Im still planning on making it up on the 8th. I need to get a babysitter, and get payment, but the guy usually pays me on time. this is my banshee as it is now. I need to replace a ring in one cyl..... I may end up selling it off, parting it out to work up the 450 tho.

sound like some pretty nice bikes.

If your compressions isnt low enough, why even bother. getting new pistons doesnt always matter the condition of the piston, more so the cylinder itself. If you are just needing a light hone, then just re ring it. If th ecompression was low, then it may need bored to a bigger size thus needing bigger pistons.

Im one of the resident assholes. Im not saying hello and being nice unless you have titties! :ninja:

so what about your ride?

high displacement/tall stroke, powervalves, low/mid pipes, compression, timing advance.

did you change anything other than just putting new pistons in it since teardown? did you actually read 185psi or is that just a chart number?

it might not be where you actually want to go. but you should be able to reach mid/high 500cc`s with some big bore cylinders. you can have the cases cut to fit a larger crank. If you want a lower end power as well, a powervalve cheetah cylinder would help. with a larger displacement, a typical low/mid rated pipe is going to choke your motor. you should talk with a builder and discuss what you might really want and not what you think you want,... which might not actually be what you want,.... or something.

IDK about the tires yet. Both quads have nerfs, I have a tether, helmet, goggles, gloves, need new gear though, but thats all a given. my 450 is a yfz. If you have a sure buyer on the tires, let them take em, cos Im not sure yet, If they have a knobby class, I might just run that.

as long as in between we take breaks hold hands, sing songs and skip gee golly swell stones across a lake together while sipping a cold odoules brewski!!!!

any bigger than a 28mm, the intake boots will be really tight. they will fit though if you really mash em in there. I have TM 34mm`s on my quad with stock boots. the filters will also be larger on these than 26-28mm stock or tm carbs. If you want an easy proper fit, you can find the correct size boots. you will need a pretty thick reed spacer as well, or the bowl will hit your clutch actuating lever on that side. The spacers with raise the level of the carbs.

yes, cos Im fighting to bring the retail sales of the banshee back to the u.s. this will cut down emmisions and keep treehuggers happy :cool:

my 450 is piped/jetted, lid off proflow, amr cdi, and thats about it. +2 in front stock shocks. figured it would suffice a TT race. I just dont want to show up on a nearly stock bike and get stomped, but I imagine its a tighter course and like you said, more skill than hp. the rear is stock width, but I have some spacers i can make it +4 and another +1 with the hipers off the banshee. They have a shallower offset to the hub. my banshee is loaded. 4mm passion 12port rz motor, 34mm carbs, rockets, -2 swinger, +3 arms in front +4 axle, semi squated. basically, had I a stablizer in front it be a great flattrack quad. Very stable on high speed turns. Prob a bit much power for a tight track TT race. My rear wheels are hipers, but Im pretty sure they are 9". Ive pretty much made up my mind to come up on the 8th. If I get the banshee up to par in time, I want to put it out there for sure as well on the 22nd.

this is pretty retarded.

I save all my grease from the deep fryer, burgers, and bacon in a jar. it takes a few minutes to warm up from a moist white jell, but its cheap. :thumbsup:

imo, your best bet with an unported motor for optimum gains w/o losing bottom end would be get a 28mm flatslide.

why not a 450 instead?

sounds lean or could be clutch slipping,.... or both.

No Doubt. On the 8th, all I will have available is my 450. how highly modified are the other 450`s typically at these TT races? I should have my banshee ready for the 22nd flattrack tho, which is great for these races. I need to get some tires too. I will def pm ya for which ever or both.

I have a ported 4mm motor with just a billet basket and it shifts just fine. well, not fine,... like any other typical banshee I should say.

I will def make it to at least one of these. Thanks for the post! I seen it on yfz central too :thumbsup:

maybe crank position sensor? or starter relay?

any good machine shop should be able to repair/replace em, but they have to be re port matched. LA sleeve is a place to get sleeves. If your goin to do that, might as well put in some 68mm`s

might get more attention putting this up in the sale section
