FMF Power Valve cylinder

[bitterbillybitchcakes]

Hi everyone

 

I came across this banshee on craigs list

 

it has a FMF Power Valve 410 Top End

 

is this a good cylinder? he said he bored it and it has 68 1/2 pistons in it

 

are these pistons still available ?

 

runs pump gas too

 

is this a good reliable engine setup

 

or will this big bore kit be a big head ache

 

$3850

 

 

Sand Ready '98 Yamaha Banshee Complete with Sand Gecko Rear Tires and flag holder. OHV license just renewed. This one is totally custom and titled. Built from the ground up in 2003. It has powdercoating throughout and too much chrome to list. The power plant has been updated to an FMF Power Valve 410 Top End which offers tremendous torque while maintaining unbelievable top end performance. The Banshee has FMF Fatty Pipes and Cascade Silencers. The add-on Six Pack Rack has been chromed. This Banshee has been garaged and pampered. It is a MUST SEE! Sorry no trades.

 

 

 

 

 

thanks

Yes fmf makes a powervalve cylinder.pretty good trail cylinder i'm told

 

You can also still get the pistons for them

[bitterbillybitchcakes]

i'm going to try and do a compression test on it

 

it runs pump gas does any one know what the psi should be?

 

are the spark plugs 14mm or are they bigger

 

thanks

I guess the cylinder is actually made by dasa racing

A older guy i run with sometimes, has that same cyl with a 4mil crank and it's a BEAST on the logging roads, trails and pit riding we ride.

 

I want that same setupfor mine, hopefully next year. :thumbsup:

 

I say go for it man.

I believe they are very similat to the t-rex setups if not the same.

 

tdr stocks all the o-rings and pistons

They are old technology but good.

looks just like the pv's on my sno-go. just uses the exhaust pressure, and you can adjust, so none of that servo controller crap. doubt it has the topend of a servo pv, but deffinately better than stock

[bitterbillybitchcakes]

he has the title for it but since he powder coated the frame it has no VIN number

 

he said when it was sand blasted it took it off.

 

will this be a big deal? say if i'm at the dunes and there is no VIN on it can i be harassed ?

 

is this a common problem cause there is a lot of banshees with powder coated frames

The FMF cylinders are actually just T-Rex cylinders with FMF's name on them........ :thumbsup:

Dasa stocks everything for them. Dasa calls it a 409 kit and the compression should be around 160psi +/-. I have the same setup.
