vabanshee Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Hi , i am new to this forum and i am not sure if i am posting in the right place or not but i need some advice . I have a 2006 Yamaha banshee thats brand new with very low hours & original top end . It has v-force reeds , stock cool head , toomey t-6 pipes which i have learned arent the best for a modded banshee & K& N filter with the power lid . I have friends that has a raptor 700 & a friend with a Renegade 800 both of which are slightly modded with exhaust & filter mods . I want a banshee that will outrun them if possible but i dont want a fully modded banshee that i have to work on all the time . I dont mind running race gas but i want a faster bike with good reliablity & good motor life if possible . I thought about port work alone & possibly changing my dome size on my cool head but would that do enough for me to beat my buddies ? I dont need a top fuel dragster but i would like to have more power on tap . I also wanted to know who does good motor work ?? Once i figure out what to do then i need to find a good builder to send my stuff to . any advice would help , thanks Quote
jbooker82 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 A port job is the next big increase after pipes. What type of terrain do you ride in? Any mud or water? I would ditch the whole air box and run 2 k&n's clamped right on the carbs. Quote

F.T.W. Banshee Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Do you have a cool head or to use have a stock head Quote
vabanshee Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Posted January 6, 2009 Do you have a cool head or to use have a stock head I have a cool head with stock domes on it now but i also have the original stock head that is practically brand new . Quote
deckheight Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Get a set of 19cc domes and run 100 octane fuel and see how you like that. 100 octane top ends are a nice "recreation" compression and are relatively easy on the crank, etc. Plus you get a really decent performance increase. :biggrin: Then if you need more check into the porting... :biggrin: :biggrin: Quote

I also got a message from someone on here that said to call Jim at Passion racing & he could help me out . I called him a he seems like a nice guy & very knoweledgable . Has anyone on here every had work done by him ? Quote

I have heard horror stories of people sending there stuff out and not being happy I agree with that i have heard lots of those stories also. If you tell us were you are located i am sure someone could tell you who is close to you. You really want someone that is going to be there after the build for you. I have heard great things about F.A.S.t and i have heard good things about Passion also. I have personally used Redline Racing and he is a great guy and is always there to answer any questions you might have. There is more out there it really just depends on were you are at. Quote
