Gshock Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Sold my 04 YFZ450 and purchased a low hour 05 blue Banshee. I used to ride piped Banshees in the early 90's and I couldn't stand it no longer. All my buddies have YFZ450s, 450rs, 660 Raptors, and a 525 Polaris Outlaw. (I wanted to be different) They think Banshees are out dated and slow. I currently have my cylinders at F.A.S.T. racing and I am having the dune port job installed. I am installing +4 timing, cool head with either 20cc or 21cc domes, V-force 3s, 13 tooth front sprocket, Wicked a arms, G-force axle, shocks, stock carbs, and stock stroke crank (pump gas). We ride mostly at Little Sahara OK and on my 160 acre farm. I think I am at about 1300 feet. I don't intend on having my buddies hand me my ass. Will this do the job???? Thanks for any input-Gshock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyown Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 what pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 What pipes you running? You should go with the 20cc domes and still be able to run pump. I dont think any of them will be handing you your ass, be to busy trying to catch your ASS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98_shee Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 You shouldn't have any problems with the 450's, you should get a set of bigger carbs too. Where are you from i also ride at LS? Welcome to BHQ :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For got to add that I am running FMF Fatty's. Just purchased a new set of head pipes off ebay for $127. Allready had silencers. Most all of the four strokes are only piped and jetted.

Banshee~ Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) You probably will need to run 21cc domes if you are going to use 91 octane pump gas (id talk to whoever does your port job). I would put a 14 tooth front sprocket on there at least (I run a 15 with a less hp setup). Also, you might think about upgrading the carbs to take full advantage of the dune port.

I was considering upgrading the carbs to 33pwk while Jeff has them on sale. But right now I am really looking for the best bang for my buck and I was not sure how much more hp they would gain over properly sync'd and jetted stock carbs. The bad thing about purchasing new carbs is I also need larger intakes and that means another $400 to $500 total. I am definetly wanting to run 91 octgane.

2001Stroker Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 +4 on the bigger carbs. That port job is gonna want more flow. Talk to Jeff, and see what he reccommends for you. I would say at least a set of 29's, maybe even some 33's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumpaD_Z28 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) You will outrun them EASY !!! My '99 Banshee with just MINOR mods (T5's, milled head for elevation, Boysen's, K&N's, gearing) ... Would outrun my buddies Raptor 700 easily, and also the LT450R's ... I was only about 1 bike length behind a LT450R with high comp pistons and hot cams (pipes and K&N's also) Then FINALLY after HOURS and HOURS of ridding time it finally needs a top end rebuild, it was slowing down Then a piston decided to have a hole in it ... ~DaVe Edited December 31, 2008 by BumpaD_Z28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebanshee Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I think T-5s would copliment your set up better than fatties, just my 2 cents :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
