Lriver1004 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Hi BansheeHQ, So I purchased my first banshee about a month ago and I love it. The 2 stroke power is addicting to say the least. Anyways, I wanted to upload a pic of it but it seems it's above the size limit. The guy we purchased the banshee from wasn't very informative on the mods. He says it's a 421 but I can't confirm that. It does have a set of athena cylinders(haven't read much positive about these) so I'm assuming it's at least a 392cc. Also has a chariot 2 to 1 carb kit with a 36mm PWK and pro circuit pipes. It has a set of alba beadlock wheels and 18inch holeshot tires on the back. Everything on the bike seems like it's setup for MX racing, hence all mid-low powerband parts on the bike but I'm more of a top end guy. I was wondering if It was worthwhile going to T5 pipes (sound awesome) and twin pwk 28mm or tm28 carbs. I just want to get a little more top end put of it. I've never ridden another banshee so I really have no gauge of how it should run. But the bike runs awesome, as far as I can tell, so I'm hesitant to change the setup but I can't leave well enough alone. Also, if I can upload a pic maybe someone recognizes the bike and can tell me if it's really a 421. It is blue and green with pink graphics.

SandSlingerOR Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 What pipes are on it now? CPI's are a better choice I'd think. Plenty of low end for fun riding and good top. Yes swapping back to dual carbs is a good idea. I've ran the pwk 28s and they are a great carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read they're more of a low to mid power pipe. The bike runs great but I can tell it's choking out up top. I actually purchased some T5s already but they're just sitting in the garage.

SandSlingerOR Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Pc's are honestly good pipes, better than t5s for sure. I really enjoyed my pcs, but regretted getting rid of the CPI's I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can't directly compare pc's to T5s since they have a different powerband in mind. Quality wise, the pc's do seem stouter.

Definitely going to 2 carbs. I'm keeping all my parts just in case.Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
