Any chance to get some pictures of it cleaned up? Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2

Hey thanks for the offer. Not looking for BBcylinders. Thanks though!

Looking for a preferably trail/mx ported set of jugs with pistons, ready to bolt on. Need something fast so will consider any type of port job. Thanks!

I'm running a cfm air box. Thinking of switching over to dmc Aliens instead of my fmf sst's. Would like to know if anyone has had trouble with the aliens and cfm air box combo.

I'll do $75 + shipping for just the tank/radiator plastics + grill.

Got some pictures? How are the splines on them

Let me know what ya got! Live in Canada so be prepared to ship up here. Thanks

How did the cylinders run? What bore are they at? How much for the jugs/pistons?

Any port work done to cylinders?

How about 30 + shipping for the rear hubs?

Interested in the CFM Air Box/KN Filters. PM Sent

Its a good idea to rebuild the bottom end if you really messed up the top end. Gotta get all those little chunks out as said above. If you don't have any deep scratches,gouges, or chips taken out of the cylinder wall, and aren't at your maximum bore (66.50mm) you will be able to bore your current cylinders without resleeving. Best bet would be send the jugs out to a site sponsor like fast, hjr, or wildcard and get it bored and buy all your parts from them. Porting is done by a builder. It is your best bang for your buck. If you are riding a stock engine and want more power I would get it ported. A builder can port a motor to perform however you prefer. Lots of top end/mid range/low end. Even if you buy an athena or cub kit, ideally you would still want to spend the money to get it ported to your specific tastes. Yes, you can just get your top end ported with no modification to your bottom end or crank. If I was you I wouldnt spend the money on new cylinders, if you can get away with it, and get your top end built by a sponsor. Then you can also use the money you saved from the big bore cylinders and spend it on the bottom end. Might as well do it right from the get go and you won't have to worry. Get in touch with a site sponsor and they can really steer you in the right direction.

It dosnt take much to lose a pound a minute. Seal up your exhaust plug and try again.

Double check your intake and exhaust plugs. If you know they are good it could be either clutch or flywheel side. Could start with flywheel so you dont have to drain coolant and oil.

How bad is the top end? You sure you cant just rebore the cylinders and buy new pistons?

No problem. Good to hear you found the problem, You should probably rebuild the bottom end if the piston was that chewed up. That is if your going to fix it.

Check for spark, check compression(should be around 125psi stock), clean carbs and air filter, make sure you have no air leaks. If it has compression, good chance the carb just needs a good cleaning.

Dosnt take a rocket scientist to see that rod smashed through the wrong side of the skirt.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I don't really have any complaints with mine either. I've got works triple rates with remote rezies and laegers arms. Just saying its never gonna be close to a yfz450 or trx450.

I've got +1 arms on my quad and do nothing but trail ride. My front end is about 45.5" wide. To be honest I wish I had +2 arms. Ive never once had a problem with being to wide to fit through trees. Most 4x4 quads around here are closer to 48" so as long as I am under that I should be more then fine. I've got some pictures somewhere I will try and dig up for you.

Even with +2 as the banshee won't come close to any of the new 450's in handling. The bad handling on the Banshee comes from a poor frame design. If you look at the new 450's you will notice the a-arms attatch to the frame a lot closer together. This is the main reason for the poor handling.

How much for a complete top end?
