mattb348 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hey guys. I am new here. I recently bought a 2002 banshee in mint condition off of e-bay for $3,300. I am a dirt bike person (I also have a mint 2002 KX 250), but I am starting a collection of toys (now I just need a KX 500, 250R 3 wheeler, and quadracer 500), so I couldn't resist buying a banshee for such a great price. Anyways, this thing is 100% stock, other than the holeshot tires. I like to keep my stuff all stock except for things like handlebars, tires, and pipes. Pipes are the ONLY engine mod I will bother doing. And of course I will jet it too, if need be. As stated, I will be going with pro circuit pipes & silencers. My question is this: do you guys think this will make a big difference in power & top speed? I have read ALOT of posts here on this matter, and one of them said putting on pc pipes made the shee go like 8 mph faster, and also broadened the power band, which was good for pulling wheelies. I LOVE riding wheelies, so this is definitely what I'm looking for. I am 160 lbs and on pavement my stock shee pulls wheelies in 1st through 3rd gear, but not 4ths & up this is alot different than my kx 250 dirtbike, as that thing can pull wheelies in its top gear (5th), and the thing is 100% stock, not even piped. Do you think I can pull wheelies in more gears with the pc pipes & silencers? Lastly, do you think I will have to re-jet after putting on pro circuit pipes? Will I have to richen or lean it out? Thanks a million for any help, its greatly appreciated! - Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnite Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yes, you need to rejet richer. If your only going to put on pipes, try 280 mains, 27.5 pilots, needle in third [stock] position. Thing about the shee, it's very easy to get more and more power with simple mods. Getting rid of the air box lid, and puting in a proflow, getting a 4 degree timing advance stator plate, and shaving the cylinder head .030 or .035 are all cheap and very effective at making the shee a fire breathing missle. With these mods, try 340 mains and #30 pilots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 One thing about PC's they have a nice powerband hit in midrange.PC's do like a fatter pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
