Hey Geoff,On my 04 shee (see sig) I run 13/42 gearing with the 22-11-10 8 paddles and it turns them just fine.Its actually pretty fast with them.I have a vidio of that banshee in the vid thread Tittled my 04 banshee banshee hill in OR.That will give you an idea of how yours will run with that size tire and 13/42 gearing.
The reason I went with 14/42 is for the 1/8 mile.If I went to a 17/42 it would slow down in the 1/8 mile.If I was racing the full 1/4 mile I would have ran 16/40 gearing.
The coolent resivor is under the seat and the radiater is under the grill.Your banshee may not of over heated at all.If the coolent in the resovior is to high it will push out the exses coolent and the hose for the over flow is above the pipe on the right side.Banshees like to run at the low mark in the overflow bottle anything more and they push it out.
Hey dajogejr,I went from 360's down to 250 mains on mine,These cylinders are that much more afficiant(spelled way wrong)I was learry at first to but solved my problems,I went back up to 270 mains and it's to rich again.
