banshee rebuild

[CFH87]

I just got this banshee and I already want more. I was useing this bike mostly for trail rideing. Would a 4 mill crank, 28mm carbs, v force 3 reeds, weisco pistons, and toomy t5 pipes with an adjustable timeing plate set at +4 be enough to give me white knuckels on the trails? I plan on doing a total rebuild of the bike with a fresh powder coat and an oversize radiator.

yea that will make for a decently quick bike.....but what kind of trail riding do you do?? tight technical trails or trails that are decently wide and let you smack the throttle hard? if your ridin a mix then i might suggest the FMF Fatty pipes....they have more low end power which works great for slightly tighter trails. T5's tend to have a better mid to top when pull. so they would be ideal for trails where your able to wind out your shee. either choice is a good one though! And welcome to the great world of the Banshee....theres ALOT of people on here that can help with just about everything...

Its going to be way easier to call them up and order a new motor for sure, but to truly appreciate your bike, and to save $, buy a manual (CLYMER) and build your motor your self. If you are at least somewhat technical, it will guide you thru it. I just built my motor using the book, and Im no mechanic. You can buy from the for sale section, and use the forum if you get stuck. This is the place to be to complete an engine for yourself. I built my motor with good aftermarket parts, including new cylinders for less than $1000, and what I learned along the way will help me out if anything ever goes wrong. Just my $.02!
