Insted of buying all new stock parts to rebuild my shee it is cheaper to go with vito's 404 big bore kit. For now I will have to stick with the stock crank but later in the year I was thinking about getting Vito's pluse 4 stroker crank. Is all this a good choice? Will it run very good? I have FMF'S right now but will install T5's or T6's when I get the cash. Will the bike perform ok with the FMF's?

Hey,

 

 

I spoke to Vitos Shop. I asked the same questions you did. THey told me my fatties would be fine. So your SSTs should work. I dont really care for toomies...

 

My friends have them and I am not impressed..... :blink:

 

The point is you want the engine to breathe...... ;)

That would be a bad choice, and not cost effective to use the stock crank and later on plan to use a stroker. Do it all at once. The less times you have to split the cases the better. Unless you have nothign better to do with your time. it is not cheaper to get a 404 kit than to rebuild the motor. what did you do? burn up the top end? No biggie. Bore job-$40 per cylinder, often times cheaper. Piston kit, with gasket set-$145, even new upper rod bearings usually come with a Wiseco kit. I recomment Wiseco pistons. I would NEVER put stock pistons back in my bike. Do a search, and read up on it and make your decision between cast and forged. I have Fattys right now, and I love them. Great all around pipe. A T-6 or T-5 will give you wicked top end power, but you sacrifice your midrange to lower end of the RPM band. A stroker will get you some torque down low, and make more power really all around. I would save the 404 kit for when you are on your last bore of .100" over.

I just ask my buddy this question on the atv drag site, he said that youre better of investing in big bore cylinders, banshee transfers are too small for a 404 sleeves, I think this only applies to dragging though.

ive seen a 404 big bore in stock cylinders, you really dont have enought transfer area to make them flow correctly, they do have more torque than a 350 does but you can rebuild your top end as a 350 and get it ported and make more power than the 404 will because you will have more area for air to flow,

 

if you go big bore it would probably help you best to get big bore cylinders.

 

also if you go to a 4mill crank you will have to get your cylinders ported again (another 500 approx.) so it would be best for you to get it all done once and thats it.

 

hope this helps
