I could be wrong but I dont think they will be competing with any banshees. check out ritter cycle he does lots of clutch work for Polaris ATV. the auto in stock form is mellow but with clutch and engine work they can be made to go quite a bit faster and get there quite a bit quicker

 

they were quick just not that quick

 

The Cyclones were not as detuned from the factory as the later Trail Boss and Trail Blazer were.

As far as competing with a Banshee, I think he's blowing a little smoke your direction.

 

The bikes may be worth working on . If you have two one may be an organ donor . The won't compete with a banshee , they are a reasonably high tuned polaris 250 in one of polaris's early frames . They ran hot often and wore out the piston rings and bores often . The clutching runs 1000 rpms higher than later models , the port timing is much more aggressive and was tuned down in later years .

Feel free to call me at 618-644-3211 - I'll help you out .
