Whats your oppnion on putting my firends 02 450 motor into my banshee frame, it will be alot cheaper than the new yfz450 and my banshee already has all the body work done i have axis shocks, lonestar +2 a arms, itp mxr's, douglas beadlock rims, gripper ceet, crome billited parts, steel lined controls, lights off, fenders cut, durablue rear axle, lonestart steering stem, renthal fat bars, the whole machine is basically tricked out the onlything stock on it is the plastic and the frame, i figure that his motor is a lot more powerful than mine, and the shop that would do it is already a sponsor so it would be done for free, and if i did get his motor i would just put on a whitebro's pipe and some new reeds, i was just wonder what u guys think about it. and if i do it how much do u think this motor is worth???

 

The CRF450 motor isn't what makes the quads with it good mxer's it's the chassis. The banshee doesn't have the best chassis design for MX. If you are looking for power it's easier to get it from a shee engine, the 450's are pretty limited in power output over stock. Also the CRF450 is a 4 stroke so it has no reeds [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

A honda motor vs the shee motor?? you can do so much more with the shee motor and not have to rebuild it as often. IMO I wouldnt do the swap.

 

Me either. IMO

 

ive had experience with the crf450 imo it just doesnt cut it...
