of many many other forums, no Banshee though. Bear with me. Picked up a 97 Banshee a few weeks ago and have been progressing through my list. Bought it for $1500. Powdercoated white frame and hubs FMF Gold pipes and silencers Not sure if the filter is stock or not It needed: A cleaning Appearance improved Front tires Tie rods Ball joints Hub Light bulbs Some wiring fixed (speaker wire on the headlights, yikes!) New clamps on the silicon couplers on the exhaust And MUCH more down the road Here it is after it's first cleaning: There it is by the door, getting torn apart next to my friend's and I's toys. Next I prepped the plastic, and sprayed with Plasti-Dip. I've heard good things so we'll see how it lasts, so far it's pretty good, just one spot where it started peeling. Cleaned again, I also fitted some LED front lights (not bright at all FTL) And here it is with the new seat cover, tie rods, silencers re finished, and how it sits now. I also just bought a set of almost new ITP front wheels, looking for some rear as well to start fresh and get new tires all around. Now on the questions or comments, anything is welcome! I have some questions though. What oil should I run in the gas? I've just been mixing the best stuff I can get at Advance Auto, and doing it 32:1. What oil should I use on the tranny/bottom end? How often should it be changed? Do I really need to re-jet in different temps? Any good ball joints out there that aren't $100? Could I save my one front hub that's loose? It is color matched to the frame and I don't want to have to spray paint a new one or all the others. The steering stem at the top can be moved back and forth ever so slightly, can I get a new bushing or bearing? Sorry for the overload of questions, thanks guys! They'll be more progress to come.
