Yo guys, I went through and deleted all the stupid stuff from stupid AKMoron. Hopefully the post can get back on track with good information that will be useful to someone's build. All I can say is that I know NOTHING about turbo setups and that they look entirely too confusing for me to wanna deal with. That said, all the stuff looks pretty sweet when it's all put together. Nice work!

That BJ Penn would've never lost to Frankie Edgar. Totally different fighter as far as I'm concerned. How about Rampage? I know Machida/Page wasn't terribly exciting, but I thought Machida would clown on Rampage. Rampage controlled the pace, was the aggressor, landed some good shots and took home the W. Machida did whip his ass in the 3rd, it was just too little too late. Some people at BWW where I was watching were dumbfounded that Rampage won. I thought it was a good decision.

Played out?! Joe, you're the only person I know of that has something like that!

Pics or GTFO!

If you aren't breaking shit, maybe you aren't riding hard enough!

This obviously isn't an uncommon problem. Seems like several people have no had issues with Vito's. The cases that the Vito's crank went in were the same ones that the Crankworks was in. The two Crankworks I had lasted 2 years a piece. The fucking Vito's lasted a week once and then a couple months the second time. I just had a Crankworks 18mm crank in brand new Matton cases break all to shit. NO fucking time on that motor. I don't trust any crank honestly, but the Vito's seem to have quite a short life span.

You know, I don't really wanna hear any bullshit about have these cranks fucking welded. Vito's claims they are trued and welded from them. I don't really think that I should have to pay $700+ for a crank just to turn around and have someone else weld on it. That's fucking BS. You can get the same forged crank from Crankworks for about the same money and I'm sure it comes fully welded or whatever. So what kind of welding is done on Vito's that is apparently not good enough? http://www.vitosperformance.com/atv_parts/product.php?productid=11240&cat=200&page=1

Two 10mm forged cranks and one 18mm billet crank.

Agreed. I've have 3 Crankworks blow up on me now. They just didn't do it as quick as the Vito's.

I too agree that Vito's cranks are fucking junk. The one that went in my 10mm cub motor after I sold it to bbcmudtruck came apart twice. The first time we sent it back and they fixed it for free and sent it back for free. The second time he sold the motor and washed his hands of it. Vito's absolutely sells fucking junk 10mm cranks.

Let's swap pics!

That bike is sick.

That's a good lookin bike.

Installed properly there is no reason for them to leak. I've never had one leak and I've been using a NOSS head for years.

Umm, pics?

Thank you. Finally someone that could put into words what I've been trying to convey about the Elka linkage for a long time. And like I said, the regular rider that doesn't frequent a MX track will never notice an extra 1.55" of shock travel.

Haha, I got a response!! Does any of that shit make any sense???

Yo guys, MattSCESC started up a suspension business and is now offering his services to BansheeHQ members. I think he's going to be a good addition to the current BansheeHQ sponsors. He has specifically sponsored the Suspension Forum so give him a shot when thinking about your suspension upgrades.

E-mail sent... Hi, I am wanting some more information about your pipes. I currently have FMF pipes on my Banshee and wonder if these will outperform them. The bike runs alright as it is but do you think these pipes would give me more power? My buddy think they might. He has a 400EX that he thinks can outrun my Banshee. We haven't raced yet but I am determined to beat him. Do you think I can beat him with the FMF pipes? Do you think I would beat him worse with your pipes? Money is no object. I just want the best performance for my money. I am just over in Clearwater and could drive over to look at the pipes. Is there a good time to come? Also, would you take $550 for them? It will take me another month to save up enough allowance money for them. My mom told me that if I take out the trash and help with the dog more I can make more money. Can you believe that she actually pays me to do that stuff? Seems kind of ridiculous but I won't argue. Do you have a Banshee still? Is it fast? Why are you selling these pipes? They look really nice. Any dings or dents in them? One of my FMF pipes has a dent in it where it hit the tailgate on my friend's truck after the ramp slid out when I was loading it. It really scared the crap out of me! Those ramps are dangerous. Now I just lift it in there because I don't want anymore dings. Do you think that ding will affect the performance of the bike? I hope not. Do you know a lot about Banshees? If I brought my bike over do you think you could help install the pipes and do the jetting? I am not even sure what the jetting is. My friend says it's when you adjust the black knobs on the top of the carbs. I don't really want to mess with anything because I'm afraid I'll mess it up. Anyway, please get back to me about the pipes because my friend keeps talking more and more smack and I want to shut him up. Enrique Estavez

Primary Drive sprockets and D.I.D chain. Both can be ordered from www.rockymountainatv.com

Not a chance in HELL that part is worth what Elka wants for it. I'd put money on it that not one person on here would notice the difference between a stock setup and one with the Elka linkage.

Holy shit.. That's terrible. I am surprised that the sprocket didn't start losing teeth totally. You need a whole new transmission shaft.

Hahahaha, I got it now. Smartass!

I am confused as to where I come in here?
