A little something different...
 

we finally got done my buddy's Banshee and took it down to Philly for some shakedown runs:

This thing runs like a raped date. It just hooks and goes. Pulls way harder than my GSXR 750. Its a 16mm stroked banshee 610cc Cheetah motor, billet cases, drag ported, 45mm carbs, lockout clutch, override trans, extended 10 inches, narrowed front. We're all going to Cecil this Saturday to try and get it dialed in.

Hoping for mid 10's but it only has a 4 speed in it for now so we'll see.

So anyone want to come to Cecil this Saturday? http://www.cecilcountydragway.com/


We went down to the city with Dave from ECATV. Here's the bike he brought:

Its a Banshee motor in a YFZ. And since this is HMT here's his LTR450:

those are ------ badass. thats gotta be fun to drive.

Re: A little something different...
 

How safe are those of course under a driver with half a brain.

Re: A little something different...
 

That thing looks like a blast to drive.
I was at lebanon valley dragway on saturday and they were running bikes. There was a busa with a t25 that went 8.3@185 and the track was slick/cold.

Re: A little something different...
 

Wow. That's insane. :o I'm trying to pick up a Banshee right now. I want to trade my bike for it....

Just curious, why have both pipes exit the same side? ???

Re: A little something different...
 

When they are narrowed with the drag axle and shorter a-arms, they go straight as an arrow and very stable. Before when it was lowered with extended a-arms, it was all over the place becuase of the caster angles and stuff. But now that its setup to go fast its fine. The only thing is we're not running a back brace on the seat like this:

So it really does try and throw you off the bike. The only other thing is they are running full drag override trans. So you just hold it wide open and shift. It really shifts like butter but if you let off of it when its under power you'll blow the trans. So you really do need to know how to ride it if you want it to stay together.

Just for looks. Its all preference on what you like better, single side or one of each.

Did you ever make the fuel injected bike work?

Re: A little something different...
 

Nice bike. They have been racing forever back there on B street. Just watch out there been alot of killing and and stick up forbike back there. Alot of fast bikes back there. My boy fat boy has a couple fast banshees and a snowmobile banshee.

Re: A little something different...
 

thats bad ass, i know ya just testin it out... but what did it run...the ones at ceicl ar trypicaly runing around 13s

I might head up to ceicl just to check this out... Having a party fri night, so if im not to drunk ill probly be there.....

Re: A little something different...
 

this makes no sense.

Re: A little something different...
 

I love banshees and turbo busa engines.

Re: A little something different...
 

Rexsk8r(he's a member here, doesn't post much)and his dad set up a Kawasaki Mojave with a ZX-7 engine....---- was badass.

Re: A little something different...
 

Yeah it worked. I just never finished the turbo.


They aren't for the weak.



You need to know how an override trans works. You don't really blow the trans you just bend shift forks really easily.



It did run a 12.8 with a 420 motor but it never ran right. We always thought it was jetting or timing from the altitude change going down to Cecil. Here it ended up being a powervalve that would get stuck. That black one pictured has the same motor and runs 10.2's at 125mph.

Re: A little something different...
 

I wouldnt have the balls to ride one of those over 100mph.

Re: A little something different...
 

I've never been on a quad that fast, but the ones I have ridden are pretty hairy at hi speeds. The steering is very touchy up there, especially on the street. :S

I think it's funny when people talk about how fast their basically STOCK quads are and talk about them doing 100+mph, but they really don't have a clue how fast 100mph is on a quad. Realistically they might be doing ~70mph when they think they're doing 100+. My uncle bought a Raptor and he was trying to tell me he had it doing 120 and it wasn't topped out. ::) Totally 100% stock and he thinks it can do 120+ IN THE SAND. :3

Re: A little something different...
 

You gotta remember these aren't stock quads with 9 inches of travel. :-\ I mean the swingarm is lengthened 10 inches, the front is stretched 3 inches and everything is narrowed. I mean look at the difference between from the back between a stock and drag banshee:

And the fenders on the blue banshee are shaved in half to give you an idea of how narrow it now is.

Lengthened and narrowed. Same principals they use to make dragsters go straight down a track.

Re: A little something different...
 

that ---- is badass. i love the oddball stuff.

on a side note, how much do you know about expansion chamber design?

i will PM you my needs if you are interested in helping a fellow 2 stroke nog out

Re: A little something different...
 

We'll be going up to Cecil Friday night instead of Saturday if anyone else is going...

Re: A little something different...
