samdust Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Get your cylinders ported and you wont have to worry about asking these questions. :biggrin: 1000000% agree with u. after i ported mine i kill alot of stock anything. i raced a vstar and beat his ass until we hit 80mph then he kept going ha.

imgoodatwhatido Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 SIT ON THE GAS TANK second gear at wide open throttle an launch it an see what happens...thats the onyl chance u got....if u leave in first your gonna get smoked...if u bog when u leave in second your gonna get smoked...kinda short shift to 3rd since 3rd is a good hard pulling gear but dont shift too early or you will drop out of your powerband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiecha17 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I was smoking ltr 450s on the strip with ported cylinders. now, i eat most 4 strokes for breakfast. :biggrin: maybe on the strip but in a 1/2 an 1/4 mile oval the ltr destroyed a 421 cub ( but then again it doesnt matter how much you have done to your bike .. it all depends on the rider.. ) but eah just my two cents ...

Amen... A 421 cub takes a little to get wound up...where a 450 Grunts of the get.. On a drag race, there is no question who the winner is... But on a circle track, just goes to show you, setup, setup, setup... The bigger/faster motor doesn't always win, even in a drag race....

4strokessuck Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) well i raced him and we were pretty much even it just depended on who got the best launch i was leaving in 2nd gear and i got brand new razrs that helped alot Try going +1 on the crank sprocket for bigger gearing OR -1 on the rear sprocket for a smaller increase in topend and longer gearing. You were probably still spinning pretty hard even with the new tires right? Longer gearing helps put power down better by digging in faster. Careful, too much may bog your motor down. Good luck.

onebanshee Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I use to own a Banshee but made the switch to the LTR last year and I gotta say it was a good move. They are fast out of the box, easy mods to do, cheap power, and a lot easier to ride in the dunes, you have power whenever you need. Plus they rip on the track, no banshee could keep up with the LTR on a track. In a straight line a banshee really has a big advantage, but I would chose a LTR over the banshee anyday! lata one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy use to beat me around the track on a 90 XR250 and i was on a YZ125. it wasnt even close, he could still lap me. at the time i was a mid pack B rider, so i wasnt that slow either. all in all the LTR450 is alot faster than a stock banshee.
