Fresh cyl plating etc. Runs good could use better jetting, will get pics soon.

Also I have a 2001 with a 392 Athena Kit, just had the cylinders plated. Blue and Black with Nerf bars, would like to see 2,200 for it.

Hah, sure enough, nobody wants to get involved... All the youth want to either play Call of Duty or some other electronic device. If you need parts, speak up, if you want to make fun, do it in a private message. Everything works, tell me what you need...

I cant afford to go any less than 2,900 on it. If I have to take less than 2,900 I'll just part it out. Everything works anyway so it would be better in the long run for me to just sell stuff off of it.... I'm in Milford DE, a little south of Dover.

Still no takers?? Thinking of parting out then... Let me know what you need...

THX NYUK, I love Ken! He's done me right on 3 different bikes and does exactly what he says he'll do when he says he'll do it at a fair price. I don't know what it is to have a full drag port banshee but my KOR port job is on the cusp of being too much for the trails and fields I ride in so I'm happy and it's just enough power to where it's usable but not so much that I can't run through all the gears...

Thanks for the tip! I got the idea shortly after posting the ad and seeing how cheaply these things go for. I have 3,250 in it from start to end and basically I don't need to sell the bike. I won't make a penny on it but I also refuse to lose a penny on it. If push comes to shove, I'll tear it down and rebuild it with a couple of the youth in my church as to let them get the fever and find out how fun it is to tinker with these things so either way I'm ok.. No desperation, just thought I'd throw it out there..

You all know what it is, to view it, just head on over to the CL link... Thanks https://post.craigslist.org/manage/3947283533

Thanks again everyone for responding! I fixed my carbs and they do exactly what they should do now. Just for kicks I also put 30 pilots in and really should also reduce my mains down to 320 or so. It's a bit rich and likes to foul plugs but I suppose fouled plugs are always better than fried pistons huh... Catch you guys around, Bill

Hi everyone, and thanks for entertaining my forum post. To: Tdod101, what is the significance of this jet? Is it like basically yet another jet to more or less micro tweek the air fuel or is it as "larry's shee" suggested and part of the choke circuit? To: 375hp banshee, I currently have 350 mains and 25 pilots but with that being said, the pilots are for too small so I have a set of 30's on the way. The 25's will idle the bike but with the air fuel screws turned all the way in so I need to rejet....

Hi everyone, can someone tell me a little about the air Jets on stock Mikuni Carbs? I was cleaning out my carbs and rejetting this evening and noticed a jet in the lower intake side of my carb I have never previously seen. I took this jet out and was able to make out "1.6" but realized that only my left hand carb had this jet. After some research and looking at a parts fiche, this is what is known as an air jet. Basically I understand what it does but what I don't understand is why only 1 carb would have one. Is this unusual?? Thanks in advance, Bill

I'm not terribly particular on the brand, just need a decent set with blk or ylo colored nets. Text or call me @ 302-519-667six

You're right, I naturally assumed that on a budget of 2,000 dollars, that the Cheetah was the direction he was thinking so thanks for the correction...

Jereme6655 Said it best, I couldn't agree more. The power gains by adding reeds and switching to a different pipe would be so incredibly small you probably wouldn't even feel it. Just advancing your timing +4 degrees alone will give you power you didn't know was there! Just make sure you run a higher octane gas than 87. Here we can get 93 but some places only go to 90 or so....

X2 or if you don't have feeler gauges, the thickness of a razor blade will do you just fine.

X4 and you can modify your existing timing plate if you have a dremel tool to get the +4 - 5 degrees advance and it only takes about 10 minutes to do if you're not interested in spending 20 bux for a plate plus waiting 3 days for shipping.

Ditto except don't remove the TORS unless you have the idle screw and tap readily available to install right away, otherwise it won't idle without you feathering the thumb throttle. Not a huge deal but a bit annoying.

Hi Paul, I'm new to the forums but not new to Banshees by any means so I'll give my two cents on the topic... Oppenheimer said it best when he designed the atom bomb "Complexity is the enemy of reliability". With that being said, in my estimation, any time you add more moving parts etc. you run the risk of failure ie the more link in the chain, the higher the odds one will break. A cub motor is by no means unreliable, in fact I've heard they're very reliable and make great power but there are more moving parts, namely, the power valves on the exhaust ports. On the other hand, stroking a stock cylinder isn't the definite answer either. I've ridden stroker banshee's, Power valved banshees and ported banshees and I can tell you that without a doubt, porting on stock cylinders has given me the best bang for my buck that one could ask for and eliminates the need to buy added parts such as a new crank and rods or modifying your existing ones, if you don't overbore, it doesn't require new pistons and will bring more power gains for the money than stroking will. Is porting the going to bring more power than a power valved motor, probably not, however, a good port will deliver tons of midrange power all the way to the upper range where the banshee, in its stock form lacks. Coupling a good port, with a bit of timing advance will get you more power than you'll know what to do with. Add a few other supporting mods to the mix like a head with smaller domes, a decent set of pipes and proper jetting and you'll have no problems doing 90% of what you need to do! In my opinion, moving into the realm of strokers and cub motors not only costs you a lot more, it also puts you into the insane power category if that's the route you're wanting to take. This is just my 2 cents with my background... Bill
