Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

No this isn't my turbo Banshee motor. Its actually my buddy's motor that he was building. I was originally building the turbo kit for his spare banshee but he sold it to me to pay for this one.

Here's what it originally looked like:

And to put the power down its got a lockout clutch with a smoked cover. Can't slip a clutch that doesn't use plates 8)

Word O0

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

my cars got a two stroke in it.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

Your car is also gay, slow, and a gas eater. What's your point?

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

A rotary is a 4-stroke ::)

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

its considered a four stroke, but its more than likely resembles a two stroke.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

nice banshee. i just got my new a arms today so im gonna put em on this weekend, hopefully the rest of the parts will come tomorrow.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)

Your mates insane. Dude.

Two Strokes Will be back.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

that thing looks sweet. if you've worked on it whitey, i'm dissapointed. i see no whitey bends :(

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

Sweetness....I love banshees. Tell him to get a nice extended swing arm for that beast. atleast 6 inches.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

lets see, he owns you with 49/51 weight distribution, he can rev too 9000 and not blow up, he can out handle most cars on this site with stock suspension ;), its a 2 door, its a 5spd and those rear ends are tough

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

? . the lockout mounts on the outside of the pressure plate, the clutch plates don't go anywhere.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

Hey whitey im in philly I know a guy with a banshee with a snow mobile motor, if you ever want to race let me know.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

nice is the wirng hard to do on that

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

We build Drag RD350s that are just the air cooled version of the shee.
And we use lock up clutches. In fact I think we where the first to start the craze with the see thru covers back in 98.
The lock was developed and Piorned by MRE later copied by one and all.
The lockup does use clutch plates. It just locks em so they cant slip.

He would need a 6ft long swinger on that babby. And once it gets going it only going to want to go straight ;D

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

nice whitey...

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

Go suck Kain's dong, I want to see him rev to 9k, and those rearends aren't that great ::) Turbo II model yes, but not those ones.. and you drove a Metro. ::)

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

first off, you can go head butt the side walk. secondly, read your sig, and thirdly, end yourself.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

lol, you must own an RX-7 or are kain's bitch or something. Kain knows I was screwing around with him, you apparently do not. I feel bad that Canada has you as a citizen ::)

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

The swingarm is staying stock for now along with the rear shock. The most it would get extended it probably +2 since we still do some trail riding




The lockup is nice becuase you don't need to run the heavy duty springs and when we ride on the pavement the clutch wouldn't be able to hold the power. In my old shee I had massive clutch springs in it that would kill your ------- hand. Lockouts are definitely the way to go




Tell him to come get some. ;) Wait till my banshee's done cause I'd like to run him too



Stop hijacking my thread, if you guys want to argue about Kain PM each other, if you do it in this thread I'm just deleting your posts

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

I was gonna say something but forgot.. sorry Whitey, didn't exactly mean to thread jack, Travis was just being ---- about it ::)

I forgot to ask, what is he going to be using it for?

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

i just bought a new kx250 yesterday, 2 stroke for life.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

What cars is he runing those are PWKs with V-FOrce reeds but look kinda smallish.
Is he going to run a PV on that. Do all cheata cylinders come with a PV setup.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

lol, yeah those carbs are way too small ::) They're 35mm Keihins, not sure what jets yet until its strapped to the dyno. And yeah it has powervalves. You can see them hanging off the tops of the heads. look at the before and after of the heads you'll see them

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

If it was my motor Id have gone with 38mm lectrons.
THe RD400 Drag Boys run 40mm lectrons on their stroker 424 motors.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

is that clutch less manual i have a lt230 quadrunner i hve to let off the gas to shift and would one of those moter fit mine

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

Real question is do you have the 10,000$ to spare to put together something like that.

Shifting is a bitch on the yamaha twins. Including the shees

WHat is he going to do to address the shifting issue.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

i have a lt230 quadrunner whould that motor work on mine

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
 

Hahah, I think you're almost ready to start interacting with people outside your house.

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)

Re: Evolution of a Yamaha Banshee motor (56K go find Dr. Boost)
