Do you see them on here?

Any of these builders still in business and great at Banshees?

~~~~Glad this thread is getting hijacked.

I'm going to try to do it right this time. Acquire a set of virgin cylinders. Have either cam or jay port them. (haven't decided on porter). Drop a +4 crank long rod in a stock set of good cases. Have it dynoed by Jay. I'm sick of working on it. I've spent more hours on the bike then I care to remember.

Ok, so explain the vitto's pistons.

I ran a RK heavy duty and i snapped it in half after one season of riding.

A few guys recommended wps chains. I purchased one and installed it. I didn't have to tighten it all weekend. All the others when they were new I would have to tighten them on the trail 4 or 5 times in a weekend. WPS is the way to go!

I know John has giving me good advice. I'm saving to do it right.

Thanks John. You're such a nice guy.

Thats what I did. I googled it

An 09 YFZ450 and a 06 Raptor 660 were the only ones running by the end of the weekend. There was two clutch cable failures. Two crashes. Two chain breakages. One of them was on my blaster and it popped the case. The dust was so bad that my Kodiak carb needed to be cleaned twice. Another YFZ carrier bearings crapped out. The mosquitoes were so bad I still have marks on my body. The cops showed up Sunday saying the neighbors were complaining about the noise. Looks like we won't be going back to that spot. Next time it will be the local motel.

I wish I had the funds to drop the bike off at Jay's and say do it like Windy says. I'm sick of working on it.

Actually the DS and three raptors broke down. 9 out of the 11 bikes broke down from either part failure or crash. My plan now is to sell the set on there now and find a set of virgin cylinders. Have them professionally ported. If I can afford it I'll do a 4 mil long rod and custom domes. Then have it dynoed by Jay.

I just did a ton of reading of old posts. I didn't think to search for the subject. It does look like a long rod setup would be the better choice.

I was going to throw my old cylinders back on. When I pulled out my piston for the old set I discovered a crack in the piston between the ports. So I decided not install that old set. Then I was stuck with trying to figure out why the new set wasn't running right. The problem was that I took to much metal out of the cylinders. It had no bottom end. It ran great after 30mph and if I didn't hit any puddles. After I ran out of gas at wide open then it didn't want to go at all. I'm just happy I got through the weekend.

That's why I'm asking. I don't know the differences. I want to learn before I make a decision on what I will eventually put in my motor. There are so many critical people on this site.

I only had a .030 left and with me in the middle of the woods. Not like I had a choice.

Got a fucking problem?

Looks like short rod is the better choice for piston availability. Pistons may not live as long in a short rod set up though.

Want to borrow me 4k John?
