diggs1870 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 I am new to the scene and this is my first ATV. I used to ride when I was younger so I have a little bit of experience with them, but as far as upgrades and the lingo on the subject I am clueless. I just bought a 96 Banshee and it needs a lot of work. The person that owned it before me put new Wiseco pistons/crankshaft basicall rebuilt the motor. The throttle seams a little choppy and the guy said to put bigger carbs and an exhaust system and it will run like a "raped ape". I want to upgrade the entire quad since I got it for so cheap and I plan to ride the crap out of it. There are a lot of trails with many jumps and the majority of this area is sandy dirt/grass. Should I just rejet the carbs or getter bigger bores? Is the Toomey full system exhaust any good? Saw a deal for a Toomey full system, jet kit and a K&N air filter for 600.00. Thanks for any help you guys can provide. Quote
wesw Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 get a pipe setup and air filter system with a plate for your box or pods i would stick with the stock carbs till you start doing engine work, like porting etc Quote
hittintrees srh Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 like he said. Dont worry about gettin bigger carbs yet. The stockers should be fine untill you get into the motor. Start with some pipes, pod filters, and maybe a NOSS head. With those mods alone, your shee will freekin rip! Quote
diggs1870 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Posted November 2, 2005 The motor is ported and polished. Quote
hittintrees srh Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 well then check out some lectrons Dennis Packard will custom build some to your motor mods and ridding style. His web sight is packardracing.com Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 CPI's, cool head with 19's and 33 PWK's should fit the bill. Quote

Thanks for any help you guys can provide. 432209[/snapback] get some midrange pipes for the trails (fattys, pt mids, dmc's), pro flow foam air filter setup, stock carbs perform pretty good but you could try some 28mm pwk's if the motor has some mild port work done to it. if the throttle is choppy you need to jet more richer.
