    Posted · Edited by KickStartMyHeart

    sounds good.I would cut your head some,depending on if you want to run race gas or not.Get some pods and jet accordingly.You will keep upgrading,trust me.Never enough H.P.cool.gif

     

     

    I would like to stay on pumpgas just because its a hella lot cheaper. What are "pods"? and yes I'll have to rejet it. I'm good friends with the owner of the yamaha dealership in town and they have a dyno, so I'll prolly throw it on the dyno to get it mapped and tuned properly. How much HP just guessing, do you think I'll have at that point with a dune/play port on shrearer pipes. WIth the Shrearer pipes, I will need the "small bore" pipes correct? ALso, with all that, will I be able to kick a 700 raptor and a yfz 450's ass??

    are you running a stock head?if so,your comp.is just fine.

     

     

    Yes, I have a stock head. I was just under the impression that a new top end would boost my compression up to around 140-150. What is a stock banshee compression? I want more HP from it after riding it this weekend. I rode my friends 100 hp banshee and WOW!...that was just sickening! I really would like to get a set of CPI drag pipes, but then I gotta re-jett it and other stuff.

    Well, I just got off the phone with the dealership where I keep it and they're gonna check it out 2day. I never noticed it before I went to the sand dunes. I know the sand dunes are hard on clutches because ya gotta slip the clutch a lot more 2 get it to move. As for the cylinder pressure, I am going to get the engine to operating temp and then do a compression test tonight and see what it shows up as.

    IMO you should have more compression ! when you did your comp check were you holding the throttle wide open ? and clutch chatter is not normal pull the cover and take a look. and I believe stock comp is 145 someone please correct me if i am wrong as i would like to know to .

     

     

    When I did the compression test the engine was cold and yes I had the throttle wide open. The Wiseco pistons are forged pistons therefore they swell a little bit when they warm up, that could have been the reason for only 130 lbs. of pressure????

    Ok, so here goes nothing. I am super anal about my banshee and any noise out of the ordinary I immediatley diagnose and fix. Ok, so here is what I have some questions on. I have an '01 and I just rebuilt the top-end two weeks ago. Prior to the rebuild, I ran a compression test and had 60 lbs of pressure in each cylinder. I bored the cylinders .030 and put Wiseco pistons in it. So I ran a compression test yesterday after riding it at sandfest all weekend and I have 130 lbs of pressure in each cylinder. I assumed I would have at least 140 -150 lbs of pressure after a fresh top end rebuild. If anyone has any input, please share. What is stock pressure in each cylinder?. Ok, so on to the next question. I started it and ran it for a while yesterday after putting my dirt tires back on. I noticed a chattering noise coming from my clutch area. Its not the kickstarter either. I know the dunes are hard on clutches, so I might be in need of a new clutch. Has anyone else heard a chattering noise like this? and what did you do about it? If I tear apart, I'm gonna replace the entire clutch with a hinson basket and new metals and front and rear plates with heavy duty springs. The clutch currently in the bike is a stock clutch. Keep in mind, it is an '01. I'm just curious as if what I'm hearing is normal and if I'm freaking out over a little clutch basket chatter? Thanks guys for all the input, Like I said earlier, I'm a worry'er and I would rather spend the money now than get out riding and F the thing up worse and sit with a sad face.
