racer Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 my neighbor heard that banshee was havin some down time so he was talkin to my dad about it. well my dad says "yeah, he burned up the left side from a lean condition, he (me) thinks it may have been a seal." so this guy proceeded to tell my dad how jetting and airleaks dont have anything to do with EGT and that the reason i did that was because i put to hot of a plug in last time i changed them. i just want to hit the guy, one for doubting my knowledge of my own bike and two for that stupid ass comment. he also went on to ask if i mixed my gas? he is a fourstroke owner, but GD doesnt he even have a 2stroke weedeater or sumthin? i mean shit. should i ask him why then i didnt burn both pistons? or should i just chuckle on the inside when i dust his stickered-to-the-max 400ex? people these days.

nickxc Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Man that pisses me off too. I hate it when people who have no idea what they are talking about tell you how to tune/work on your bike. There is a guy around that is such a know it all and he is always telling me stupid shit that makes no sence and he is saying how well it has worked for him. I say something relavent and hes like "no that wont work Ive done that on some of my three wheelers in the past." and I just wanna kick his ass but that still wont prove how mechanically ignorant he is...

. Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I love when the conversation starts out with something like "So how fast does it go, 90-100mph?" or something like "How fast does it go?" Usually I just start talking about the muffler bearings and what color powerband it has and see if they act like I know what I'm talking about.

Banshee~ Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 stickered-to-the-max 400ex? I like how you put that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 stickered-to-the-max 400ex? I like how you put that I liked that alot as well. Just keep it inside, and rather than tell him, SHOW him when you're crossing the finish line on two wheels and the dirt is just starting to hit the ground at the starting line.

racer Posted September 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 CEJ, you are correct, that is the plan. good news too! the machinist at my work says he can rebuild my crank for a case of beer and the cost of parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 kick ass on the crank rebuild... That shit can get expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Totally worth the suds on the crank rebuild. Be sure he has all specs and tolerances and make sure you're neighbor is there to walk him through the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blue Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 hey wahat are those really good bearings , like 10 needle rollers or sumthing. called TZ i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Yes you can run a TZ bearing on the clutch side, the Koyo part number is 70241-1 but they are kinda hard to find, and expensive. The other option besides stock is "max load" bearings, think they are 8-ball roller bearings but you might call TDR or Crank Works or Twister and see what they use, if you can find the bearing part number alot of times you can get 'em cheaper at a local bearing store (just make sure you get good quality bearings, not Chinese crap). Heh, and while you're at it might as well get that guy some more stickers for is ex, oughta be worth another 5hp, he'll need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
