twistingixxers Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thank you ^^^^ I was wondering the very same thing. That's totally messed up if you guys are goofing with me. and the only reason that I asked is because there is no temp guage no where on the bike...Its ok though. What would be the pros / cons with running a 4 mil banshee engine over a cheetah engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cal Suspension Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 That's totally messed up if you guys are goofing with me. and the only reason that I asked is because there is no temp guage no where on the bike...Its ok though.

The top hose is where coolant comes OUT of the engine, so that will be your most accurate temperature reading. Hey guys, I bent an a arm, what would you guys recommend for a replacement? There's some good aftermarket a-arms out there that won't break the bank, or if you have stock a-arms, I'm sure NYUK has one he can sell you.

I was wondering why the bikes didn't come with a temp guage from the factory, just the nature of it I'm guessing. Also I found out yesterday that banshees don't like the slow trail riding for extended periods. After a while of going slow the bike started "popping". There was another banshee rider with us, he stopped everyone one and said to head for the gravel roads so he could open his bike up a little. At first I didn't understand why. But after following him and doing pretty much the same thing he did, the popping stopped. He later told me that banshees operate better in the higher rpm ranges and when riding slow trails can foul the plugs. I was considering RPM Industries A's but have not heard anything of them...Has anyone tried these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistingixxers Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) WoW..!! Didn't take long did it..? Well you listen here Troyz-A-Stain...Let me break YOU in Newbie Style...I know comprehension is another one of your short comings and if it does not have pictures then sometime the general idea escapes you......I am planning on getting out this weekend and get some short vids and pics….but I will post pics pecker head That is a really good deal, and I have ordered plenty of stuff for my bike from DennisKirk. I am going to look up moto sport… do they specialize in tires? And your right point about deals on this site…Goodness seems as if bikes are built raced a little then sold to order more parts-which I’m cool with…I have been reading and trying to get a feel for who’s who and who to stay away from. Blue Becky....No more get the fuck out... Edited April 15, 2012 by twistingixxers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
