banshee yz490 basket

[thesoultaker2117]

Ive got a mod for you guys on limited funds.....i stumbled on to this by total accident. Take a yz 490 basket and crank gear and a little different washer spacing, using a banshee inner hub and youll have straight cuts. Now it may not be fine on high horse power motors but should work great on low hp up to 80hp. You will need to use the 490 fibers but other than that the mod worked great and is now in my buddies trail bike.

Does it matter what year it comes from?

And is the ratio the same? My motor is only like 65 horse so I don't need it.

I believe the ratio is the same. I had it in my 421 cub 3 yrs ago. I remember counting the teeth. The gears are just shy the same thickness. The basket is different and where as it may not be necessary for motors under a 100hp, thats still unwanted crank pressure. And if you are concerned about the basket, im sure aftermarket 490 baskets can still be found as years ago they used to be the bike of choice for drag racing

I even had a yz490 and never noticed this

 

 

But,

 

465/490 parts are hard to find in decent shape if at all it seems. You are dealing with parts that are older than the Banshee shit so its also a crap shoot. After market basket? Good luck!

Aftermarket basket = $150 and readily available. No mods necessary.

IDK but my YZ465 basket is helical cut.
