Bryan_aceves Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 So I have a banshee bore to 370 66mm pistons , cool heads 34 carbs CPI big pipes Cylinders are ported . Yesterday I was racing w a friend in the sand . We both had paddles . He had a banshee aswell but he 65.5 mm pistons . Other than that he was stock . But he was taking off better than me and he was winning me in 300 ft race . We were both taking off in 2nd gear . Why does his banshee seem to have more power and better response if my banshee has mods that are suppose to make It faster ? Maybe jetting ? Idk . FYI I’m new to banshees . This is literally my first banshee and I got it Like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Tire choice, gear ratio, rider weight, rider ability, sand moisture content. Tons of things...My Banshee acts different daily in the sand due to moisture (air and sand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Pretty big carbs for a 370cc motor. Also, the CPI could be hindering performance as well. They might be hurting you, especially off the bottom. There's a lot of factors at play here. Have you checked compression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan_aceves Posted November 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I just had someone put new pistons on it like 3 weeks ago . Compression should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compression should be fine Unfortunately, that’s only what part of the equation. Domes and base gasket can also change compression. You do what you want, but there’s an issue somewhere.

Liwa-banshee Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 My friend, went through the same experience. And a rigorous trial & error experiment. Turns out...air filters. Change’em and you should be good. Don't believe me? Remove your filters and try revving the engine and see the difference. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
