Banshee vs. Honda 400ex


Recommended Posts

My friend has a Honda 400ex: lonestar frame withlonestar swingarm and +2 a-arms,axis shocks,k&n intkae and jets,wiesco piston,lrd 465 big bore kit,stage 1 hot cam,450r timing chain,pro circuit full exhaust,holeshot tires,dura blue +4 axle,renthal bars,lowering kit,msd ingition,alumin airbox,and oil cooler

 

My banshee is a 1998 with 18 inch tall tires on 10 inch wide rims, 21's in the front,.50 over, lone star extended axle, airbox removed, dyno 2-1 exhaust, vito pistons, mild portjob, crank welded and trued, adjustable timing plate, boost bottle, reed spacers, and thats about it i think.

we are both about 180 pounds almost 6 foot tall

we were thinkin about racing 330 feet on pavement. I would like an honest opinion cause if i race for money i dont really want to lose.

 

thanks in advance

honestly man you should blow his doors off! i raced a 400ex once when i had my 97 shee with just t-5's and waited on him a while at the finish line so if i was you i would definitely kick it a nickel!!

You should eat him on takeoff, sounds like you have good bottem end, but they say not as much topend with those 2 into 1 pipes. enless your geared fairly high, he could pull past you at the end. I've raced a couple 400's (kfx, EX,) and both the riders are very good, probably better than me, and they stayed rite with my banshee on a drag on both pavement and in a grass field.

Yeah, just for giggles yesterday i switched from t5's to the dynoport i had laying around and DamN! no top end power at all, but great bottom end.

Ok, back on track, there is a guy 15 min away from me that has a 400ex modded out the a@@ Its like a 440 bore with a stroker crank, the only thing stock in the motor is the case. And my banshee would outrun it before i was ported! But i dunno with that dynoport :shrugani:

i forgot to mention i had noss coolheads with 21cc domes... so you guys all agree if i have t-5's and mayby a taller tire i could beat this guy. cause hes willing to race pink slips or cash which would be nice to have. so if i race him i wanna make sure i have the advantage over him. he is pretty experience at riding and jumping but not drag racing. Im not either

I think its gonna be close man. Those 400's can be made pretty fast. Drawback of em is he's done almost everything he can for power whereas your bike still has tons of potential. He probably knows this which is why he's trying to find a mildly modded shee to race for pinks. He's tired of his 400! If you raced him 10x, you'd probably win 6 of em. Shit odds if your racing for pinks. Change the pipe, get some porting, then race.

Racing for " pink's " means that you race title for title. Whoever wins rides off with both quads. Not very fun if you lose. Most losers just keep riding and don't hold up their end of the bargain.
