  1. Upgrade path for my 2003 Banshee?

    Now I have to do some work on it.  I said low hours in the first post because I got it new and didn't take it out much.  I replaced the original tires after a few month twenty years ago, and those replacements still have  most of their tread.  Took it to little Sahara once and local trails and lake dunes probably like 15 times. Also have another set of paddle tires I'd swap out for the Dunes, so they shared some wear, but they still look new.  The original brake pads hardly had any wear.  I just replaced them with YFZ450 brakes.

    But I ran it enough it has a stuck ring and light marks on the cylinder and lightly scuffed pistons.  I lost 20 pounds of compression on the left cylinder last week after like a one hour ride then it wouldn't start after getting flooded the next day, so I pulled the head and saw the stuck ring.  It was a dune port with 19cc domes on race gas.  Then it had VF2's, but when I checked them, one of the reeds was starting to fray, so it had enough wear.   

    So I gotta do something.  Hopefully not having to buy new carbs.  I'd rather get a stroker crank.

    Can I run those Assassin cylinders on 28mm Keihin PWKs?  What's the biggest displacement I can run with my carbs bruh?

    Hey thanks for the answers before!

     

    Your best bet is to call a builder and tell them your budget and want you want

  13. HJR 510 motor build issues, please help

    The bike is still with him, he said it might take a while to get it figured out so im thinking maybe a month or 2. He assembled the motor in the bike, I will check to make sure the stingers arn't backwards when I get it back. He did put some spacer on one of the front exhaust hangers so that the pipe would clear the top of the cool head, maybe the spacers are bending that part in a weird angle? If I can't get the pipe to clear I'll order some Cascade exhaust heat wraps to see if it will keep it from melting the filters again. 

    I don't know anything about motor building but I will ask my regular mechanic they know how to do the UCCR test. When I picked up my bike last time he said the 32 domes are 12.5 to 1 compression. I think I will be able to manage the squish test.

    I already spent a bunch of money with him building this motor, I'm hoping he can get it figured out so I won't have to spend more sending it out, but I might have to at the end of the day.

     

    TBH, it's ridiculous he's making you wait on fixing his issue. Busy or not, you should be a priority. 

    I might get flamed for saying this, but HJR has always seemed to be a 3rd rate builder. 

  15. Banshee Exhaust Choice

      Here’s the deal - My neighbor has a basically stock 1998 Banshee all except a complete Bills exhaust system and I recently installed a Pro Design Pro Flow K&N filter kit to replace the oem filter setup because the filter was totally shot. Now the biggest problem is the pipes are shot. They are rusty and pitted and he tried to wire wheel the rust off and now that the rust is off there’s hundreds of pin holes now. So he’s shopping for a new complete exhaust system but he can’t decide on which brand to get. He said that his budget is roughly a $1,000 give or take. He rides his Banshee with me and the riding condition is some fast trail riding and open sand/gravel quarry with a couple hill climbs. I told him about all the brands that are out there and I told him that I would get him some more opinions about it. So please post your opinions. 
     

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah he said he ran it. I dropped it back off to him yesterday morning he said he was going to look into it but may take a while to get it figured out. Ill look into the UCCR and squish test if it is still not running right when I get it back. 

    On a side note, do you guys have any suggestion on how I can get my intake to clear the exhaust. I tried putting header wrap on the exhaust to prevent it from melting but that didn't work as planned.

    Send it off to someone else. Did he assemble the the motor in the bike? Check to make sure your stingers aren't backwards (wrong sides). They should be THAT close to the filters.

  21. Dyno vs plug chop

    I was thinking about getting my cub jetted by Louie at twister crank but someone told me that dyno jetting gets you peak hp and isn't necessarily good jetting for longevity. Would the plug chop method be better? I could do the main no problem but I'm not confident choosing the right needle.

    Out the man who told you this!
