Or he clearly doesn't know what he's buying.. Not everybody is as intelligent as this stuff as you may be..... However, to the "OP" try to find a set. Look around.. Try to either get a set used on ebay that are an OEM replacement or see if you have any atv salvage yards. Or even better yet, ask in the "for sale" or wanted section of the forums here for a good set of used front shocks. That's what I would do. Ask in the for sale/wanted area, check ur local salvage yards, or try to find used OEM. Don't get an aftermarket set for 40 bucks..

NICE! what did the setup cost? I'm only curious because I'm still on the SOHC. Honda's been doing it for years, but I can't seem to buy the DOHC upgrade anywhere!! Did the switch to a triple at some point?

Im dead serious... And thanks for the replies.. Can anyone show me how to mount the two extra TORS please? I'm having trouble lining them up

So I just raced my buddies blaster. It smoked me. I'm thinking about adding some bolt ons for my banshee. Are hot cams worth it? Am I able to to go from SOHC to a dual? I was told that adding twice the cams will give me twice the horsepower. Here's what I'm thinking. . . . Dual overhead Cam upgrade (from single) Adjustable Powerband ---> http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=30 Twin Muffler bearings ---> http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=10 Reed elimination kit (Increase my throttle response) Adding another TORS Port blocking Please let me know if I missed anything. I really want to beat this thing.

well I kind of rolled the banshee. And I'm looking to replace the lights entirely. but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg either. lol the 4 mill plus all the bolt ons robbed my wally...

I'll definitely look into that light bar. Trying to see what other options I have as well

I really want to upgrade my lights. With a set of stocks it seems like you're over driving your lights in second gear. It's terrible. I don't want to spend 300 dollars for a set if I don't have to. What are some of you guys running for really bright lights? I want something stupidly almost illegally bright. I don't ride at night a lot, but when I do, it'd sure be nice to see more then I can now. Also.. I can convert my stator to DC, but haven't really thought about running a battery. If it's a must, then maybe we can discuss that as well. I'd like to know what kind of options I have, and price ranges I'm looking at. Thanks.

My bike with the same pipes is running 300 main 32.5 pilot, middle clip at 1500 ft. It ran at that jetting and those pipes for years. It's a little higher then what's reccommended but it's what worked for me.

My advice.. DON'T pop ur case loose at all unless you plan to redo the entire thing. If you want to just pop up a side/corner to get the seal out, I'd be willing to bet that you'll have an air leak when you reassemble. Goodbye pistons I guess. If you really want to go ahead and do it... then there's 8 nuts on the bottom, and another 8 bolts on the top. (Underneatth where the carbs should be) Be sure to only back them off a little at a time, staggered. To split, hit the case with a rubber malet, (I used a block of wood) and try to seperate with ur hands. I stood my foot in the front sprocket area, and carefully pulled up to split mine. Worked well, not much banging, and NO wedging. Goodluck btw.. Let me know how it runs after u put it together. Or how the pressure test held up. I really advise not doing this. If you pull the cases apart even a mm, you just wrecked the entire seal for the whole bottom end. Defeats the point to replace a bad seal to trade it for an air leak IMO. Anyways, my two cents. Either way, good luck to you!

I'll sum this up short and sweet. 1: Banshee needed a new top end. Did research on internet. Found Bansheehq.com 2: was jealous of other peoples mods and stroked shee's 3: Convinced that it was worth porting/stroking, etc 4: Rebuilt my motor and went balls deep into my wallet for more mods 5: Test drove the shee for the first time.. The SECOND that fucking thing hit the powerband I was like...... Anyways, just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping me get through my mods/jetting troubleshooting.. Everything. I really appreciate the help I've had here.

IMO... Spend an extra 150 bucks.. Pull the cylinders off, ship them to a sponsor and have them port your cylinders. (it'll make ur banshee go faster) and have the sponsor bore and hone them. You need to get the cylinders bored and honed anyways for the new topend. For what you'll pay a shop to do it, it's almost worth it to send it to a site sponsor. http://www.herrjugsracing.com/Yamaha_Banshee.html http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/services.asp That's just two.. MANY other sponsors in bansheehq can do it as well. Trust me.. It'll be worth EVERY penny to get it ported for your own riding style. Just rebuilt my new motor.. Leaning over the damn front bumper in 5th gear and the damn front end still hates touching the ground.

That's stupidly low on compression.. My god... It still runs!!!? lol Have u been fouling plugs? To answer your question.. YES! it's time for a new topend. You need to put a new top end in every 40ish hours. Or by the general rule of thumb "Every set of tires". And by that I don't meant a new bore/hone, pistons, just throw some rings in it if the cylinders/pistions look good. What I would do, is send the cylinders to a sponsor. FAST/HJR, etc. Ask them to bore/hone and send you back the necessary pistions/rings. OR... Send the cylinders out to a sponsor. Tell them you want a port job. . . They'll really make ur banshee scream and get you an entire new topend for only about 300 bucks.

Never rode it, don't even have footpegs installed yet. My hands are trembling.. I've got 3 banshees in the garage, and I'm absolutely terrified of this thing and I haven't even driven it.. It revs out faster then I can blink.. It feels like it has twice the power the other shees do.. WTF did I just get myself into...

Okay.. So to my own disbelief. . . . . . . . . . I went and double checked the dumbass parking brake.. Turns out you were right ban.. Everybody makes mistakes I guess. . . lol Thanks

I've disconnected that wire all together. That's the parking brake your taking about right? I tried to plug it in, and tried it with it unplugged ... I just double checked my choke tube, slides are in the right carbs, double checked my pickup gap in my new timing plate, tried pulling the air filter off, tried leaning it out.. brought my air screw to 2.5 turns out.. still nothing. Put new plugs in it.. nothing again.. still rev limited..
