Well hey there! My shits in a box still. New pistons, cleaned up cylinders, new gaskets, everything is ready just haven't had time to do anything with it since spring.

went to book a camp site last week for sep 27-30th for my buddy's bachelor party at LSOK before i learned everything was booked and it was the BHQ rides fault. FYF. If anyone is staying over at Dueces Wild we will be there partying in lot #23 with my brothers rig and a bunch of 3 wheelers plus my turbo yxz. See you guys out there, temps and weather all look decent

Never mind the fucker heat seized. Needs bored and some new parts. My brother is splitting the cases now to see if everything else is fine or what. Oh well, try again lol

just reserved a few camp sites up there for the weekend after next. I finish moving to Dallas this weekend so im only 5 hours from LSOK instead of 9 hrs from my house in St Louis. Friends/family coming out from MO, we are arriving late thursday night and staying through Sunday noon. Hoping to get my banshee back together in time. We have spots 516 and 517 right by the entrance to the sand reserved, feel free to come out and ride with us or caravan out there from Columbia MO/Dallas TX!

Some pre carnage shots. Busy moving but my brother is going to tear it down to see if he can figure out what failed in the next week for me My buddy Solle riding it as a back up one day, he brought a 450r Honda trike conversion that kept overheating so I stuck him on the Shee for a ride

Thanks for the offer to tear it down though man! At this point I'm broke from the week long Glamis trip, buying the YXZ, and buying a house. 40 bucks to ship a busted motor ain't in my budget this year lol

I'm not worried about it, just a bike. And I wouldn't blame port work, no way that would do anything. I've toasted plenty of top ends but never locked anything up, air leaks burn rings this wasn't a lean condition something came lose.

Bike ran strong as fuck for about 3 hrs before it locked up. Not sure if a wrist pin came out or what. It locked up at WOT, we towed it back 4 miles out of the dunes. Tried to see if it was free At camp and it fired up making some nasty noises. Coming back apart soon but I'm movin all my shit from STL to my new house in Dallas so I won't have time for a few weeks. On a side note my turbo YXZ ran its dick off all week 300+ miles bouncing off the rev limiter without an issue.

damn skippy! i really like these pipes, they should sing on the ported motor this time around. my only complaint from them is the chrome plating being a little shitty.

My brother Eric wasn't tryin to wring it's neck yet just doing some mild pulls short shifting. His wife was just taking small videos to send me on Facebook messenger. He just called me again to tell me how hard it pulls lol. He owned a power sports shop for a few years and built a handful of banshees but none ran this strong apparently Eric built a shelf system in his new enclosed for this trip, looking good in terms of space so far! Need to throw some paddles on the yxz still

My brother making some laps messing around before it's loaded in the trailer for Glamis https://vimeo.com/202671348 Thinking I might actually enjoy some seat time instead of rocking the YXZ1000 the whole time

Runs its ass off and shifts like butter https://vimeo.com/202656264

Forgot to mention that, I lost 1psi of the 6psi in 6 minutes, I was having trouble with my leak down tester sealing up perfectly but the motor is tight and perfect. I'm happy with how it turned out, and it actually has a decent amount of compression with the fresh top end which is reassuring. Started with your jetting and needle settings too, I'm betting it runs its ass off. Just need to force my self to give the turbo yxz a break so I can put a few hours on the banshee

Ya she fired right on up. Only let it run for about 10 seconds and shut it off, hadn't put coolant in the radiator or oil in the tranny yet. It ran so I finished assembling everything and stuck it on the trailer

Pingel install, took a bit to figure this shit out Loaded and ready to go to my brothers for heat cycles and be packed for the 25 hr drive Normally I'd be stoked about upgrades to a machine like this; double the hp, pro mod tranny, lock up clutch, LED light bar. All kinds of awesome shit. But all I care about is my new turbo YXZ1000R and fucking up sone sand in California
