ric-ross1 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 i took my banshee motor to my machine shop and they said that the crank is no good, they dont do the pressing crank or whatever it is but i had to get new rods, pistons either way so i might aswell just go ahead and get me a stroker kit and make the thing even faster =). Now i searched and people go with 4 mil or hot rods so i guess it would be up to me but i have a question what would you guys recommend me? I have fmf pipes, stock jugs but i want to rebore little bigger since im getting a stroker kit,the engine is stock really but i would like to hear from the pros and experienced people. This wont be a race banshee so i dont want to spend and spend when i will ride it sometimes not all the time. Quote
ric-ross1 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 this is what i had in mind really but if i get this one what would i need to run it, i know i would need pistons but what specific model? Long rod 4mm stroker crankshaft with 115mm rods Quote
upandgone Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Depends on the money you want to spend, just bought a used 4 mil, new 795 pistons, used noss head with domes and am having it ported. I am at about 1300 dollars. Probably will need some more odds and ends, but alot to shell out at once. But Its a good time to do it if you have to take it all apart anyways:) Quote
ric-ross1 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 ^ thanks, the thing is i want to get her running, the motor is at the machine shop getting worked on right now so i was thinking of getting a stroker kit and maybe 65mm pistons and keep the other parts stock with a cool head for the mean time since i can just get bigger carbs eventually.

Nieskes Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 What is your bore size at now? Don't go wasting bore's if you don't need to. Quote
ric-ross1 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 ^ is stock bore 64mm and the walls just need a hone to be honest with you. Quote
87BRBanshee Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I would save as much bore as i could, why throw away some life? Quote
Nieskes Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 ^ is stock bore 64mm and the walls just need a hone to be honest with you. Then there is no need to go to 65mm you will not gain much, if anything from it. Quote
ric-ross1 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 thanks guys, yea the guy at the shop told me he is going to check if i can just hone them instead of going bigger, but asfar as the crank a trued and welded crank, with stock size pistons, cool head and stock carbs is good for sume fun?

Nieskes Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Along with some porting from a site sponsor and possibly some 28pwks, it should be a fun bike for sure. Quote
ric-ross1 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 ^ right now i will do the porting and get it running then get some 28 pwks down the road. thanks nieskes. Quote
2strokeshees Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 I'll recommend HJR for the port unless your decent with a dremmal... Quote
