  1. Can someone explain to me how timing is adjusted on Banshee?

    I know rotating the plate clockwise advances timing and rotating counterclockwise retards timing. Why exactly does the rotation advance/retard timing?

    Is it the rotation of the Stator? The rotation of the pickup on the flywheel? Something other?

  2. I have a polished dogbone I purchased a couple years ago (from Vito’s I think) and never got around to installing it. Does these come ready to install or does it need to be repacked prior?

    It looks to have a bushing installed on each side with grease. I’m not sure if there’s more to it. I have yet to remove the old one from the bike.

    JL egineering makes a $170 kit with a battery and mount. I had two batteries ruined so far with 2-4 hours of run time. I assume it's something wrong on my end. However, i will leave it as is without the battery and it will be fine. I got the DC conversion because i got tired of blowing LED's. I have not blown an LED since.

    Just run a hose from the cap and angle it down like stock.  The tiny breather has a ball to act as a check valve and as oil and dirt mix in the check valve area, it gets plugged.  This creates a vacuum in the tank leading to your carburetor bowls running dry, leading to a stuck piston. 

    It's happened enough that it is ingrained into everyone to point out how bad those are.

    Gotcha 

  5. I didn’t choke. Bike felt completely dead until some fuel started getting in the cylinders. I was opening the throttle a bit which I probably shouldn’t do. 

    Thr previous owner said the motor is brand new....less than 5 hours on it. I’m wondering if I should get a compression tester though. 

    You think the wire harness might be bad?
