    Axle lock nut removal

    LOL, thanks man. Like I said, they're bastards enough without wasting energy going the wrong way. Hopefully mine arent as bad as the ones I did on the trx. There was litterally nothing but metal shavings on the sprocket side and the outer bearing case had to be cut to remove it. Not fun. Thanks...

    Axle lock nut removal

    Simple question for you guys... gotta do axle bearings in the 94 (98 too actually but 94 is by far the worst after this past weekends riding...) and was hoping you guys could save me a few minutes of my time. Are the locknuts on the rear axle threaded normally or are they left hand thread? My...

    how much am I worth?

    Id say a thousand. Keep in mind, you very rarely, if ever get back what you put in. Think its bad with four wheelers, try putting ten thousand into a car and only being able to get half back for it. I see it all the time in my business. Just the way it is. Good luck with the sale.

    Rebuilt the top end but the engines still knocking

    Guess I was spoiled by the 94, because she doesn't have nearly as noticeable a "rattle." Oh well, one less thing to worry about I guess. Glas I did some research. Thanks again.

    Rebuilt the top end but the engines still knocking

    Forgive me for bringing this post back from the graveyard, but the 98 has one more "problem" Im trying to solve... or at least I thought it was problem before I saw this post. The engine at idle has a knocking / rattle that I thought was out of the ordinary since my 94 you barely hear it, if at...

    anybody near douglas?

    Not bad. Are the woods open around there or is that someone elses land? Im definitely down to go, just waiting to get both quads up and running how I want them. The 94 is just about done, just need to mount the 400 EX rear shock and eliminate the oil injection. The 98 needs to be tuned, need to...

    Banshee front hydro swap question

    Awk, did you ever take a look at yours and see where the splitter is mounted? I think I have an idea for it but I always value a second opinion. Especially from someone in the know. Theres definitely no way it will mount in the factory cable splitter location. Rubber line is way too short. The...

    Banshee front hydro swap question

    Im talking about the rubber line that comes from the handle / rez and terminates in the splitter where the hard lines come out of to each caliper soft line. I only mounted up the handle tonight and then left my shop so I may have just not looked at it long enough but it seems like the rubber...

    Banshee front hydro swap question

    Alright so Im in the middle of swapping out the drums for a Banshee front hydro setup. Got the handle/res , calipers and lines off of Ebay as a package, same thing with the front rotors / hubs and my Norman conversion spindles will be here tomorrow. My question is the rubber line that comes with...

    anybody near douglas?

    That might be worth checking out some time when you go again. I have the 94 torn apart right now, replacing the A - Arm bushings, made my own upper and lower shock bushings out of Moog sway bar link bushings I had in my shop, and getting the front brakes ready to be swapped over to the Banshee...

    Yeah that looks pretty nice. Where exactly is that? And someone actually owns that?? Do you have to ride with the owener, etc?

    anybody near douglas?

    Hope your ride turned out better than ours. We were on the trails for about three hours when we went by a lake where we could see a good ways to where the truck and trailer were parked. Low and behold, theres a DEP truck parked near our trailer and then driving up and down the road waiting for...

    Need help

    If you do a search on my posts, I had the same exact problem on the 98 I just bought. Turned out the throttle switch would kill it cuz the TORS was shot. I disconnected the TORS brain box and then disconnected that switch and it idles fine now.

    Still wont idle, any tips before I send it to a shop

    Thanks, man. Yeah it's definitely nice to be able to start it and have it run on its own. Just got to figure out the clutch issue now and she'll be pretty much good to go. I think its just the plates sticking from sitting too long. Took off the cover and I had to really pry with my fingers to...

    Still wont idle, any tips before I send it to a shop

    PROGRESS UPDATE = Well I finally managed to get it running and idleing fine. Even starts on the first kick every time. I:I Thanks to all the tips and suggestions. It turned out to be the throttle switch that was killing it. Thats why it would stay running fine just into the throttle because...

    Still wont idle, any tips before I send it to a shop

    Going to go unplug the throttle switch everyone is talking about and hopefully that will help my cause. If not, I think my last resort will be shipping her out. Thanks for all the help guys. Hopefully Ill have some good news to report back

    Still wont idle, any tips before I send it to a shop

    Yes, I tapped the carb and added the idle screw... I no longer have the TORS unit itself but I did not touch the "brain" under the hood as Ive heard it called. Didnt disconnect any switch in the throttle box either, I was under the impression I didnt have to when using the actual eliminator kit...

    Still wont idle, any tips before I send it to a shop

    Alright, so I got another Blaster free in trade. Previous owner didnt give me much info on the bike, other than saying it wouldnt start. Kicked it over a bunch of times and nothing. Just for hte hell of it, kicked it over with the throttle in a little and it fired right up. Let off the throttle...

    anybody near douglas?

    Let me know how it goes. Were probably just going to hit the trails closer to my house this weekend since the trailer we have wont fit all the quads on it.
