Hey man, glad to have ya !!!! I'm pretty new compared to alot of these guys but i'll tell you this much, it really all depends on what kind of riding you want to do. If that happened to mine, i would just pop the cylinders off, bore them to the next size or two up, inspect the crank and rods and if everything is good to go, then get a set of WISECO pro-lite pistons and that head looks pretty tore up, so i would either get a coolhead with some pump gas domes, i think you can go down to like 19 or 20cc, not 10% sure off hand and have nice compression and still run premium pump gas... If you are a speed demon or just think you may want the extra power down the road so you ant to do it while its apart, have your cylinders ported and bored at the same time, I've seen stock ported cylinder banshees with stock airboxes (clamp-on filter and intake adapter of course) timing advance and pipes on pump gas put out a very respectful 60hp and be just as if not more reliable than a stock engine...trust me 60hp hitting the ground from a 350 2-stroke twin is enough to make almsot anyone white knuckled and giggling like a school kid at the pleasure... I'll tell you this much if you have stock pipes, dont even wast time bolting them back on, ANY aftermarket pipes are a vast improvement and jetting is very simple on those little mikunis, very simple indeed, they almost have it down to a science now where if you have this set up you run these or if you have this set up and change altitude you run these, its a cakewalk man, welcome to the addiction, start savng your pennies and you will be roasting 4-pokes in no time at all, hahahaha

You know that 2-part plastic epoxy that comes in a syringe type deal for like 5 bucks at the local auto parts store ? I filled every one of my holes with it, scraped it smooth with a utility blade and used black touch up car paint to dab over the holes, man they look so much better than the holes or labels and that epoxy is stronger than the plastics themselves...you can also use that epoxy to glue something cool on there, like a ornament or more storage, just make sure you dont want to take it off ever, coz that shit is strong as hell...

Hi guys, My friend Bob up the road bought this banshee because I had one and he just wanted to see what they were about. To be honest he said hes scared of it, I dunno, LOL...So, its all pretty much all original, he swapped the wheels out for gold warrior wheels because the tires were better on them and i think it looks cool too. It has T-5 pipes, new delrin a-arm bushings, powermadd handguards, Full skidplates, nerf bars, carbon hood, tag bars and i think thats about it...Hes not a tuner, but it runs decent, he tried to keep up with me all day on it and mine pissed some antifreeze and i cracked a brakeline when he had no issues in 8 hours of riding...anyways, hes asking $2600 for it and rather than post pictures or my number, i'm just going to post the link below so you can see it and his number. Hes a decent guy, a little high strung, but decent, its in NC, i'm sure hed be willing to drive a ways to meet someone, send you better pics, whatever you need...I dont see anyone looking for a trail shee or a stock buildable shee having any regrets about this one...thanks guys... http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/mcy/1982961587.html

Yess, that thing is going to be wicked...

Sweet banshee...looks real clean... I'd check the jetting, grease and oil everything, change the oil, put a 4 degree timing advance on, vf3 reeds, hd clutch springs, billet impeller, engine ice, deck and reshape the stock head/domes for some better compression and ride the crap out of it...but thats just me...you're going to get a zillion opinions. If you plan on any porting id swap out the pipes for some t-5 Good idea on the shocks, noone like shocks that fade to pogo sticks when your romping on them... Best of luck with it, cant wait to see what you do with it, i love watching these things become customs...

No wonder why people are pricks, you have to be scared to help someone ? Fuck this government and thier cheese !!!

wouldnt you be better to ask your builder ? there are so many variables in your set up...

pods dont help anything unless you are ported big, i have a billet intake and a k&n in the stock box with no lid and i'm running the same jets as i always have with pods... check this out... http://www.teamalbaracing.com/product.php?productid=2246&cat=432&page=1

stock pilot (25) air screw 1.5 turns out from lightly seated 300 main needle clip on 4th groove from the top ^^^ I bet thats pretty flippin close ^^^

Yeah, yeah...say or think what ya want, i dont care, i'm not a 12 year old kid whos going to cry about it or defend myself over you guys not believeing me...Here's the real deal... i grew up in northeast pa where there are tons of banshees because they are good for climbing the coal hills. Sometimes id trade a whole banshee or put one together from stock parts my friends were taking off thiers. I even built a deck for one one time. thats how many i had, It only takes an hour to take on apart and organize it with a buddy and a few metric tools, take your frame to the powdercoater, polish some stuff, oreder some parts and your riding in undr a month... ive had many more toys too, cars, trucks, bikes, whatever, just this past summer i had an olds cutlass supreme, a lifted toyota, a ford f150. a tecate, 2 cr250s, a 700xx, a 400ex and now another banshee which i may have a few years, i may have a few days, who knows, do you really care that much ? I think y'all need to get off ma JOCK Anyhow Matt and Run are 100% correct about the boost bottles, mine was on there since a frined bought the thing brand new in 05 and the shop who put that and the intake and pipes on were smart enough to route the wires and hoses ABOVE the boost bottle, i jetted it fatter for the new pipes when i got it and just rejetted it for the cooler weather last week, i wanted to hide the hoses and wiring better so i put them under the bottle like an idiot, well wouldnt you know about 8 hours of riding later and the force of those wires pushed back on the bottle enough to tear my intakes. I'm 100% positive that the wires behind it were holding it forward and then when i put them in front of it they not only let it move back, they helped push it back to rip the boots...needless to say, the bottle is long gone and i will be re-routing my harness and hoses to stay the hell away from the intake... My conclusion is its not the bottle ripping the boots, but our stupidity hanging carbs and filters off them and pushing them way past thier intended operating strength or like me, prying on them with the harness, crankase breather hoses and coolant lines for the sake of good looks, owell...who said banshees were for the poor ??? Live and learn, like i said before i imagine the companies that make so many good products wouldnt sel something that doesnt do its intended job, but ive never seen one make a damn bit of difference so to me thier not worth it...

Which gasket ? you mean the seal at the cap, the seal at the petcock, or the petcock o-ring ? You can get o-rings at any auto-parts store for the petcock and if its the bottom seal from the petcock to the tank, just seal it up with yamabond or a similar gasket maker...

You gotta be crazy unless your just going in a straight line i guarantee you will wreck an atv with a twist throttle or at least come close, its not only the whoops, bumps and trail obstacles, but, on a dirtbike you sit upwards and squeeze the bike with your legs plus you dont turn the bars, you lean...so you can still hold on while throttling. On an atv you cannot lean, so you have to get all your weight to the inside and wrestle the handlebars sliding arouns a corner, they are bigger and heavier and you need your fingers to hold on, you simply cannot do that with a twist, dont listen to peoples opinions...take the atv companies that have been in business before these people were born...nuff said... THUMB THROTTLE ON ATV ALLLL DAMN DAY !!!!

That thing is nice man !!! Welcome to the site. Best starter mod is hands down pipes, reeds, open filters, timing advance and proper jetting...once you do that, you will tear the tires off it in no time and be investing in some new meats and you will begin your journey, in a few years it will prob be a chromed out, fully custom 100+ horsepower devil bike, lol... Best of luck to you, ask around man, lots of good guys on here who arent scared to voice thier opinions and/or steer you in the proper direction...

just unplug the tors box, if that system is the problem, that will solve it, but i doubt it...

First things first, fix those silencers, theres noway thier the same length mid-pipes so prob both sides will have to be jetted different, i would just redo the mid pipes the correct way, definately fix that rear shock, get an airbox and ride that sucker mandingo...

did ya try ebay ?

what about a dial-a-jet ?

IMO k&n or velocity pods with outerwears are far superior...

What do you mean by cheap ?

I'll belive that when me shite turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert... In other words, prob just like splitfire or any other miracle plug....bullcrap...so @ $16.00 a pop, I'll stick to my NGK plugs...

same as a dial-a-jet right ? my friend has the thunder racing ones and someone on here has the dial-a-jets, great for different altidues ive heard, def easier than yankin your bowls, i would imagine easier to yune the carbs to thier respective ylinders too, i may be getting a set here before long, jetting sucks...its easy i just hase smelling like gas constantly

Thanks !!!

nice...
