OK I have two bikes, bought both of them new at M&M powersports in Tulsa. (Broken Arrow) They are both 2003.

When both were stock the Banshee would leave the Blaster easily. Everyone knows that.

Then I started modding the Blaster. I put on a Toomey B-1 kit. And jetted it right. The 310 they send with the kit is way to rich. I settled on about 270 or 260 or so. Better foam air filter from the Toomey kit. No airbox lid. Removed the oil injector with Trenga's block off kit. Premix with castor 927.

I also had put on Laeger extended front a-arms and Elkas with rezzies on the front. But the back suspension was stock.

The Banshee was basically stock. My brother and I were dragging the two bikes on pavement, we both weigh about 190-200.

And after that work the Blaster would KEEP UP with the Banshee! The Banshee had a little better holeshot, and it gained about 1 to 2 bike lengths right at the beginning, but I think that was mostly because you couldn't put the power on the Blaster right away because it would wheelie too easy.

Both bikes were in tune good, and running good. And I swear to god the Blaster would keep up with the Shee through all the gears, except maybe 6th. We never got all the way through that because the place we were running wasn't long enough.

So that was pretty sick, it happened a couple of months ago, so I sent the Banshee motor off to Patriot for porting and head work, and crank work and clutch work, because it's sick that a Blaster could keep up with a Banshee, but it's true, with very minimal work, just a pipe and jets basically.

But it will be a different story when the Shee motor comes back ported and set up for race gas.

In the mean time I put a +4 swingarm on the rear of the blaster, I put the Banshee axle on the blaster and some 20" holeshots. And an Elka with rezzie on the rear of the Blaster. Now the Blaster doesn't have that "tippy" feel anymore.

And when I get the Banshee built back up it will be time to get a ported 240 head kit from Hollywoood dirt production for the Blaster.

But the bottom line is that it is true that a Blaster with a little work can keep with a stock Shee because I have both and I have no reason to lie about it. You can take that for what it's worth.

2 lengths right off the start is quite a bit. if its getting the blaster by more then 3 by 5th gear it beat it bad enough to me

 

Just the holeshot. The Shee didn't gain any more at all after that.

 

thats pretty good for a blaster, i believe him because i rode a banshee today and it is extremely hooked up, racing reeds, fattypipe, powercore2 silencers, jetkit, and is bored 40. then i got on a blaster with a FATTY, JETKIT, AND BORE 20. AND THE BANSHEE TO ME DIDNT FELL TO MUCH FASTER.
