got hotwiring a banshee


Recommended Posts

yeah i love it ... its not running 97 hp ... i went riding with one of my buddies last noight and i roasted him but not like i should have ... just curious ... can reeds go bad if it is stored for a few years ... or do they just go out from wear only ... and what reads would be best for my set up ... and is 40:1 mix good or i was thinking about 50:1 or maybe spliting the differance with like a 45:1 mix ... and the clutch on the bike is a racing motercycle clutch and there isn't enough pull... it either doesnt reease all the way or slips ... i cant get it ajusted so it releases when pulled and grabs fully ... is there any other ajustment than just on the handle

Ok not to be a douche but i must point out once again the seller is a liar unless im completely fucken retarded and cant tell the difference from stock jugs and cubs/cheetas. Like said before if its not a cub motor or a cheeta it would require a 12mm stroker to be 420. Ill post the pics from your profile so others can confirm this and see the bike. I have a feeling you've been dooped by some ass hat. sorry if im annoying you man i just hear this on endless posts and on alot of ebay auctions so it really gets me riled up.

Ill tell ya right now that bike above isnt making near 97 hp, not even 77hp. I think pyramid reeds are made by duncan racing, and dont know if they are still made or replacement pedals are available. Havent seen much of either one lately.

Ya man those arnt cub or cheetah cylinders, if they were cheetah's they would have power valves on the sides by the exhaust ports,

those are stock cylinders an it has a cool-head,

and if you run the 4mil stroker crank on stock cylinders I think its a 370,

I am pretty shure you would have to run the spacer plate for stock cylinders,

If I were you I would run either 32:1 or 40:1 for premix,

like i said be4 i know its not a cub engine ... but they are trinitys cylinders ... he hot the stage 4 engine kit stroked to a 420 ... he had all dunken intake put on it and the paul tuner exhaust ... had it ported and pollished at trinity and strapped on the dyno and tuned ... they arent freakin stock cylinders ... it has trinitys logo stamped right on it ... and it isnt a "coolhead" head ... its thier stage 4 head ... says it right on the top ... i would post pics of it to show every1 but i dont have a digital camra to upload any new picks ... but enough of this trying to prove eachother wrong ... if any1 is in the kc mo area maybe they could come look at it in person ... untill i get new pics up thats the only way any thing is gonna get proved ... but i know what i have is ligit ... that was one of the reasons i called trinity ... he told me what to look for on the jugs and the carbs and everything ... and he said it sounded like it has what he said ... there wouldnt be any way to check the cc or stroke over the phone but everything else checked out...

 

but anyway ... its still cleaning the varnish out of the carbs the more it runs ... every time it gets more power ... last night i rode it and then parked it for a bit then got back on and was screemin around on it ... then all of a sudden the sound changed a little so i backed off the throttle and when i layed into it again and it hit the powrband it poped the front up and threw me off ... never had done that be4 in second gear ... without tryin ... i was just wantin to go fast sittin all the way forward on the bike and everything andf it still jumpped up ... but i scuffed up my back a little and broke the clutch lever ... just orderd some asv levers... has any1 ran those be4 and how are they ... i wanted them cause the ajustable pull feture and the given unbreakable 5 year warenty ...

 

any problems to watch for with them or tips on installing ...

and you know even if it isnt 97 hp thats fine ... hp dosent really matter to much to me ... i dont have anything to prove to anybody yet ... its the first quad i have actually owned ... be4 this i just rode my buddys extra... but im happy with it ... i love the bike ... i think it looks great and its still faster than hell ... its a blast ... and im for sure satisfied with it ... if is a hell of a lot better than my buddys suzukki z400 ... after ridin the shee and hoppin on that for a few laps around the track it feels like your sittin on a freakin tank ... ... but on the track he can keep up with me ... its got alot of sharp turns and im just gettin used to the bike .. and he has been ridin the same track at his house for over two years now... he knows exactly how to ride it ... i still hit the soft spots and slide around the turns every now and then ... but im happy just keepin up with him ... he's got alot more exeriance than me ... but strait line ... he didn't stand a chance ...

No ones tryin to be a dick man, just sayin theres no way its a 420 unless it does infact have that 12mil crank. If it does thats cool but ive never heard of trinity doing anything close to that. I have STOCK cylinders that are ported by Trinity, thats what you have (Still stock cylinders). From pictures looks like you just have PJ carbs, boost bottle, cool head, pipes and an amp link. Damn that bike would look badass after the shaving of the fenders... Get to it! Welcome to the HQ, lmao as you can see no one believes shit til they see it.

i know it would look awesome .. but i ride through aALOT of mud ... and getting muddy is fun but dont wanna get covered every night when i ride it ... and i know no1 beleves it till thay see it ... obviosuly ... but im pretty sure the guy wasnt screwing me over to sell a bike ... i did my research on it and everything is addin up ... and the seller and i still talk from time to time ... about the bike or just to bs ... we both work for GM ... im a tech in raytown mo and he is a service manager in nj ... so its pretty easy to make conversation about other shit than just the quad ... he is tryin to find the dyno sheet and recepts... but im not gonna hold my breth ... its been in storage for a few years cause he got married and hasn't rode it sence ... so no tellin if he'll be able to find them ... but i honestly think he wouldntscrew me over and then sit on the phone and bs for 30 min about work and other shit... but lets say you guys are right ... why would trinity be cast into the side of the jugs ... and they are dunken carbs ... and dunken does make the reeds...

i had gotten a parts bike that was labeled 420 and the cyls looked stock but different,.... but were stock. It had a +4 crank in it but the cyls where sleeved over 68mm with a head milled and cut for bore and stroke. weither or not it was 420 I dont know and dont care,. but it could have been.

exactly ... its meant to look stock so ppl pullin up wouldnt think twice about racin it ... compaired to shee with pollished jugs and alot of chrome and power valves andall ... looks dont mean shit when your talking about engine internals ... why dont you guys look up some info on some1s ride be4 you start talkin shit ... i told you all over and over the same info ... where to look to verify i know what the hell i talking about and you tards still keep puttin the same stuff ... i know its not a freakin cheata cub engine ... and it isn't freakin stock jugs either ... its not stock reeds and its not the cool head its trinitys stage 4 head ...
