You missed one hell of a weekend! Weather was nice & there wasn't many people down there really. Only thing that sucked was the banshee took a shit on me 1st ride out Saturday, pretty sure it's time for a new top-end but I didn't screw with it down there. Gotta tear into it & see what's up. Thought I just fouled a plug & it was fouled, but there's no exhaust on the left cyl...still has some compression but I'm not sure how much since I didn't have my checker on me. So we'll see....other than that, it was great, the buggy ran kickass & that damn EX got some use this weekend other than back & forth to the bathroom. And congrats on the new niece!

LOL...forgot all about that joke, one of the last jokes my old man told me before he kicked the bucket.

My thoughts exactly.

Agreed. I've ridden them and have real good friends that ride them. With just a good pipe & air filter setup they run really damn good. Good all around bikes if you ask me. If I were going to spend that much on a quad though, personally I'd spend just a little more and get me a yfz...but considering the guys I'm referring to are 220+, they are better suited on the pred's & love the shit out of them for what they are. Bottom line, there's always something faster. If you got the money, anything can go fast.

Sounds great! Do us all a favor & lets keep the liquor away from Preston this weekend. Me on the other hand...well...I'm just ready to party & since the ex will be there, liquor may be my saving grace! LOL! Taking off around 2 today to get everything ready & so we can get outa here as soon as possible, hopefully no later than 6pm.

Well load your shit up & head north, you & Scott oughta figure something out! How the hell ya been anyway?

I agree...for 18k you can get a pretty nice used truck that's more dependable & likely to have a warranty. That's a shitload of miles too.

It should, check it for info & specs on checking the stator.

aka Banshee owners bible, maintinance manual; one of the best investments you'll ever make. New intake boots would correct the problem if in fact their cracked leaking, if the durn thing would start you could spray some carb cleaner around there & if it revs, there's your problem. Since you can't do that you may try pulling them off & going over them very good looking for any signs of cracks. Have you checked to make sure that it is even getting a good spark now?

Hell why not just take a damn yfz & throw a banshee motor in it!

Yes, a crack would cause you more issues when on the gas since it's sucking more air...I have never found anything that's sure-fire as to why a stator goes bad. I've been through some myself, had them go bad just sitting there, and after riding & never have I had one slowly go bad or anything like that. If you have a clymers & an ohm meter; you can check the specs on the stator....or just swap it out with another from another bike if you can. I'd definately be checking for leaks, but 90% of the time when backfiring on a shee occurs it's timing related. Make sure the stator & CDI connector is good & no prongs got bent when you connected them together.

GD tree huggers. "special tires with rubber flaps." That cracked me up, I gots me some rubber flap tires.

Hell of a deal. Well wish mom & the little one the best. Gotta do whatchya gotta do man. Stinger, I'll keep an eye open for the stiffy!

I'm pretty sure it's just the older models like up through 91-92 that have the round plug. My '97 has the square plug. Have you looked at it or had someone else check it out?

Since you've already went over the carbs again, I'd check for an air leak, cracked reeds, incorrect timing and/or bad stator....in that order.

The fact that when you're riding all your troubles are left behind.

I'm there!

LOL! Right to the Gallows Pole...

Hell yeah! Also throw a round-house carrier swingarm on there, and a different air-box/filter setup from the factory.

Would be a fun job, too bad I got too much holding me back here in KS.

Yeah I'd start around 350 & work your way down until you get it dialed in right. Sounds like you got a hell of a deal!

LOL! A little boy is waiting for his mom to come out of the changing room while shopping with her. The little boy gets bored and when his mom comes out, she finds him sliding his hand up a dummy's skirt. "GET YOUR HAND OUT OF THERE!" she shouts. "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT WOMEN HAVE TEETH DOWN THERE!" The little boy quickly snatches his hand away and thanks his lucky stars that nothing serious happened. So, for the rest of his life, this poor little boy grows up thinking that all women have teeth down below. By the time he reaches 16, he finds himself a girl. One night, while her parents were out of town, she invites him over for a little action. After a few hours of making out and grinding on the sofa, she asks him to go a bit further. "What do you mean?" he asks. "Well, why don't you put your hand down there?" while pointing to her privates. "HELL NO!" he cries. "You've got teeth down there." "No I don't," she responds. "Yes you do," he says. "My mom told me that you do." "No I don't," she insists. "Here, look for yourself." With that, she pulls down her pants and gives him a little peek. No, I'm sorry" he says. "My mom already told me that all women have teeth down there. "Oh for Christ's sake!" she screams. With that, she whips off her panties, throws her legs behind her head, and says, "Look, I don't have any teeth down there." He replies, "Well, with the condition of those gums I'm not surprised." Bruce comes home one day and says to his lover, "Please do me a favor. It feels like something's stuck up my ass. Could you check it out for me?" His roommate lubes up his finger (mercifully) and shoves it up Bruce's ass, feeling all around, and says, "I don't feel anything." Bruce says, "Trust me, there's something up there. Try lubing up your whole hand and checking it out." So his roommate lubes his whole hand and sticks it up Bruce's ass. He feels around, and then pulls out a Rolex watch. He says, "I found your problem. There was a watch stuck up your ass." Bruce starts singing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Mommy, Mommy! What happened to all your scabs? Shut up and eat your cornflakes! Mommy, Mommy! But I don't like tomato soup... Shut up, we only have it once a month! Mommy, Mommy! Are you sure this is the way to make ginger bread men? Shut up and get back in the oven! Haha...I'll stop there.
