How Do I make My banshee faster

[banshee323]

I just bought this banshee, its a 97 on fmf gold series pipes, the head is stock and the its had tors removal and the addition of idle screws to the original mikunis. Whats the next step to making it faster before changing the head and engine, now I know I can get different carbs for it. but getting race ready carbs, will that effect my bike because the engine is stock? I just finished coming back from pismo beach, the bike rips.. but like eveybody else, I want the little extra edge around the people im riding with.

Adjustable timing plate is your best bang for your buck +4 is the norm

Get rid of the stock air box and snorkal

Send it to one of our sponsors and get it ported

Boost bottle if you want max hp

I only have fmf fattys with powercore 2 silencers k&n air filter with power lid, tors removal as well.

 

Just added the timig plate, and wow what a differance, bet mod you can get for $65

 

Boost bottle was sarcasm btw

I'm getting your right down to the point.

Port and 4 mil. From stock you'll be more then happy. After that suspension. Going fast is no good if you have no control.

First off, what use/uses is this bike going to see?

 

I agree with some of the above post. Timing advance will help you make a little more torque. But don't buy a boost bottle.

 

Pipes and portwork are your two biggest bang for your buck mods. Carbs and reeds are more supporting mods than power building mods, the stock carbs are capable of supporting more power than an unported stock cylinder motor will make. Your current pipes may be great depending on your riding environment, however there are pipes that will make more power and respond better to modifications if you plan to use it for aggressive duning or drag racing of some type.

[06BCBANSHEE]

Ya like the above said; it really depends on where and what riding you are doing. I found a banshee with a aftermarket filter, and pipes was enough power for the moment. So i went with spending all my money ( thousands) on suspension. I ride mostly trails, as well as some mx on the side. But if your doing mostly dune riding, fuck suspension and do a 4 mill with a port job.

 

Start with the timig plate, you cant get a better mod for as cheap as you spend

@06Banshee I think we have about the same.. power 2 silencers aswell, I think ill do the timing belt. & yeah boost bottle. Not my thing, I read in here that it sucked major. 65 bucks is what im looking to spend? +4 on the timing belt?

[06BCBANSHEE]

Its a timing plate, not a belt. It is very easy to install. It will really wake up the motor. After that your just gonna want more(. Like i do) you will be really happy with it tho. Boost bottle was sarcasm, mine had one, when i purchased it, and that was the firt thing to go. What riding do you?

[banshee323]

The banshee will be seeing nothing but dunes! and some drag racing here and there.. like I said I just came back from pismo beach out in california and the bike rips got beat by yfz's 2 of them.. other than that.. the bike was great.

[banshee323]

Okay timing plate.. and im also thinking about an intake system would that make a difference? where can I buy a timing plate at? is it easy enough to do it at home?

I looked this up on ebay.. is it this or something else?

[06BCBANSHEE]

Well then def start with the timing plate. After that break out your wallet and call 1 of the sponsors. A grand could get you smoking those yfz's no problem. Timing plate is simple, your gonna need a flwheel puller, and thats about it. There is prob a weite up on it here. Takes 15 mins to do.

[06BCBANSHEE]

Ya thats it, support one of the sponsors tho, alot of them are very reasonably priced, with much better customer service/ faster shipping

[banshee323]

Definitely willl when I get the money to buy the timing plate.. I don't shop ebay. I just look stuff up to get an idea..
