Yfz450 chassis or 450r chassis?

[HomesteadBanshee]

From one 21 year old to another, you are way behind bud.

I highly doubt it dude you don't even know me so w.e you say, I'm just trying to get info that's all because I was reading in other places but this form like yfz central and

the people in there said it wasn't to hard.so I wanted some info from some real banshee people that have done the swap.

You still haven't read what people have told you to. It seems your mind is made up. Your gonna cobble together this mess, then start another thousand threads on how to do stuff, why stuff won't work, how would we do it, where to get this part made, and what's the best way to do this. Yeah I can see it all now.

GO READ WACKO2000 THREAD. Pay close attention to sleeper06. See what he has to say. Then maybe, just maybe you'll get a clue.

guys I'm taking your advice I'm steering away from this swap I'm just going to focus on getting another banshee and i been thinking lately of a 250r it's not a banshee but atleast a 2 stoke.

I'm just curious how did you guys find the correct Pivot point and also countershaft aligned properly?

I mounted the swingarm in the frame, and then had the motor squared away in the frame suspended by rods.  Then the motor was slid left/right on the threaded rods (adjustment done by moving nuts along the rods on either side of case half) and the mounts were tacked in place.  I used a junk bottom end to do the work.  I lined up the sprockets with a straight edge on the face of each sprocket.

I sighted mine by eyeball.

loco you did? I heard somewhere on another forum you had to make a jig and all to keep in straight.

Nope. All you have to do is mount it up , get on your hands and knees behind the bike , use your pointer finger and thumb in the shape of an ell (LEFT HAND ONLY) and gently place it on your forehead.

Why don't you just buy my Honda frame? It's already set up for the motor.

Sweet you guys were not lying when you said its complicated.also I heard about the pivot angle has to be right or something I could be explaining it wrong like that but it has to do with i think the angle of the chain or something but I could be wrong..anyway you guys can give me a schooling.. Lol

[sprinklerman]

Like this ( this example is using the right hand method).

How much are you asking for the 450r frame?also I noticed once you told a guy that you would mock a yfz frame for him if I'm interested in that how much would you say it would be?

would you say the swap is not worth the work? Has it been reliable to you?

[Ryder25]

It was worth the work if only to beat the other hybrid we built.  But I've done this a couple times.  The yfz/trx-motor quad below was over 12k (titanium a-arms, aluminum adjustable +2/+2 RPM axle, titanium bolt kit, ect: 312lbs with 1 gallon gas).  I'm putting my banshee/yfz up for sale this winter.

 

 

 

 

There is nothing "unreliable" about a good setup.
