yodamonkey64 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 hi guys ok i bought my banshee from a guy that prolly couldnt tell the difference from a moped and a ducatti 999 so he didnt know much. i paid $2400 and im 16 so im not an expert but i know my motors. anyway he said it was drag ported but idk if it actually was. it has toomey t-5's, a paul turner duncan motor. he said it was shipped to a speed shop and built. toomey clutch? pro designs cool head. pro design 17 domes. LRD tranny. boyeson power reeds and boyeson valves. wiseco pistons. k&n pod filters. thats about all the performance stuff he told me about. its fast no doubt but ive seen videos of banshees that would rape mine no prob in a race. i can burn out in 4th from dead stop. i just thought that was kinda fun. anyway how can i tell if its ported or not. when i got it it ran around 100 with 16 44 gearing with 22" tires on it. it now has 13-41 gearing. iw as also wondering if anyone knows where i can get cheap headlights and a front bumper or if any of you have used ones that you would wanna pass on for some $$. thanks guys. ride hard Justin Quote
Bansheeman1121 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Its probably got sone port work done if it ran 100 mph with ease, i dont no if its a full drag port but runnin the t-5s on a built motor probably isnt helpin the cuase, but yeah id guess the ports are somehwat worked from stock. Quote
superchicken Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 pull off the carbs,intakes and reed cages,and youll see if its ported.the only way to really know. scott Quote
baddboyy21 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 How do you know it ran about 100mph? What did you use to determine the speed. A calculation of your 16/44 gearing and 22" tires says you should be doing about 85mph in 6th gear. As the others said..you would have to look at the intakes to see if they are bigger than stock. You should be able to notice the difference just by looking. If it was ported it should probably have a timing advance also, and with those domes I'm thinking it should definitely be running race gas. Quote
SANDSTAR Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 Take a carb off. Remove the reed cage. Look inside the intake. Black painted= Not Ported Bright Aluminum that looks like someone took a dremmel to it= Ported If you are running 100MPH, you must have a moderate ammount of engine work done. You need to know and understand these modifications before you do damage to the motor. Souds like a strong runner! Quote
yodamonkey64 Posted May 12, 2005 Author Report Posted May 12, 2005 hey thanks for the reply's guys. ill prolly look into it this weekend cause its raining and supposed to snow in northern minnesota here. as for the 100 mph im pretty sure its at 100 and if not is real close. sometimes you can just tell but it feels faster on a wheeler than in a car. ill clock it with my bros gps tonight and get back to you guys. i regeared it now. thanks for your help. take it easy Justin Quote
twinzr900 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 no fucking way a 100. i run LOTS of pavement and my friends bike is fast. he has port work/pod filters/t-5s/prPD cool head/16/41 gearing and he ran 92 on RADAR. I'm here to tell ya 90 at the MOST and thats being nice. Quote
twinzr900 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 oh and another thing. he also has v-force reeds and spacers along w/ shaved front fenders. Quote
yodamonkey64 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Report Posted May 13, 2005 it could very well be closer to 90 than 100. i didnt mean to piss anyone off when statin the speed of my quad. its prolly feels faster than it is. im gonna check on the porting and see if it is or nto and illl radar it this weekend or somethin. thanks guys Justin Quote
NEVER SATISFIED Posted May 13, 2005 Report Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) oh and another thing. he also has v-force reeds and spacers along w/ shaved front fenders. 368406[/snapback] damn if he has a v force and the front fenders are shved.... then he has gotta be hittin way in the upper 90mph range.. the fenders alone add 10mph jk Edited May 13, 2005 by NEVER SATISFIED Quote
baddboyy21 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Posted May 13, 2005 Not to be rude...but I'd say you are doing 75mph tops! Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 Not to be rude...but I'd say you are doing 75mph tops! 368934[/snapback] isnt stock 78? Quote
yodamonkey64 Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Posted May 14, 2005 i think they are the stock 26mm carbs. and i really dont know on the speed. i was just makin a crude estimate it wasnt scientific idk what the stock speed is for a banshee. idk where i heard this but i heard it was at around 92 but thats gotta be off. i know my bike runs at least 75 but over that idk. its slower now cause i regeared it to 13 41 and i have some smaller tires on there right now so its totally turned from speed to torque. ill speed check it with this gearing and tire size. the tires are 18's. ill see what the speed comes out too. thanks guys Justin Quote
Banshee~ Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 oh and another thing. he also has v-force reeds and spacers along w/ shaved front fenders. 368406[/snapback] OH SHIT, SHAVED FRONT FENDERS ....stock banshee's will run around 65-70 on pavement. Quote
