txblueshee Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 :baseball_bat: i've seen all kinds of yfz's beat up on banshees It happens all the time.... people just don't like to admit it... Oh yeah, and the bog off idle can be fixed by changing your leak jet from what I've read. It's a common problem and I still have it on mine....you can make it better by tweaking the pilot jet and fuel screw. I really don't even notice it much anymore :shrug: After you buy the bike, check yfzcentral for the "known" problems on the 06's. There are a few little things you'll want to pay attention to on those new 450's. Travis, the bog off bottom is b/c the fcr carb AP spring is a little too long.. thus when you nail the throttle off idle it shoots it too much fuel for the motor... It can be cured with about 30 mins of carb work... IMO the honda 450 is the one to beat right now.... The suzuki rarely finishes a race and the yfz is a moody bitch... Basically honda upgraded and got it right... yamaha tried to be shisty about it and it screwed them in the end... Mike Quote
stock 450 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 The best setup that I have seen is a curtis sparks big core exaust, curtis sparks air filter adapter plate(if you run a foam filter)and a curtis sparks foam filter. I did the cam mod on mine and noticed a big difference.This will do pretty good if tou like to trail ride and minor drag racing. If you want to drag race without spending a ton get you a +6 swing arm, toss the stock carb in exchange for a 41mm lectron carb to run alky.With this setup I was outrunning stock bore 13 to 1 comp hondas with port work and swingarms. I now have a ported head stock piston on a drag frame and it runs with a big bore, stroked ,and ported head honda with a cam. If you change the cam go with the ron woods for the most difference. For port work I got jeremy from finishline racing to work it up for me. Hope that helps. We did try the ron woods pipe and it wasn't bad but we liked the sparks pipe better. Quote
Animalman294 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Ya, my brother runs a white brothers pipe and K&N, and that little shit is pretty quick. He gets out ahead of me off the line about two lengths and then I hold him but by then he is already ahead. Wait til I introduce him to my 421 cubby. muhahahahahahah Quote

I am getting a Banshee soon though. YES DO THE CAM-MOD ALOT MORE TOP-END. Quote
jeepman380 Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Posted June 24, 2006 Finally got it broke in today. Changed the oil for the first time then went for a short ride. I have to say i'm pretty impressed with the power it has even in stock trim. Talked to Jeff at F.A.S.T and got me a Sparks pipe coming soon! Think i'm also gonna so with the velocity tube intake. Looks like it would be pretty good. Then i'll probably do the cam mod within the next couple weeks. Any other small things I should do that you guys can think of? Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 check the bolts behind your starter gear on the left side. takes 2 mins to do and if they are loose tighten them up Quote
