Banshee vs 450?

[VictorK]

As you know Im new to the site Ive had my 97 Banshee for 2 weeks and its been stripped and painted already Im about to put it together.My go fast mods for now are timing plate set at 4 degrees,gnarly pipes with power core 2 silencers,boost bottle,TORS eliminators and 310 mains/27.5 pilots,power reeds,clamp on filters and I have 60 over wisecos on the way and Im gonna run 13/41 sprockets.Now my buddy who is the one to beat has a YFZ450 with full HMF exaust and high compression piston running 110 fuel,what do I need to get him on pavement and dirt? My other buddys Banshee gets him about every 1 out of 3 races and hes not ported and has 19cc domes.just looking for a rough estimate from somebody whos run a lot of races

if you get out of the hole hard with the proper gearing, you will take him every time. if hes just a better rider and is getting the holeshot, then you might be screwed. stay away from the dirt against him. the 4 strokes dont have the wheel speed that the banshees do and get better traction off the line, unless youre set up perfectly for dirt.

 

i would lose the boost bottle to as they have been known to crack the intake boots. they dont do anything anyway.

Lose the boost bottle? What is it a gimmick like the old answer roost boost ignition? Haha I'm gonna do a 4 mil stroker and porting but that's not for a while I like to think when I do he's done haha

I would change the front sprocket to a 14 or 15t. Also depends on what size tire's your running. One of my banshee's I running 15/ 41 with 18'' tire's.

I would change out your gearing to a 15 tooth too. x2 on keep it on the pavement.

The boost bottle is a gimmick. I remember awhile back someone did a dyno test with a boost bottle and without. Without made more power.

I currently have 15/45 that's how it came I scored a parts banshee today that was stolen and set on fire it has the stock sprockets so I have those not to mention a complete motor for free!
