Fernando Loya Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Ok so im looking into rebuilding my 2003 banshee. Everything is stock except for pipes throttle cable and clutch cable. I want a fast bike that i can still take out on trails. Can anyone think on a kit or put one together that would be best for me Quote
oh3shee Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 The only place I have to ride are trails, mostly tight ones at that. I added +2 A-arms and it made a big difference in cornering. Im not on the brakes as much cause I know I can take a turn faster now. Quote
Pasi S. Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Fast?....how fast ? ...you can also put it in USD´s if you like. 2000$ fast is faster than 1000$ fast. Quote
tfaith08 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Posted October 31, 2014 Decent arms, works shocks (or better if you can afford it), revalved rear shock, good tires. What pipes do you have? +2 on budget. Quote
pattheriault Posted October 31, 2014 Report Posted October 31, 2014 +2+1 Suspension 4mil with a dune port CPI or shearer like other said it all come down to your budget for this build Quote
RagunCajun Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Shearers for a trail engine? No. Quote
pattheriault Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Open trail yes. Tight trail maybe not Quote
tfaith08 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Dirt roads, maybe. Open trail maybe not. Tight trails absolutely not. Fixed. Quote
Fernando Loya Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Posted November 5, 2014 Sorry it took me a while to get on my phone was being stupid. So far i got some elka stage4 for my front suspension i got a really good deal from a local person. My budget for now is $800. But i want to rebuild the engine before i do anything else. With that said should i go bigger in my pistons or stay the same? My engine is all stock but will take it apart before odering anything Quote
Bennett131 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Do not get bigger pistons unless you absolutely need a bore. Quote
tfaith08 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Leak test, compression check, then tear the head off to check the bore. No need to tear everything down if it doesn't need it. +1 on not boring for performance. Quote
Fernando Loya Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Posted November 5, 2014 Ok so i got some idea of what to do now. Im going to do just the top end. I got 75 compression and 60 on the right cylinder. But the bike does not feel that bad. It does take a while to build power but it gets there. Now for the elkas i will see them this weekend and they are currently on a warrior will they work good on the banshee and what type of a arms will i need to run? If i do not need a bore would i just need to get it honed and buy same piston size right? Quote
sprinklerman Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 If i do not need a bore would i just need to get it honed and buy same piston size right?Send to reputable builder, let them decide what bore size/piston size is needed.You cant measure a bore without proper tools. A reputable builder will have proper tools. Quote
