another PRM vote, trails by me are pretty rocky and I ride it like a rental. I have the .250 swing arm one, and the belly one too, either .190 or .125, don't remember...good shit tho.

Heck yes, I voted. Although I didn't care who gets in here in MA - they both suck IMO, so I kinda felt like I'm voting for the best loser. Honestly, one of the main reasons that I did vote is that we have 18 year old kids dying every day overseas protecting our country, way of life, and our right to vote. I totally disagree with having the troops over there, but it's not their choice and I feel it's just one more way to support them. I didn't have the heart not to vote...NOTHING against anyone who didn't, just my opinion...

ahhhh - you mean you're smart and are doing it the right way! Wish I did the suspension first, needed a top end and kinda just got out of control from there. Next spring will be the chassis...stock is pretty bad but once you get some mods that give a little more grunt it goes from pretty bad to dangerous. Plus my out of shape a$$ needs all the help it can get! Good luck with it :beer:

hey Liftd...yeah, another new englander. Not many on this site lol! I love my 2:1 carb, but I'm not a good guy to give you a review - I added the head, new top end and mild porting, reeds and +4 timing all at the same time as the 2:1. Needles to say, it's substantially better. Wish I added it all separately so see how each did, but I don't always have as much time as I wish so kinda gotta do it all at once or it will never get done! I only had the stockers with the pipes on it before that so not a fair comparison. I LOVE the way this thing runs on the trails now though. I still like the 4 strokes, and I can't tell ya it has 4 stroke low end, but I can tell you that when one of the people in my group gets stuck, it's seldomly me. This thing gets it done on the trails. Not that I have an expensive set up by any means, but if I was looking for bang for the buck, I'd bore the stockers to 28 and use them and pocket the $500. Don't get me wrong - love the single intake, but a couple 28's are supposed to be pretty good too. If you have $500 laying around, it really is a nice set up for the woods. I don't mind screwing with 2 carbs, but I'll tell ya 1 is really nice. I love how people say Banshees run like shit, yet when we ride I'm NEVER the broken one! My buddy and his rock solid 400 ex has to crank the shit out of that thing to start. Two kicks cold, one hot and I'm off...not sounding like lawnmower lol... I've heard nothing but good about the -1 rears for MX or trails, it's on my list for spring. Doubt I'll be out any more this year...kinda expect snow any day now. Love winter, but sure does sucks for riding.

Just ran across this thread, cool to see people interested in setting Banshee's up for trail. I was anti-Banshee for basically my entire riding life because I life in Western Mass and ride in the Berkshires. Basically, if it isn't mud - it's granite. Not Banshee territory. About 2 years ago I rode my buddys, bought one a week after and will NEVER get rid of it now. Love that quad, nothing else like it. I get a sence of satisfaction getting that beast through a trail that my friends on the all mighty 450's have trouble with. Then we hit the dirt roads and I roost the shit out of them when I blow their doors off. You can definitely set these things up for tight crappy trails. The mods in my sig work very well together. Next spring I'll dump the T-5's for some PT Mids, but other that that I love the set up. T-5's are great, but just want to try to smooth out that hit a little more. Plus, you can really do any of the mods one at a time, other that the trail port it's all simple bolt on stuff. Now I just need time to ride the friggin thing... :: I was surprised that only one guy (that I noticed anyway) mentioned suspension for a trail set up topic, those stockers are pretty bad. A descent suspension set up makes a huge difference. It can get pricey so suppose that's a good reason it's been back-burner'd lol.

That's some F'd up $hit. There are legitimately good caring people out there that would love to have a baby and can't, this chick can bread so many of them their disposable to her. Good thing her mother didn't have the same attitude. I wonder if she waited a day if she could have looked the baby in the eye as she shot it. Seems worse? Not really...murder either way. I hope to god they at least take her other kids from her.

I second that, I have pretty much the same set up you have. Not sure what kind of porting (unless I missed it) - I just have a trail port and the 35 works great.

I've got his woods port on mine along with the other stuff in my sig, most of which I got from Jeff as well. It REALLY helped, it's a great combination for trails. I can tool around with the kids in first with no trouble, and when I'm out with the guys you can really get on it - power everywhere. Can't tell you it will keep up with the dune ported machines, but for a true trail quad, it's as much as you'll every be able to use. Can't say enough about Jeff's work and service, awesome guy to deal with and excellent work.

I'd love to but too much crap here in western MA!

ya know...now that I think about it more - I might have persuaded mine a little. I believe there were casting marks (or something or other) on either the carb or adapter - really small, but enough to cause it to bind and not fit together. I either filed it or wet sanded - but a VERY small amount - don't really remove any material, just clean up the edge. Also watch for any microscopic metal filings, probably don't want them in your carb.

When I put mine on it was pretty tight, at first I though it wasn't going to fit. Is it way off or really close - like close enough to work it on without damage?

Jeff is F.A.S.T. Jeff - hands down a great guy to deal with. He's at FASTOYS on here or give him a call at 785-364-5325. He's getting a website soon too, like any day actually I think, not sure the address though. Search Farm and Sand Toys in Holton KS...you're in good hands with him. :beer:

Dude, that just isn't right...call them. When I got mine, it was on the web for like $469 or $479. I actually bought it through FAST Jeff, but he charged me exactly what was on Trinity's site, or maybe he charged like $10 LESS than their site - but it definitely was not more. It was the carb, intake, throttle cable, airbox adapter. Everything needed was included. Not tax / shipping, but if they told you shipping was $15, the extra $85 must be tax...which means your tax in CA is like 18 or 19% - which I doubt. Definitely call them. If there prices went up, so be it. But if it's still advertised at that price they should honor it. Good luck bro...

I put a Trinity 2:1 on this spring with the 35pwk and love it. I ride all trails, some pits and stuff but even they're a little tight around here. I really think it depends on where and how you ride. You guys out west or in open areas may not run them much since you can really use the top end where you ride. I think a single 35 has more top that a totally stock bike, but it will not be able to compete with the top end bikes some of you guys run. I wish I could compare just the bone stock set up to the 2:1, but I added other stuff with it so it's not a fair comparison. I can tell you that it's a REALLY simple set up to tune, and now I've got a reasonable bottom end on a pretty quick trail bike that is stone reliable with basic maintenance. And when it does open up a little I've got the giddy up to still put a smile on my face. I've got the mods in my sig, FAST Jeff set me up with it all (not the pipes...but I'll prob be switching the T-5's for PT Mids at some point) and it's a great trail set up. Love it or hate it I guess, I love it.

I run the Trinity single set up with the other stuff in my sig and love it. I ride trails, pits, that kind of stuff. Nothing really wide open like those guys out west. Since I run into my fair share of mud, I still run the airbox sans lid. I had no trouble getting it all installed. And, yes, you'll lose the TORS. It's nothing but an ugly pain in the a$$ anyway, so fil that away in the circular where Yamaha should have put it in the first place. I would think the 33 would be fine if you're just going to add some pipes. Good luck with it :beer:
