I always run a silencer in the dunes! Where are you riding? Every Banshee out there has T5's on it anyways and there silencers too. I run S/A at OHV parks and trail riding and that's it. Run it!!!!!!!!!! We ride out near the Nellis area north of Vegas, you don't have to have a S/A there yet, and a ...

A problem I had with them, was one the screen would clog up and the bike would run like garbage, also be bombing along get back to the truck and look to see it, and it had fallen off somewhere. Keep an eye on E-bay for a whole spark arrestor silencer or just save your beans and buy a new one. That ...

I don't have the cash right now, and I'm not sure how soo I would even need one. I still need to get the top end done, but I git a paddle for cheap and started looking into the dunes for something new. I'm not too worried about the noise, but I suppose if I get a ticket for it, I'll have to do somet...

thats older version of powercore. their about the loudest silencer on the market. i have the new version and its loud as hell but i dont have noise constraints :lol: I finally talked to FMF. It is a Powercore, no arrestor. They said the only option is to replace it with a Turbine Core that has the ...

That would suck.

Looks like a turbine core to me??? Post a pic of the inside. [/color] When I look down the end, there is nothing inside, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't have one. Is it possible to replace the end cap to get it arrested? I don't think anything I have ever owned has had a spark arrestor. It will say &...

My silencer has an FMF sticker, but I'm not sure that it is. I know that the head pipe is FMF though. I'm interested in getting a spark arrestor to ride at the dunes. Can anyone tell me if for sure this is an FMF pipe and where I can get an arrestor? I contacted FMF, but have not gotten a response y...

One of my friends picked up a crashed '03 CBR 600 and has decided to shoehorn the motor into a dirt frame to make some kind of crazy motard. Do any of you AF guys have a 500 '90 and up without a motor? he is near St. Louis, but said he may be willing to drive to get it.

What legal course of action could they really pursue?

Ill have to get some. I think I'm going to have to take everyone's advice, save up the money and just re-do the whole top end. Does anyone have any idea how much a sperm bank would pay?

dude, that piston is showing some nasty signs of blowby and possibly a worn bore. I would really bore it, the rings will be a waste of time... it get the ring to work you need to hone it like south central said and if you do...well... you are already pushing it on a worn out bore. sorry, but that t...

I finally got it all apart, it turned out to be a Vertex. I went to the shop by work to order some rings, but he can't get them. I think I ready somewhere that Vertex rings are interchangeable with OEM, but I'm not sure. I would prefer to use Vertex rings with the Vertex piston. Any idea where I ca...

I got the number for the piston that I have. My piston is still good, I just need the new rings. I'm going to check around again tomorrow and hopefully get a response from Vertex too.

I have the piston number, but I need the number for the rings or to find out if OEM rings can be used on it. It is a Vertex 2 ring design with 1183 on the inside of the skirt. I figure the guy that had the bike before me must have got a good deal on the Vertex since they stopped selling in the US. O...

I finally found a part number on the Vertex site. It is 22447100, but I think that is for the piston. Hopefully I hear something from them tomorrow.

Another thing I'm wondering is, should I some how try to get the residual black sludge out of the exhaust, or when I get it tuned right will it eventually clean itself out?

Here are the best pics I have for now.

" what is your compression? why did you tear it down? " It just doesn't seem to have to compression that it should. Kicks really easy in comparison to others. I know that I should do the whole top end to get the best performance, but I can't afford to do it all right now, but I still want ...

You are quick I think that I have a pic with the head off, maybe some from when the engine was split. How do I post a pic? I'll check the exhaust port post and see if I can recognize anything. I know that it is round.

I don't have the compression that I should have in comparison to other 500's. I checked the cylinder and the walls look decent. I can't afford to do the whole piston right now, so I'm going to try a fresh set of rings. 90.00 is stamped/engraved into the top of the piston. I think the previous owner ...

They have a warehouse operation up Lamb from Craig. Its right near my work. I'll have to stop in and see what I can find out.

I checked my PMs, but didn't find anything thing about a manual.

dannygraves wrote:because of your weight, you might want to try a thicker weight oil and maybe running a little more in the fork.

I wonder if AMSOil has something like 10wt?

dannygraves wrote:I use ATF in my forks its 7wt. whats your weight and riding style, use that to determine the weight and amount of oil to use.

I'm about 260. riding style isn't too crazy, no big jumps or anything.

Redrocket, I'll check my PMs. Thanks.
