  1. Yea, no more oil spewing out. Found out that 2strokes have a bottom end compression as well, and that was leaking into the clutch at high rpms.

     

    but funny how you skip over things sometimes trying to figure out problems, lol. Ill go drain fuel outta tank and carbs, clean em while I'm at it , then try again.

    Yeah sorry lol I dont know much about the bottom end

  2. Thinking it was fresh fuel, at least fresh topped off, and didnt really drop coolant. Guess Ill go through whole story. First year out(no.Co. dune only quad 6000ft) ran great, second summer it started puking oil outta breather tubes all over right foot and then started the bog thing. I pulled clutch cover off and the clutch and gears off crank and seen the crank seal had failed. Replaced the seal, rode it around and it ran great again, no issues(4800ft). Following weekend took it back up to the dunes(6000ft) started up fine, warmed up fine, started riding. Did the bog thing again. That's when I quit nd got the other banshee out, lol. Didn't drain and make sure it was fresh fuel tho

    No more oil draining out though right? Its not that much of a hassle draining out the fuel. Just turn the petcock off and pop the hose through, turn the petcock on and let it drain. Then on the carbs there are screws on the bottom on the flywheel side, loosen them and your carbs will drain out. Fill up with fuel and you can return to haulin ass lol

  3. Ok so I wanted to update this real quick. These are the measurements from the stock bleeder that originally comes on the bikes.

     

    Keep in mind that these have a point on the end of them.

     

    A (Overall Length): 27.34MM

    B (Hex Size): 8MM (M8)

    C (Thread Pitch): 1.25MM

    D (Thread Start to Tip): 17MM

  4. You should just rip off the original graphics on the front that are fucked up and get some matching rims and tires. And a yamaha sticker on the tank. All that would make a huge difference.

    I actually took those torn graphics off a couple of month ago and I have different tires on. That was it after I took the rack off the back, that was the only picture I could find at the time. Here's pictures of it now. I scrapped the stock seat cover because it was dirty and torn and this is just temporary. I have the same color purple vinyl in the garage.IMG_20141118_161933_zps1d9f68e6.jpgIMG_20141118_161959_zps66cf50cb.jpg

  5. For now, Krylon 1403 spray can paint will spot in and blend perfectly with the original color. If you mask whatever isn't silver you can touch-up with it  the spot will be un-noticable. I like to use tin foil and some tape to mask with since it conforms and stays put and out of your way.

    That's a cool trick but I'll just wait. It shouldn't take me too long to come up with the money to powder coat and I have a crack in my frame that needs to be welded in.
