87twin350 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I actually started a new thread in the jetting forum but I figured I'd give an update. Took the banshee out about a month ago for its maiden voyage and it actually ran great, but once I got back, I did a compression test when I noticed I could push my kick starter down with a finger. 70PSI. Did a top end rebuild with WSM Platinum series pistons (after reading a few threads about the majority having no issues) and added VForce4 Reeds. I also did the +4 degree timing mod. I rejetted my carbs to 27.5 pilots and 300 Mains. Just got back from the second trip and the break in went great. First three days of riding all day long I kept it nice and cool with fairly low RPM's and checked the coolant constantly. Last day I gave it some solid runs up Test Hill at Gordon's Well and she rips. Stomped on some YFZ450's and a DS650. On a side note, if anyone in San Diego area is looking for a great guy to get their cylinders bored/honed, Floyd's Machine Shop on El Cajon boulevard does a phenomenal job at a very fair price. Motoworld of El Cajon actually takes their bore jobs there, so if you go direct you cut the price in half. ? Now my newest question is, will a 200W stator keep my headlights brighter at more than just near WOT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03DMshee Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 If you want bright headlights all the time ya gotta do a DC conversion...there is a lot of good write ups on this site explaining that process... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am used to the whole dimming of headlights, but on my 250Rs they are bright just after idle. With my banshee I have to be almost WOT. There's no way I can make it similar to the 250R?

willaduncan Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 The dc conversion is so easy there's no reason not to do it get a 20 dollar battery A trailtech regulator/rectifier and a 200w DC stator from Gary (sheerider1026) and a dc harness from kompulsive concepts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
