Ripping My Banshee swapped Grom! Is it too fast?

I fix my banshee swapped grom after blowing up my transmission. I try a top speed run and attempt some wheelies. Will it reach 100mph?

Keep the engine... it’s good as a street bike. If it were a race motor, it would ruin the fun...

Love it man! Pretty much the ultimate daily driver. Theres something about a 2 stroke being street legal that a modern sport bike can't compete with. Plus is a banshee engine!!!!

I agree.. It's just right how it is.

That thing is a ripper! BTW I think it would be cool if you could find a radiator that fits inside the headlamp cowling.

[@stephenmiller5023]

As an original 1977 Yamaha RD -400 2 stroke Twin owner myself ( I bought it new off Don Vesco Yamaha’s Showroom floor Here in my hometown of El Cajon Ca. In 1978 , my Graduation present to myself) and having now owned it for almost 45 years I can attest to the adrenaline rush every time it “ Comes on the pipe “ and tries to wheelie out from under you. Your little beast is probably around 50 pounds or more lighter than my old air cooled bike ( I believe mine weighs in around 340 lbs or so ) and looks to be easily able to top out around 115-120 mph or so like mine does once topped out in 6th gear. Wheeeeeee!!! You are a Madman like me & at my age now (62-1/2😉) I’ve got no reason to slow down now . Enjoyed watching this build and glad you got it all repaired and back together again . Keep it “ Rubber side down “ . One more thing; “ Mexico “ sure looks a lot greener than I remember.😏😆👍😎. C-ya man . Stay cool now , ya hear ?? 👌

[@VasilyBuilds]

Haha thanks

[@xdrmurdochx]

The banshee is my favorite quad of all time. The fact that you put that engine into a little grom is just INSANE. Insta sub from me. Keep up God's work!

Man this takes me back, 90s Simpson bandit paddock jacket, no plates, on the tank Had 250, 350 and ypvs In a grom...love it man

[@Dirt-Broke-Garage]

looks like a blast to ride. I would go up a few (maybe 3) teeth on the rear sprocket to wake it up a little under the power band and get some use out of 6th gear. As you said a steering stabilizer is a must.

[@troytruong9909]

I'm speechless right now because your doing what I think of and can't possibly done all this by myself. I love the idea of 2 stroke engines in a grom. Most badass grom I have ever seen. That is a trophy to keep and love. You have no idea how much I want that grom. If you ever have to many projects and want to sell it. Please let me get first dibs. Incredible super awesome job. I've been riding for awhile and would love to have a street legal 2 stroke.

[@SNELLERIZED]

Sounds great! I don't think you'll have enough HP to pull 6th. It's not quite fully revving out 5th all the way. Sounds great though.

[@christophertibbetts2458]

6th gear is for cruising to conserve fuel.

[@mozer30]

Agreed, no doubt it would of been ok if he kept the primary and clutch gear ratios as standard. But then it would be more aggressive in the lower gears. I suppose it’s pretty easy to drop a tooth on the front sprocket if he decides to go for top speed.

[@sjv6598]

That bike should be able to rev all the way through every gear. It needs tuning.

[@calholli]

It will still do it with enough road.. Like on an Interstate highway. But I agree, he has it geared up quite a bit, which is good, because it would be popping wheelies much worse with stock gearing.

[@brianvasko5048]

@@mozer30 Raise a tooth on the counter shaft for more top end. Or decrease the rear sprocket.

[@7thstreetcustomz993]

Wobbles no different than my 83 rz350 that is highly modified and that sound of a twin yammy is just like music. Well done :)

One of your best builds Vasily! I want one really bad now damn it! This is exactly the kind of sleeper thing I love. Oh it's just a Grom then it rips past like your standing still.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

I'm usually one who doesn't like different manufacturers engines inside other manufacturers vehicles.....but when it's a Banshee's 350 twin 2-stroke in a Grom.... I absolutely approve 🤣👌 Edit: steering stabilizer and start it and allow it to come up to a respectable temperature first instead of worrying about trying to get it up to temp while moving, it'll definitely help.... might also look into a smaller radiator as well as a different oil viscosity.

[@OneTwoFive0]

When you get something that’s not meant to go fast to go fast, it’s so satisfying and kinda funny

[@tsuudon5017]

I cracked up seeing the radiator mounted on the front like that, what a BEAST! build's come along so well, inspiring stuff

[@mmaaddict78]

You may want to chop the frame behind the head tube and add more rake to the front end to get it more stable at speed. Maybe just a degree or two. Should make it much less twitchy. Don't want to go too much or you'd lose some cornerability.

[@pzach530]

What a perfect swap, the power to weight on that grom is insane. I love your channel and all your builds my man, keep it up!!!!

[@wagdbikerider]

Usually the beveled gears transfer power better because more then one tooth is in contact at a time, but the trade off is it will increase loading in the axial direction and need a thrust bearing

[@str8huckin876]

They're quieter but the teeth aren't as strong.

[@wagdbikerider]

@@str8huckin876 Strength of teeth is a factor of the design and properly set backlash. Usually guys dont set the backlash right and then get the experience of a weaker gear design. The reality is it is much stronger than straight cut gears and also more expensive

[@edwardweisenburg16]

It's the coolest grom iv ever seen. Awesome 👍😎

[@RichM1983]

Pretty nuts how fast that thing is. Be safe and have fun!

[@LordHolley]

Dude, congrats! Yeah I would do that stabilizer and that's it. That bike is already faster than it should be. Looks like an incredible thing you've built. Definitely my favorite build of yours. Please be careful, no repeat crashes like a few years ago!

[@jamescastelonia5179]

I'm an older writer I love everything you do I always watch it just kills me when I see somebody engine braking like backing off the throttle without pulling in the clutch and letting it wind down as a mechanic it's not really healthy for a two-stroke I mean if you're racing you do what you got to do because engine breaking can be important but it hurts the machine anyway just thought I'd say that I'm not being a dumb dumb if you know what I mean but love your videos absolutely

[@mrf4549]

A steering dampener is a must lol, but I would be worried about the tires if they are stock. I can't imagine they are good at those speeds. Great build and can't wait to see more of it!

[@siraff4461]

I'm so pleased for you dude. That thing is a little gem. Yes it needs a few kinks ironed but look how far its come in such a short time. Brilliant bike. If that radiator is still working it means you can also go a lot smaller so you might be able to get one to fit inbetween two strip lights - like the 2019 grom lights but spaced apart with the rad inbetween them. Stingers like an RGV250 and its going to look the nuts. I wouldn't go mad on tuning. Its fast already and ask any 2T owner - reliability is already borderline on a stock motor.

[@jessejohnson2089]

Absolutely wonderful build Vasily and the pipes will look great with a couple nice stingers! Glad to see her in her glory!

[@shaunpc2512]

Holy crap is that thing quick. Please be careful as we don’t need you getting any other injuries 🙏🏻

[@MrGamman3yt]

The bearing will not be capable of those speeds. Front and rear wheel bearings. Please check often. This thing, while beautiful, is basically a hand built bike. All things dealing with power and speed need updating, like an chev truck people put 400hp through, new Trans, new rear end, etc.

[@Garage_gg]

The carbs don't sound tuned well in the low and mid range but i could be wrong...kickass job on the build!

[@BeamerTheFox]

its because of its lack of silencers, its changed its tune on the carbs :/

[@theadventuresoftroy8109]

This is officially the coolest grom on the planet! Might be time to invest in tire and brake upgrades 😂😂😂

This is currently the wildest build I've seen this year. I would love to ride something like this, I cannot imagine what a banshee motor must feel like on a grom frame 😅

[@pauldean8638]

Change the rake In head sock by a few degrees will lessen the wobble a bit . You know when you got the pipes right as the front wheel won’t stay on the ground . Pee around with the pipes and when you got it right it’ll be a whole new monster . Read up on tuning from Stan stevens ,one of the worlds best tuners of them motors . He builds 130bhp 525cc engines from a banshee motor . Just don’t fit that motor or you’ll need wheelie bars at 130mph

[@noelg3384]

[@richardwilliams9181]

The only thing you do by changing the dimensions of the exhaust is change where the powerband kicks in. Because the big belly on the exhaust is the resonance chamber. It uses the back pressure of the exhaust to scavenge out the burnt air fuel mixture. And it does it in pulses based on whether the valve is open or not. The powerband on a 2-stroke engine is the point where the exhaust flow has reached an optimal flow for revving faster. If you didn't know it already, it's worth a watch on how a 2-stroke engine functions to understand how changing the exhaust changes performance

[@chancecox141]

This just popped up on recommendation and I've got to say the ideas you've given me in one video...thank you! Also Subscribed cant wait to see what else you bring to life.

[@Rashad_Sanchez_Mendez]

Dude i hardly comment on videos but this my man is a beast!!! A 2 stroke grom is a fantasy of mines to have, keep up the good work and stay safe!!

[@_UncleBo_]

She looks way more comfortable and better with the pro taper bars and The headers turned out dope!! I think it would look sick with some braided/colored radiator hoses and you should most definitely keep the banshee motor!! Add a stabilizer and figure out a way to make A one piece silencer using a set oh shorty's, even if it's only two avoid friction from the police!! All in all she turned out sick and has plenty potential as far as power, control/ St ability and aesthetics goes! That's the sickest grom I've seen, keep up the good work kid and keep bringing us gnarly content. SN: a smaller radiator would help with getting it up to temperature. I know that all sounds good but in all actuality expenses are a factor lol comes with the territory.. All that being said, execute that check list with some original ideas of your own and you'll be dominating the grom scene in every aspect of the game.

[@sethgarrett1994]

I felt your adrenaline rush when you hit 99 and bars started getting shaky a steering stabilizer and gusseting or reinforcement would help fight against speed wobbles a steering stabilizer #1 would improve everything. Gusseting/reinforcement will help keep frame flex to a minimum which is what causes speed wobbles I can't see the added weight hurting much either would probably plant the bike better also. She's nasty man great job and the pipes seem to still have a pretty mean powerband routed and fitted clean too I understand how hard it is to fit them where you're comfortable without changing the characteristics and dimensions of the pipes 2 stroke motorized bicycles have the same challenges in that aspect alot of respect for your work brother you're killing it
