Ok so I have been working on this build for probably 5 months. A lot of time waiting on parts and money haha. Any way I bought this banshee about 8 months ago and it was rattle canned black. I mean everything. Cleaned it up and what I had was the silver plastic banshee in my link. Went on a trip with some friends and had a great time but I couldn't beat my friend on his cr250r dirt bike. That's what made me want to tear it down and rebuild. So I did...
Mods before tear down-
Fatties
Trinity 2-1 carb
+4 timing
Yfz front end including brakes
Laker plastics
Itp beadlock rears
During tear down I found that my cylinders were shot, crank was seperating and O-rings torn, idler gear chewed up because the retainer clip was in the bottom of the cases, trans bearings shot, missing engine dampeners, swing arm bearing blew apart and the bearing chewed up the carrier and sleeve inside that spaces bearings apart so this is what I did.
As it sits-
Repainted lakers and race cut the rears because of a crack
New crank trued and welded
New cylinders ported
Cool head with 20cc domes 140 psi in both
LRD adjustable pipes
Vf2's
Toomey super cooler radiator
Powdercoated frame bright blue pearl
JDS wide pegs & tuning forks grill
New plus 4 swinger with new bearings and seals
New chain,sprockets,slider and guide
New trans with new bearings seals and modded shift star
Painted cases hi temp black with all new seals.
New steering stem bushings and seals
New A-arm bushings and seals
Pro taper bars
Odi grips
Went to stock carbs with cfm aluminum airbox
Black asv levers
Kill switch
Billet brake hub and lock nut
Billet stator cover and clutch side inserts
I think it turned out great and it runs awesome. I'm leaving for another trip in a week so we will see what happens with the 250r and another guy picked up a 450r dirtbike and is talking shit so hopefully I can report back with the ass wooping they received.
Here's so pics
