Roo-ease Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 so I just bought a 2005 Yamaha banshee off a guy on craigslist and I was wondering what he was going for. the bike came with Noss Performance Cool Head, trinity stage 4 2 in 1 intake with kehin carb, K&N Filter trinity outwear sock and Toomey t 6 pipes. any idea how many cc's it could be sitting at. Also in the process of cleaning it up and taking off all the stickers I came across a hot rod cranks sticker. anyways how can I tell if it actually has one and if it is long or short rod..I want to get it bored and I need to know what kind of pistons I need to get. -thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camp0429 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Only way to know what kind of crank you got is by having it apart. Why do you want to bore it? Dont bore unless you have too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 You'll gain nothing having it bored, if it doesn't need a top end rebuild done. Having your cylinders ported is what you want to do, instead of boring it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo-ease Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 they guy I bought it from couldn't remember the last time he had the top end rebuilt and on top of that, the compression on the right cylinder doesn't seem to great. while I have it at idle you can feel a significant difference on the pressure coming out of the right silencer and it doesn't seem to have any leaks along the exhaust pipes. but then again I could be missing something else.

camp0429 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Do a compression test and see where your at. Since its new to you it would be wise to remove and clean carbs, write down jet sizes and do a leakdown while your at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo-ease Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 haha yeah the guys only reason for having a single carb set up was only having to deal with one. what are the pros and cons to having a single carb? other than only having to deal with one.

locogato11283 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 There aren't really any pros to a single carb. Dual carbs will always make more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
