peterlocal22 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) whats up everyone. the 450 is awsome to jump with. everyone agrees with this. my question is do you think its possible to set up a banshee so it has the capability to jump as good if not better than the yfz 450?

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Anything is possible but is it economical? Quote
banshee tuner Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Whatever you can do to the banshee you can do to the 450 and then some since it is about 20 years newer of design. Quote
banshee tuner Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 The banshee has not been upgraded since the switch from j arms to a arms and the 450 is a product of the 21st century. So if factory is that much better just imagine what aftermarket would be like. Quote

Geometry wise you could make them very close. The problem with the shee would be that you'd have a hard time cutting weight to match the 450. I suppose you'd have to use some crazy expensive metals on both to make the best machine possible but in the end the 450 will still be lighter. Quote
stuntmasta3o5 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Why not transplant a Banshee motor into a YFZ 450?.. I think that would much a littler easier than buying a crapload of aftermarket parts for your banshee Quote
dawarriorman Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 I love how anybody has been brainwashed into thinking these new quads can "jump better". How exactly does one quad "jump better" than another? I can see how one will land better, with better suspension, which the yfz has stock. But if you buy aftermarket shocks, the banshee can take just as big of jumps. The new quads can handle better sure, but they aren't rewriting the laws of physics so they jump better. Quote
2K1Banshee350 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 banshees have a very nose heavy feel in hte air and u cant throw it around like a lighter 450 Quote
banshee tuner Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 The banshee just don't jump like a new 4 stroke. Quote

If you were to aftermarket the banshee to death and even get the dimensions similar .. wouldn't you still be better off with a 450? I'm asking this becuase I want to know if the shee frame is durable enough for track.. Quote
greg_banshee Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 i like how it jumps ! not saying its the lightest thing in the air but i think its pretty predictable Quote
