01blckbansh Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 i have a 2001 banshee. i bought it with a broke piston skirt for $500.00 . i bored it .20 , put fmf fatty's and power core 2's , reeds and reed cages, k&n pods, advanced timing, billet impeller , barnett clutch , holeshot tires. my brother has some land that we ride at . it has some trails that we ride once in awhile not alot because we hunt. he has a field that we made a track around and i have beat everyone that has riden with us. now everyone is doing motorbuilds. a buddy is putting a cam , stroker crank and piston in his warrior and i don't want to get beat. this winter i was planning on a full motor build anyway but i don't know what to do. i was think of having the cyl. ported by F.A.S.T. and a new trued and welded crank with bigger carbs. maybe 35's. could i run a 4 mil crank or would it be a waste of money? what would be the best option? we race around the track and drag more than trails. my wife gave the go ahead to do the motor build as long as it's under $2500.00 . PLEASE HELP. i'm kind of new to banshee's , sorry if it's a stupid question. thankyou for any help. i appreciate it. Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 dude, not to be a (banshees are unbeatable!!!!) type of douche but you should be able to beat a stroked warrior on a stock shee let alone with the mods you have listed. i personaly wouldnt do anything to my bike untill i started getting beat. with your mods you should be more concerned with putting the power to the ground without wheelspin than getting beat by a stroked warrior....

01blckbansh Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 thanks for the advice. do you have any ideas about getting the power down?? do a plus 2 swinger?? thanks for the help.. Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 you can go with a longer arm but are you coming up in the front out of the hole and having to clutch/throttle down to keep it in check? unless your fighting to keep the front end down on take off i'd lean more twords more agressive tires. i'm not a dirt rider so i have no idea what tires to look at. if you were a sand guy i'd say slap some 10 paddle extreems on that sucka and be done with it but thats not the case... you can mess with your gearing and move it lower and start leaving in higher gears or move it higher to bog the engine a bit if your using first to launch or you can just start using second gear to leave if your not already. you can also soften your rear shock up a little to make it soak up the hit when you launch. a four stroke will always leave harder than a 2 stroke because there a torqy bike compared to a two stroke. where they have power all the way through we have bursts of power when were on the pipe and are usualy off the pipe and making no ground or on the pipe and frying tires. if it were me i would waste a couple bucks and try and get my gearing dialed in. your going to have a hard time beating those 4 strokes in the tight turns because your shee will want to spin the wheels. if you cant make up the differance on the straights then you can always start looking at a 2 into one carb set up and some bottom end pipes like paul turners but you will still have to get your gearing dialed...
