[What bike is good for the wife?]

Mine is on a Banshee, but she knows how to ride it. 400ex will last forever and is mellow enough to not scare the timid, yet powerful enough to get out of it's own way or climb a decent hill.

[In house frame modification questions.]

Great advice as stated.

 

If you cut and extend your stock swingarm, put a sleeve inside the tubing to take the stress, that z400 is my girlfriends dads bike, and it truly sucked dealing with that out on the sand. Think about how heavy that arm is going to be when you are finished...IMHO $$$$ ahead to fab a whole arm.

[How to get carb bowls to not leak]

Ours dont drip at all, maybe the floats need to be adjusted?

[heel guard]

Hopefully JD will chime in. Is he officially producing those heal guards? I thought the ones pictured were a one off for a customer. We have set of his foot pegs and they are killer! If he is producing the heal guards we are IN.

I apologize for the thread Hi Jack.

[Banshee leaking radiator fluid]

He does Banshee arms too.

 

The Banshee that we currently have, we bought from my girlfriends sister, this same individual who did the broken swingarm had been working on that quad as well, found a crack in that swing arm, foot peg bolts too short, being held on by two threads on one side, wrong bolts run in on the other side fucking up the threads, front brakes full of air and barely working and dragging...fuck the list is endless of stupid shit I have found and I haven't even gotten into the engine yet....oh I cant wait for that, but it is a runner, not leaking and has good compression so we are hoping it makes it through the summer

Is that a z400?

why didn't they learn from the old LTs?

That design is shit from the factory.

 

Yes it is, yes it was a shit design, made worse by some hack that put a 4" extension on the factory swinger......butt welded the aluminum no sleeves to support the weld joints. I would go on a rant, but not today. This work was done by a local shop here in Oregon (name withheld because it is not my bike, my work, nor do I personally know the person who did the work).

Pic of a shitty swing arm when it goes, you decide.

I just looked at ours, your spring loop on the pipe is welded on in the wrong place, ours are almost on the bottom of the pipe, horizontal to the frame tube.

 

If these are new T5's send them back, or search for shorter springs.

 

I will try to post a pic.

[Banshee top end tear down]

why waist the money on porting if you are gonna go 4mil "next time"? Put new rings on old pistons and run that shit, next time will be here in no time.

 

Gotta love seeing people give 100% solid advice only to have it land on deaf ears.

I have stock springs on our T5's had to pull like hell to get them on. Wrong springs? 

[2003 banshee not revving, tors and parking brake eliminated, any ideas b4 i take it to the shop?]

I believe there is a great tutorial in the technical section on leak down testing and a DIY on building the tester.

[Clutch cable holder]

10-4 my extractors came without bits, but hey we are all on the same page :-)

[Clutch cable holder]

This is gonna sound funny, but try and find a left hand twist drill bit....try the auto parts store. As the bit grabs the bolt while drilling and runs it out. I have few and they are life savers.

[2003 banshee not revving, tors and parking brake eliminated, any ideas b4 i take it to the shop?]

The post says he rebuilt it, but nothing about a leak down test. I would revisit that ignition pick up and cdi.

[Steering stem stabilizer]

Prices vary, bar mounted can be as much as 5-600, stem mounted for about 250-300, but I am sure there are deals to found. The more adjustable the better IMHO.

For trail riding you will notice a nice difference in arm fatigue. The damper keeps the bars pointed straight as you hit bumps, rocks, roots etc. It will take a bit of experimenting to get the damper dialed in so you can turn the bars, yet not get the bars ripped out of your hand when you hit rocks, roots and such. I have a Scotts mounted on a KTM quad that I love, you come up on shit and you brace for the hit that never happens because the damper took it...best money I spent for trail riding.

[Protaper bars.]

I had a set of pro Tapers like in OP's pic, they were on a dirt bike though. They were OK. The Fat bars offer a little more flex than a cross bar handlebar, but really it is rider preference....most people stay with the fat bars once they run them.

Doubtful they cross over, go to rocky mountain atv or another site with OEM parts fiche online and cross reference the part numbers, could do the same with Motion pro as well.
