Here is a follow up on my Banshee. I installed new FAST clutch and it really made alot of difference. I guess the springs just woudn't hold the power through the mid range. Jetted down to a 160 main and going do a plug chop and probably go lower. Carbs were opening all the way up. I will say that this port job from FAST has some impressive low end power (not just topend). The shift star mod is definetly one of the best mods for the money. My next upgrade will be some shearers. Jeff has really been a great guy to talk to and help out after the sale.

yes I meant 6

Ordered new clutch kit with 5 HD springs, new pancake bearing, new modded shift star, I had new 18" turf tamers on but ordered a new set of Ohtsu radials, and ordered longer carb top adjusters with lighter springs. Will drop mains down to 160 and do another plug chop and see what happens. (maybe go lower-just don't want to have a melt down) Exhaust is next on my list.

I will just upgrade my clutch and give that a try. Arrows are pretty much lined up. I will also drain and check oil later.

Maybe that is my problem. I had a 03 Yamaha R1. It would pass cars and ride a wheelie at the same time. It was like "oh shit do I really need to be going this fast" when you look down and it is going 158.

This Banshee was almost new when I got it and has been ridden very little. (4 tanks of gas) Clutch "was" in perfect working order. It had good compression on stock pistons when I dissambled it. I have always kept my clutch lever adjusted with a little play. What do you mean by clutch arm arrows?

I really didn't mean to be slamming any of his work at all. I was just trying to get information about the possibility of my clutch slipping and how much more power I could expect from changing my compression and running race gas.

Just reassembled my Banshee. New FAST dune port, 35PWKs, +4 timing, 20cc domes, stock stroke, V3s, pump gas, 155psi and 1300 ft. I have done a plug chop, sync'd carbs and are jetted pretty close to perfect(165 mains)(middle clip on needle). Engine is fully broken in with about 4 tanks of fuel. Seems like it has real deceit low end power than it makes a lot of noise and revs like hell but it seems to have a flat spot in the power then it will finally come on. It will barely out drag my wifes 01 craptor. I hope my clutch is slipping, but it is slipping in mid range. I guess I will try a new clutch from Jeff and hope it gets better. Just not the power rush I expected. Will a clutch slip like this in mid range? I know it is porbably a dumb question because I am still running a low hour 05 stock clutch. If not I think I am ready for a 4mil and a cub. I am afraid my buddies 525 outlaw will smoke me. How much more power would I gain from changing domes and running race fuel? Thanks for any ideas.

Adrenaline and spanking four pokes. I love to see there faces when they eat sand. And my Banshee is not even that fast.

So is the pancake bearing mainly for an over ride clutch? I am running a stock style clutch.

I was just wondering if welding the rod ball is very common for a 60-70 hp Banshee. Or is this more of a problem for higher horse power Banshees. I have never seen this happen before. I am going to Little Sahara on spring break and running 10 paddle haulers with a 13 tooth front sprocket. Was just wondering if I really need to change to a pancake bearing for a preventitave repair?

I was considering upgrading the carbs to 33pwk while Jeff has them on sale. But right now I am really looking for the best bang for my buck and I was not sure how much more hp they would gain over properly sync'd and jetted stock carbs. The bad thing about purchasing new carbs is I also need larger intakes and that means another $400 to $500 total. I am definetly wanting to run 91 octgane.

For got to add that I am running FMF Fatty's. Just purchased a new set of head pipes off ebay for $127. Allready had silencers. Most all of the four strokes are only piped and jetted.

I actually live North of Springfield MO. We are planning on trying to go to LS on spring break.

Sold my 04 YFZ450 and purchased a low hour 05 blue Banshee. I used to ride piped Banshees in the early 90's and I couldn't stand it no longer. All my buddies have YFZ450s, 450rs, 660 Raptors, and a 525 Polaris Outlaw. (I wanted to be different) They think Banshees are out dated and slow. I currently have my cylinders at F.A.S.T. racing and I am having the dune port job installed. I am installing +4 timing, cool head with either 20cc or 21cc domes, V-force 3s, 13 tooth front sprocket, Wicked a arms, G-force axle, shocks, stock carbs, and stock stroke crank (pump gas). We ride mostly at Little Sahara OK and on my 160 acre farm. I think I am at about 1300 feet. I don't intend on having my buddies hand me my ass. Will this do the job???? Thanks for any input-Gshock
