Cotton eyed Joe

The first time I did that in front of my riding buddies they all laughed their asses off. It works!! Fred Flinstone style.

I thought about getting into the used parts biz, but the few horror stories I know about stopped me dead in my tracks. I don't think I have the patience to deal with what you must go through everytime you part a bike out.

But the bad part is I SPEND most of my day trying to figure out exactly which group I belong to.

HAPPY 29 RED ORE!!

TRIPLE STAMP NO ERASIES!!

The shift pattern on the side of the case should look like this: 6 5 4 3 2 1/2 2 N 1 R You just have press reallly hard on the shifter while turning the bars all the way left.

Did you check for any wires running from the rear of the bike, to the front, that might have rubbed on the frame, or melted to the stingers and shorted out? I had it happen this last summer at the dunes.

It was bad enough to read about Ellisons bike being trashed by a couple of idiots in impound, but some of the shit that followed, regardless of the excuse was pretty fucked up.

I haven't heard from him in over a year I think. The last time I heard from him is when he shipped me a rear skid plate.

I think thats the single most awesome thing I've ever seen on this site.

I have a relative that likes to fly airplanes, but isn't too great at landing them. lol. I want to get one of the larger styrofoam planes and learn with those. The funniest thing I've ever seen was when my relative was getting ready to fly his A-10 Warthog and someone leans over to me and says...You ever seen a Warthog become a Groundhog?? LMFAO Damned if that little bitch didn't lawn dart about 30 seconds, full throttle into the ground about 20 feet in front of us. We were picking up styrofoam for 15 minutes, looking for parts in the dirt to rebuild this thing... Great summer time entertainment. I might try to get the old lady to give in on a couple this summer so we can have something to do on the down time at the dunes.

LMFAO He could have dementia too. Did he talk about anything strange like a world bank scandal, or aliens living in his basement?? I had some old relic start in on me about those 2 very things at the post office on the 4th of July this last year. Then he yells out "THERE CLOSED!!" no shit... I had my stamped letter in my hand, with my other hand on the drop box about 2 seconds from dropping it in. WTF?? I think the dude escaped from his home or something.

I don't want you guys to think I'm ignoring your replys and PM's. I got a few PM's from this thread, and I'll have to answer them on monday when I can check what I have in stock. But for the most part I can make a brake line what ever length you need, with the stock 10mm size banjo. I also have a trick banjo that is a swivel, so there is NO twisting or tension in the line at all. I'm sure I have the "T"'s the banjos and line in stock for front brakes, but before I say I can have it all to someone by wednesday or something I better do a quick check.

I sell an adaptor for 1 1/8 bars. PM me if interested.

I sell stainless brake lines. What you looking for?

You mean a fruit like this?? http://hometown.aol.com/millertale/images/fruit%20color.jpg Or do you mean some other kind of fruit?

I've had that little spring on the radiator hose rub against my frame and make a hell of a racket before. I have it zip tied away now.

I've been a member of the HQ since 98. I log on in the morning, and at night, and only post a few times per day, but it adds up. Quality should be paramount over quantity.

I run Prestone 50/50 in the radiator, and run Valvoline in the crank case because its the only engine oil I can find that has no friction modifiers. I dont feel like running Yamalube yet. Before I ride I'll check bolts and nuts, check for leaks around seal areas on the engine, and snap the throttle to make sure its not going to hang up on me. I'll typically put a pump or two of high temp grease in the pivots every 3rd or 4th ride, and before storing it for the winter to drive out any moisture.

I've always wondered what would happen with a 2mm-4mm shorter stroke. I know I saw something along time ago about methanol powered ice racing (not dragging...but oval) banshees running shorter stroked engines than stock.

no, thats with no filters at all. My banshee goes so fast then, even the dust and sand can't keep up with it.

Yes. Because at 2 hours and 30 seconds there is no way it could ever blow up. In fact, I run mine for 2 hours, then rejet it to 170 mains on stock carbs.

c It will take you longer to go buy the seal from Yahama than it will to replace it. Here's how I did mine. Get the seal Take the stator cover off along with the shift lever Get a couple of sheet rock screws. CAREFULLY GET THE SCREWS TO THREAD INTO THE SEAL!! DO NOT GOUGE THE ALUMINUM SEAL AREA THE SEAL IS SEATED IN OR IT WILL LEAK FOR EVER AND EVER!!! Once the screws are in about 2-3 threads worth, start pulling on them. DONT YANK ON THEM. Pull on them. Make sure to do it evenly. Take a clean rag A CLEAN RAG!!!! and wipe out that area, the shift shaft, everything. Make it so clean your momma would cry. Put a little oil on the shift shaft to make sliding the seal down it easier. Slide the seal into place, then tap it in with something that won't fuck up your seal. Fill it back up with oil, park it on a clean surface, and let it sit for a couple hours.

When I first got my banshee it would squeak like that, and it was also hard to push around. After I rebuilt it the first time it was still hard to push, and the rear brake squeaked.... This last time when I took off the e-brake, I noticed how effortless it rolled around. No more squeaking as well. I think....mind you I ONLY think it was the e-brake dragging. The stupid piece of shit never worked right to begin with. Set it tight enough to hold the bike on an incline, and it would drag while riding. Adjust it so it did'n't drag so bad while riding, and it wouldn't hold shit.
