Handyman Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 for $150 there really isn't all that much you can do performance wise besides getting new replacement reeds...for cosmetic stiff there's alot you can do.. billet handlebar clamps, pegs, control levers...look on ebay and you will see what's out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black sunshine Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Might be able to get a set of YFZ450 front shocks on it for that.... Timing plates are cheap K&N and adaptor plate Tires? There's more, I just can't think of any others at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be worth while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black sunshine Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Maybe getting rid of the stock air box and going with some filters with outers? Would that be worth while? I would stay away from pods if your going to be riding in rain or splashing through puddles. You should let your motor breathe a bit more, holes in the lid, or no lid. Going with no lid (especially with a K&N) will require you to richen up your jetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 What difference is switching the wires going to make? sometime in the mid ninetys yamaha started hooking the coil wires up backward, DON'T KNOW WHY. But it increases your spark energy a little, You may have to go up one jet size. Did this to my bike, didn't have to rejet but did notice a little better throttle response.

Thanks! if it was me i would sell that radiator for about 275 + your 150 budget thats 425 - 25 for decent stock radiator off ebay take the 400 and buy a nice set of front shocks .you will be faster on the bike with better shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 what ? who told you that here's a link to where I got that information: Banshee Jetting FAQ www.dfn.com/benkaren/jetfaq.html Looks like most of his info came from BansheeHQ, I did this to my bike, maybe it's in my head but I could feel a bit more response.

shanYE west Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 sometime in the mid ninetys yamaha started hooking the coil wires up backward, DON'T KNOW WHY. But it increases your spark energy a little, You may have to go up one jet size. Did this to my bike, didn't have to rejet but did notice a little better throttle response. Thats a new one.. I'd get a timing plate and have the head milled and rechambered. That'll be the best bang for the buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
