Jesus Tapdancing Christ. You've been here, what, 2 years? Did you see anywhere that he said it was an alcohol drag bike? No. The correct plug is B8ES.

tdod101 is in Ontario and is parting one out. Might check with him. Might save you on shipping. He's a great guy to deal with. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177192&hl=

They used to be $8. Then they went up to $9. Now they're $14. Still one of the cheapest improvements you can make to your bike. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Banshee-Clutch-Cover-Vent-Block-off-Plate-/110747369144?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19c90ebeb8&vxp=mtr

No, the height and width are swapped. Must have got lost in the translation.

That won't work. You have no idea how it fires both plugs.

Damn, those are some wide tires.

Exactly as mentioned above. Asphalt is what grinds them down. Don't do burnouts, wheelies, or high speeds on asphalt. When you do have to ride on asphalt, try to avoid sharp turns, where 1 tire is slipping. Cranking the power on, on hard dirt surfaces will fold the paddles back and split them.

Yep, razor blade. Do more of a vertical scraping motion than a horizontal slicing motion. Then go back to the guy that did the pc and kick him in the nuts.

Fouled plugs?

So, you wash the shit off Ray's junk?

Works for me.

You mean Rattle Can Ray? LMAO.

I think you haven't quite grasped the concept. If it's too rich, it runs blubbery and may foul plugs. No big deal. If it's too lean, it burns a hole in the piston or seizes the piston in the bore. It's way better to start rich and lean it down as necessary, than start lean and burn down the motor. Just because Joe runs a certain jet combination, doesn't mean your motor will like it, or that Joe's motor is jetted perfectly. Just because you got lucky with your previous jetting snafu, doesn't mean you will get lucky again. Now put the 27.5 and 280s in there and go ride it like you stole it.

Don't run it anymore til you change the jets.

I don't know what you have in it for pilots now, but you probably need 27.5 pilots.

Yes and no. It does not affect the pilot circuit at all. It has it's own air source. That little round hole at the edge of the carb bell. However, in theory, having the slides in backwards should make it run slobbery rich EVERYWHERE EXCEPT full throttle. At full throttle the slide is all the way out of the air stream and not affecting anything. Like I mentioned, I've never personally done it. Just heard of it and applied logic to what is going on. Now stick some realistic size jets in there and let her rip.

OK, I just read through 15 pages of bullshit. In a weird sorta way, I'm gonna stick up for the kid. Although there are many very intelligent Banshee tuners here, how many of you were changing carb jets at 15? Hell, when I was 15, I bought new sparkplugs for my car because they were rusty on the outside. Yeah, he insisted it "ran fine", and cousins uncles whatever said it was fine, but nobody here thought to tell him to check and see if the slides were in backwards. He figured that out on his own. Give him some credit for that. I personally have never put slides in backwards. I saw it on BHQ where someone said, "All I did was cleaned the carbs and now it runs like ass". Someone mentioned the slides and sure enough, that was the problem. That got me to thinking, sure enough, that makes sense. If the cutaway is towards the motor, the non cutaway side is going to act like cupping your hand over the carb and creating a much higher vacuum at the needle jet and sucking in more fuel. This fuckup only occurs on stock Banshee carbs. Nowhere else on the planet, that I know of. So, in diagnosing someones problem, sometimes it's hard to visualize what kind of stupid mistake someone could have done to CREATE a problem that doesn't occur naturally. You've got to give the kid credit for trying to fix it. A lot of people would have just said, "screw it, I can't figure it out. I'm just gonna buy another set of carbs."

I haven't read your jetting story, but I can tell you this. Putting in the slides backwards will make it run slobbery rich. If you compensated for that with much smaller jets, and now you put the slides in correctly, you are waaaaaay lean. Fix it before you melt it down.

Take a hammer and punch to your junk case and see if there are plugs in there like the shift shaft plugs.

Read the year off the title. Make sure title vin matches the bike vin. If you're buying and all stock bike without a title, you better be getting it CHEAP.

This is where things get a bit muddled. The RZ350 in the rest of the world was a RD350. The RD350 in the US was air cooled.

You can go as big as the limit on your credit card. Is this really a "money is no object" question?

You mean like reboot the system?

"big bad mamba jamba". LMAO!!!! "This does circles around my friends supped up Banshee" http://eugene.craigslist.org/snw/4630677533.html
