RooR Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Just got a pretty nice banshee on trade, I've always wanted one!! its pretty fast but I know there's a lot of things to do, to make these banshees faster... Right now the engine is stock, it has FMF SST pipes and silencers, V force 4 reeds and K&n filters, tors removed. to me it feels like the top end is going out, because of how easy it is to kick over... probably due to bad maintenance on the K&Ns i imagine... also it can be a little hard to start i wanna keep the parts that are already on it, but i have read that im somewhat limited with the SST Pipes... what can i do to get the most out of the shee and still keep the SST's?? What is going to give me the most noticeable difference... carbs, heads, timing, porting? I have $800 to spend on this for now Edited September 15, 2014 by RooR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandking Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Clean the carbs, do a compression check, leak down test, see where your at then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Porting and a different set of pipes. Mostly depends on what setup your looking for. Top end, low end, etc. First thing you need to do is a compression check on the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasi S. Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 x2 what everyone have said above + I would check the squish also, just to be sure that there is not too thick base gasket from previous owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
