3 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Yes i just got a Banshee, and man i am excited like a kid on Christmas mourning :yelrotflmao: . My first question to you all is how far can i go on tunning up my ride without having to use race fuel?? Oh yeah you will probably says ``you will end up using race fuel anyway because you own a Banshee`` but i still want to know what i could modify before having to make the move. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Depends on your compression and timing. At or near sea level, 21cc domes and +4 is safe for premium pump gas.... After that, you'd be borderline for the need of a 50/50 mix of race/pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So starting from stock engine, new pipes, advance timming, jetting and some mods on the air box it's going to be good with premium pump gas?? no domes for now, until i have to open the engine. thanx man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Ok, as a HQ Legend do you have any other suggestions for that kind of tunning?? i am trail riding mostly so maybe a little low or mid range wouldnt hurt. Or any other good upgrade like suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'm just an HQ legend because I blab a lot (and I"m bored at work and try to stay home for the most part, to save money for my "toy"...) Since you mentioned trails...which I'm glad you did, I'd put the money in suspension first. All that power won't do a lick of good without being able to put it to the ground. The cheap way is to get your stock rear revalved/resprung for your weight and riding style, and pick up some YFZ 450 front shocks. But...the right way is to get some nice aftermarket a Arms, I'd recommend +2 +1 and some nice shocks. Even cheapo Works shocks will be better than stockers. But, you get what you pay for... Elka sure are nice. I just got some Competition Marvin Shaws for mine...but, I drag race and dune ride. These shocks on your bike would probably rattle your fillings loose on trails!! But for what I do...they work great. Members here and ebay is a good place to start to look for suspension upgrades... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thank dude, i am a mountain biker too and i was already looking at these front shocks who look like Canadian tire shock on their 200$ mountain bikes. Right now i can have a good deal on a set of used Toomey T6, so i will start with it and with all the previously mentioned stuff than go with the suspension. Is it a good move to buy used pipes?? just repacking it must do the job ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
