  1. thats funny as hell That is definitely funny!!
  2. 180 to 190 depending on other mods. Give it a go, the top end will be great with that as well.
  3. I must really be fucked up cause I can't figure out how to play!!
  4. Probably the 2-into-1 pipes will have the deepest sound. Also, no offense but, the exhaust forum is about 11 notches down. Oh, and welcome to the HQ, sure you'll find lots of good stuff in here to lear about and places to spend your money. Later.
  5. Jeep, oh yea baby! The 2.5 ain't gonna see a huge difference with the header, it will see a little though, and I don't know how bad your shee needs it. I say, it's a tossup, go for the Jeep.
  6. All I can say is I'm glad it's gone from a cat. 4 to a cat. 2. It's gonna be bad enough, but at 145mph, where it was, would've been catastrophic. Keep your eyes peeled and stay safe fellas.
  7. Closest as in power? Closest as in performance? Closest as in overall? None! The Banshee is the ONLY twin-cylinder 2-stroke quad that ever was or ever will be, BAR NONE! Now, the LT500 Quadzilla is a power making SOB, it has a pretty hard pull that will make your ass pucker as well. I think that would be the only quad I could compare with the Banshee, just because it's original (being 500cc's) and they most definitely stand out and look different than the average quad. Do I really like them, no. Do I want one, no. But I would say that's the "closest". The 250r is a great quad, but that size has been tried and tested in many different forms, but the 500 has not.
  8. I was out in the woods this morning. Pounded it hard for 4 hours. Was in 2nd and 3rd gears in the tight stuff for the most part, and the gaps between the trees averaged about 1.5" on each side of my front tires. Some gaps were narrower and some were wider, but for the most part, it was tight as hell. It tracked awesome, went where I pointed and was much more stable. The backend seems to slide a little bit more, that's good and bad depending on the situation, I guess. I did hit the front left tire really hard once, and when I did, the rear scooted to the left which pointed me to the other side and then my right hit, kinda like a pinball machine. The left rear tire hit hard also. The front hit so hard, I was sure I busted something, busted a bead, or bent my rim or something, but it did nothing. Only thing, I do notice the difference at high speed with the negative camber. It's not too bad, but it will depend on the track. It turns SOOO good that unless there are some seriously high speed runs, I doubt I will change it. I might bump them out just a little, but I don't know. It's not so much that is was unstable at high speed, but it did want to wander a little, like the right tire would grab then the left would grab, but it wasn't too bad, just a little more sensitive I guess. I think I'm around -4.5 degrees of camber. -4 might be more appropriate or even -3.5. Steering was awesome, since I also had added the steel lines and steering stabilizer. The brakes went from a full pull with three fingers to lock 'em up to a single finger with light pressure. Had much more brake control and not needing much pressure was a lot easier on my right hand. The steering stabilizer helped a lot as well. Under normal circumstances, there are small logs, roots, stumps, erosion and loads of nasty shit in the trees and the stabilizer literall took all the harshness and jerkiness out of the bars. I started out in the 3rd setting and ended up in the 4th. Cool, later fellas.
  9. God damned fender stickers.... glad to hear it wasn't much worse.
  10. $3,400. Fox man.... gettin serious I guess. That's a damn nice shee for that price. Like fro said, I'd buy that bitch in a heartbeat. Hell, a person could buy that and then buy another a trail quad all in the same wack.
  11. Theres some stations in town but the highest octane is 91 you can get race gas at the oasis for $5 a gallon, but i dont know if its 100 or 110? anyone know? not sure. surely jim's will have some decent race gas. since i don't use, I never really ask.
  12. your lean bro. start going up with the mains and start with a 310.
  13. I was being sarcastic above anyway, because of the other "13 sprocket" thread. Try a 15/41 or at least a 14/41, you'll like it better.
  14. God damn that sand is deep. Have any more "sand" pics?? Oh, and just to clear it up, I still start out in 2nd. I keep 13, 14, 15 and 16 front sprockets and 38 to 42 rear sprockets, and I've tried them all. No matter what, I always end back at a 15/41. For my race next weekend, I might try a 15/42. Yeah Nate, sarcasm is my best friend, it's what keeps us going...
  15. Yeah, i'm definitely feeling it's gonna be fun. Oh, what gearing are you all gonna run in the sand this time?
  16. Uuuuuuhhhh, no I don't. Never been to Oregon, I'd sure love to someday, and I promise to gear down.
  17. Ha! Pussies! I run a 15/41 in the sand just the same. No prob!!
  18. does it just fall flat, or bog and sputter. I'm with lincster, I'd go up to 300 or even 310 with your tampons and see what shee does. elevation? gearing?
  19. no shit. i freaking hate lower gears. taller/higher gears allow you to pull a gear longer. some say lower gears in the woods, bs, taller gears will allow you to hang onto a gear much longer. with a lower gear, you'll be shifting more than going. you can have all the shit in the world and a 13/41, and you'll be spanked by a piped 15/41 banshee every time. I run a 15/41 and love it, haven't tried 16/41, but don't know if it would pull it as well. Best thing to do is to try it. Get a cheap JT sprocket from RMATV or MagicRacing and they're plenty strong, try it and see for yourself. If you don't like it, then put the other back on.
  20. Get rid of it, get a nice quick pull lever and block off your caliper, wait, that's already been said. Be sure to disconnect the plug by the parking brake lever on the bars and the other down by the radiator, just follow the first plug down and you'll see it.
