thats what ive been looking around for.... where do i get a soft seat?

no filters will blow ur motor so fast! id rise the clip and turn the air screws out some.that will help alot

i have upgraded to works suspension already

i have done a lot of custom work to my banshee my self, i have made it very personalized and now im asking the big question......... wht mods can i do to help me in my GNCC races? i dont want to change my gearing. what mods can i do to improve it for this style of racing?

definitly, the best situation is to clean out your carb bowls and rise the clips up one notch and see how it runs, if its better but still not as hard running as the cheap oil, id go one more notch. but probabily dont want to jump 2 notches at first, it could lean it way out and blow up

im not a banshee pro, but i can tell you that i run klotz oil 32:1 and i have no problems, very good oil. runs about 11-13$ in PA atleast. what you could do is rise your clip up a notch on your needle. should help.

i did some looking around at other peoples banshees and decided im gonna paint my +2+1 a arms yellow and my swingarm yellow and do my frame the exact color of my grey plastic. my dad owns the machine shop and has a powder coat booth so i can take as long as i want lol. worked around that shop for years

lol its like a really dark grey from walmart..... only the best for my shee LMAO i cant get pics up for some reason..

i have a 1998 yamaha banshee and when i got it it had the a arms yellow and the frame the origional silver color. i didnt like that so when i had it all apart i threw a quick coat of spray paint on it to see what color i want to get done, its a dark charcoal grey and i cant decide between that and yellow? ill upload a pic in a sec

very good advice. thanks. with all my mods, do you think its a good idea to run 15/40 gearing?

lol well it started at 700. i bid 800. then two idots took it up to 1100 so my last bid was 1200 and they sold for 2500$ it was the +2+1 a arms with a roller frame and a g force axle and +12 swinger.

98 octane with a 32:1 ratio using klotz racing oil

i have changed my gearing to 15/42. rips hard and i can hit 6th gear easier. i tookl it on the trails this morning when i got off work and it was a beast. im gonna stay with that gearing, im picking up a new high output coil just because i want it to have a better spark, had a bidding war this morning on a set of +2 +1 A arms but let them go, figured id better get some riders opinions before i spend 2,500$ i need to update my signature lol

i would get an adjustable timing plate and set it to a negitive number to slow it down... cheap as 100$

if any of you are familiar with NW PA. the trails turn into dirt roads and fields, my dirt road is strait for almost a mile. me and my friends are always doin little drags here.

lol so thats a no? its bout 1/2 mile tho

what kind of rmps would u think im turnin? would 15/41 gearing work?

and how would i do that??

haha i agree. i mean, i love it, with the 16/40 itll wheelie pretty easily still. i got a few different size sprockets, im trying to find the perfect combo. the 22inch tires are staying because they give me good ground clearance. when i had the 15/40 gearing on it this morning i really liked it the best. thats probably what im going to do is the 15/40 gears, and the 421 serval. i tried stock gearing, i just dont like it. if i rip on the throttle it spins horrible and i have to let off and slowly get on it.

didnt know that actually..... my buddy sent me a gearing calculator and it said my gearing would get me to 100mph. i see a lot of good knowlageable posts by you zilla, what do you think i should do to have a fast but quick trail banshee?

what im really looking for is to be able to go 100mph, and have it be rideable on the trails. we have a huge field where we play and race for braging rights, but i cant say i do it so often that i want to put a 421 cheetah kit on it. im pretty sure this winter im going to tear it all apart and do the stroker kit and what ever else i can do bolt on thats under 500. ive had it for 4 or 5 weeks now and have put 4500$ into it lol.

i didnt really want to either. ive been told the same by many people and dont wanna loose my bottom end. thanks for the advice and btw, thats a very nice clean banshee youve got. i want to stay with the 26mms, but is there any mods i could do to help it perform better? other than the stroker crank or the big bore?

what size should i order? keep in mind this is my first banshee and im racing GNCC and trail riding it. not really drag racing and never in the sand dunes.

when i asked about jetting, in the forum i asked if i should get a set of 28mm's and i was told stock are just as great.

ok. let me know what you think.
