i recently raced my boss on his 2004 banshee i have a 05 raptor 350 aare drag strip (dirt) is 280 feet and at the other end he was behind me by a bike length so some thing gots to be rong . i do have a pipe and jet kit with beter tires then him but evan in stock form shouldnt he have smoked me? were should we start beside plugs o and he wants to get pipes for it witch would be best for a stocker that rides mostly in the sand? thanks for any help..
o and i do rub it in that i won and retired never to race again (undefeated)

 

switch bikes race his against yours see if its the driver

 

i didnt ride his but i let hi son try while he was on mine and same out come it just didnt sound like it was rev-n he wound it up good and just semed like it was dragin an anker

 

a banshee should be able to smoke even a highly modded yfm 350, his either isnt running right or he isnt driving it right or both lol, good sand pipes for banshee are the CPI pipes, Toomey T-5 and T-6s are nice also but CPI are the most popular pipes for midly modified banshees that like to play in the sand.

 

Yes, There is either something wrong with the banshee or the rider. A stock banshee will wax a modded Raptor 350. Make sure your friend isn't running the oil mixture to rich. If that isn't it take it to a shop to have it looked at. Good luck

 

Noway guys, nothing is wrong. A stock 'shee is nothing. I had a piped 400EX and would smoke my bro's 'shee when stock. The same ex would get a raptor by a bikes length maybe 2. I think it has been too long since you guys rode a stocker. Put a pipe and rejet and that 'shee will smoke the raptor by a long shot though. Stock I'd say your lucky to get 30hp out of a stock 'shee. pipe and filter add 10hp.

 

LMAO are you joking we arent talking a raptor 660 we are talking a raptor 350 ( a warrior) there is definitely something wrong with that shee..

Check his plugs to see if he is running too rich, do a compression test should be around 125psi, for pipes I like the toomey t5s. If he is mostly playing in gritty sand not silt, rip that air box off and go to dual K&Ns with outwears on them and rejet it and he should be good to go.

 

yea lol, banshees are choked up alot stock but its still a 350 twin cylinder 2 stroke...lol there not slow and they will smoke yfm 350s,400exs and raptor 660s stock for stock, hands down, its takes some good modding on any of those to beat a banshee in a drag.

 

91 Warrior is right. Stock to stock with good traction conditions a banshee can come very close to beating the new 450's. Raptor 660's have no chance, and warriors, seriously man they don't have a chance even with the big 3. I ride a banshee but have ridden every machine mentioned but the raptor 660. I've raced a raptor 660 and it was a slug.

 

come on guy.. a shee as stock is unbeliveable in the power it makes. beats most stock bikes
my bro has stock shee and it is fast... i no the rapter 350 wouldent beat it...
maybe the guy with the shee had a plugg missing lol...
