jjfizzle51 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Ok so I am going to buy a banshee in july I had one before and cannot get it off my mind! so much fun! anyways this is the setup I think I will be going with let me know what you think and how much HP would you guess? Assuming I buy a totally stock one... Highley doubt I can find one Toomy T-5 K&N filters Noss Machine Head 19 or 18 cc doms ( Sand Mountain utah? suggetions?) Advanced timing plate slightley lightened flywheel dune port or race port? (mostley for running up the hills and just messing around on the razorbacks? Suggestions?) true and welded crank Do you guys think I will benifiet from bigger carbs? If so suggestions? 13 tooth up front I want to keep as much reliability as possible but think this build would be able to scream let me know what you all think! Thanks!

jjfizzle51 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I am not expecting to be the fastest on the hill but would like to put most of the 4 strokes in their place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotta_goatsfast Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think its a good start. One item I would scratch off the list is the lightened flywheel. It makes your bike sound really fast in neutral, but after talking to a few builders it shows no notable increase in acceleration and takes away from the engines inertia during launch. Don't forget to set up the rest of your quad for hills. I would invest in good tires, a longer swingarm, and some budget shocks atleast!

okbeast Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Sounds like a good setup. I'd suggest some 33pwk's or 34pj carbs. And then work on your suspension setup some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjfizzle51 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Ok ya I wasnt 100% sure on the flywheel just remember it was mentioned like 4 years ago when I was on this site! Additions to the list I forgot Skat Trak Tires all around I am thinking 8 paddle hauler I had them on my last bike and they hooked great Wisco pro light pistions I was thinking maybe a +4 swingarm? How would this affect the jumping capabilities? As far as the suspension what upgrades are you talking? I remember bottoming out a few times when I jumped my old bike but for a 20+ year old design it seemed decent! Thanks for the input guys keep it coming!

Coupelx Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 i would forget about the longer swing arm and learn to ride it again. a 13t front sprocket sucks too. i run a 15t and really like it. keep the stock carbs unless you really feel like spending money. keep it simple and it will stay fun and reliable.

jjfizzle51 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Can you explain the advantage of a 15 tooth? I loved the wheelspin my 13 tooth had it sucked on the hard stuff but was awesome for dunes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 helps keep you from shifting constantly. it loaded the motor more to keep it from spinning the tires as easy, stil stay enough to break them loose if needed. to each their own i guess though.

boise_banshee Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I think 13t was stock on the early model shee's. Then it went to 14t/41t. Tried the 13 up front for tight trails, but went back to stock set up of 14/41 dont shift as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
