Update for you guys, after cleaning the pods and checking my harness (I noticed the harness was being burned by the exhaust). The quads riding like it should again! I appreciate the replys fellas!!

Honestly I was trying to remember what triggered it and I can't recall. I know when I picked up the quad it was riding good, I clean and oil filters after every ride almost. Didnt get the chance to mess with it today I will tomorrow though. Hopefully it is something so stupid as me over oiling my pods

Never thought about that, I'll clean them and take the quad out see what's up. I'll keep you guys posted The air filter does touch the harness could this a problem? I will ziptie it so that it will be completely out of the way. The left pod filter also kind of rubs the left exhaust pipe. For some reason my right side pod has less space than my right side pod. I'm thinking my exhaust isn't fastened correctly or something. Would this possibly give me an issue as well?

Rode it for almost 20 minutes each time without filters and it rides perfect.

So i got an 03 banshee with CPI pipes, v force 3 reeds, mild port with 65.50s and 35 mm PWK air strikers. This quad rode great for about a week after I had my guy install a new lockout clutch. Now the bike runs like shit, but only with air filters!!!! Every time I take the air pod filters off the bike runs fucking great, but I dont want to run with no filters. My original jetting was 168 main jet. I tried dropping to jets sizes I went down up to 160 at one jet size at a time. The quad seemed to run fine each time I dropped jets but as soon as I hit it in powerband the quad starts to sputter and bog. Once the quad bogs out on the powerband, the quad will sputter the WHOLE ride home. I called the dude that just set up my motor and told him this he told me that maybe my filters were garbage, to go back to original jetting and get new filters. so I went and got actual K&N not "Ebay shit filters". Oiled them up threw them on with original jets and the same thing. I start dropping jets the same way and the quad reacts the same way. I even tried raising the needle jets on the carbs and once again the same thing, leaving the gate of my house the bike seems fine. (bikes up to temp fresh plugs everything good) then once I hit powerband boom bike rides like crap. The strange thing is that even on the original jetting which was 168 main jet and middle clip on the needle, AS SOON as I remove the air pods the quad does not sputter not one bit and rides like it should. This leads me to think its jetting?? At this point the only jet I have not tinkered with is the pilot, the dude that built up my motor wants the quad running a bit rich he said that would be the best way for the motor to run. "Better to swap plugs than to swap engines". He hasnt told me to mess with the pilot and I dont think the pilot would affect the quad this much? What are your thoughts on this? Ps. Sorry for the long post I tried to be as descriptive as possible

Yes those are definitely it. Only thing that could be different is threading or size but I doubt it. And geez 70 bucks each I think I'd rather order new arms lol. Thank you so much fellas

They do seem similar but i cant seem to find some threaded like mine. Closest i saw was the all balls bearings when i searched but even those didn't look like these

So I'm trying to find some replacement to these. But I've never seen them and I cant seem to find anyone who would know where I can find these. They have threading and basically screw on to the lower a arms. http://tinypic.com/r/314x9gy/9 https://www.imageshack.us/i/pnAcTxJaj Any suggestions?

I'll definitely look into blackandyellows and see what's up with that. And as for the fireballs, I've honestly never heard of that brand which is why I was a little less interested in those, I know I can buy fox floats with LS arms for about 1k brand new as a set on ebay, I'm hoping I can get lucky and find a deal on here for something I'd like more. Like I said anything is welcome

Thanks for the reply! I'm looking for something a bit less expensive and if I'm going with the elkas I'm pretty set on LS which I can get around that price new. Anything else guys?

What's the difference on long travel arms? I would need long travel shocks as well to go with it? Also what's the difference in ride? I'm about 220 lbs and I occasionally like to throw my girl on the quad with me. So that's something to keep in mind. I dont want to have the issue of bottoming out

Still available? If so I'd be interested in the elkas and the arms. Via reply or PM is fine. Thanks bro.

So the ball joints on my stock arms are through. I would like to upgrade to the lonestar a arms and elka shocks. But it is not neccessary. Anything that will fit perfectly on my banshee is welcome, I will look into whatever you have if I'm interested I'll take it. Looking to buy something asap.

Let me know if you still have the elkas or know of anyone who does for sale. Also looking for lonestar a arms

What' up bro! Yeah the what's running pretty dang good now, it' still bogging here and there on top end but it's my jetting and before I can address that I need to get my brakes going. Plugs are looking nice and dark brown but I haven't done a true top end plug chop yet. As far as my back brake I just realized the new master cylinder I bought off eBay had a smaller push pin than the original so that gave the pedal some extra slack.. cheap Chinese shit.. oh well I drilled the hole bigger and now im off to find me a new push pin. This will resolve most of my slack issue on my pedal but I know it won't make my brake function properly just yet. I will try bleeding the master this afternoon in hopes that will solve my issue.

New lines, new master cylinder. I will try this tomorrow. The brake line you're telling me to disconnect to bleed from is the brake line that runs from caliper to master cylinder? Never heard of banjo. Brake pedal still feels pretty soft up until the end where you feel the caliper really start to squeeze the rotor. Even though its not squeezing enough

What's up fellas, As soon of you know I have a 03 banshee I purchased used some months back. Since I got the quad the rear brake was not working and the front were hanging by a thread. Past couple of days I've been working with the brakes since some parts finally got delivered. Now I've bled the rear brakes and they appear to be working, only issue is not working well enough. In order for the brake to actually hold the bike I have to press the pedal all the way to the bottom. Even with the pedal bottomed out I can still move the bike with enough pressure. Needless to say, when the quads in motion this feels almost as if the brakes aren't working. Could this be an air pocket in my lines/cylinder? I have bled the brakes several times and all that comes out is squirts no bubbles. Or is this something else? NEW BRAKE PADS, NEW MASTER CYLINDER, & NEW BRAKE LINE. Front brakes will be coming soon, I have to buy bleeder valves for the calipers.

No I never pressure tested just did a compression test and felt around the cylinders/head. I'm gonna have to get my hands on a tester, I'll probably make one I hear it's pretty easy. & I have an ohm reader but not an automotive one so I doubt it would work. Is this the only way to tell it's working properly?

Haven't checked anything electrical. Buddy of mine said my issue sounds like an air leak or electrical. What would I need to check on the stator side? He told me to unscrew it and make sure everything is intact and tight. Besides that any in specific? also dm me your # and I'll send you pics of whatever you need to see

Gonna try 30 and a few around there. & if it were up to me I would have stock cylinders, but it came with 6550 already and I needed to make the jump to clean up my cylinders. will post results once I have adjusted the pilot. Also gonna post pics of my plugs. When I had the 310 jet in there (since I got the quad till just a few days ago) the plugs would look black and oily. Which I know can be more than just a rich condition. I have 290s 300s and the original 310s with me so hopefully one of those does the trick. Should i I mess with needle clip? Or worry about main and pilot first? e- after about 10 mins of riding with the 290s plugs are brown and dry.. no noticeable change in performance

I got this 03 banshee used a month and a half ago and I've been dropping $ on it non stop since I got it.. and it's still not riding right. Frustrating to say the least. i will tell you guys everything I've done to the quad to help figure this out. Feel free to skip to the end if you don't need to know everything. when I first got the quad it was running. Most noticeable riding issue was the clutch. Took the quad home started giving me issues with leaking carbs and hard to start. Rebuilt the carbs adjusted floats they stopped leaking. Also got the clutch working properly after about a week. Quad shut off and backfired on me during a ride so I got a compression tester and one side was 180 and the other was in the 50s. I pulled off the head it seems I had pre deto. I rebuilt the top end with 66.50 wiseco pistons it had 65.50 before got new vf4 reeds the reeds it had were toast. The quad starts up first kick every single time. But after the break in and a full day of riding with no issues, a few days after that the quad rides boggy and unresponsive in the low end, once power band hits all the power hits as well. I take the quad out for another ride and when the quad warms up and I ride it hard as I start to shift down my quad begins to what I believe is a "misfires" and begins to shut off (as I hit the throttle it sounds very strange almost like no power is pushing through) until I hit 3rd or 2nd gear where my bike fully shuts off. Once it turns off on its own like this it's very hard to start. But once it does start it rides even worse than it was before. So finally I checked compression again it's still 150 on both sides just like after the rebuild. So I'm hoping my issue here is jetting. I just put 290 main jets in from the 310s o had before but the bike is still doing the same thing. No noticeable difference imo. 25 pilot jet, needle in middle groove. Does my jetting sound right for these mods? Vf4 reeds, CPI pipes, cool head, 66.50 pistons, very slight porting (according to the guy who worked on my cylinders).

Gotcha, to roll the motor over can I do it with the kicker by hand or do I have to get to the flywheel or something? Also what thickness solder if it matters

In the case or by the perch? Also what are you the thoughts on the 25 pilot jet?

Alright so just looked up some videos and looked through forums some people say to remove my head some say you can check it with a solder through the spark plug holes. which would you guys reccomend?

Dome angle you mean?? I will I'll look into what a squish is rn
