Moe.. it's a banshee... keep extra plugs on hand at all times... you'll foul alot of them.

Heck I buy them 20 at a time.

Do you have any pictures of your Banshee? I would like to see them, it sounds like a bada$$ machine. What would you say is the top speed? I was thinking of adding Toomey pipes to my Banshee, where is the biggest horsepower gain with these pipes? Tanks. Long live the Banshee!

I do have some pics of my banshee, but it's nothing special to look at. Every mod has been all go and no show. The toomeys are chromed, but thats it. Nothing special to look at, but damn does it run like a scolded dog! The top speed is probably around stock cause I've dropped a tooth on the front sprocket to try to offset my 280 pounds, so I lost some top end speed. I also mainly ride in the woods, so thats what it's set up for, lots of power all over the place. I'd love to get it out in the dunes... but we don't have any near us here in southern ohio... such is life.

I've been using the same plugs for over a year now. Never fouled any yet and I run a little rich to be on the safe side. But, I'm not stupid either I keep a spare set in the tool compartment.

I ride all weekend, like 5 to 8 hours a day of hard riding, for 3 or 4 days and I have to switch plugs. Seems to me my plugs only have about a 20 to 30 hour actaully usauge life. I always keep a set on the bike as spares. Nothing like fouling a plug 15 miles out and not having a spare.

This might seem like low usage, but then again I have high compression and run race gas, so I keep good plugs in it.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Yes I took pics when I bought it last Friday. This thing is a beast, no doubt! I'll keep the same mix, I'll just stock up on plugs. I know Banshees are known for fouling plugs, especially in the woods where I do my riding. Top speed and added power do to the mods I really couldn't answer since I've never riden a stock Banshee. I'll scan my pics as soon as I get them developed and I'll put them on the front page!!!! Thanks again.
