Default any teenagers in here that work on their own quads?

Is there anyone in here that actually knows how to work on their quads? I put a top end in my shee about two months ago with a little help from my step dad and a clymer manual. I've installed pipes and changed out jets numerous times. I can change jets in like 15 mins now (mains anyway, needles take a little longer). I guess when you own a banshee though, it helps to be handy.

Installed Jet kit, Filter, Pipe and header. Played with the jetting myself, installed bars, and also me and my friend installed a Stage 2 hotcam in his Raptor. Not much, but I do what I can.

I have also changed out front sprockets and took a link out of my chain without a chain breaker. I have adjusted my floats and changed out a clutch cable.

I rebuilt my raptor tranny with someone watching me, so I guess you could say I had help. Since then I've done the smaller stuff alone: have had my Banshee top end apart for porting and new head, did a couple carb changes and messed with jetting on all 3 different carb setups, and I have it apart again right now, fixing the nothing that I thought was something.
