Pete's Banshee thread

[Pete]

I feel a bit like Erik here...but I made a rather large order from Rocky Mountain tonight to the tune of $450 in Banshee stuff

clamp on K&N's and outerwares
G Force extended axle
Pro Design impeller
Tusk front bumper
top end gasket kit
water pump gasket
stator and clutch cover bolts to replace gay phillips head screws
parking brake block off

they were out of T5's, and I still don't know what I want to go with for pipes anyways    Suggestions?  Toomey T5's, Pro Circuits, or CPIs?

I'm going to order a few other things too (mainly a timing advance plate) before too much longer.

I'm also probably going to put my stock '07 YFZ a arms on the Banshee, I guess they work fine with some +2 tie rods, and should look cool with the blue.  I'm going to keep an eye out for a set of YFZ450 brake calipers, master cylinder etc as well, direct bolt on.  Pretty neat.

T-5's are the way to go on a banshee unless you are going to drag race it alot.
Then i would get some cpi's or shears, but that's just me.

On the timing plate dont get one of them cheap cast one's when you go to tigthen the bolt's up they wont be perfectly centered, i bought a billet one off ebay for $48 and look's sweet.
Plus it's billet alum. and is alot stronger than the cast one.


On the yfz a arm's you wil have to trim the lower arm's to get them to fit on the frame, which i am prett sure you know since that is your plan.
But if not i can get you a link that will help guide you threw that process.

Other than the item's listed above it sounds like you are on to a great start.

Good luck on the build....

go through BC for the matoon machine timing plate, very nice piece. WAY better then crappy ricky stator ones.  SPEAKING OF WHICH, ill give you the deal of the century on a Ricky Stator 200w stator and plate and flywheel! I have two of each 

[Ben]

i have a whole bunch of Mikuni jets for you too. I wont ever use them

[Ben]

your going to need a clutch cover gasket too to put in the water impeller

[BC]

and a WP cover gasket...

cool, I may as well stick to the stock carbs for awhile.   I got the waterpump gasket, forgot the clutch cover gasket though.  I'll call RM this morning and see if they can get it into my order before shipping it.

never hurts to look through it again if you have the URL handy.

I'll take BC up on that probably.  As far as the other stuff, maybe you should put that stuff on Heather's KFX when you trade it in. 

[Pete]

called Rocky Mountain, no problem on adding the gasket.  1 of the outerwares is back ordered though so I won't get the filters and stuff for a couple weeks.  Not the end of the world there.

[Pete]

don't judge me.

[Heather]

Youve been judged

[Pete]

Youve been judged

so have you.  You still own the KFX

Its rusting away in the salt shed as we speak.

I've heard the 400EX throttle is a bit easier than the Banshee one, and since I need one anyways, I picked up a 400EX thumb throttle on ebay for $19.99

[Ben]

the cable hooks up the same? the throttle pull isnt bad stock
