apelfy Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Bought a Banshee with a blown motor that needs a crank. Is either crank better than the other. I plan on starting out basic and then continue upgrading as I get use to the power. Will mostly be trail ridden so I'm planning on stock stroke crank and a new head. But eventually to port the cylinders, carbs and pipe. Which head and what domes do you guys reccommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee tuner Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Do a search on cranks, some people on here have had trouble with vito's cranks. I don't know who makes them for vito's, wiseco makes the vito's pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemical Castration Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 These are the go to guys for cranks. http://www.crankworks.com Is there something wrong with your stock head? If its usable you can just have somebody modify it to suit your needs. It's cheaper and just as effective as buying a billet head with custom domes.

Lightninn Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I agree. Phil at Crankworks is top notch. He can set you up with a stock stroke crank that is trued and welded and also if you want can install heavy duty bearings. Then as you build your engine up, the crank can take whatever mods you decide to go with. He's who does all my cranks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I am one of the ones that had bad luck with a Vito's crank. My advice would be to go with a +4 crank right now and just use a spacer plate. WHen you do decide to step it up, the stroker part will already be done and you can have the porting done to match your riding style. For the amount of time and money you will spend on the stock stroke, the stroker crank will only be slightly more expensive and it will stop you from having to tear down the motor again in the future.

banshee tuner Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I agree with broke, if I split the cases I'm dropping a stroker in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23champ Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've heard a lot of bad things about vitos cranks, I would say clear of vitos if it were me. But ive also heard that the hot rods cranks are breaking the welds. if you plan on gettin a lot of hp in the future id go with a twister or crankworks, I have a hot rods +4 in mine and im not very imressed with it.

cexualcensations Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have two banshees and i am running the hot rod +4 long rod stroker crank and i love it. Hot rods are definely the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
