Farm and Sand Toys

I bought a banshee about 3 months ago, and it was my first dirtbike since i was about 15 when i had a bultaco 125. It had a home ported four mil when i bought it, and after about a month of riding it sputtered to stop and the kicker was locked up.. Someone forgot a cylinder locating dowel...

 

 

Anyways, i got a 68/58 serval and basically everything to seal it back up and some maintenance items, a whole new clutch setup and head with 23cc domes as well. around 3400 bucks all together, and it was a great experience. Fast shipping, good packaging and they helped me out alot on the phone, and this was the first 2 cycle ive ever built, so im sure theyve heard my questions a million times but they didnt seem to mind.

 

If your banshee is broken or you want to make it faster, farm and sand toys are the only people to call

 

 

Also the serval is tits. Its not all low end either, it can be wound out pretty damn far. I can feel that my pipes arnt really the best thing for it, but im broke now so theyll have to do. Ive never heard a 2 cycle idle like this either, really cool sounds. Compared to the 60thou over 4mil with a pretty high quality home port job, it has more power all over the rpm range for certain, and you can putt it around without stalling it constantly. I usually ride pretty quick but it was embarrassing when id slow to go past my neighbors house up a hill half the time it would die, but no more! its quicker from a stand still and rolling in 2nd than my buddies stock CR500

 

 

The only thing that i had trouble with putting it together myself with a modest tool set was listening to the clymers manual about torquing the clutch spring bolts. just hand tighten them with a 1/4 in drive ratchet... dont torque to 10 n.m (if you have the F.A.S.T. clutch springs anyways)
