Dune Banshee

[WilliamCote_3]

I currently have a 2002 banshee wilth a +4 swingarm along with Tommey T-5's, V-force reeds, 3 degree key, boost bottle, and dual air filters. I am trying to build a monster of a hill climber. I was wondering what I could add to make it beeter. I would prefer that I don't do engine work because I am scared of an engine failure. What would be the best thing to get? Am I just being over worried about engine work? what is a safe thing to do?

Really there's alot you can do before you get into trouble. First replace the crank. You could get the stock one trued and welded but if ur building something fast ur gonna need a stroker. Get some cubs and some porting for those. Grab a new head and bump up the compression. Advance the timing and change out the pipes/carbs and you'll have a fast bike.

 

Compression is probably the hardest on the engine longevity. Even so, you can raise it quite a bit w/out any worries. Also really aggressive port work can lead to reliability issues. Other than that...you shouldn't have any problems.

Get a good port job and do something with the suspension.

Get rid of the "degree key" and get a adjustable stator plate. If you are worried about an engine failure you just added one of the parts that is MOST prone to cause it. Degree keys are famous for shearing off.

 

Also you could lighten the flywheel.

Monster Hill Shooter without engine work?

 

Your Boost Bottle is all you'll need.
