Ok, just a quick question on carbs, I think I am going to switch from a single to a dual carb setup on my Shee. I just got it and haven't even run it, crank and topend need rebuilt, but I do mostly road riding and want the top end powerband. I was wondering if 28mm flatside mikunnis are any good? Any other advice on what size carbs I should get. I want to keep the price of the dualies below what I can get for the single setup on ebay. Thanks!

Couple quick questions to sum up my last post, what can 450r hubs do for a banshee, as I got a set of them with it, idk what the kid was planning to do with them, does it widen the front stance, more durable, etc. Another question, what size domes should I run for the cool head to be on pump gas, 20cc, 21, or 22, I ride anywhere between 300-1000 feet above sea level. One more question, last for now, what should I start off with for the jetting for this setup, its got fmf gnarly pipes, powercore 2 silencers, k&n air filter, single 36mm pwk carb, vforce 3 reed valves, porting that looked like it came outta hell, and that should be everything that I think affects jetting, I just dont wanna blow her up on my first ride. Thanks

The surprising thing is, there really isn't any scarring on the cylinder walls from the piston. I was very surprised, because it looked like someone took a welder to the rings to try and make them stay on the piston, they are literally merged into one. I think I am going to bore it one size over, since it has virtually no scarring, and I need new domes for it because the one side got clobbered from the piston, its super pitted, what size do you think I could run tops on pump gas where I am at? The local pump gas is 91 octane. Yeah, all the parts are included except of course new pistons, crank, domes, gasket kit, etc. I even got the stock pipes, front shocks, front gas tank and radiator plastic, clutch inspection plate or whatever the formal name is for that, since it has a polished aluminum one on it, and 450r front hubs. Actually I got everything for 1050, which for around here where I live, isn't bad. You really can't pick up a running one around here for less than 1500, and that is pretty much bone stock. At least that is what I have seen looking for them. One quick question, what would the guy have been planning to do with the 450r hubs and the banshee, do they add any width or something? Thanks for the input!

Yeah I'm set to get a new crank ordered today or tomorrow. And for the studs, it does have a cool head, and I know those come with different studs, would that be why they are much longer than stock? I am also wondering what to do with the carb setup. It has the trinity stage IV 2 into 1 kit on it and I am not sure what the jetting should be at for it. I'm at about sea level so... Other than that, I am just in the area of procuring parts for it and will update as I build it up.

Hey guys, new to the forum, been a member of everything2stroke for some time. Just picked up a banshee this past weekend. It needs some work to it. As you can tell, one of the pistons got clobbered. The one side of the crank is shot too, at least the lower rod bearing is, and I suspect the main bearings as well. It came with cool dome heads, and I need a new set of domes for it. It has meiar? racing plastics on it all around. Ported, as you can tell, but its a pretty ugly job. I might have to have someone clean it up if at all possible, but that is at a later time if it seems screwed up, I am going to do some measurements and look at it better when I get home, I'm at college now. I'm planning on replacing the crank, pistons, and domes at the least. It has the following done to it. It has pro taper bars, meiar racing plastics, six pack rack, gripper seat cover, works dual rate shocks with ressies, good full set of kenda tires, itp polished aluminum wheels all around, fmf gnarly pipes with powercore 2 silencers, trinity 2 in 1 carb setup, keihn pwk carb, porting, pro design cool head, 200 watt stator, billet impeller, barnett racing clutch with new hub and pressure plate, hinson clutch basket, vforce reeds, k&n airfilter, and new case halfs, a spare set of maxxis razr 18 inch tires in like new condition, hairs still slightly on, and a set of nerfs, I cannot remember the brand. Thanks to any one who answers and what do you think?
