ledofthezep Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Personally I'd start with a new air filter setup. Pay attention to jetting also. Welcome to the HQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03LE Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) I'm gonna go with Led on the air filter. But when I got mine I was told "buy some new handle bars and a new axle cause they will be the first things you bend." Dam guy was right.

locogato11283 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 air filter, aftermarket head, pipes, v force reeds...not in any special order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capone Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Air filter, Pipes, Timing advance. Hell of a difference from a stock Shee. Then when that gets old, which it will, goto the head/porting/tires/dress up. A modding a shee is like a drug, it'll never be enough.

superdave Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 suspension seems to never get the action that it deserves.....axle, a-arms, and shocks....great investment. Banshees are fast, but if you can not go fast in the rough stuff then it does not matter how fast of a motor you have....An aftermarket air cleaner should be #1 to save the motor...after that it is..........?????

compose2 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 absolutely get pipes first. they make the most difference for the price. plus many other mods require good pipes to function correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2$ D 354263[/snapback] Smart thinking Ellison. And going by your signature, it looks like that's the way you've done it. Now you've got a chassis to handle the power of engine mods when required. Welcome to the BHQ, Sikwidit'. ... What make of airfilter is it? Whatever, get yourself a 'Recharger Kit' (cleaning kit). Unless the filter is fairly new, you'll be surprised how much dirt you'll remove. Also, hows your gearing? Is it original, ie. 14 teeth on the front sprocket and 41 on the rear. And what height are your rear tyres? Woops ... you guys call them 'tires', . BTW, Guys: Has the Banshee allways had 14/41 as standard or was it ever different? Rare.

trail rider Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 well what you need to go with first is a set of gold powerbands for your stock pipes. you can get them at mike's cycle world. 2nd you'll need some muffler bearings cause there always going out ( i'm on my 4th set) and finally you'll need to get you a graphics kit 5 hp right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) id have to say a high, performance sticker then a boost bottle. Seriously, don't even ride it with the stock air filter! Easiest to jet when you do pipes ands filter at the same time. oh yea I have some pipes I want to sell also, they are plated Fatty's very good pipe for a stock or modded shee, I just have a little too much flow for them at this point. I need to switch to a pipe that is not as good on a stock banshee that can keep up with the flow. Shoot me an offer if ya want. If not they are going to end up o ebay, and judging by the condition of most of the pipes on there they should have no problem selling the guys above are right, suspension before motor mod (exception of pipes and filter and maybe a coolhead) Cause hell stock pipes are just plain horrible! I went the other route, and got porting first, but hey I needed a new topened anyways, I didn't get my rear suspension untill it blew out also But now I want some good front suspension so I don't killmyself jumping.
