WHERE SHOULD I GO WITH MY BUILD

[bebetekbanshee358]

HEY GUYS IM NEWBIE HERE. I HAVE ALOT OF MECHANIC DRAG CARS DIESLE EXPERIENCE I KNOW HOW FOUR STROKES AND TWO STROKES WORK. BUT I WANT ALOT OF OPINIONS ON DOES AND DONTS./. I HAVE A 03 SE BANSHEE BLACK N YELLOW...HAS FMF FATTYS AND THATS IT.. I RIDE IN NEW JERSEY 82A TOMS RIVER... IF U RIDDEN THERE U KNOW THERES ALOT OF CONSECUTIVE BACK TO BACK BUMPS. THERES A BIG LAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOUNTAIN... ITS BEAUTIFUL... ANYWAYS. IVE BEEN RIDING SINCE THE SUMMER. I WISH I WOULD OF GOTTEN MY BANSHEE YEARS AGO.. I RODE A J ARM WHEN I WAS A KID ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD..... AND NOW I COME TO LOVE MY BIKE..... WELL MY BIKE RECENTLY STARTED RUNNING LIKE SHIT AFTER I SWITCH FROM THE BEL RAY S2 TO THWE 927 CASTOR OIL... ALOT OF POEPLE TELL ME CASTOR IS THE SHIT.....WELL ANYWAYS I WENT OUT 2 TANKS OF THE CASTOR..... MY BIKE BOGS EVERY WHERE ESPECIALLY IN FIRST GEAR. I CAN NO LONGER GO PASS 3RD GEAR WITH OUT THE BIKE LOSING ALL OF ITS POWER.. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTILL I SWITCH.. I RAN THE BEL RAY 32.1. THEN SOMEONE TOLD ME TO GO TO 24.1 BECUZ I WASNT SMOKIN OUT OF MY PIPES... THEY TELL ME IM BETTER OFF CHANING 3MILLION SPARK PLUGS THEN CHANING 1 WHOLE MOTOR... THE MATH SOUNDS RIGHT TO ME.. LOL....SO I DID A COMPRESSION CHECK WITH BOTH PLUGS OUT AND WIDE OPEN THROTTLE..... WITH 3 PUMPS I GET ABOUT 55 PSI IF I KEEP ON PUMPING ILL REACH 65- 70 PSI.. EVEN IN BOTH CYLINDERS. I KNOW THE CYLINDERS DONT SHARE ANYTHING WHATSSOEVER EXCEPT NFOR COOLING FROM THE 1 HEAD.... I HEAR THAT THE SPECS CALL FOR MIN 110PSI.. BUT THE CRAZY SHIT IS MY BIUKE STARTS UP 2 KICKS ALL THE TIME NO PROBLEM... WHEN IT RUNS I HEAR LIKE POPPIN OUT OF MY FILTERWHEN THE LID IS OFF.. AS IS I HAD A BAD VALVE SEAT OR BENT VALVE OR STICKY VALVE.. BUT I KNOW 2STROKES DONT HAVE VALVES... DO U THINK I MAY HAVE A REED PROBLEM???? HOWEVER I TOOK THE CAGES OUT AND EXPECTED MY REEDS. AND THE REEDS SEEM TO SIT AGAIUNST THE RUBBER NO PROBLEM ON BOTH SIDE ALL REEDS SEEM TO TOUCH THE RUBBER.. SO I PULL THE CYLINDERS OFF. I HAVE SCRATCHES IN BETWEEN THE 2 INTAKE PORTS ON BOTH PISTONS. THE CYCLINDERS VERY LIGHTLY... THIS BIKE RAN LIKE A BEAST BEFORE..HOWEVER I ORDER A WISECO PROLITE KIT. 65MM...CLEARANCE IT TO .003 JUST WAITING ON 1 SET OF RINGS IN WHICH THE GUY FUCKED UP WHEN HE SENT IT...... I TOOK 1 CARB APART AND IT DIDJNT SEEM DIRSTYU LITTLE BIT OF DIRT NOTHING CRACKY THE IDLE CIRCUYIT WASNT PLUGGED OR ANYTHING BUT WHEN I PULL THE BOWLS OUT I SEE THE MAIN JET AND IT WAS 200 I BELIEVE.. IF IKM NOT MISTAKEN IT IS A STOCK JET. SOP I OPEN THE OTHER AND THE SAME THING 200..... SO IM SAYING TO MYSELF NO WONDER THIS BITCH RAN.. IT RAN LEAN WITH THOSE STOCK JETS THAT IT MADE THE MOTOR RACE.. U THINK BY THIS LEAN CONDITION I SCREWED THE RINGS UP???? ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT... IM LOOKING TO SET MY BIKE UP TO RUN AT THIOS LOCATION 82A........ THERES ALOT OF TRAILS AND ALOT OF SAND... . LOOKING TO MAKE ALOT OF FRIENDS HERE IM A GREAT DUDE...HOLLA AT ME.......THNX GUYS

Welcome to the HQ

Take the cape off please, makes it tuff to read

I have ridden 82 a few times, used to go there all the time

How are the cops down there these days?????? I was supposed to go there last saturday

 

Anyways, u seem like you have some knowledge on what's going on

If you are reading 60-70 psi, you def need to rebuild

Also, I would say that you should be close to a 270 main, if you had 200 in there, that could have very well been your problem, running that bike super lean.

I doubt switching oils was the problem, more like a coincidence bc you where running so lean.

Was just a matter of time that you hurt the motor.

I would inspect the reeds while you have everything apart, make sure they looks good and give the carbs a good cleaning, sand finds itself into every nuke and crannie

son of a bitch! my daughter just killed all that post i just wrote!..........anyways......

first, your gauge will give you a false reading for 3 reasons. you have to have a shrae valve in the verry tip, it has to screw in as far as the plug, and you are at high elevation. even pressure in both sides suggest that it may have been ok. now, you should switch the oil back to 32:1 927. clean burning oils are ok not to be smokin like a banshee, just a little bit durring startup and acceleration/rev. it will also leean you out, too. when you pull the stock, unmodified lid, you have to go up about 3 sizes. the pipes take 2-4 sizes, and the snorkel takes 1-2 sizes. elevation, temp, humidity, and fuel also effect jetting. do a bit of research in the jetting section, and it will really help you out. don't be afraid to ask questions when you are stumped. the stock carbs are really easy once you learn them. also, be really carefull about airleaks. so, aside from suspension needs, where do you want to go with your power and rideability on the engine? looking for mid-top, or lowend torque? max power? smooth operation? many different things you can do, it just depends on your budget and needs....

i need a good mid torque range for the fast trails but i need the top end to blow the raptor700r. not to mention im about 250lbs.i guess i didnt keep up cuz of the compression though. as for the suspension, i would love to runb a complete elka set up set for the trails... alot of people tell me to save the money and get 450 shocks....and a +2+1.. well i order a fmf jet kit.. r they any good??it all came brand new from eday.. jets and needles in seal bags.270 280 and 340.. woulda 33 pwk carb work better than a 35+pwk???rememeber my weight250...its alot of trial and error i really dont have money to waste on so i wanna do it right the first time. as of budget i should have about 2200-2500 to play with over the winter. everyoine tells me suspension is key........vital.....they say build my motor around my suspension set up.. know what i mean?>??

[bebetekbanshee358]

btw the cops are great they dont bother us for sure.. by any chance have u guys ever heard of tap'ing a carrier with a grease zerk fitting qand pumping up the carrier with grease???my uncle told me its a good idea if u ride in spots like i do with a lot of mud holes and water..he says it aids to keep the water off the bearings and every time to go out give it a good pump of grease to push against the seals on your bearing in the cariier??sound logical?

[AKheathen]

there are a few good pipes in the range you need, fatties being pretty close. i would jump strait to a 4mill build. it's about 1200 to get it done with all the porting, pistons, 4mill domes and crank...... likely want an aggressive trail, mx or dune port. 33's will do better than the 35's.

 

as for the grease zirc, it is a good idea, however, you have to remove the plastic pieces from the bearings so that grease can get in there. also a good idea to do the swingarm pivot, too. rust can chew it pretty good
