I don't know how reliable they are but I was wondering if I could make my 4 stroke act like a 2 stroke? Maybe I should start a post(or 4 of them) and see if anyone knows how I could do it........

 

Did you not read what i wrote? Stroking a motor does not hurt the reliability of a banshee. Getting upwards of 8mm+ can be a factor but for everybody on this forum the largest you would ever go is 4 to 7mm. I have a few 4mm's that ive done for locals running around with 30+hours of drag racing ONLY on them and none have needed a tear down. Trust me, the less side load on a piston the longer the piston and bore lasts. Boring doesnt do anything to motor reliability. When i can take a stock 34hp banshee and build it to 90hp all on stock cylinders with a little 4mm crank in it and have it last 30 hours in the dunes for drag racing it IS reliable.
