Banshee Sprockets

[BansheeTeam]

Hey everyone I run a 06 stock banshee i have no mods what so ever, however i do run trail tech vapor, nerf bars, DND spacers, Renthal handlebars, and had my banshee painted. I wish to start moding it i know about them toomey pipes and all but i still don't have enough cash cause i just turned 16 i've noticed my chain is almost wearied out so i've decided to change my chain and both front and rear sprockets from 14/41 to 15/42 is that a good idea? What will be my gains? top and bottom or just top or bottom. According to the trail tech vapor my banshee hit 127.4 km/h (79 mp/h) on a straight road this other guy on bansheeHQ clocked his stock banshee 124 km/h (77) and got 132 km/h (82) after going one tooth up on the front sprocket (15) Some guy told me that i'll have to tune the bike if i'm changing the sprockets. Hopefully i'll install T5 pipes a K&N air filter V Force reeds 3 and Jets someday.

 

Thanks

When you go up a tooth on the front you get more top speed, but itll take more power to turn the bigger sprocket so youll loose some acceleration. As for mods. If your on a budget, id do pipes, reeds, and air filter, run without the airbox lid, thats a difference itsself. But youll have to rejet it because youll have more air. Youll need more fuel to mix with more air. If your running pump gas, run like 93 or more octane. Run a good quality oil and check your plugs when you begin modding. Make sure you start out rich and lean it out slowly. Good luck with your banshee. There are unlimited mods for it!

14/41 yields a final ratio of 2.98 and 15/42 will get you a 2.8. I don't think a stock bike has the power to pull the 15/42 anywhere other than on flat solid ground. If you are in soft sand or climbing hills, it will be a turd.

Welcome to Bansheehq bro! When you build your banshee, its only as good as it runs and handles. Keep it clean and reliable. Youve got a good start on comfort mods, just remember, its a trail shee. Dont try and make it a drag shee and ride it in tight trails. It wont be fun at all! Seen that several times in my area. Good luck!

Hey there buddy i would just like to say i've installed my toomey T5's V-force reeds 3 and a k&n with the airbox no snorkel and run a dynojet (moose racing) 270 main with the needle 15/41 gearing runs great tops out around 138 km/h 85.6 mp/h pulls really hard amazing pipes and sound i was wondering what other basic mods can i do. I was thinking a cool head maybe a boost bottle or the dual air filter later on with a bigger jet. I'm more into accessories now i want to keep my bike safe and healthy.
