I can't beleive that you took an exhaust question and turned it into a boost bottle emergency. Why is everyone turning into drama queens when it comes to these things? Leave it alone. If someone wants a friggin boost bottle, then so be it. Let them find out by searching this forum. Can we please drop the boost bottle bashing?

Sounds like it got a shoulder cut into it. You can either grab a BFH, or try what elllison said. I don't think a hammer is going to get you past that lip. Your best bet is probably going to be cutting it out.

Cheapest? 1" Radiator hose, and 2 hose clamps. That's what I did, and it works. You cant see it, so who cares about looks?

Maybe a shorter swingarm. Get those rear tires tucked up under your ass. That'll give you some more traction.

just make sure you use petroleum jelly, and not KY jelly. :ohmy:

It's white? Are you losing coolant? Water makes white smoke. Being rich is black, and blue is 2-stroke oil.

Yup, when I used to work on cranes, we used red wheel bearing grease.

I used this on my big block for the front and rear intake gaskets, with 13.5:1 compression. It built up alot of crank pressure, since I never installed an evacuation system. It would blow the gaskets right out everytime I started it, but the Permatex was a one time installation. Held up until I sold the engine.

Well, ya gotta kind of respect the National Wildlife Reserves. It sucks that you lost a riding spot. I ain't no angel when it comes to finding places to ride, but anyone that rides on a wildlife reserve is looking for trouble. I do think it's kinda f'd up that the cops rode ATV's to catch people on ATV's. That's a little hypacritical. Might be a good defense in court.

didn't he beat the girl cops ass? is that the dude that was at the day care, and kicked the door in?

Calm down fellas. No need to scrap over some carb problems. The dude's just trying to help you out. He just pointed out that you contradicted yourself. Maybe it was an accident that you did, but you did. Carb problems can be frustrating. Count to 10, and then tell us exactly what's happening with your bike. Have you done a plug chop?

Here, how's this? The one at the VW store doesn't come with an adapter for bigger carbs. So you have to buy that seperatly. $10 more. Not to mention all of the free advice that Jeff gives to people on this site. Support the site sponsors, they're why we have this awsome site to begin with.

You ain't right. That is pretty funny though.

I gotcha. Well, this no name swinger that I have has been up several steep hills, off many jumps, and flys through the trails. Like MJ said, the bearings take a beating because of the extra pressure on them. I have a +4 axle, so mine takes a little more. I just replaced mine a couple weeks ago. But, bearings are like $30, and it takes about 30 minutes to replace them. I just drilled my carrier and put a zerk fitting in it, so I can grease the bearings. You just remove the inside dust cover on the bearing itself. They should last alot longer, actually getting greased on a regular basis.

If you're just doing some recreational riding, they sell those stock style swingers on eBay for like 250. Do you plan on jumping or hard racing? If not, one of those might work out good for you. I don't know what brand mine is, but it looks just like one of those on eBay, and I beat the piss out of it. No problems yet. It was on the bike when I bought it.

Alba action. They might have it.

The best/fastest/easiest way would be to do it in a bead blaster cabinet, and tape off the ball joints so sand doesn't get in them.

My bad, looked like an older Chevy in the first pic with the rocker panel cut out. Didn't see the whole side view. I guess your sig would have been a clue, huh? :wallbash:

Try cleaning the hell outta the carbs. A piece of grit will cause a load of problems. Take them off, spray them out with carb cleaner and blow them out with an air hose. Make sure you take out the jets and clean them out good.

You're crazy as hell. There's a 2008 LTZ-400 sitting in my garage right now. That thing handles like a tank. So does my buddies Honda 450R. They both feel top heavy as hell, and push through corners, BAD. I still have the stock shocks on my banshee, and that thing handles like a sports car compared to those bikes through the woods. I'll walk on a ltz or 450r with my ALL stock suspension banshee.

Cheap knock-off, and doesn't come with the adapter for bigger carbs. You have to buy that seperate. Just get the one from FAST.

And that's where they shine.

The stain looks cool when you spill it on the side of your gas can, and it gets on the garage floor.

You're wasting your money buying V-Force, if you're not making ass loads of power. Buy some Boyeson carbon fiber reeds, and a cool head.

I'm kinda curious. Why?
