  1. I want to get my cylinders ported and my crank welded up. Whats the best place to go, I live in Buffalo NY? Not a big deal if I have to send them out I got a lot time. Cylinders also have to be fitted for new pistons as well. I'm sure that one of the site sponsors will take good care of me but just curious which one.
  2. So i'm treating down my motor just to check everything, it's winter here in buffalo not riding much. Top end is wore out and it needs to be bored. Right now the motor is completely stock except for T5 pipes. The crank is literally perfect but I might as well add some power while I have it apart. I was looking at a big bore kit and came across the athena 392 kit basically because it was affordable. After doing some research I found that it's pretty much a waste of time. Am I better off going with my stock cylinders but getting them ported? I have heard that the vitos kit is pretty good, is that true? Or overall will I see the best power improvement form a stroker crank. Really don't want to go that route because of the money. Will be getting some 30mm carbs and reeds in the future.
  3. T5's with proper jetting, nothing else maybe a port job in the future.
  4. How much different will it actually perform? Ive never had anything with a wrapped exhaust. I understand that it helps retain heat in the pipes but I doubt its going to add any nock your socks off power.
  5. I'm literally only doing it for the look, I could care less about the heat retention. I just want to try something different.
  6. No I mean like a header wrap that you would use on a car. Some custom motorcycles also have the exhaust wrapped.
  7. It might help to go to a smaller pilot.
  8. I'm thinking about wrapping my exhaust from the headers to where the expansion chambers meet the mufflers. (I have t5's) The main reason I want to is that the previous owner spray painted them with some shit walmart paint and they are just peeling off. They are chrome underneath but it's not in the greatest shape. Yeah I could strip them and have them plated again but I think it would look pretty cool wrapped, everybody has chrome pipes. Thanks for the input.
  9. Ive been told that running to much oil in your gas will result in a lean condition. I was just curious if anybody has ever seen this, theoretically it can be true because you physically have less gas and more oil. However, in my opinion if you have that much oil the cylinders wouldn't even heat up to cause any damage due to the extreme amount of oil let alone run at all. I have always double mixed my first gallon of gas in a new engine and never had any problems. Just curious cause I just built my friends banshee and he freaked out when I told him that it was mixed 16:1.
  10. I have a stock exhaust with aftermarket red silicone clamps/tube to connect the mid pipe and the header, the hose clamps keep coming loose and the silicone starts to slide, if I crank on the hose clamps it just deforms the clamps and the silicone, just wondering if there are any tips out there to help with this.

  11. Yeah that's what I thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I'm running a freshly built stock machine with pod filters, right now I have 240 mains instead of the 210's. The 240's are a little fat which I kinda expected, I wanted to be safe for the first ride. Can I go back to the 210's for the next ride or will I risk doing damage, I think that 220's or 230's are going to be perfect but I'm going for a ride this weekend and I don't have the money for a new set of jets (I'm in college). The plugs were tan with a hint of black with the 240's, I wasn't really riding it hard in the top end though. I understand that pod filters won't add a ton of extra air but I'm sure there's going to be a tiny bit more at WFO. Thanks for the help ahead of time, I understand jetting I've done many other machines, this is my first banshee so just wondering what the guys with more experience than me are doing.
  13. Just glittery specs, the gears look brand new and everything is installed correctly so I doubt the gears are grinding down. Just went for a hard ride yesterday and everything seemed good. Will drain the oil tommorow to see what I find. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Get an o-ring chain or x-ring, they last 10 times as long as a standard roller chain. Always change your sprockets too, if not it will wear your new chain very quickly. As for getting a cheap chain I would try and get the best you can with your budget. Especially on a banshee with so much power the last thing you want to do is break a chain, it will probably wreck your engine case if it does break. Finally, if you get a colored one it will add about 9hp.
  15. I just rebuilt my motor, everything in the tranny is stock and was reused. I am using the same clutch that came off of the original motor, everything was within spec. I just used normal 10w30 motor oil nothing special and when I went to drain it right after the first ride it had some metal filings in it. Nothing crazy there wasn't any chunks or anything like that. I personally think it is the clutch plates because it doesn't look like steel, its more like brass or something gold colored. I don't know if its normal its my first banshee and I know on chain cases for snowmobiles it is perfectly normal to see some metal filings.
