check your head for any blockage that mite be restricting coolant flow. i also have heard that the right side usually runs cooler cuz the waterpump is on that side but it doesnt make sense to me being that the coolant hose is in the middle of the head but maybe look into that just an idea.

sweet thanks i will deffinately be milling the head .030 and adding a +4 timing plate or just modify the stock one i never heard of porting reed cages i will have to get that done thanks guys much help!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont have that banshee anymore i wish i would have kept it this one i have now is basically all stock it has fmf pipes and jetted to the pipes and thats it. i want to gain more bottom end at a cost effective pace rite now i got laid off and now getting back to work so now i wanna build another one i work at a machine shop so i figured i could shave the head .010-.015 and still be able to run 93octane fuel in it the topend is roughly 12hrs old on it now. so if i go with a +4 plate a shaved head and open pods and jet it up it should have a bit more punch?

i have a 2002 banshee stock bore stock carbs bassically all stock except the fmf pipes and jets. has uni filter in the box of course runs great mid to top end i just wanna get a lil more snap off the bottom any ideas?

i had that problem with my shee and the holes were wore out to an oval where the carrier bolted on so i welded washers in the swinger for a temporary fix till i bought a new swingarm.
