New Banshee Owner - Needs Advice

[370banshee]

hey scott your the pro. what have you had better luck with FMF or toomey. i've never actually ridden a bashee with FMF. i've only ridden them with toomeys and pro slows i mean pro circuits. anyway i say get pipes get some good porting and get a single carb setup it make the banshee ridable in the low end. stock carb setups suck lowend.

I have used all of the above pipes and they all work well for the intended purpose. Not a fan of the PC though. For the majority of people I would suggest the FMF because they make really good torgue and they work well on stock or modded banshees. Also price and availibility is really good on these as well as the fit and finish. Not trying to through a wrench in things, but the new Alien pipe is also strong on the banshee.

ok while we are on the topic of pipes i have to ask you a question. the dmc dual setups for banshees. not the alien but the pipe where the silencers is a dual outlet silencer under the grab bar. these are by far the coolest looking pipe for a banshee. anyway my question is have you ever used these pipes and are they spark arrested or is there a spark arrestor available for them. i want a set to go on my 96 with a 370 engine thats ported also has a slightly milled head and a trinty stage 4 intake with 34mm kiehn. would i be better off sticking with the t5's i have now or should i buy the dmc's and toss the tommeys on the old 87.

So what are the benefits of porting and polishing a banshee? And bout how much is it gonna run me?

Also....you say to get aftermarket shocks and A-Arms....but what are good brands to get?

[Banshee]

Porting = Making your intake port & Exhaust port(??) on you motor bigger by boring it out. The more you bore out the more aggressive your motor will be.


Polishing = What is sounds like they will polish up your intake so that there are no little places to cause air drag. You have to think about the fact that there is a lot of air and fuel going into your motor when you hit the gas. by polishing the intake on the motor you are allowing the air to flow with out any restrictsions.

As for cost on this I couldn't tell you. Mybe scott can anwser this.

Banshee,

The DMC is the pipe I was talking about, Alien is what DMC uses for the 4 stroke pipes. They sound sweet and make really good power. I am a dealer and can get you a really good deal if you want a set.

Porting and polishing is really complicated to explain so I will give you a brief overview. By changing the port layout on a 2 stroke, you can dreastically change the powerband of the engine. When I port a cylinder, I use very high tech computer software to help develop my port layout. basically, by raising the exhaust port, you can raise the RPM that the motor makes its power at. The transfer port heights and widths are also very critical. To have a killer motor, it is critical to have the porting, pipes, carbs, head, and intake all tuned for the same target RPM range and the same torque range. If the porting is not done correctly, the motor will make less power and be unridable. This is pretty crude but I would have to type for days to tell yo everything I know about porting.

scott can you get the dmc pipe for the banshee that has the 1 silencer. i like these but i'm not exactly sure if it's gonna be a ba decision to switch from my t5's.

Okay...

So SORERACING is Scott?

Is he the one to ask about how much it should run me to get my banshee ported and polished?

[Banshee]

Yup Scott=Soreracing

He knows his stuff and has been building quads for GNCC riders for years.

I will look up the price on the pipe and get back with you.
