  1. Also, for phase 2, where can I find stroker domes for the stock bore? Idk what piston or crank HJR uses but looks like Noss can make 64-66mm domes for 795 pistons on the long rod stroker crank. That seems like the standard setup?
  2. Alright I need some advice. I've been doing a ton of research on here and came up with a plan. I want the input of others before I start dumping money. I have a pretty much stock banshee right now. Goal is to have a do it all banshee that makes safe power on pump gas and can handle cruising trails to dune runs. Phase 1 completed: new tires on and cleaned/rebuilt the stock carbs. It already has a pro design filter, airbox lid removed, elka front shocks, and FMF gold pipes. Phase 1.5 in progress right now: timing plate to +4, Vforce V4 reeds, new clutch and inner hub, water temp gauge, and send it til the end of the season. Am I correct that it doesnt really add any hp by doing a cyl head at this point, and it's kind of a waste because can't use those domes for anything but a stock bore/stock stroke. Will also pick up a set of paddles at some point and pop my dune cherry. Phase 2 early 2021: HJR 4mm set up with hot rods crank, dune port cylinders, and a cylinder head with domes cut for the stroker crank. I don't want to test my luck for too long on an unwelded stock crank. and if I'm getting cylinders ported.... Why not just do both lol. Plus the bottom end should be ready to rock for years to come. WHAT SIZE DOMES? Can I get away with 23cc domes on 91 at sea level? Phase 2.5 mid 2021: Shearer in frames and some kinda air box mod since they don't fit the stock box. Raw finish because I'm cheap like that. Phase 3 2022: 421 top end kit when it's time for a new top end if I feel like I need more power and/or the stock cylinders can't be saved (undecided on which way to go but till be assassin, cub, serval, or athena) and 35mm PWK to go with. Was not planning to do carbs before this point because I'm reading the stockers should be ok to 70hp or so. I don't think a 4 mil stock cylinder on pump gas is going beyond that, especially at my usual altitude of 3000-5000 ft. Would you suggest I do anything different along the way? Different order? Skip certain stuff? I feel like this is a logical progression that will leave me satisfied with noticeably more power at each step, limits down time of the machine, each step builds a foundation for the next, and spreads the expense out.
  3. Looking for used turbine cores. I'm in northern AZ Really don't even care if you cut them down to make shipping easier. Just want the silencer with the USFS stamp and I'll get them welded on my pipes
  4. I got further into the carbs. Has a 30 pilot jet, stock needle position 2, and pilot screw 1 and 1/8 out. Seems like a fat set up if it's just a pipe and filter lol.
  5. Hey guys. Just picked up a 93 banshee. I bought from a guy that lives at sea level in phoenix. I took it for a short rip up the street just to make sure it ran. I also ride a 130 whp speed triple so I really didn't know/don't know what I should expect power wise hopping on a banshee. But it seemed like it ran well. I didn't notice any bogging. I live around 5,000 feet. I plan on riding in areas anywhere from 4000-7000 feet. The PO didn't know much about the bike. He had like 3 2 stroke dirt bikes, fourtrax 250, quadzilla, etc. It was a very impressive garage lol. He said he bought the banshee as it was and never had to mess with it. He said when he bought it, the top end was just re-done. But he wasn't sure about any porting or anything. From what I can tell, I have FMF gold pipes (no other markings, just says gold) and silencers I can't identify. Big pro design foam filter and plate with the airbox lid removed. I can't tell if the reeds are stock or not. I traces of motoseal or some kind of gasket maker so I don't want to pull them off if there isn't a problem. I pulled the stator cover and it does not look like timing was changed or anything. Looks like the stock plate behind the flywheel. So anyway, the carbs were leaking gas out the overflow when I shut the bike off. I pulled them off to see what was up. I noticed the main jets were 330. That seems like a big jet for FMF pipes and a filter mod. Should I just start with those and do a plug chop when I get everything back together since I don't know the history of the bike? Seems like most people with these mods aren't even in the 300's for jet sizes.
