My New Motor

sumbich, I have an entirely different bike. made a trip to winchester bay today to break in the new motor and damn, i'm impressed. i'm extremely grateful for talking myself into the new 4 over swingarm, because if i hadn't, it would be almost unridable. now, if my arm and wrist will just heal, i'll get to enjoy it a little more.
long live the yamaha banshee

yeah i know what you mean by that ,im a speed whacker in recovery too. seriously though hows the motor pull on top rpms? what kinda hp and torque # did they say youd get and the static compression and dome cc you run now?

21cc domes, not sure on the static compression, and this motor develops a ton of HP in the high RPM's. Cameron said it should be around 74-78HP, but I'll get a definitive next week when I dyno it. I know people have told me no way, it will be around 65-70HP, but I really have no reason to doubt him at this point. I guess we'll just have to see...
FWIW, I'm a huge T5 fan, ran them before the motor work and run them on my 97, but CPI's sound pretty damn bad too. I'm still sportin a semi thinking about today..

sound like fun, but id rather ride your avatar lol
it s pretty common to get those numbers out of a 4 mill ,if it doesnt hit the numbers dont feel bad... dynos vary alot you might get 80 on one and 65 on another ,theyre made for tweaking in motor mods and jetting not judging them by peak numbers
im sure its very quick and compettive either way.

i hear ya on the dyno numbers, but it sure is nice to at least have a reference on where you've come from and where you want to go. the real stupid thing is the whole time i was riding today, i'm trying to justify my next performance purchase. in actuality, the bike as-is is more than i could've ever fathomed a year ago and the more motor work i do to it, the more i paint my bike into a specific niche. it's really damn tuff to know when enough is enough.

Sweet I just love wheelie machines! People say 2 strokes dont have good acceleration and stuff but they do! You just gave to find it somewhere in the powerband! LOL Sounds good though. Makes you feel good when u put money into a bike and you notice a huge difference.
