Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Wal-Mart, for my dog. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant? Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I...

Usually if it's not the float set too high or sticking, it's the jet seat. In a pinch you can gently fix it with a drill bit but, I recommend getting a new one. During all the jossling of riding and transport, the jet rubs against the soft brass and cuts a lip into it.

I tried to post in the wanted section but it wouldn't let me for some reason. I need a rear grab bar and some front fender supports.

Yup. Just ran the piss out of it, in one gear! The piston is in a paper cup, it's mostly little bits and powder.

Friend of mine built a Banshee for a guy who has no knowledge of anything but wanted the baddest Banshee to ride. The guy ran a few tanks of fuel through it and took it to the flat track races. He let one of his friends take a lap and apparently the guy doesn't know how to shift. This is...

I agree, that thing sounds really crisp. I've avoided the Banshee because it takes twice the components but I may reconsider. One thing I overlooked though, it's probably a smooth power unlike a single cylinder big bore.

Give me some directions to this place. I live in Mt Airy.

I LOVE this place! I shot a ton of helmet cam footage and it's going to take a while to process all of it. btw=They fed us all for free. BBQ pork, venison, collard greens and black eyed peas, bunch of other stuff. It was wet and there were a lot of places we couldn't reach but hey, no dust...

The weather is supposed to be great, 64 degrees and a slight chance of rain late in the afternoon. Me and my buddy are goin today for the first time to check the place out. The blaster isn't right yet so we're takin some 2 wheelers. I'll get some helmet cam footage and post it up asap. Tony...

Got a replacement Namura piston in and it's not like the OEM model. It's got higher intake windows, reinforced crown, and a place milled on the exhaust side of the crown that advances the exhaust. Anybody ever seen one or used one before? We cleaned up the ports on the cylinder and after bead...

Thanks Otis, that was pretty much what I was looking for. btw-59? Who's jumping that quad in your sig? Just messin with ya. I'm 53, my bud Jimmy is about the same and Sam is the old timer at 55. My eyes won't focus anymore if I run across whoops or stutterbumps.

I promised some pics and you guys seem to live on them so I thought I'd better get it done. It's really nasty here right now but it occurred to me that I copied the craigslist pics when it was for sale. http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff387/TonyHarrell/DSC_0004.jpg...

I've been the victim of thieves several times. I finally found a way to get the pissed feeling out of my system. Here's what I do. I'm a landscaper so I have a ton of stuff on my trailer that's irresitable to thieves but it's all locked down, except a gas can prominently placed. It's 3/4 water...

Went to the Yamaha shop yesterday to get some jets. From what I've read on here I bought 270,280,290 and 300 jets. FMF Fatty, K&N filter, air box lid removed. Started with the fat one first and didn't go anywhere else. Runs like a top with a 300. Didn't do any plug chops because we had too...

I would get you some today but it's at my buddys shop across town. If he doesn't go hunting friday I can get some pics.
