YFZ hybrid

[Ryder25]

My brother and I built this hybrid 2 years ago for ice racing. It has been absolutely amazing. But now, we want to put a banshee motor in it for the 2013 ice racing season. I've joined the forum because I've seen a few conversions, and I want to find a motor and learn more about the best way to build a TT banshee motor.

 

I'm not afraid to cut apart the frame to get this thing to fit nicely. I've got a few spare frames to play with too.

I see people are wanting rolling chassis. I've got a complete stock rolling chassis for sale as well, I'll post pics of that soon. Its an 06 stock chassis with 12.8 hours on trails (hour meter), stole motor out of it and it has sat ever since.

Nice bike man. Im building a banshee to flattrack now. The yfz shee hybrids have got to be the best of both worlds! Where you from?

Looking forward to your banshee install pics

[Ryder25]

Its going to take a while. I still have to find a banshee motor, haha. I joined this site to get some help in that department. But it WILL be done by January.

what engine is in it now? looks like a clean setup.

[camatv]

looks like candy blue..

 

looks like a crf450 motor.

[Ryder25]

trx450r motor (06+ style).

I can't remember the blue color.

 

I'm not replacing this engine, just building another quad almost identical to this with a banshee engine. I won't have the ti a-arms or aluminum axle on my hybrid but most everything else is going to be the same.

How goes your conversion ?

[camatv]

sweet!  what motor did you go with?  twister? la-sleeve?  kinda hard to tell (kinda)

 

throw up some more pictures!   always nice to see one built with a little care.

[Ryder25]

Thanks camatv.  I really went through your pictures and did things as cleanly as possible.

 

I didn't take any other pictures.  It was a supposed to be a very secretive build for this ice racing season.

I'll have pictures up in about a week with more details.

[camatv]

sweet.  it really is worth it to take a little more time and try to make these look good.

 

can't wait to hear a race report" also  ha ha

I am so fucking stoked to see a big motor hybrid set up for Ice Racing! I actually saw one of your links on the TRX site while just browsing for the local racers and was trying to get that video where you go from last to first to upload. Then I saw the pics of the new hybrid and had to get here to check it out. Man Ryder, you sure can keep a secret! Let me know what that thing does.
