if i keep the banshee... what mods do i do?

[sycoracer911]

alright guys im taking your advice on this one.... and i decide to mod the shee a little more before i make a final desition on weather to sell it or not.... anyway im wondering what brings a shee to life... keep in mine i ride trials, road, dirt, track... basicly eveyrhting but sand and dessert.... i live in pa so winter is and issue and so is rain... anyway what can i do to bring out the inner child in my banshee lol.... so far to my info i only have paul turner pipes (whitch im considering selling for a lower hitting pipe such as fmf or dmc) K&n filter with no lid.... and thats basicly it.... well guys what are some small things i can do to really wake her up.... would it be worth selling some paul turner pipes for some lowend pipes? do reeds make a big diff? how about timing?

Get toomey T-5's, V-force reeds, and some sort off air filter.

Keep the pt's get it ported somewhere you feel comforable with, cool head with smaller domes, I personally would go with suspension mods after doing the motor. Put on a decent set of shock and maybe even a arms and it will be a totaly different bike.

wel man are your pipes the hi revs or the mids? do nyou have the silencers with them? and what year are they? cause i would possibly be willing to trade you my fatties with powercore 2 silencers for them if there not toooooo old and not bad of cond

i herd eric gorr was a good mx/trail porter... and i also herd good things about cp... looking for a cheeper porter here... i wish i could afford a passion port or soemthing... and im thinking about doing the chassis first... i havent decided... maybe some +3 a arms, -2 swingarm, yfz front shocks.... i already got an axle so it should be cool

[bansheefreestyler]

[sycoracer911]

I agree!! Call up Eric Gorr, I've heard great things about his woods port and I think it's only $250. Keep the PT's, get you a pair of 30mm carbs. Get a Noss head with 20cc domes and some suspension and you'll be really surprised with the difference. If low end is what you want, only two pipes really come to mind....Dynoport 2 into 1 and the PT mids.

FMF Gnarly comes to my mind.

[Gargamel]

The 2n1 pipe is ok, they sound killer but you'll get better performance out of the Gnarly. I had both. The gnarly is a great woods pipe imo. Yea and the Gorr port sounds like a killer deal, and my next mod. reeds,after that suspension.

I would really consider giving Eric Gorr a call. I love my portjob, and would go back to him again. The whole pipe issue is kind of a personal preference. Do you wanna keep any type of top end?...then don't get a 2 into 1 pipe. Suspension is really the biggest problem with the 'shee. It just plain sucks. I had works triple rates w/rezzies for 2 years and thought they kicked ass. UNTIL I actually dropped some coin and got +2+1's, Axcalibur axle, and TCS shocks w/ a TCS rebuilt rear stocker. It's now a completely different bike. I would re-think the +3+1 a-arms. The way it sounds, you still want to be pretty nimble through the woods. I personally wouldn't want to drag +3+1 a-arms through tight woods.

 

You'd be suprised how much more you can use your motor after improving your suspension.

[sycoracer911]

idk i plan on running the yfz shocks too so since the front would be lifted and bring the arms in to be narrower... i figured the +3's with no offset rims would be good.... but then again i can do a +2 with offset or something either way its the same cost....
