Want a banshee but need some info.First yfz front end what all does this entail is it worth it seen it done a couple times?I only plan on piping and filtering it.What's best pipes:fmfs,toomeys,lrd,dg,vito,paul turner?What's best mix ratio?What to look for when buying used?Do they have a nuetral light?How is the acceleration?Please no one try to sway me in a different direction.Thanks,Scrambler

 

As for pipes its all depends on your riding style, different pipes give different plus's, had 2 banshees, had fmf gnarlys witch were good for bottom and mid power, t-5's witch were good top end power and a set of Paul Turners witch I really didn't like, gave great great great low end but I swear it took away from the top end, CPI's are a good inframe drag pipe always wanted a set but never had the motor work to support it = [ and as for the filter I had on the carb style and in box with the lid removed I prefer the the in box style w/o the lid, didn't get as dirty and I felt it ran better. Oil wise I ran 32:1 so I just split a quart between 4gals of gas (8gals total) And as for the acceleration, I mean its a twin 350 2 stroke it pulls super hard but I could never get mine to turn 6th gear = [ but then again I ride sand so I bet one could on dirt with a lighter rider.

 

Also do boost bottles really make a difference?

 

I'm surprised theres no one else helping out whatever happened to the banshee guys?!?

 

Boost bottles are supposed to help with low end/throttle response, I didn't think it really did much, it replaces the balance pipe for a lil bottle guess there okay for the like 50 bucks that they cost I believe fmf includes them in their pipe/silencer combo kits if yuo wanted to go the route. Haha I think all the banshee guys are now 450+ guys.

 

They got tired of rebuilding their rides!

 

About the electricals I'm assuming since it's kick start it's pretty sparce.Does it have a nuetral light?If it doesn't then how do you know if it's in nuetral?Also how are the ergoes?I'm also really surprised there aren't alot of banshee guys visiting the sight I geuss these quads are becoming stuff of the past...

 

I ride a banshee that I have had since it was new in 96 I recomend tommey t5 pipes, a k&n filter kit and yes a boost bottle does make a difference but when you change your pipe you will have to re jet the carbs so while they are off i would recomend putting after market read valves in also they are only about 25 bucks and they help. and for all those 2 stroke hatters or should i say 450 riders "want to race"

 

Anybody know anything about the yfz front end and my questions about the electrical?

 

Well you know the Govt is tellin manufacturers to end all 2 stroke applications due to emissions between 2 and 4 strokes... And since Yamaha is not makin Banshee's anytime soon, and I dont really see many Banshee's too tough (Raptors are takin over [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]). 2 strokes from what I hear have to get more rebuilds than 4 strokes but doesnt apply to 450's as they get reuilds 2-3 times a year on average.. Never been a 2 stroke owner but know a lot of people who ride both 2 and 4 stroke... YFZ front ends didnt come about til the YFZ came out in 04.. So prior models before I dunno... Cant help you on the electrical as I'm not that keen of knowledge.. I dont even work on my own Raptor...
