Ok slow down. Ive had 6 hrs with this kit. And am rebuilding the bike. And i dont have a dyno so i have no idea what hp its making. Its a very nice improvement over stock. But its not a cub

By toned down im saying its not better or the same as a 421 cub. Its a 392cc

I agree. This test is for everyone who has ever asked about the kit. And myself to put my tuning skills to the test.

Last banshee i had was a 421cc cub. This kit runs about exactly like it (toned down of coarse) meaning if my old shee made 80hp this one makes 60ish. Rpm wise, well i have no way to tell you. I think this kit is awesome for the guy who rides trails, and to show buddies up on a back road (me) im going to do a full test when i get back together. Im going to compare this kit to a trail port motor with a 4mil. (Buddys banshee) and tell you how it stands to it. My bike will be: athena kit, pro circuit pipes, 28mm carbs, no airbox lid, 19cc domes, vf3 reeds, +4 timing. I will be trying both 28mm carbs and 30mm carbs Buddys banshee: trail ported 65mm pistons, 4mil, vf3 reeds, 28mm flat slides, uni pods 22cc domes, wiseco pistons, +2 timing Ive road his bike and im POSITIVE i can get what i need out of my athena bike to atleast stay with him the whole time. Then i will be porting it and posting new results.

I got to try this kit out and figured id post because a lot of people talk this kit down. I bought a banshee and it had a athena kit, it absolutly RIPPS! i really like the kit and its not "cheap" like everyone is saying. The cylinders and gaskets are quality. The pistons are not the best but ill run them till it needs rebuilt and go to wisecos. The kit isnt for a guy looking for a big bore kit off the market, this is for the guy who needs a bore. Heres the way i thought of it 90$ bore 250$ piston kit Thats 340$ thats half the kit price!!! So u sell ur cylinders 200$ Sell your head 120$ So what u did is buy your rebuild kit, with a good set of cylinders for 680$ and u have a good deal..... I guess id say a 5 star rating is perfect like a cub motor, these get a 3.5 or 4 star in my book. These cylinders are no joke. The company; i have yet to deal with, but i will be communicating with them soon getting some inside shit for u guys here. I will be posting everything said. Guys, theres no need for bashing here. Im just posting my review. Im sure if a few of you picked up this kit you would see what im saying. Plus u can pay to get the port job of your choice from a sponsor. Its still supporting one of our supporters.

Still have grille?

Let me know if you have one. I really want one! Thanks

Oil brand. Mixing ratio Octane. timing.

Whats your elivation?

My dads selling my trinity coolhead. Its chrome. Its 150$ free shipping. 20cc domes that should put u arpund 150psi if im not wrong. But mine comes with all u need to install. Acorn nuts, 20cc domes and brand new o ring kit. Let me know i can link you

Ok think.... for a minute and try not to hurt yourself..... This site is ran by people who can build a sick banshee with their eyes closed. They KNOW who does the best work and they KNOW whats going on. This site doesnt deal with shitty companys. Honestly, look at all the sponsors work, its top notch..... do u really think someone with years of top notch work and good feedback is going to fuck the whole company over a damn grille??? NO! That simple. If you call when theyre not open...... i dont think someone will answer. Try a day u know theyre open. A morning or afternoon when all the work is done. Im sure they will get you your part.

What color powerband do you have? The yellow ones add more top speed. If you have tripple stage spark plugs with the gold threads youll beat him. But barely. Its not just a 450........ its a 450R that means more stickers...... more stickers= FAST AS FUCK! MY BANSHEE HAD 40 STICKERS IT WENT 156MPH

Maby u mean 421cc? Or possibly 404cc?

ummm? whats the link u posted? it didnt do anything at all..... took me to the home page :confused:

agreed! this thing is coming clear apart and put together with all new seals and bearings all over the bike. i will be posting pics to a photobucket account as soon as i get a chance to upload them. let the tear down begin!!!

i just went and got it a little while ago. it runs with my coil. i payed 1500$ down, i gave him a check for 800$ and he took that.so $2200

idk if you could make skid plates, grilles, foot brake levers, shifters..... ive made a few for people im sure a ton of people would buy some. im in the market for a shifter

i bought a 1999 yamaha banshee here is the modification list; MOTOR 392cc athena kit 19cc domes +4 timing Vf3 reeds 28mm carbs water pump impellar pro circuit pipes (cut silencers) SUSPENSION stock shocks front wheel spacers +2 rear axle +4 extension on stock swingarm BODY (looks) stainless bolts custom visible clutch cover PC yellow frame Yellow fuel lines and vent lines Pro elite front bumper twist throttle 22 inch rear tires +more im forgetting the bike currently does not run, it needs a coil. buddys moving to the city, dont have room for a trail quad. total price is $3600. SPARE PARTS 64.50 trail ported cylinders wiseco piston kit for cylinders trinity coolhead 20cc domes ported cases k&n pro flow filter port matched cases beadlock rims D.I.D gold chain Fat bars anti-vibration steering stem 13t-17t front sprockets 38t-42t rear sprockets yfz450 brakes all are "spare parts" because they are not on the bike yet, most will go on but some will be sold. bike does ripp when i throw my stock coil on it. questions: athena 392cc kit, who has ran these on trails? what size carbs would benifit this current set up? this being a hardcore trail/dirt road race bike, what gearing would make it faster than others? alot of work is going to be put into this bike. im just needing some help from the pro's while im setting this up.

what all do you build?

hey man, lemmie know how that rear shock and linkage works for ya.

Proove its bullshit asshole.

No actually all it took was the dispute on paypal. When ur paypal isnt connected to a bank account, it sets a spending limit. It will not let u spend any money at all. I tried to send ur money back when u first asked but it said "please connect to a bank account to remove limit" when u did the dispute, it gave me a option to do a full refund. Which i did. Im sending u the handguards my mom said they will send either monday or tuesday. If you dont believe me open a fake paypal and dont connect to a bank account. It will do the same. Sorry for the trouble. I wont be selling on this site at all to do myself and others a favor.
