She should run nice and cool with that monster LTR radiator!
Yeah hopefully it will. A lot of the 2 strokes fade bad at the nationals, especially the apex's due to heat exhaustion. Go from 170lbs of compression at the beginning of practice to about 55-70lbs tops at the end of qualifying.... rings rings rings and more rings.
That looks slicker'n owl chit!!!
Now post up a picture of the lowered banshee and the Tecate behind it
LOL
FOR SALE: 3800$ Bottom Dollar!
99 Banshee, 4mil stroker motor, ported/polished, 34mm Mikuni flat slides, Grand River Drag Pipes, Cool Head 17cc domes, Boost ported pistons, 6 passes on engine since rebuilt from bottom to top. 4.40's 300ft of dirt(not plowed) 7.60-70's in 1/8th mile asphault.
Ok I can't find the wiring harness to this thing anywhere.... Anybody want to share some input on how to build one? Will my old 250 one work? All i have is the 4 wires coming out of the stator.
It's wired for sound but no spark at coil wire with plug boot off. No lights so i just taped the Y/R tracer wire from stator up and wired in teather kill switch and grounded everything good. What normally goes bad Stator, CDI, or Coil?
Ditched the stator. Mounted a nice shiny motoplat mini-flywheel with a timing advance/retard plate 17 degrees either way. I'll find some hidden power one way or another lol. Maybe have pics of it tomorrow. Just have to wait til one of my buddies with a smart phone comes over. Someone jacked my camera last year at a race and my phone's camera sucks donkey balls.
She got fire yet???
And nice shee!! Now what about the green machine behind it with the tripples dropped way down on the forks?
??
86 Tecate 3 in mint condition besides frame being roughed up in areas. Was daddy's pride and joy but the engine got stolen from my papaws shop a few years ago where we had it stored because we had ran out of room and it was locking up so daddy took it off and had it in a box with a new rod kit and milled head. They got it, my 04 YFZ motor that had locked up, 3 good 250R motors, one with a 310 Rotax Powervalve cylinder, 77 Ford F150(maybe F100?) and a
**** ton of other metal objects and took them straight to the scrap yard. The Tecate 3 motor went low 8.00's during the heat of the day and 7.80-90's at night on alcohol. His feelings were hurt so bad..... he don't do anything but cuss everytime he looks at it. "Buncha GD thieving, non working, sorry mf'n,
**** ass crooks done stole my
****!" About his exact owrds everytime someone new comes to the shop and asks about it. Then it's followed by, "want to sell it?" And then, "I'd rather burn this whole place down with you in it than answer that." My dad gets attached to his toys!
She got fire yet???
Sorry forgot that one, but yeah it should, going to dig through the 50,000 toats of parts we have to find the right coil and CDI for the motoplat unit tomorrow so I dont have to splice new stuff in, but it ran great last time we used it!

Some folks just don't have a filter!!! I'd feel the same way man!
Cranked it today. Didn't get to ride it, don't have a clutch cable for it yet and they clutch fibers need replaced but I'm impressed. Retarded the timing 6 degrees and placed a tach on the coil wire and she revved to 14k and got there extremely quick. Couldn't get the Lectron to idle or rev without a hesitation so guess what she got? Yep, 38mm flat slide Mikuni with 300 main jet. Idles,revs, ROARS like a LION! Downside..... when i pulled the teather the first time it shot fire through the end cap of it about a foot to my hand and put me on my ass. Anyone know why?
There is no way a 500 is revving to 14k.
13,8-- on the tach so i round it up. Not saying the tach is accurate, not say it's not either. Motor isn't stock. Pro lite piston with skirt trimmed about as much as possible, boost ported also. Motoplat Ignition system tha doesnt use a CDI box, just a coil, mini flywheel, and a timinig plate, BR7es plug. Like I said though, the tach may or may not be accurate i'm just stating what it read. No reason to lie about it. I couldn't care less what it said as long as it runs good.
I have the "big" version of that ignition system for my 76 Penton. I love the looks on people's faces when they don't see a CDI or points LOL I also like how extremely adjustable the timing is!!!! The Penton has 3 different plates that can be adjusted to advance/retard fire. Mine doesn't have the mini flywheel. It's still STUPID light though.
You may not have a good ground on your ground side of the tether. That could cause it to shoot you lol
I say your tach is messed up. Some of the best Zillas are only going past 8000 range. Then other fall off before 8,000.

I'll take that a lot easier than a straight bash. I did some digging around for some info on the tach and they don't have many good reviews at all and dad said it read awful high on my little brothers apex too. Somewhere close to 10k and had a delay to it, like it climbed on decel instead of right when you rev it but it didn't have the lag on the 500 motor.
It doesn't say on it anywhere but it looks like a works connection.... not the hour meter and tach one it's just a tach only.
