KTM chassis/banshee engine hybrid


Recommended Posts

I'm in the early stages of this build and looking for some input, with the sprockets lined up together it makes the cylinders and carbs off centre with the frame but the kick start and gear shifter shafts seem to have good placement as well in this position, would it be more important to have the cylinders centred and use an offset sprocket?

Pics show how the engine sits with sprockets lined up.accb13c2620664e82ae53c4951d4103e.jpg075eb659a8b3ef0233fc836b2c2fbd65.jpg568a52fe3f0a4f51841c40098b476628.jpg67945bc5973e5ddd979b8ae7d40d7568.jpg1ad6489d01e12450f57c0a9c280ca314.jpg052fe19bea844adfede1c5741bb21004.jpg3c30188e69ba87d81f4422ba1c8aecda.jpg0fdef362bc8c307049d4fbd2c30fa31e.jpg9060aef9e5e7b06610adae38b4affd5c.jpg

It would he more important to make sure it is balanced and you have room for the exhaust.

That's what I'm wondering about (side to side) which way it would be better balanced, I'm not sure how the engine sits in a banshee frame and it seems the clutch side of this engine sticks out quite a bit, I know I will need to cut out the 2 diagonal pieces of the frame to make room for the exhaust.

Get custom pipes made to work around the frame im pretty sure any off the two stroke pipe builders can make it work but sweet build very different.i havent seen a ktm with a banshee motor in it,I have seen a ktm quad with a ktm dirtbike motor.keep your build pics and info coming.

Good chance I might get LED to do the pipes, they built me a KTM with trx250r and puma 431 big bore already but cost me a lot of cash and I'm in Canada and the exchange rate isn't what it used to be lol plus I had to go pick it up and bring it back when it was done and didn't have good luck at the border crossing lol I'm gonna have this one built locally besides the pipes, also wanna run smartcarbs, not sure what engine setup to use yet :s441546c3b773dcabdd8dfc74823ef2c7.jpg3af2ed3511c2c131d61b0fa5f62d2016.jpg
