This is the last question (sorry.... LOL)

Okay I just want some peoples opinions on a few things.
Pipe and Silencer? (My 1st choice so far is FMF SST)
Wheels? (i like solid black wheels)
Tires? (dirt tires, already have paddles and hoosiers)
Bars? (Im about 5'10&quot
Also I bought my banshee about two weeks ago and am just wondering about a few things... What kind of pistons do they have stock and what do you guys recomend as a replacement...Also what kind of cluthc do you guys recomend.....
As far as my riding goes...... It will see trails, a few ocassioanl trips to the dunes, and a bit of late night, "you want to see my buddies banshee beat a mustang??"

SSTs are an excellent choice I love mine. For tires I just bought the new Holeshot XCR rears and they are a good quality tire that hooks up in anything (wheelies in snow).

Have these tires and HOLY HELL do they grip and rip...

Pipes:

All pipes are REALLY close to each other. Depends on what riding you do, trails, dunes, tracks, etc...

Low/Mid Pipe: Paul Turner, Gnarly, Moto Fast...

Mid/High: T5's, CPI, Fatty

All Around: SST, Pro Circuit, DMC

The stock pistons are yamaha pistons, they are the same as pro-x pistons [i think pro-x builds all the stock pistons for yamaha, maybe even the other manufacture's as well] I cant remember the different types [cast vs. forged?] but pro-x and stock pistons are heavier, dont expand that much, and last longer, whereas wiesco pistons are lighter, expand quiet a bit, and dont last that long. For a clutch, I still use my stock clutch, as long as your not putting out 50+ hp then I wouldnt upgrade the basket, maybe put a clutch kit in it. Clutch kit is basically just heavier grade springs [there is a dirtbike spring that matches, cant remember the type though]

Well we've ran Fattys before and they didn't really have the pull I wanted. I have a friend that runs Paul Turners on his MX banshee and he loves them. SST's or the Paul Turners are good but they are a chore to get fit into place. Pipe question is an age old battle, I personally the way my quad is setup I love Toomey's. Perfect fit, great customer service, best shine of any of the pipes i've had.

Wheels and tires: I've tried plenty of these too. Right Douglas .190 front and back. Pure Sport Bandit front tires, and Maxxis Razrs on the back. These are by far the best rear tire i have ran yet, great traction in different terrains, and they clean well enough.

Bars: I've got Renthal Banshee bars, durable enough. Rode soem with Tag Metals CR hi and lo bend bars and the bars sat down to far for me and i'm only 5'3&quot;. Again personal preference.

Pistons and Clutchs: After the stockers were taken out, Ive put 2 sets of Wiseco's in. We just did the 2nd topend in the quad and it's a 93. Some of the Vito's pistons are supposed to be kick ***, but I hear they were a little faster. I've tried three different clutches. Toomey clutches, EBC Dirt Racer, and the Barnett Dirt Digger. They all seem to work equally as well and depending on where you buy your stuff at price is comparable.
