Default 2003 Raptor VS @2001 Banshee

Heres the story my raptor has been able to smoke my cousins banshee. He had just bought it used 2001 it had fancy reed's power core II's 39mm carbs advanced timing key jetted, 14t/40t and he just got it rebuilt and he called me talking crap about how hes gonna smoke my @$$

now heres the question i need something that will keep me in the game with him or is he just not used a banshee with its regular power potential? or am i just screwed any ways i look at it

another thing givin what you know about the too machines tell me what you think the outcome will be were about equal riding ability

If his bike is running good and is in tip top shape you might have a problem beating him in a straight line drag. Tel him to race you on the trails [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

It's all about the money.

Spend enough of it and you can make a Banshee out-accelerate just about anything with wheels.

39 mm carbs are WAY too big for his motor. Sell em and get some 28's, maybe 32's..

roostking is right, those carbs are way to big for a basically stock motor.
