Power_Man Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just picked up my first banshee after many years of dreaming. I nabbed me a 2003 LE that looks to be 100% stock. Compression read out at 121 both sides. (IMO a little low, but will do me a season i assume). So as i read on here, i need to get pipes, mod air box and timing plate. I will be riding mainly trails, and the ODD sand pit. What kind of pipe should i be looking for Nothing to $$$. How should i mod airbox, once again, it is stock. Link to a timing plate? I downloaded the jetting guide from here, so i can figure that out later. but i ride around 500m Elevation and will mainly be 80-100*f weather. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If your worried about spending money on pipes you might as well sell it and buy a guitar to keep yourself entertained. You have just purchased something that requires cubic dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 And make sure you have a big garage, cause these thing multiply like rabbits. Before you know it, you'll have 3 more and a couple of parts bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general_lee_banshee Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If you dont ride in mud or water ditch the airbox for pods if bot get a pro flow with k&n, i got a adjustable timmin plate ill sell ya it brand new , and for pipes if your not into drag racin and you want good all around power id go for t5s or pro circuit. For tight trails and mx id use pt mids. So if you bump the timming and add a good set of pipes youll wake her up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power_Man Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If your worried about spending money on pipes you might as well sell it and buy a guitar to keep yourself entertained. You have just purchased something that requires cubic dollars. Well im not worried, but im not dropping $700.00 on a set of pipes for a machine that will be used a few times a monthj, as it will compete for my time with the Sea-doo. And make sure you have a big garage, cause these thing multiply like rabbits. Before you know it, you'll have 3 more and a couple of parts bikes. Garage is 20x30, think im covered there. If you dont ride in mud or water ditch the airbox for pods if bot get a pro flow with k&n, i got a adjustable timmin plate ill sell ya it brand new , and for pipes if your not into drag racin and you want good all around power id go for t5s or pro circuit. For tight trails and mx id use pt mids. So if you bump the timming and add a good set of pipes youll wake her up I dont PLAN on riding in it much, but i will probably see the odd water/mud hole. so ill get teh flow pro with K&N. i can put some slots in the box to allow more air flow. My buddy has a nice clean set of pro circuit for sale too let me know if your interested Pm Me price if they will be suitable for trail riding. 120 is good if its stock.. its right where it should be at! For pipes look into getting Paul Turner High Revs, Pro circuits or DMC 916's IMO For the airbox... if you are trail riding just removed the lid and get a pro flow adapter post some pics and where abouts in Ontario you from?. Im in Trenton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUILDER Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Not a bad looking bike. 120 psi is not low at all for a stock bike. Find yourself a set of T5 pipes or FMF pipes either one will work great. O an last thing is listen to nothing Ride Race Live says becasue his shit is always broke down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O an last thing is listen to nothing Ride Race Live says becasue his shit is always broke down I just thought it was low compared to BRP that usually run 150PSI. Lots of FMF pipes on eBay. I'll also check them out. Do yourself a favor. Sell it ASAPWhy do you say that?I have a airbox with proflow fs in the fs section if your interestedSent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2Pm sent.

oldskool Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Nice looking banshee. I got some T6;s which are for stock bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolySheet Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I got T5s on my trail Banshee and they rock. I had PT Mids but didn't like them much. Haven't tried DMC yet. But pipes, jet, air box, +4 degrees timing and you will be happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 the stock motors push about 125psi when fresh rebuilt........so 121 is no where near rebuild status. I run fmf fattys on my bike and like em a lot....they're not bad just some don't care for them. make sure you get a clymers manual for the bike.....its worth its weight in gold. Also don't forget to rejet the carbs.....anytime you change something that makes it inhale or exhale easier you have to rejet. And a 20x30 garage to share with the sea-doo isn't big enough.....your going to need at least a 20x30 for the banshee itself.....remember these things can be FULLY dismantled...body and all.
