it really depends on what you want to do with it .we race with them alot ,for straightline racing on a dirt strip they are fun machines and they can be quick but in all honesty a properly setup 421 cub will take them down more often than not .sport bike hybrids like this require alot of time money and skills to switch them out atleast to do it the right way. the gearing is a key part that most guys dont get right .they can weigh 600 pounds and geared in such a way its difficult to get the most out of them on a short track.I would say for allaround fun and getting lots of stares they are pretty good setup if done right ..just dont expect to smoke everyone you go up against if* thats your goal .

namura are scrap ,use wiseco next time
-
i run EGN and like them better than DEK for alky
-
for most applications personally i would take the procircuits over the T5 .
-
i have ran them before..they look great a nice flow to the curves a nicely designed large chamber but they dont put out ..take my advise and avoid them .
-
well they had alot more free time since they quit at Trinity :yelrotflmao:
-
thats some good advise ,an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure concerning the dillema after your sure its(clutch /lockout) functioning properly seems i would be more focused on the tire selection/choice than i would the lockout adjustment ,on certian tracks the prowedges work killer but theres a good variety of other tires available that might remedy your problem and find a happy medium so your not breaking the wheels loose or bogging ..might be worth experimenting more in that area.

im in iraq and wife is cheating on me
flotek replied to southsyderyder513's topic in General Banshee Discussion
that sucks bro I had it happen to me several years ago ,except in my situation I was home doing the right thing (waiting alone and selibut for 700+ days )and she(army srgt.) was fooling around in Iraq with a marine boytoy the whole time only to leave our home for him as soon as she hit american soil much to my surprise .This was definitly a hidden blessing for me now that my eyes are clear .I have found if you do whats right things work out for the best and if he sees your on the wrong path, God is not afraid to put a tree right smack in your way to get you back on track .keep your head together ,read a bible and dont isolate yourself talk it out/over with friends .trust me your idle mind can be your own worst enemy).take care of yourself and stay safe. the right woman who is your real soulmate that you will later meet ,will need you in one piece and of sane mind . -
I have ran them in the past ,I did not like them ,poor lowend and peak fell off early for a topend style pipe ,a noticably narrow power curve . I would avoid them .

ill be praying for a speedy recovery for ya bro

ive torn alot of 2 strokes down and seen too much greenish unburnt sludge inside engines cases and transfers from guys running amsoil to consider it a good option .I guess it might be good oil products for trucks but i think the flash point is too high and the stuff wont burn off at lower rpms ,and it seems if a guy runs his jetting richer ,its even worse.Ill stic k to klotz technaplate where i can be assured of the castor protection at high rpm and clean burn of a synthetic.this has been my experiance yours may differ
-
yes they hook up awesome ,love them in the loose dirt ..heres some vids CLICKY
-
ahh,my bad...i apologize i was thinking of the 72mm blaster big bore pistons they sell like that ,had to get alot of these setup lately for spring
-
i see your point but to my understanding according to vitos the only forged pistons they sell are the super duper modifed ones with their pie cut .. now the other design like standard is the cheap cast versions that have "made in china" right on the bottom of the piston boxes
-
can you have too big of a squish clearance?
flotek replied to rtcc's topic in Banshee Repairs and Mods
.47 is almost a half inch ...i guess you must mean .047 and thats way to thick as it should be around .020 -.025 thick for a typical standard base gasket -
pc pipes are a great all around choice for a small motor and can really shine with the right porting
-
if a guy wanted the same performance effect as a power piston without the potential intake problems you would simply raise your exhaust ports .040 and run standard wiseco prolites
-
they are made by wiseco to vitos specs which sadly are fairly dangerous given they design them with extra large intake windows that crack and shatter on the bridge prematurely. they have a long histroy of this and youll find in a search on here that this is the main reason people wont run them also they will screw up your exhaust duration and blowdown timing on a port job with the pie cutting over the exhaust area .slighlty better response and 1-2 hp arent worth a new topend and possibly crank and cases too.ive dug them out of too many lower ends to think they are a good option over a standard prolite design .. my 2 cents
-
yes if done correctly it will be atleast noticable ,however its pretty archaic in stock form and porting has come along way since the late 60's/70's when the lc and rd twins came out ...the banshee needs alot more than a cleanup port if you want a wide strong powerband
-
new setup, cpi's and 28's mikunis with 4mill
flotek replied to extreem9's topic in Jetting & Exhaust Forum
agreed ,choking cfm down is no way to make power .if you want strong lowend response and torque there are better ways such as ignition timing ,compression, and correct porting -
looks like an old school trinity /wiseco ultra light piston
-
chec k out my thread on the new Kenda kutters in general section
-
i may do that down the road loco ...looks like plenty of spacing for my tastes for now but first i gotta see how they perform on my trail 350 ,ill give a full honest review once they are on and roosting surprisingly they arent as heavy as they look
-
