Kevin, over 10 years ago I brought you my banshee that was running crappy. You dune ported it and cleaned the carbs. When I picked it up " i said i already cleaned the carbs with carb cleaner". "You replied it was still blocked. You need to run a piece of wire through it." I still do it to this day, but i now use guitar string. Thanks for the tip!
Thats freakin saaawweeeet man!!! I'm getting so anxious to get my 521 together. Ordered pistons. Cylinders back from plate. No port work yet. 39mm pwks. Cpi In frames. Billet twister crank. Promod. Those shearers sound so nice btw!!! Thats the only video on RUclips of a 521 actually ripping it up you the man man
Can you build me one? I had a guy down here in Tucson build me one with a 4 mil and with a Athena set up 68’s. Toomy’s with a plus4 swing arm. I paid 8 grand for that quad and I don’t think it was worth my money.
@@herrjugsracing7816 the jetting is off or air leak. That top end is screaming lil to hard. But alot of thing i dont know about the bike like (fuel type,timing,jetting size, jetting needle length and position,carb size, air filter set up, cylinder size and port and gearing. Been building fixing tunning just yamaha banshee only since i was 13. Im 38 now and all i ride is at glamis.
@@DuneRiderLife I believe you are hearing the over rev. I'm holding the gear past peak power a lot in this video. As you know the power flattens out and then shortly after the motor will not climb in RPMs any longer. This is what I think makes it sound lean. I leak test every motor I build. The 521 was fat and I came down in jet size. The stock blue one did have a lean needle and I lowered the clip to up the needle. These are both good and back with the customers. I'm 53 now grew up in the desert and make a living at this but am always willing to listen to anyone who thinks they can do it better. You never know what you will learn and I don't claim to know it all.
You need to learn how to ride. It’s not just your jetting issues. You’re fouling your plugs constantly buy bogging it down. They are 2 strokes, not 4 strokes. By short shifting and not keeping your rpms up. You’re you’re running super fat and therefore, causing most of your build up issues with the jets. Open them up for a while. That’s how 2 strokes function and stay clean.

Your videos are really fun to watch.
Thanks, wish I had more time to make them.

Good luck!
@@herrjugsracing7816 where are to you located
The blue one looks awesome
The blue one is much more fun to ride in the dunes.
Badass! I just put an atheana big bore kit on my 98 banshee having trouble trying to figure out how to adjust the carburetors.
Very informative plus great video to boot!
Thanks!
Looks like soo much fun! The tips on jetting much appreciated! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
521 looks like a handful, as to be expected though
2 handfuls
Got 2, love those Banshee's. If I send my engine 2 you could you make it that fast?
Yep!
Awesome vid 🤙🏽🤙🏽👍🏼👍🏼‼
Thanks 👍
How many hours would you get out of a lightly modded pump gas motor that's not raced. Thanks
You can get 200+ out of it when taken care of. Ride it like this video all the time and get 100 hours out of it.
@@herrjugsracing7816 Sounds good!! Thanks and great content.👍🏻
@@herrjugsracing7816 how many hours should the pistons last in this type of riding and how often you change them
I recommend a torch tip cleaner instead they will save you time and there only 4 bucks
Thanks!

Should be easy to get power out of that setup. Just a port and tune away.
Where are you out of . I need some serious motor work done on my Banshee

I think that 521 needs more paddle.
Ya that's my bike it has 20" .. I think I'm gonna get 22"
@@austenpadilla7852 22 14 paddles should do it
14 scoop even though I'm duning it?
That bike makes what like 120hp?
Yes about that
What's the run time with the 521 with that desert tank?
At video time just a a couple tanks.
I meant how long can you ride on a full desert tank with the 521? Does it really suck a ton more gas than a modified 350
@@kevbot5.0keller66 Oh and how! If it is a rider like the one in the video a big 5 gallon tank is a must. You will get a few hours out of it.
Thank you
They both are running lean.
How do you figure that?
