I just want to know a few things
My friend was going to get me a banshee with no motor and i was thinkin a 100 ci or 89ci or one of them with a six speed motorcycle tranny in toa banshee! WOULD IT WORk i talked to a motor cycle guy who knew alot and he said witha smaller engine it would work so im lookin for a v twin motor but smaller than 100ci and a old banshee with no motor and tranny! anyone have an opion or a motor? banshee has to have everythin just no motor and trans!

Find yourself a wrecked Harley and grab the motor out of that. You could even take the trans, which will be a 5 speed. There are PLENTY of aftermarket parts for the Harley motors and they are TORQUE MONSTERS!!! A 6 speed tranny new costs around 3K, even a little more. So just go for the 5 speed. Connecting the 2 would be the challenge. You will most likely need to go with belt drive primary though.

 

and you're out of your mind...

 

I think that would be fun to have that sound on a quad. You won't be the fastest out there, but you will have a 1 of a kind quad. Go for it, and post pics!

 

sounds like a lot of work. when a stock banshee has lots of options when it comes to performance.

 

yeah, but EVERYONE has a Banshee, who do you know that has a Harley motor in their quad? It isn't always about being the fastest up the hill! (I'm sure I'll take heat for that!)

Its not going to be a vwtin i just found on ebay a sideby side engine or striaght two 650? also in the future im goin to ask how to wire the sucker up.. Do you guys think it would fit in a 250ex or a blaster or a 300ex.. not spenden a ton of moola on a quad.. besides its for fun to go through the gears oh i also found a 440 kawasaki engine belt driven anyway to convert toa heavy chain?? has 28.000 miles think i should get it?? but i need to get a quad any idea to which one to get???

 

The parallel twin 650 is from Yamaha, and it's an aircooled motor, old technology. They can be made to run strong, for a price. As a stock motor it's very good, but only a 2 valve per cylinder. If it were me, and you were stuck on a twin that was not V configuration, I would go with the Ninja 500 twin, that motor is very strong and it has a lot of aftermarket parts available for it, I believe it's liquid cooled, also. The Yamaha TDM 850 parallel twin would be the ultimate, the later models are a 270 degree crank, but they are harder to find. PM me once you get started, and I'll help you get started..........Ernie

 

Hey ernie! did you get my message? im also slacker549! I also found a 440 air cooled kawasaki twin enigne belt drive can i convert?? The reason why i want a paraell motor is that it will fit in a 250 ex and a blaster! banshees are alittle on the pay more side.. Im tryin on a low cost buget.What about a three wheeler?? 250r 200s?? And how would i go about wiring it up? Today i tried to go up to a sand pit by me to meet a kid on his x girl frineds z250 but i had a flat tire but a few weeks ago i had the tire looked at and it had more than seven nails ineach tire so i got it back and now the stem fell threw into the wheel.. so today i had to live without my addiction.. To me it dosent matter what kind of quad just as its not smaller than a 250 then im fine until the next day is this bad if i want to ride everyday? and cant get enough of riding???
