Default wife's banshee surpised us

Well I went out to the creek today on the wife's banshee.I had took off the front brakes and hubs.I had installed a set of spindle mounts with the tires I was going to run on mine for asphault.I had also installed a marvin shaw on the back as well as my pro wedges.There's this guy out there with a YFZ(different cams,hi-compression piston,and who knows what else).He has actually outrun my brothers ported quadzilla.It really is a fast YFZ.

This guy has some land he said we could go to for some racing.There was quite a few YFZ's,Lee's 450 suzuki,and my wife's banshee.Lee's 450 and the built YFZ run good together.I couldn't get the banshee to launch in first without it wanting to point toward the sky and it would bog taking off in second.Lee suggested letting him try.He was beating everyone on it.I was so proud.LOL!I didn't know that banshee could run like that.All it has is T-5's,vito pistons,and K&N's.I think everyone was surprised.

Hoping to have mine running real soon.I do have a set of ported cylinders that could end up on her's soon.Just like to keep at least one of them running.

i known they're fast with pipes,but what i can tell you is by removing the fronts brakes and hubs is does help
alot on top end speed,i run my scrammy with no front brake too and disc,hubs,it does help on coming out the hole quicker.

Yeah,I thought it would help,but I never expected it to run like it did.

Yup, a piped/jetted/filtered shee will give a 450 all it wants and then some in a strait line. God bless yamaha.
