banshee just stoped?

[speedman8903]

ok i bought this 2000 banshee for a thousand bucks, the guy told me it ran great and everything, had for about 2-3 weeks, went riding with my 2 cousins that they have 2005 banshee's stock, my 2000 has toomey t5 and a boost bottle, while racing my cousin, after being in front of him for awhile, the bike just shuts off, and i come to a complete stop. my cousin says i might of blown a ring or some thing, what does it sound like???

It could be a fewthings.Will the motor turn or is it lokcked up.

[speedman8903]

I would not do that.Its proably just the topend assuming you have already checked all the little things and its getting fire.For what youll pay for that kit and having the sleeves bored out of your cylinders and have those put in youll be done spent allmost enough to have bought a cub.The cheapest way will be to just have your stock cylinders bored as little as possible"you dont gain very much if any power by boring and get you a good set of pistons.Remeber im assuming that your topend is gone so you need to make sure that its not somthing else.If you want big gains go with the cub but theres many things that you need to make it work to its potentill like carbs and reeds the list goes on and on and you have to consider what you want to do with it.You could have your cylinders ported and have a fast but more usable spread of power or I even seen a set of trinity stage4 cylinders forsale in the classifieds here.That would proably be your quickest option.Although I seen your in ga which i am too I have all my machine work done at bridges cycle in washington. hes fast and reasonable on prices and knows what hes doing,usually if I have my pistons he will bore it the same day i take it.Just pull the plugs out of it and do a compression test to see where your at.Let me know if theres anything else i can help you with.Im sorry i thought i seen you were in ga just checked it must have been somebody else .

naw neva been in ga, but even if i can make it bak 2 stock, i can by that kit 2 make it a 404 right??? i rather have a 404 then a 350, get me. wut ima do first is take it to a shop to be looked at, and if they tell me whats wrong ill ask them about the 404 kit.

You can get that kit but having work done to your cylinders to make them fit, getting them installed and paying someone to do that is very expensive. When its all said and done you could have bought cub cylinders for the same price or less and they will make alot more power.

agreed, big bore kits don't make that much more power, they shrink the already to small transfer ports.

Spend the money on porting and bolt-ons instead.

 

Be sure to do a compression test to be sure the cylinder is realy at fault in the first place.

so buying cub cylinders would be better than buying the 404 kit??? how do i kno dat im buying the right cub cylinders then??? cause this is my first banshee, so i wanna make it fast for not to much you kno.

Cub cylinders will run you 875$ and if you want to go fast it will.That 404 kit wont stand a chance in hell against a set of cubs,but remember the cubs will be thirsty co some new cabs will be in the future and a noss head will bring ur compression up and help that lowend but you will want all these things anyway cub or not.How much is that kit like $300 i didnt really look but you can figure whatever it cost plus about $150 per cylinder for resleeving and atleast another 300 for a port job and you would still be hardpressed to beat a cub running on stk carbs.
