Bikeatrol Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) I grew up on three and four wheelers and had a 1999 banshee years ago and loved it. Eventually, some friends of mine convinced me that I was missing out because I didn't ride on two wheels like all of them so I sold it and picked up a nice YZ426. I rode it for a couple of years and had fun, but was never as comfortable as I was on four wheels. Soooooooooooooooo...... here's what I brought home a couple of months ago. 2006 50th Anniv. Edition I rode it in circles in the driveway for about ten minutes with my son (not exactly a proper break-in), then I parked it and started spending money on it! So far I've added/changed the following: Toomey TR6 pipes (Thanks RagunCajun) Toomey 2:1 intake w/outerwear Air box removal Relocated coolant overflow Dynojet jet kit (waste of money) I only used the needles. 310 mains 27.5 pilots 1.5 turns out T.O.R.S. removal kit Idle screw kit Clear radiator lines (not too sure how well they will hold up) Race cut fenders Skat Trak 8 paddle extreme haulers More to come... I left my 99 completely stock and enjoyed the hell out of it. Hopefully, I'll see a fair improvement over stock with these mods. I haven't done a plug chop yet, but will as soon as I have the time. I am hoping that I am right on with the jetting. I did my homework on that and think I'll be pretty close. I really debated cutting my brand new fenders. I think it looks good now that it's dne. Now, If I could just find time to ride! Any suggestions as to what should come next? I have a habit of spending a WHOLE LOT more time modding than riding. Don't even get me started on my wife's Rhino or the toy hauler. I can't even recall how many hours I've spent doing whatever to those!! Oh well, I guess as long as this is all I'm addicted to, I'm good........ right??? :biggrin: Edited July 9, 2007 by Bikeatrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I guess as long as this is all I'm addicted to, I'm good........ right??? :biggrin: Well, you're not doing badly....but you're slacking a little. ;-) Have had my current one (first one I've really owned since my 409cc '88 the I sold in 1992) for 2 1/2 weeks now. So far: --Pro Circuit pipes --V3 Reeds --Renthal Bars --Noss Head w/ 21cc domes --TORS removal --(insert carb tuning here and take up 5 lines to make it look longer) --Tether kill --YFZ Front end setup --Lockup Clutch (Modquad) --Adjustable timing plate --K&N/billet filter setup --extra 2-into-1 Motofast pipe setup spare --SS brake lines --Tires and wheels --Alumilite nerfs --Billet Case Saver --New controls (brake/clutch) This coming week should add: --+2 axle and aftermarket carrier --porting I'm just anxious for this winter so I can pull it apart and do some serious mods.

first-banshee Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'll take it. Not sure exactly what advancing the timing does, but I'll try it. Send me a PM with your info and I'll mail you a check. Thanks just my 2 cents, but while you have your flywheel off i'd send it out & get it lightened, usually $40-60 bucks, I agree with the timing advance. I have a new set of vf3's if youre interested, pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
