Agressive trail port, Toomey pipes, port the stock reed cages and get some carbon petals, wiseco piston, re-jet it, pod filter. Do your research and you can get all that for under a grand use the change to find some after market shocks. Blasters are banshee's little brother so they are pretty simular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 that is what i needed to know thanks for the help. ok, that bike has a pretty predominant torque setup already, but you can start with porting the stock cage, put some boysen prostock pedals on. that stoch pipe will hang out on both the top and bottom end if you change out the stock silencer for something better. you can bolt some yfz suspension parts strait on, i don't remember exactly what, because it's been several years, but i would first concentrate on getting that rear swinger to squat far down as you can when you take off, while keeping it high normally, or you will end up on your ass more than you can use the power in tight spaces (my back is still messed up) put some 22's on the back. set up your handle bars so you can almost kiss the front bumper, because you will need it occasionally. proper jetting is a must. i have rode mine in verry tight trails, up hill climbing, beach racing, high speed dirt road (up hill with switchbacks) if you start going too aggresive with the mods, you will loose alot of low end, and trail abilities, being left with something similar to a stock banshee when it's maxxed out, but you already have a banhee, and that would defeat the purpose. it's a fun little bike that you can really throw around, and will get you out of so many spots, that you'll forget it's 2wd. one thing i was gonna try out, is installing a 250cc resonator to the intake boot to clean up the low end, but will have to rejet :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
