mikey351 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 I JUST PURCHASED AN 06 BANSHEE WITH 20 HOURS IT CAME WITH A KN FILTER AND IS JETTED TO SUIT. I RIDE MAINLY DUNES AND SOMETIMES TRAILS AT NEAR SEA LEVEL. I WANTED TO MOD MY BIKE BUT ONLY WILLING TO SPEND AROUND THE $500 MARK. I AM FROM AUSTRALIA AND PLAN TO ORDER MY PARTS ONLINE FROM THE US. WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND. FMF FATTYS AND V FORCE 3 OR TOOMEY T5 WITH REEDS FOR STANDARD CAGE. Quote

Snopczynski Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 How would you like the power delivery of the bike to be like? Quote
mikey351 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Posted August 1, 2007 How would you like the power delivery of the bike to be like? I would like improvevments over stock on the bottom end with a nice kick from the midrange through to the top end. Is the much gains to be had by increasing the timing if the only other parts I am planning to modify will be pipes, reeds, jets Quote
odaen Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 I would like improvevments over stock on the bottom end with a nice kick from the midrange through to the top end. Is the much gains to be had by increasing the timing if the only other parts I am planning to modify will be pipes, reeds, jets Advancing the timing will help with your bottom and mid-range power. I'd also recommend the T5's and VForce reeds. Mill your head to raise the compression some and you'll be in good shape powerwise. Quote
Snopczynski Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 Thats a tough feat to accomplish making more power everywhere. I personally feel the best fitted pipe to increase power over a wide range is something like an fmf gold series. Good low to mid can be had from the pro circuits. The dynoport 2 into 1 pipe with a small dynoport clean up port job will get you power all the way across the board to about the intermediate top end of what a Banshee can achieve for rpms. The T5 seems to make improvements mostly mid-top. Advancing timing will help low-mid power but it will be a minute improvement thats not really all that noticeable. Quote

So your saying that I will get no improvement over stock on the lower end of the rev range if I get T5. What about V3's will I notice a power increase or is it more about throttle respose. Also what about FMF fattys they will cost me much less but people I read dont recommend tham over T5's Thanks for your help. Nice sideways action on your pic. Quote
Snopczynski Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) The T5 will gain on the bottom over stock pipes, but its not really a bottom end pipe. Its more of a mid-top pipe. I dont really like fattys all that much, if I was to run a fmf pipe, I would find some gold series pipes. I dont run vf3's, but people I talk to and ride with say they make a little difference. I usually stick with the stock cage and run carbon tech reed petals. Edited August 2, 2007 by Snopczynski Quote
shee rips Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 they were on the bike when i got it, so I cant really compare it to stock, but fmf sst's seem to be a pretty good all around pipe. Quote
peak-j Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 I've only ran the T5's with VForce 3's, and I like the bottom end on it. Very big improvement over stock, and I also run a NOSS coolhead with 20cc domes too. Quote
