dco3100 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Me and a buddy were just racing, I was on my 2000 shee in my sig and my buddy was on his 501cc YFZ big bore with inframe drag pipe, +6 swinger, cams, ported, the works and from the jump we were neck and neck, when I shift to 5th is when I start pulling away, end of the race hes at my rear tire(300-500ft, give or take) :cool: . I know I shouldnt be beating him with my stock stroke! Or at least I think its stock. The guy I bought the bike from didnt know too much about bikes and he bought it from a guy in atlanta who never mentioned anything about a oversized crank. I just inspected it and I dont see any spacer plates beneath the cylinders so I pretty much ruled out a longrod 4mil, but how would I be able to tell what size I have?? Quote
LiftdT4R Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) You wouldnt see a spacer plate most of the time because the better way to build a stroker is to have the cylinders ported for the longer crank. I don't have a stroker and I wouldnt know how to tell without opening it up, but maybe someone else will chime in that does. Judging by your sig it sounds like you have quite a bit of work done to the bike, and Banshees do pull hard so I'm thinking even without a stroker, you should be pretty close to beating that bike, depending on the rider too of course.

banshee_terror_ Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 you cant tell because you have an aftermarket head with aftermarket removable domes. wich means the domes could be cut for the pistons to slide in side them. that way you wouldnt have the spacer plate and couldnt see the domes unless you cracked the motor open or just took the head off Quote
banshee_terror_ Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 and i just wana say how do you not know this when your 2009 banshee sounds so nasty. i just hate peaple like that. no offense but peaple who have nasty shit and dont know what it is about or does or any of that anoyes me. Quote
SandRageShee Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 You can tell, pull the head, if the pistons come up over the cylinder you have a stroker. Quote

No you dont hate the fact that I dont know EVERY shortcut, your just jealous as hell and you wish you had that monster. And by the way, I do know my fair share, but I havent had my shees for 10 yrs like some ppl on here and I know opening the cases would definately tell me what I have, but I wanted to know a quicker, easier way just like the sandrage said, if the piston clears the cyl its a stroker, BIG HELP! Ill be pullin off the head soon Edited June 14, 2009 by dco3100 Quote

wacko2000 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Your 09 shee sounds badass. Where are the pics Bro Quote
dco3100 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Posted June 14, 2009 Your 09 shee sounds badass. Where are the pics Bro Ill try that volfan, thanks. And ill be posting pics of the 00 and current progress of the 09 sometime this week Quote
RagunCajun Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 with so many variables, you just never know. If i was about to watch the race, ida put money on the yfz. Although if you can get a ported banshee to hook off the line and throughout the race, it's a pretty decent drag bike for something not drag/track only specific. Quote

Ill be pullin off the head soon im just saying if you knew anything seeing how you have a 10mill you would know something about a stroker but you dont. ive only had my shee for like 6 months and know more than you about a stroker when i have a stock stroke bike.

If you had some better pipes it wouldn't even be close. My friends with banshees that have basically the same stuff as you whoop on 500cc big bore 4 strokers on the hill all day. Quote
