ak226 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) I could use some suggestions on how to get some bottom end out of my banshee and I'm not sure what the easiest sollution would be. I have toomey t5s and the power band hits mid throttle but I'm slow out of the hole. I just bought this '01 banshee and all that's done is pipes and a k&n so I need a good place to start where I can see an immediate improvement. I'm a college student so I don't have a ton of money to spend, but open to any suggestions, thanks. Edited April 4, 2005 by ak226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05bansh Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Buy a 4 stroke j/k! Maybe look into a 2-1 carb? Re-gearing? Put on a cool head or mill the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elka Banshee Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 No man, stay away from the 4-stroke. how much do you want to spend to get bottom end. I have all bottom end i need right now but it costs a couple pennies. porting the machine with a moderate mx port will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Start with compression. t5's aren't the best bottom end pipe on a stock stroke motor anyway. But, I'd start with compression and, timing and lightened flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboy Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 talk to boonman on here .030 milled off head and a cut flywheel will be shooting yourass outta the hole for very cheap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Mostly a topend pipe on a stock stroke motor... I rode JKJK's stroker and wow. Talk about bottom to mid. He does have it ported to match, but that's why I say with a stock stroke motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elka Banshee Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 May be the wrong topic but when you lighten your flywheel will it stall out easier? And what is the side effects if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I thought it'd stall out easier also. I'm a heavy guy. Well, it doesn't. It slows down faster which allows me to go into the corners hot and brake late. A lot of races are won by braking more than going. I have not found any down falls to mine yet and I was skeptical. Bit the bullet and I'm glad I did !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 you could just sell the t5 pipes on ebay and buy some fattys. fattys fit with toomey silencers, and sound a hell of alot better. fattys have real good low and mid with decent top end, and come nikel plated. they will rust if u dont take care of them but its not hard. clean and polish when u get mud or dirt on em.

Capone Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 toomey silencers fit on fatties? Anyone got some silencers for sale? any idea what it sounds like? I like the look of the toomeys and the look/performance of the fatties... it would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
