Well, how about a new update. My old time was posted with a friend driving while I had to work. With me driving the bike ran 7.60 at 86mph in the 1/8th mile and a 9.98 at 93.4 in the 1000ft, all done with only a 16 tooth sprocket change to the front. Banshees are truly amazing. Hard to believe that a 352cc bike can run that hard with a 195lb driver.

 

well, i have an update to...7.60 in the 1/8 at 87 mph, 12.30 in the 1/4 at 98. Not enuff gear for the quarter, but i just like goin fast. i hope when we can get some tires other than these junk duros, i can run in the 7.40s to 7.50s. High hopes I know.

 

I just went out and tried w\ my dirt tires and ran 8.65 at 72.6 mph.

 

i'll agree 2 strokes are easier and cheaper to build. matter of fact i am looking for a used banshee to build just for drag racing. save the ole 4 stroke for riding! i've always rode 2 strokes and liked them. anyway, times i was wondering if ya'll would give ya'll's 60 ft as well. rw/satge2 ds650 60 ft/1.602 1/8 8.022@77 not bad for a 500lb monster!!! check out my pics page, see how700+ lbs will knot up a slick!

 

I Had a 1.582 60ft times, tires aired up hard and slipping the clutch.

1.58 60 ft.!! i wish i could get that. im only turning 1.8 60 fts, if i could get 1.5s im pretty sure i'd be in the 7.4 7.5s.

 

7.8 and 7.5 is real fast for a gas running 350 if you wanna go real fast you got to get alcohol carbs my buddie was running 7.8 like me put a set of carbs on with lock out clutch after burning 1 out first run and was running high 6's after a 1-5 overide tranny he is doing mid 6's all day with a stock, crank,frame,ignition so thats were you start mine are on the way i'll lyk what i run after carbs

 

we can't run alcohol due to our class restrictions( when we race on dirt), thats y our setups pretty mild.

bubba, can you tell me what tires and suspension your running?

 

Bad, I was running 18'' American Racing tires and my stock suspension just being lowered. I made mounting brackets to move the lower part of the front shocks out on the lower A-arms to lower the front, and use the Durablue lowering piece on the rear. The swingarm is only +4, and I have a homeade set of wheelie bars. The problem is our track hooks so hard that I have to either try to spin the tires or slip the clutch. Even with only a 16 tooth in the front I cant dump it in first gear. The bike will slam the wheeie bar and just bog down for a second. I imagine some alky or more power could overcome it, but it 's enough for me right now. The 1.58 was good, but it has done a 1.59 and a 1.60 also. The tires were aired up to 10lbs and I just happened to ride it out good.

 

BajaBomb, That pic of the wrinkling slick is too cool[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] That's a damn good time for only what the bike has. Lots of grunt on the bottom end to pull those kind of 60ft times.
