Buy a flywheel puller (cheap, $10-15) and it will be very easy, unless your flywheel looks like the Titanic... :ohmy:

To the top! One hell of a bike and a great member to deal with... :thumbsup:

You are much better off dollar wise to find one close to what you want. Or at least a complete, running bike to custom build to suit your needs. I would think it will be very expensive to build one from scratch... It is expensive for me to build and customize a stocker into the duner I want. If I had to do it over, I would find a bike with a cub already done, like the 421 Bansh-eman has for sale... :thumbsup: For Sale

You had to turns bolts to install reeds! :woot: You are on the original bore that is 7 years old, I would get the port job and a new top-end with it. Your compression might still be within limits, but it would be advantageous to do them at the same time. Bigger carburetors would compliment a nice port job and CPIs... If $500 is the max, shave the stock head, timing plate, and lighten the flywheel for now, save the rest for the port work and top-end.

Ricky Stator should be a last resort...

That show was a joke...

THIS might be the one you are looking for.

Honda 450R/400EX/250R is 4/110mm and Banshee is 4/115mm. The '89 Banshee, and maybe some other years as well, is 4/156mm...

The SS112 looks better than the SS212... As for the pipes, both are great pipes, but are not designed for the same type of engine/power. Pipe choice depends on the type of riding and engine modifications...

Generally speaking, a stamped pipe is one that is mass-produced, and a non-stamped pipe is constructed with hand rolled cone sections. :geek: In this case, banshee24 is referring to the name label...

:yelrotflmao: You have no idea, let's just say you will have a permanent grin for about six months... :biggrin:

I know people who do not oil them, but I would not recommend it... :ermm:

I really like the stock tires for '88-'89 TRX250R... :thumbsup:

This has to be one of the coolest pictures I have ever seen! Talk about an exploded view... :cool:

:shrug: It does come with the stock exhaust...

Check the intakes for an air leak. Boost bottles are notorious for ripping intakes where the stand pipes meet the body. Move the boost bottle back and forth, it will be pretty obvious if the intakes are ripped. If one or both are sucking air, it could cause the increase in RPM...

Don't forget: What tires? What pipes? How many paddles? What is WOT? What is a Cub? I saw the 4-stroke banshee in Dirty Wheels... Those are classics as well. :yelrotflmao:

Jut send a life-sized cardboard cutout to the wedding. I am sure you could configure it with some sort of voice box. Use the guts from one of those talking picture cubes or something...

You are asking for opinions, so... I think those wheels would look ridiculous on a banshee. If you like them, run 'em, that is the only opinion that really matters. :cool:

You can run pump gas until you hit the 150-155 compression range with +4 timing. Beyond that, a race gas mixture will be required (or straight race depending on how high).

I wonder if the threaded rod is beyond the no-go hole in the barrel if the pedal is sitting that high...

I bet someone will buy Finding Nemo... :woot:

A banshee flywheel puller is only $15.00ish, I would just buy the correct tool. A TRX250R puller will work on a banshee as well, both are M27X1.0 LH external thread...

Those idle screws are very nice, but a little expensive. I might have to get some though, the plastics ones are a joke. :cool:

Call HJR, they will tell exactly what jetting you need, and more than likely it will close to spot-on (and if it is not, they will point you in the correct direction). Not saying that Dan doesn't know what he talking about, but HJR will know what is best since they are porting the cylinders. Toomey needles have six grooves, so the fourth groove is a good starting point with those needles...
