2strokesallday Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Alright so this is my second banshee and my first one i bought in a box (haha the best kind) and i didn't actually look hard enough to see that the guy didn't put the locating pins in right and they spun. But i ended up selling that banshee for like 800 bucks, probably one of my biggest regrets because it was completely worked and would have been well worth putting the money into. But anyway i just bought my new banshee about a week ago and its gonna be my project for this year hopefully ill be finished sometime next year around march ( don't worry i have other toys to ride =] ). It has hotrod cranks, ported trinity 2in1 stage IV intake, polished cascade cases and water pump cover and clutch cover, $800 shocks, ill fill you in on more after-market parts later. just have a few questions, the guy didn't include the pistons with it so i have no idea what size or what bore size it is so ill probably have them measured this week and i might just hone the cylinders out instead of having them bored because i don't think there bad. I think its making a lot of power because it blew the stock reeds off and then the guy broke two fins off the stock clutch basket but i have no idea i don't really wanna take the bottom end apart. OK so heres the questions: i wanna know if there stroker cranks and i don't know how to measure them or anything this is what is said on the side: HOTRODS C.K. 121 B wheres the best place to buy grills?and light covers? what type of reed set up do you think? i think I'm gonna try to hit 85-90hp clutches? don't wanna go with lock outs, so hidson? i wanna build it dune worthy but still be able to cruise the trails so +2---+4 swing arm? also i really wanna upload photos but there all 150k- 200k and it said max is 50k?

Jereme6655 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 my suggestion is to take your jugs to a machine shop......they may look fine but they could be egg shaped or slightly outta round. we'd hate to see you get new pistons in there and go to go for a rip and blow the motor. besides.....if the pistons were totally fine then why woudn't he include them? i'd probably call jeff at FAST for the parts and whatnot.....i do know he does have a pretty sweet clutch that people seem to really like. as to a banshee making 90 hp........it is easily possible.....but the hard part is getting the power to come on when you want it (aka for woods its pretty low) otherwise you can wind up with the "light-switch" style powerband and it can get pretty hairy when your off in the woods...

2strokesallday Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 well I'm off to get my cylinders measured right now to check out the size and see what needs to be done. i think the set up im gonna go with is vforce3's with cpi's 2in1 stage IV ported intake open air box with k&n filters cool head/20cc pump gas advanced timing ( i don't know how much yet) w/ stroker cranks(hopefully) if its got strokers im probably gonna have it bored to a 421, the suspension thats on the bike (finding out today) and a few more things, comment and tell me your imput and if i missed something?! vifferman thanks for the comment ill try to post some nice pictures tonight...

2strokesallday Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 ok the guy said there around 65.5 so i might just go bigger and go with a big bore or something like that but what do you guys think about part setup to get to 90hp?

Trick2stroke Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 85-90 HP set up that is duneable and trail friendly is going to cost a lot. Sure you could probably get 90 peak hp out of a stock cylinder but chances are it's going to be a peaky and hard to ride curve. You ever had a banshee with over 60 hp? I think you may be surprised at how powerful a 60-75 hp bike is. Do a little research around the site and decide what set up is going to suit your riding best.

camatv Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 65-75hp is a blast at the dunes if done right.. 80+ with a good TQ curve is enough to make the newbs do~do in their panties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
