472 VS 421 Banshee Part 1 | Major Failures

[@MichaelSabo]

For those wondering, John is 6'3 and I am 5'10. Thank you for taking the time to watch our first ever collaboration 👊🤘 Let us know what you think!

[@joshua_J]

Dude my banshee ran night and day different with the lectron carbs and a white Bros boost bottle. I had boysen rad valves with Toomey t5 exhaust. It was a total beast with the carb change

[@briangillespie5419]

What kind of oil are you mixing with your gas and what octane are you using? I'm a big fan of KLOTZ oil mix

[@P7Hook]

I’ve owned my Badshee for over 21yrs . Poked and Stroked , Fully Modified, still own it and rip it ! Had an issue years ago with my stator (only on a upper rev) not on idle - and one time with my water pump impeller (over heated) kinda same issues you guys are having in this video . Crazy

[@MichaelSabo]

That's awesome man! It's cool to hear you've had the same Banshee for so long. They can definitely be temperamental!

It's your coil bud I bet those spark plug caps read 0 ohms on that Chinese coil. Buy a stock OEM coil. And your problem will go away.

[@yamahaguy1732]

250race I have a Chinese coil and it works great but i doubt it will last as long as oem

@@MichaelSabo Cute 16th of a inc. off the wire so you have new copper showing. If it was my bike I would pull that spark plug wire out of that stock coil a ohm both wires. A new 2 stroke wire is at 5 to 5.5 ohms any lower it no good.

[@250race]

@@MichaelSabo I don't know what oil you are running but if I was you I would run the Maxim Castor 927 64oz is about $30 on Amazon bike shops that could be 40 bucks. It will leave no carbon on the top of your piston or on your down. 36/1 to 40/1 and you will be fine. You have a bad ass bike and that what I would run.

[@JasonAlexzander1q47]

First thing I thought was he must be running a nos head. And yes, absolutely, $10,000+ to build a quality 4mill machine. I know. I've got two. Never again unless it's on someone else's ticket lmao! Directdriveline has good 421 cylinder package. Will still need carbs, intake and reeds though. But what you get is something that looks stock but is sleeper all the way. Thanks guys, later on.

[@JasonAlexzander1q47]

@@MichaelSabo Yes sir. And with their stealth head cool dome. Right around $1450 or so, cylinders, stealth head, pistons, rings etc, welded crank. Will need to buy the 35mm keihin carbs (polished around $350 through Cascade), 4vforce reeds ($400)and Vito's intake (Amazon $171)...

[@MichaelSabo]

[@henryjohnson1567]

But I do have a question when I'm in high rpms mainly 4, 5 and 6th gear I have a hard bog till about 1/4 throttle and then it hits like a truck would you have any solutions to this problem

[@scottshort101]

I would get a chain guide by the rear sprocket before you was the chain into the cases. Not only does it suck to damage cases. But when your out and about and trying to get the chain unwaded and back on so you can ride on. Nice rides and good job on the video. We should be exchanging video info soon.

Much respect but what’s the point if you can’t enjoy them without worrying about “popping” them

[@dwainmartinson8534]

hey Michael I am going to pick up my 4mill motor right now it just got done I had a question about the break-in do I use the same gas and fuel mixture as I'm going to after the break in to break it in or should I run a little rich

[@seantheperson923]

always run it rich during break in im pretty sure

[@dwainmartinson8534]

Thanks buddy

[@austinsears1637]

Rich, yes. 15-30% heavy on oil. I highly recommend a few ounces of Lucas fuel stabilizer and or octane booster for upper cylinder lubricant and a titch of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer not just for break in is very noticeable but very important to run 24-7 in my opinion but hey that's just me!!! Good luck with everything!!! Edit: The synthetic oil stabilizer goes with the gear lube, not the fuel into the fuel tank hahahaha!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

I agree with the above, I usually run a little on the rich side for the first tank or so.

[@kennykimbler9816]

Please take them rocket pipes off brother. They don't make any power 3rd gear and up especially in 6th. Get a set of Shearer pipes. There the best. They make more H.P Then any pipe on the market. All this is dyno proven brother. Iv dyno and track tested 6 different pipes and yes iv even tried C.P.I. pipes also. Shearer still made more power and my track time was faster with Shearer. Them Rocket pipes come in last on the dyno and the 1/8 mile track. Then SLP pipes make more H.P. then them Rockets pipes. My best friend bought the rocket pipe company by the way. P.S. This is Kenny at Banshee Boy'z. I can tell you some great combinations jetting, pipes... ext sorry my website is down at the moment but you can call my shop I'm here all day but Friday and weekends I'm on the dyno or at track.

[@azzamali1340]

What does leen and rich means ? Leen means less gas N more oil ? Or what

[@calebsmith9497]

@@azzamali1340 when a 2 stroke is running lean, that means that the gas oil mixture is too low compared to the amount of air coming in, this can be extreamly hard on pistons and cylinders, most of the time that is why they blow up, the opposite of this is a rich running engine, this means that the gas/oil mixture is being put in the motor too much vs the amount of air that is being sucked in
