  1. LMAO! , but just incase anyone needs to know, The synch is ajusted using the cables, so that the dots come up into the little windows at exactly the same time. The big thumb screws on the tors are to adjust the idle, and both have to be adjusted the same. Turn them all the way down, while watching the slides. Make sure they both bottom out, and tap the trottle slightly, watching carefully. both slides should start to move at the SAME TIME, if not, adjust one of the other up or down, until you get both to move at the same time. Then turn both up the SAME number of turns, usually 2-4, and start the motor and adjust same amounts until it idles properly. If the engine ignition kills when you let completely off the throttle lever, either the idle is too high, or the cable needs some adjustment at the throttle housing.
  2. What the hell is wrong with yamalube? Yamalube 2r is an excellent oil, and I'd put it up against ANY oil in a long term test. So what if it does'nt smell pretty?! Some of the better oils say to run 32:1, 50:1, 100:1, etc. Follow what the bottle says. make sure you double check your jetting, after finding an oil and ratio you are going to run, because only so much liquid fits through a jet hole. If there's more oil, that means there's less gas going through that hole, and vice-versa. It's not super critical, but if you're already on the lean side, it could make a difference.
  3. The only legitimate reason it get rid of the tors, is if upgrading the carbs, or throttle. The only people that have problems with them, are the ones that don't know how to adjust their carbs and cables properly. Just saying it like it is!
  4. I've gotten used to riding without them. I had to take them off, because I changed my pegs and put nerfs on, but at first, I kept getting my foot caught down behind the peg. I used to rely on the heel guards, and kind of used them as part of the peg, so when I got rid of them, it was noticable. Now that I've gotten used to riding without them, I don't even notice that they're not there, and I don't have any problems with my feet getting between the peg and tire, either.
  5. My friend is selling his 2001 400ex. New tires (stock) front and rear Very well maintained stock engine renthal bars Extra parts asking $3500 OBO call Brian at 630-327-7837 or e-mail [email protected] PM me if you want more pictures Located in chicago suburbs
  6. I've gone every year so far...have'nt missed one yet, and free would be really nice! I wonder if all the seats are free, or just lawn seats. I paid a little over $300 each last year, but got VIP access, private bathrooms, and all that.
  7. It's all in how you set up a banshee. They can be competitive in any type of ATV racing.
  8. My buddy just put those on his quad, and I'm impressed so far. He replaced his holeshot XCs with them and we did'nt notice a difference in weight or handling, although another friend of mine had some that looked just like them, but after two months, they got so hard and dry, that you could stand on them with no air, and they would'nt even compress, lol.
  9. We will have her in our prayers. It's a bad thing to get at such a young age.
  10. That service honda 250r is no joke. I've seen it up close and raced it. It's extremely light, and fast as hell. I watched it smoke countless modded 250Rs and banshees.
  11. geckos pretty much suck, but they will get you by. Much better than a knobby in the sand, but don't plan on winning any drag races with them in dry sand. I actually like them in wet sand, though.
  12. I run 100 octane, but have'nt rode my banshee in so long, I don't even know what the price is now, I think it's up around $5.50.
  13. I run mine at 28:1. I've run it that way since day 1, and it does'nt smoke much once it's warm.
  14. I'm planning on going, but not 100% sure yet. It's definately going to be crowded, but that never bothered me, especially since memorial and labor day weekends is the only time I have off work long enough to go.
  15. I have no problem with immigrants, hell, the country was founded by immigrants, BUT I hate the ILLEGAL immigrants, that think we owe them something and think that they should have american rights in this country. There's so many good people that come here the legal way, and deserve it for doing it right. To those people, my hat is off, and I say WELCOME. To the illegals that sneek over here, have babies and think we owe them something, F-U, get the fuck out! Most Illegals are pieces of shit, that we really would'nt want here to begin with, and if they were decent, law abiding citizens, they would have done it the LEGAL way to begin with. Where I live and work, WE are the minority. It's rediculous that you can't go through a drive-thru, or go to the super market, (it's now super mercado), because you can't read the signs or understand the person behind the counter. My mom got laid off from her job and has been searching for work for 3 years, and even though she's extremely qualified for what she does, she always gets the "We're sorry, but we need someone bi-lingual." She can't get health insuarance, but some illegal can come here and not have to pay a dime for medical expenses. I'm getting real tired of it. IT's like the law does'nt pertain to them. They do whatever they want, because if they get into a jam, they run back to mexico. Don't tell me I'm wrong, because I've seen it myself many many times.
  16. A couple guys I work with have those, but one guy has actual horns off of a train, but had them modified to work off the lower air pressure. I'll NEVER forget the day we were working in a neigborhood, and some little kids were on the curb, pulling their arm up and down to get us to honk our horns, but when he blew that train horn, those kids turned white as ghosts, and started crying histerically
  17. I have a 73 GMC 1 ton 4x4, but I want to get a 67-72 shortbed
  18. Do a search, you'll find tons of info. Stock, yamaha recommends 24:1 with their oil.
  19. It's not that bad. I had to paralell park a semi truck to get my liscense.
  20. I have a CRF 50, but I don't ride it. It's for my kids. I'd kill the poor thing
  21. holy shit, those are funny! My kid is cute, but he always gives me this look, when no one else is looking, and it freaks me out. I wish I could get a picture of it, but I'm beginning to think it's impossible. Whenever he gives me the look, I hear that music from THE OMEN. I swear he's plotting to destroy me. it's wierd that this huge crow hangs around his window.
  22. It's true....I know this, because I woke up one night chewing on something with this nasty taste, I went in the bathroom and spit, and some big ass spider legs came out.
  23. I use THESE. They're super durable, and have the measurements on them. The darker colors are hard to see through, though.
