Yes, a mid-4 second quad is fast. My bike would run in the 4.6's if I had an extended swingarm and an override tranny. There are just some things that I will not do to my Banshee. I ride my Banshee.

I am seriously thinking about selling my Banshee and getting a 4 stroke. Probably a 400ex. I went to Land Between the Lakes and really enjoyed riding the trails. Maybe it is time for a change of pace.

And CJM660, if you want to be serious about going fast in a straight line, check out Crankenstein in the Dunes & Dune Machines section. That was awesome. Jeff, that is definitely what you need!

Hey Daren420
I talked to Chris at Pauls Cycles today. They said that there LT500 ran a 8 flat at Benton Friday. Sounds like we're going to have to tune up some. Let me know when your going again. I just about got my 500 jetted in.Now I just need to break it in some.

Hey Jeff,

Laddie was at Benton Friday. He told me that there were some quads running in the 8.4 second range. He would have told me had someone run in the 8.0 second bracket. I plan on going this Friday, if I'm off work. I never know until the last minute.

I'm going to make a gearing change, adjust the timing and get the tires ready. All I need is a wheelie bar to really get my times down. My 60' times on sand are 1.7 seconds and so far at Benton 2.1 seconds. All these guys better beat me now, because they might not get the chance next year. LOL.

Isn't that the white 500 that Faron and I smoked at Poplar Bluff?
I'll let you know about Friday.

Jay, are you game for this Friday?

Chris said that they ran every where from 8.60s to the best 8.0s . He said it all depended on how well they got off the line.

Yes its is the white 500. I think they made some changes.

Let me know as soon as you know if you are going. I'll see if they are going too.

I just got back from Pauls Cycle and got their time slip. Their LT500 ran a 8.097.

They are planing to go back this Friday. 5-17-02

I got my 500 going now so me and the wife will be there.

Looks like there will be some comp this week.

Faron has to work this week end.

Daren let me know if you get to go Fri.

J Ross

 

If I don't have to work, I will be there. Not a very good answer, I know.

I found out some info today. I am going to try some changes and see how things work out.

What has changed on that 500? That is an impressive time. Are they running a wheely bar or anything like that? I guess that I will have to break down and make one for mine if I want it to run its potential.
