I am doing this post for my brother, so most likely something anywhere under a $1200. Edited January 12, 2009 by swhitey917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTOYS Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 You need to call/email builders and discuss a build with your budget and riding style in mind. Then pic who you feel better with. A 350cc build is very doable for that price range or less just depends on how many accessories you want to add on as the speed bug is VERY addictive.

csrmel Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 for $1200 i was able to buy a welded 4mm long rod crank, 795 pistons, custom cool head domes, a port matched upper case half, heavy duty clutch springs, and a full gasket and seal set. oh yeah, and i got my cylinders ported to match my cpi pipes, and to work with the stroker long rod crank. and a few sets of jets that are in the range that i needed. i did the tear down and rebuild my self, but i sent the case and cylinders out to get ported, and had domes custom cut for the stroker long rod crank.. other then those 3 items which are beyind my mechanical ability, i did everything else my self. thats what $1200 will get ya, if he does not have a cool head, the stock head can be cut for higher compression and for clearence with the stroker assembly for cheaper then it costs to get cool head domes. (sounds funny but is true) i also did some other things along the way that were free, i traded my t5 pipes for cpi's, cut my own shift star on a grinder wheel, trade a 13t sprocket for a 15t, sell my air box and use the money to buy clamp on uni filters. i cut the stock timing plate for 4 degrees of advance. alot of things you can do for cheap or even free like i just mentioned. bang for the buck is right there, free upgrades. cant beat free. don't underestimate the timing advance, 4 degrees gives you a shit tonne more bottom end and midrange power. more then t5 or cpi pipes filters reeds or anything else i tried. it did not seem to do anything for top end though. to go from a stock engine with t5's to a ported stroked monster running cpi's was a hell of an upgrade. but to do it for $1200 you need to have enough experience to to the teardown and rebuild youreself. rb porting does some really banging work for really cheap. and he will cut you a deal if you get work done and buy parts at the same time. plus you dont have to pay multipule times for shipping if you buy everything from one person. more ways to save money. if you just wated a cheap performance upgrade, send the stock cylinders out to get ported. tell the guy who is doing the porting to match the cylinders to youre pipes. then buy a set of 6 dollar heavy duty clutch springs and some clamp on filters from rmatv. might as well buy a set of new rings while you are at it. you can slao cut the stock head youreself with some sandpaper and a plate of glass. i did that on the stock head and it worked just as good as the cool head i eventually bought. 1. timing advance-diy head cut-trade stock parts for aftermaeket-shift star (do the free ones first) 2. clamp on filters. 3. pipes. 4 porting. 5. head work. 6. stroker crank (clutch springs and headwork required) 7. bigger carbs, intakes, reeds etc don't forget jetting. you change ONE engine parameter and you will have to rejet. change a bunch and it's even more important. some motorcycle or atv shops will let you change out jets for free with their existing inventory, provided youre jets are in like new condition, not clogged up, no rounded off hex heads etc. mine does, and thats a free way to jet an engine. my local shop actually gives banshee jets away for free too. that would be my order of importance for a typical banshee ryder. not knowing exactly how this banshee is used, i can only guess though.
