Check them out. I finally had some time to put the bike together. It's a rocket.

I've been telling you about these bikes before. So now I took some pix for ya.

Shee buildup

Shee and Blaster

I edited it so you click right on the links.

 

nice pics, need some with it in action [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Very sharp!

The transparent cover absolutly R-O-C-K-S! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Nice! Really like what you did to the engine, looks sick!

 

sick banshee man..i love those pipes, the intake really caught my eye too, how much horse it pushing? can u ballpark?

 

The horsepower is in the upper 60's. I haven't even opened it up all the way, but it will pull a wheelie easy in 4th gear. It is Sick.

Here's what Dan did for me:

Cylinder porting alterations-

-Modify and reshape intake and boost port
-Modify and reshape exhaust
-Modify and reshape transfers
-Polish exhaust
-Modify sleeve
-Modify piston where applicable
-Clean casting flaws and contour within transfer updrafts

28mm Flat slide carb kit with cables: Also removed the airbox and running clamp on Unis.
V-Force reed cages:
Crankshaft True and Welding:
Wiseco Piston kit w/ bearings:
Cylinder boring: Little boring was needed, it was pretty new already.

Since I'm using the Dyna ignition, I didn't need the timing plate.



Aftermarket billet head with domes and o-ring kit: (NOSS brand)
Gasket and seal kit:

I'm trying to head out to Little Sahara in the next week or 3. I'll try to get some action pix then.

Already Got some Hauler paddles mounted.

 

what exactly does the lock out clutch do? and does the guy at patriot do any other type of porting lik mx or maybe just not duner?



p.s. clean bike!!

 

The locking clutch has centrifugal weights that hold tighter and tighter the higher the engine revs. They are adjustable, and that's what the modded clutch cover is for. Besides the cool effect of you can see your oil level, and spinning clutch, you can also remove the small clear part of the clutch if you want to change the adjustment without draining your oil and coolant.

And yes, Dan at Patriot does all kinds of porting including MX and methanol drag. here's his page: http://www.patriotracing.net/Banshee.htm


And speaking of coolant, has anyone removed their coolant reservoir? I don't like the way it looks. Does it really help to have it there?

 

does the clutch really help dat much? also was it worth the money im in the process of buying a banshee and im trying to find ways to make it as fast as possible w/o nos and i still want plenty of reliability and i heard porting will take away frm reliability what would u say?

 

The more power you get out of an engine, it may wear out faster. But the good thing about 2-strokes is that they are really easy to rebuild if you wear out too much. Just get it bored out a little and put in a new piston.

But I don't think porting will really affect reliability at all. It just may wear out faster because of the increase in power and rpm's. And as it wears out you will notice less compression, so then you know it's time to rebuild.

But also, I never had a ported motor before, So I'm really just guessing about that.

On the clutch, I probably didn't need it, but since I was having the motor worked on anyway I went for it.

But if you really have a powerful motor, I heard the stock clutch can slip.

I never had a slipping problem before, but that was when it was stock.
