Stroker Or Not?


Recommended Posts

I have a 2000 banshee with fmf fatty pipes, pro design intake, v force reeds and some other goodies.... I do a combination of duning and trail riding and am looking for mods that i can perform that will give me a strong top and bottom end... currently my top end is stock and so is my crank... I plan to put in some vito's pistons this winter and maybe a Trinity Stage 5 head.... Well neways my main question is whether or not i should put a stroker in it while im at it.... I've heard all the stories of people seriously screwing up there quads(having the crank seperate) so i was wondering i it is worth it for me to spend the money on getting a stroker crank and having trued and welded??

It is always worth the money. Spend the money with someone who knows what they are doing. Tony Doukas Racing or Grand River Racing is a good start.

If you have the money, go for it. I just took one on my last break in run yesterday. It's pulling into the powerband solid now. The amazing thing I noticed was how usable the power is. Sometimes I forget I'm in 2nd instead of first when coasting almost to a stop and then getting on the gas. When riding on wet pavement I use to hit he gas and when the powerband hit it'd break the tires super easy. I was on a wet street the other day, hit the gas and the pull started so soon it gripped and pulled the front end up... amazing. I have 28mm (trail mx riding) fattys, v-force and grand river racing ported the cylinders for the stroker crank.

 

Keep in mind, you'll never be the fastest. If you need a crank or want to spend some money that's a good way to go. You'll need more than a crank though.

It's not cheap, plus all the other things you wanted to do... topend... etc...

 

It is a gain in performance for sure though.
