Default 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:

After a couple bucks its a aggesssive ported 400cc powervalve cheetah motor with 35mm Keihin carbs:








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






The fame also just got powdercoated, new Gibson +2 +1 A-arms and dual rate Works shocks





2-stroke for life

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

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