[Remove every-other knob work for more stock setups?]

yeah with wellsville your gonna get flats from the rocks no way around it.some beadlocks might help keep your tire on the rim when it cartwheels down a hill,seriously.i would definately drop a tooth on the counter if you go with 22s.depending on the tire thats a big jump in weight for just a inch in clearance.hill climbing is a experience type deal,most people have found set ups over the yrs that work for them and not everyone else

[rear shock]

old post but i have heard of people using 660 shock on rear of banshee.might not be ideal but itll work until a more suitable replacement is found lol

[Thinking about banshee]

old post but i have seen fast guys run the banshees in the woods back in the day.Curtis Crump owns the track in these parts.Kim Kuhnle(?) also competed with a banshee back in the day.just because 450s are out doesnt change the effectivness of a well set up woods shee.might not be perfect option for everyone but us ol timers like smokers

[athena big bore kit?]

those cylinders rip once you get them set up.i had a banshee with those and a set of sst pipes.ran damn good imo

[my YFZ450 a-arm install]

anybody ever come up with alternative shocks other than the yfz or 700 rappy?

[Passion Racing out of business?]

thats sucks.sounds like a bunch of BS either way.a call or something would be nice.better get you another set of cylinders.Stop sending stuff out to "builders".My hobby my labor.Why pay some yo yo to mess up your cylinders?All so called builders learned some how.Aint no banshee porting school.Learn a little bit.Thats one of the problem of todays youth.People that never messed anything up never did anything.hopefully you hear something either way..

[trans fluid]

i thought only us older guys use atf fluid in tranny?Usually the newer generation wont run it if their builder or "baldwin" or race team in "atv rider" says  too.lol

[392cc Athena kit.]

yeah super old post but i can give my opinion on these first hand.These cylinder rock for the money.Lots of midrange.im sure a cub set up will lay down more peak power and what not but if your into actrual riding and hill climbing and not just draggin then these will fit the bill to the "average' rider.No im not some kid 41 yrs of age and been into banshees for 20 yrs or more.The athena set up is a lot more rdieable than a hogged out stockers with drag porting.Obviously getting a set of stockers trail ported will be cheaper but if one sprang for the whole kit i wouldnt call it a waste of money.plus the nickasil coating will last longer than a steel bore.just shedding a little insight on what i have seen and experienced not what i read on the "internet".While theres a plethora of good info online theres also just as much bullsh** as well lol got fmf fatties and single carb on my athena set up..perfect for my riding.will pull 15t gearing with 20in razr rears

[Vitos superstock vs Wiseco]

go with the coolhead or have yours shaved.most bang for the buck is compression.appears to be lots of experts on here...lol

[Keep throwing the chain]

yesh the later hub will fit.did it myself

[35 pwk jetting kind of weird.]

Flowtek is a stand up guy.It just seems that sometimes builders are chosen by popularity contests.Half of these so called banshee experts were nowhere to be found in the lates 80s or early 90s.Having a porting program doesnt make a tuner a good builder.A porting tool and a 12pk anybody can build a high rpm screamer.Every other month somebody is raving about someones new pipes or tuning on the forums blah blah.theres no banshee acc redited institution for performance,everybody learned from trial and error be it banshee zilla 250r etc..sorry for ranting...lol

[pro circuit exhaust question]

having tried prolly dozens of pipes through the yrs im on my 3rd set of pc pipes.For trail or hill climbing what have you i think they r a solid performing pipe.I guess they could be described as similar to a fmf fatty but a bit more hit in the mid imo.They rock on stock or mildly ported cylinders.never had a set on anything set up for drag..

[Bamshee bogging on high rpm]

I raised the needle up all the way and it still doing the same thing. I'm going to install a pvl ignition soon and see if its my stock ignition. Thanks for the reply.

prolly rich....

[carbs issues]

could be rich on the main.make sure you do 1 thing at a time.if you go changing things for the sake of changing or just stabbing in the dark you can spend forever chasing your tail.I had a banshee with the single carb set up do thae bog then hit like a ton of bricks.tried needles and clips positions and finally it seemed like i was back to jetting i already tried previously and it was fine ever since...go figure.If you arent prepared to tinker you cant own a banshee and mod it

[carbs issues]

The is the setup t5's cascade silencer stock carbs 300 mains not sure on pilots uni pod filter. Okay bike will only run idle when choke is pulled out, I push choke in an bike act like its leaning out and shuts off. Also if choke is push in bike will not start. What do I need to do guys to get this thing to idle its me ole lady bike an she ready to ride, and race.

 

 

if it only idles with choke thats a dead give away ur lean on the pilot....usually.but banshees can be strange animals sometimes.make sure that crossover tube is in place between the 2 carbs and not cracked.check for air leaks in carb boots etc.

[FMF Gnarly Pipes]

I think pro circuit is a great pipe for trail riding. They come on low enough that you don't have to be on the clutch all the time but still pull pretty good right to the top.

 

 

i agree.pc will be my next pipe ...again.i liked the pc better than my t5s i had on my last banshee.If you like max hp up top get t5s,but since i dont ride dynos i

like the other options suchs as pcs..

[FMF Gnarly Pipes]

mine came with some gnarlys and pj 34mm carbs with a mild port.you will pick up some more mid to top with another set of pipes but if you trail ride youll miss the low end.most people "think" they need top end when a good low to mid motor will have you faster point a to b.Now we all know a banshee is the most fun up top and thats where its at BUT thats not the easiest to ride in woods.So if you do pick up another set of pipes youll prolly see bigger gains.I may put my gnarlys back on cuz they r almost new and nice and shiny.i had some old fmf gold series from yrs ago i threw on for riding.They have more top end but i think the gnarlys "HIT" more in the middle.sorry for ramblin..

[34 PJ help]

did the drag chassis have clamp on "pod" filters or a air box?if ur going from pods to stock airbox youll have to rejet...

[rocket pipes]

In before some moron says to buy shearers.

 

 

whats wrong with shearers?there are lots of good pipes out there for the banshee.just want something different.considering sheares if i cant find rockets...lol

[Custom Pipe Covers & Bumpers]

i swear people will put anything out there to make a buck,that looks like garbage...

[rocket pipes]

Where can i purchase some rocket pipes?Only place i have seen them was on ebay at motor city atv or whatever.I read on here awhile ago that his price was too high.hes bending people over with those prices lol.Had t5s on my last banshee and i was happy but everybody and they momma have t5s i want to switch it up a bit.

[2004 400ex. Monongahela Pa, FS/FT]

u could have had a banshee years ago

[Tors Removal Tips]

Throttle overide system. its designed to kill the ignition should the driver come across a "stuck" throttle situation

[Squish]

spark plug method has been workin all these yrs.banshee motors arent exactly high tech.not building airplane engines.so what if its pl opr minus .000000000001.thats the equivalient of reading to different calipers.

[100hp?]

too much of a good thing isnt really a plus in the wrong enviroment...fun for the slag pits though
