Washburn Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Ok I did it I got the Blue Anodized Stock Banshee Head With 20cc Domes From NOSS. First I would like to say what a pleasure it was conversing with David and his company reps. He/they took all of the time in the world answering all of my thousand questions and did it with patience and confidence. I know I said I was going for the 21cc domes in my last thread but hell I figure why not go 20ccs if I dont have to mess with race fuel mabey 1 gallon to 5 but thats fine by me. Ide also like to switch premix oils from yamalube/SMOKE to Klotz or Amsoil but my bike shop does not sell them. Next update will be front shocks (mabey an Impeller). What do you guys recomend for a 310lb rider? And how cheap could I go for shocks that I want to be on there for at least 10 more years? Quote

Washburn Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 i have Works shocks and love them, i dont like elka jus becasue your paying for a name... any shock you get isnt going to last 10 years your going to have to rebuild it every few seasons... also stick with yamalube.. its good shit.. alot of guy with strokers including myself all run yamalube... Yeah back before the Amish bought our sacrad riding ground (strip mines) and turned it into a logging company all of the Banshees and 250Rs I seen all had works shocks and ran yamalube thats all I ever knew. I always ran yamalube in my LT250R. I just hear the guys on here talking about Klotz and Amsoil like its liquid gold and their probably rite but point taken I will probably stick with the yamalube. Man People would come from all over just to ride that area and the property line is attached rite next to mine. It still makes me mad everytime I see it. As for the Works shocks I keep hearing Elka and Ohline. Espicaly for a rider my size. I definatly intend on looking at the Works shocks though and your word will definatly not be overlooked I just want what everybody wants the best money can buy for the money I intend on spending. Name brand doesnt mean anything to me only quality. Ide also like to add my stock shocks rite now are squeaky as hell man. I mean bad. I dont see any grease fittings for them. is there anything I can do to take the squeak away? Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 i would switch to klotz...its a good oil and has never given me any issues. as for shocks, i really doubt that any shock will last 10 years poundin on it but i run elkas on my craptor and banshee and i like them a lot. i would go for something a little higher end that works if u want them to last a while..and yes david noss is an excellent guy to do business with..

I went with 20cc domes in my NOSS head also, I wanted/want higher compression, but I currently kick 175psi on my stock bore/top end/port (very well maintained albeit). So if you are on stock bore/port etc. I would expect higher numbers than the estimates on NOSS's website. I am at 2000' elevation (I think I saw in one of your posts you were similar), so at sea level I estimate I should be near 190-195. If you are running any extra timing, plate etc. (like myself) I would advise race fuel (100% Trick 114 in my case). Quote
