New banshee owner

[kevman41635]

Hey guys, i just got a banshee over the weekend and have never messed with a 2 stroke at all, but all that is done to it is a dyno port 2 in 1 pipe and a foam air filter, been jetted up to i think he said 272 main jets not sure on the rest of the carb, what i mainly do is trail ride and play a little with racing in the dirt and on pavement. I was wondering what i should do next to it, it runs really good and pulls good, but i dont hear great things about the 2 in 1 pipe, i am going to add the timing plate next. One other thing is my buddie has a kfx 400 and it is hard for me to out run him in the dirt but on pavement it is no race, so what is the best thing to do to help these in the dirt? Alot of questions lol but thanks guys.

well it has some pretty new razor knock offs, yeah sounds like i just need to get used to the throttle, i was trying to rev it and drop the clutch a bit to keep it up in the rpms, cause that is what the guy that had it before me told me to do with it.

Welcome to BHQ.

 

I have no experience with the 2 into 1 pipe set up. But for trail riding, I prefer pro-circuits..they are by far my favorite low to mid pipe.

 

You really need to ask yourself how much your wanting to build it?

 

A timing plate is a good $40 spent. Get your head milled, or get a cool head with the right domes. If your not riding in water at all, I always run no air box on all my bikes. MAKE SURE you properly jet with any mods that change air or fuel flow...like pipes, filters, reeds, porting...etc.

i dont really think that i will ever bore it and stuff i may do port work, so when i was looking at the heads i would need the 66mm, and what cc dome size would u suggest?

[kevman41635]

Do you mean you need 66mm pistons?

 

Boring the cylinders doesnt overly give you more power... people bore then when the pistons damage the walls... thats all....

 

If you do plan on buying a cool head...between 20 and 22 CC will be good for you...

 

I was looking on here and i just thought that you needed a head the matched the bore of the cyl. http://www.bansheedepot.com/proddetail.asp?prod=21-5700

 

Yeah i was just meaning i dont think i will by doing the big bore and all that to it, i dont care to bore it because of wear and that kinda stuff

X2. If your looking for more power you need to start with some basic bolt ons first....Good pipes, Filters, Reeds, Timing Plate, Cool Head (i prefer Noss)..... then if your wanting more, some porting and carbs will wake that beast up. I'd recommend calling Brandon or Shay from Wildcard... his port work is flawless. Or any site sponsor you feel comfortable with.
