[Tapper1823]

Im new to the forums and im going to buy a banshee in a month or two here a list of mods i want to do to it.

 

12t front sprocket, 2t a-arms, yfz front shocks, and widen the rear.

 

I have one question i want my banshee to have some low end power what else can i do besides the 12t sprocket. What kind of pipe/silencer should i get? also what tires are the best for hooking up? any other suggestions on mods? i ride trails mostly open, some curvy, sand, gravel, hardpack etc. thanks

Noss Cool head

Timing advance plate +4 timing

Paul Turner Mids/FMF Fatties

Also, don't know how tight your trails are but 12t sprocket seems awfully low geared, whats your elevation so I can recommend the right size domes for the cool head. If you're looking for even more bottom end there are 2 ino 1 pipes and carbs on the market as well.

Dont buy a Shee wanting bottom end power. Buy it because you like high winding serious power that comes on hard. I hate to see someone try and change what the bike was designed to do.

 

I suggest Maxxis razors for tires. I also suggest leaving your gearing stock.

Don't get me wrong I dont want tons of bottom end. i just wanted to know what i could do for more than stock. trust me i want top end too. i've ridden a banshee all i can say is wow what a powerband!

I heard that the cool heads weren't a very good idea heard of them cracking and causeing problems but idk for sure. I would like to do a single carb set up. are those 2 to 1 pipes any good? i kinda like the look of dual? oh im at about 1,000 feet above sea level in minnesota

Cool heads are fine, they just have to be installed properly. More banshees out there running the cool than running the stock one probably.

 

I'd go with the NOSS piece. Little better design than the pro design cool head. Less O-rings, one piece design and uses stock studs.

 

2 into 1 pipes are more for mxer's who want ton of mid range but really choke you down on the top.

 

If you plan on porting your bike I'd go with a set of T5's, if not a set of FMF fatties or T6's would work good for you.

Cool heads are much better than the stock head. If any of them would crack it would be the stock head long before the billet head. Ive never heard of either head cracking.

You're probably thinking of a boost bottle (don't bother wasing ur money on one) I've never heard of a cool head cracking. I would recomend 21cc domes for your elevation if you want to run pump gas.

so with the 21cc domes what octane would be best to run? i will probably get the fmf fattys.
