blue95shee Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I have a 95 Banshee with DG pipes (junk and hopefully soon to be gone to make way for Toomey T-5's) a Trinity 2 into 1 carb kit with unknown jetting and a K&N filter. I want to do some more mods to it. Can you just remove the head and have it milled?? How muchshould it be milled?? I can and will run octane booster if needed. I heard that the shape of the combustion chambers is important so if you just mill a stock head you'd be changing the shape/dimensions. Is this true?? What other cheap and easy mods can I do. Timing advance key?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Cheap mods. You can mill the head. Cheap, yet effective power. You will be changing the squish. Not the dome shape. More compression. Cheap, and you will like the increase. You can also have the flywheel lightened for a snappier throttle response. Both can be done for slightly over $100. If you want to mill the head, do not take more than .030" off the stock head. You should be able to run pump fuel. Definitely worth it!!!! You could also get a degree key, or mod your stator plate to advance the timing. Go to about +3 or +4 to stay on pump fuel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXWS6 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 my shee has never had heating problems, but since i milled the head .025", should i take some precautions in order to prevent over heating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 hey boonman i had been thinking of havign my flywheel lightened but had a ? first will my powerband hit harder with the lightened flywheel i understand fully how the lighter flywheel is able to spin up to speed much easier and all that good stuff but i really like my smooth powerband that i have now and myself not being a very experienced rider wanted to know how it would effect the way that the power comes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will like the results, everyone that tries it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfmer20 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Where's the best place to have the flywheel lightened? And how much does it usually cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Like BD said, the power comes on a bit sooner, and it is alot more pleasurable to ride. Throttle response is mean!!!! Cost is $65 with shipping included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXWS6 Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 hey boonman, is the shee gonna run hotter once i mill my head? I have never had problems with it puking or overheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dittmer Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Cost is $65 with shipping included from who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Cost is $65 with shipping included from who? From boonman. He made a post advertising on here, and threw it on ebay too. Hey boonman, is this something you're only gonna do for a short period of time or could I shoot you a pm and have you lighten a flywheel for me in a couple months or so? THANKS!!

Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I got my head milled from DAB racing for $45.00. Got the fly wheel lightened for like $20.00. Best two mods for that price ever. Going by just the cold cranking pressure Dave took my head to about a 20cc from stock. He said its as far as he could go. He also had to rechamber the domes for proper squish clearance. On the flywheel lightening thing, I've thought of building the tooling to do this in on of my CNC lathes. How much is a new flywheel??

How much is a new flywheel?? A stock flywheel from Yamaha is just about $370, depending on which website you check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I damn near fell out of my chair....There doesn't seem to be $370 worth of anything in that flywheel, other than the "where else you gonna get one?" factor.
