In a sense yes they are. If it was me I would rather go 250 2-stroke all day, but a lot of guys like the 4-stroke because the the power band attributes and they never stop pulling right up till you hit the rev limiter

to do a stroker its a lot more than just get the crank and throw it together. To have a decent stroker set up here's a list of what youll need.... stroker crank, stroker pistons, aftermarket pipes, bigger carbs, cool head w/ stroker domes or stock head cut for the stroker, cylinders ported for the stroker and i would suggest little upgrades such as billet water pump impeller, pancake bearing, etc.

they dont.... theyll start but you wont go any where fast

Dude you live in Alaska theres a list of a few things that everyone does up here.... 1)drink or smoke pot(most of the time both), go play on our toys(which yours is apparently down right now) 3^^^^that, or fish.... take your pick haha

Been using them for a few years now, awsome couple to work with, I recomend them to everyone

what do you mean by external shift mechanism? if you mean the clutch assembly, yes.

That's awsome man

Nice Saigas in your sig picture bro

I had mine done by a shop and when they were done i put a little grease in the ball joints with some new boots and they worked just fine... guess it just depends on how hot you cook them

Nice steal. Yeah you can use the carbs and head on the 4mil build. It looks like the cylinders are stock, you asked why he would do that? well he did give you that thing for free when he could have parted it and made some money

Sell the alky carbs and the t-5's and get some like 35 or 38mm gas carbs, and some CPI inframes. The +6 swinger can work it will just take some work as far as leaning forward and and working your clutch.

start with the basics, is he getting fuel and spark in both cylinders.

great idea man they look good. I like the idea of putting some low and full lines on there.

Advancing your timing does help pretty well. Its really simple to do. You can either buy an adjustable timing plate or have your modified. To change the timing with an aftermarket timiing plate all you do is pull your stator cover(the cover on the side of the engine where the chain is) then pull your fly wheel wheel(its one nut) then then take the 3 screws out holding the timing plate, pull the screws holding your pickup and your wires down. Put the new plate in place and re-insert the 3 screws, before you tighten them down though line up where the cases split with the little +4 mark(i think the plate is numbered in increments of 5, so it will be the mark just before +5) then thighten your 3 screws down. Put everything back on the way it came off. Make sure you use some blue lock tight on all your screws and nuts. Should only take about 20 minutes. It could take longer though if its your first time. As far as the crank you need a 4mil crank(preferably the 4mil long rod), stroker pistons (wiseco 795 series) your cylinders need to be ported for the crank, so you mise well select the port job you want (you can use a spacer plate instead of porting, but I dont recomend that) and you need to either have your stock head cut for the stroker crank or you need to get a cool head with stroker cut domes(I suggest the cool head because then you can change your compression by simply pulling of your head and it uses o-rings instead of gaskets so you dont have to replace them everytime you pull the head(although I would). Also your going to be feeding more motor now so you need to get bigger carbs, and if your not running in mud all the time you mise well get some pod filters to go with them. Another thing you never mentioned is whether you have the stock exhaust or not... If you do you need new pipes and I would suggest that you just start with the basics before going with a stroker. Start with pipes that will really wake up your shee, then when you want some more go with a timing plate, then a cool head with smaller domes to raise your compression, finally I would get it ported and see how you like it. You will be really surprised with hw much that does for your banshee(be sure to re-jet after changing pipes, or getting it ported). Hope that helps

nice little car man. it will get you from point A to point B just fine and have a little fun in between.
