DevilDriver Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 ive got a 2002 banshee top has been bored 40 over and rebuilt with Vitos super stock pistons. i feel a bit more power but my friends on the 400exs with pipes and yfz 450s kill me out of the corners and on tight trails. its gettin to where im ready to dump the 410 pound banshee for a 350 pound honda 450 that pulls like a monster out of turns and on the trails. granted if i get any of them on a long straight away i can catch and pass them with no problem the 450 is close but enough lengh and i can get him. if i keep it i plan on a full exhaust in the fall FMF fatties or Gnarly some aftermarket reeds and possibly carbs. over the winter it ll get xtended A arms and dura blue in the rear shocks, etc , etc. what are the best mods for a banshe off the start line till it hits powerband?? thanks in advance for any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) man, quit whining and get some pipes. if you want low response then get one of the sets of pipes that you mentioned below. if you have stock pipes, then your machine is just sucked down bigger than shit. you'll have a totally different machine with pipes. also, if you need to take corners better than your gonna need suspension. didn't you say a arms and axles? man, you know what you need to do so quit bein a cheap ass and do it. and why do you have an '02 machine that's already bored .40 over?

DevilDriver Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 lol dude that was funny as shit. i didnt think i was whining. more an issue of being a broke ass not a cheap ass. i spent most my money buying it then rebuilding it. ok i ll buy some pipes and do the suspension work. as far as the 40 over on an 02 i dont know its history other then the second time i rode it the motor shit the bed. a piece of one of the rings came apart and scraped the cylinder wall. i could have gotten away with 20 over probrobly but why not just open it up a bit more. besides ive still got another bore out or 2 if i need it. by then i ll probrobly be resleeving for a big bore kit anyways. yeah it sucks that i had to dump money into it as soon as i got but but now i know exactly whats in it and how the insides look. considering ive only got about $2000 total invested for a 2002 banshee with a fresh 40 over top end, no wrecks, good plastics, etc i think im doin pretty good. now its just a matter of getting another $2000 to dump on the mods i want and then i ll piss on the 450. hmm wheres that credit card app. thanks for the input.

BdBanshee Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 ive got a 2002 banshee top has been bored 40 over and rebuilt with Vitos super stock pistons. what are the best mods for a banshe off the start line till it hits powerband?? thanks in advance for any suggestions 1st of all I would up the compression by getting your head milled or buying a aftermarket head with smaller domes. Then advance your timing and get your flywheel lightened. These mods all will make the power come on sooner. Pipes are a great bang for the buck and compliment all the above mods.
