sheefreak Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 It will rev slower. The long rod is simply a little easier on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony cub Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 sounds like those stock cylinders need some more porting.i have some stock cylinder bike that run alot harder than that.if you go to oky on fri nights you must of seen some..102-104mph IN THE 1/4 (NOT TOP END).if all you plan to do is trail ride stick to the long rod,but if your a trail/street racer i would go with a short rod.ive had better results with a short rod on smaller cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony cub Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I use the bike to trail ride a bit (long cool straights with some turns) Highspeed trails if you will. I dont like tight junjle type trails. The bike right now has a set of wiseco pistons .50mm, 155lb compression with .40 piston to head clearence. Nicely ported cyl's. Bike tops out at 102 with me (260lbs) on it with 16/40 gearing. Alot of locals around here like the short rod setup with spacer, and I have seen them fly, but I keep wondering if I should go with a long rod cause you guys say they are great. I used to be a mechanic at a yamaha dealer here in Miami call R&R jettech. We used to service and repair atv's and jet skis. I have lots of knowledge on any 2 stroke or 4 stroke. I built my banshee myself,porting and all. I have complete access to a full machine shop. I even built a Raptor I had with a 800cc stroker kit and some juice. But, I am completely lost when it come to a stroker on a banshee as far as what works best. The cyl will be match ported to the stroker. Wont the longer rod rev slower no spacers on a short rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also on t5's not CPI's. And you are getting 104 with that in the 1/4. Do you have a shop? I chill on 41st all the time with my radar gun and only see some of chichi's little 4mill's getting 102-105 range in the 1/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony cub Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 So just cut the domes 2 mill? you would have to space it with gaskets,but that also goes with the porting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
