What's inside this 2 Stroke engine after 40 Hours of use? Voodoo Banshee Part 2

[@MichaelSabo]

Alright guys, today we modify up some nerf bars for our trail banshee, tear into the engine to see what's inside and go over some of the new parts that came in and weigh them against the take offs... this could be a blood bath for wait savings...

“Some may even cry” 😂🤣

[@fred-san]

If you dont know, & as you like to polish, you can improve clutch, softness progressiveness (and avoid the machine which stalls in 1st, at idle). There are glue residues between the pads of the discs, glue which is therefore used to stick them on the disc, if you remove them, the oil circulates much better between, and avoid jerks'... I was inspired by an Englishman, on trial forum if I remember, it was +10 years ago, I don't remember the method correctly (which worked for my trial beta 250, it no longer stalled in 1st gear at idle, otherwise I needed dextron III....). , basically : With a 'dremel', and polishing discs (white), go there very cool, do not take off disc pad clutch.

Never would’ve thought watching an hour long KZbin video would be something I’d enjoy but after watching a couple of yours just goes to show how amazing your videos are you’ve given me the drive and motivation to work on my own machine and the urge to wanna try custom stuff on it

[@HaloHamstur]

I watched one of his other videos and I didn't even realize it was an hour long till I looked at the time at the end.

[@philliphols]

I second this. I am in the process of purchasing a pile of banshee parts (nearly complete and already powder coated and fresh) and these videos have me motivated. I’m going to assemble the roller and then tear down the engine. Can’t wait to see inside

The fact that it ran rich definitely helped. Theres a guy i know who is local to me. He runs his banshees on the rich side and they are pretty much indestructable. He would do burnouts after burnouts. One time the thing got so hot that both expansion chamber were glowing bright orange/yellow. It still ran good and he didn't have any issues after that.

[@Levi-vf1fh]

Running then rich is good but it being red hot is how you wreck a moter rich or not

[@ryy597]

If anyone is interested, here is one video. The quality isn't amazing but you can definitely see the color on the expension chamber. Radiator pipe blew at the end and it still ran absolutely fine depsite the blown hose. which is crazy to me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2rCm2Cgat5nj5I Another video: kzbin.info9KCy4pHF7e4?feature=share

[@thomasmurphy5906]

Banshees are front heavy, so maybe the extra weight of the rear tires may help balance the machine, Kenda's with bead lock looks like an awesome setup

@33:00 you need an impact screw driver. I got mine from harbor freight for $10 I think. TOTAL life saver. It rotates as you tap the end of the tool with a hammer. I originally bought it for rotor screws and ended up using it every time I get that uncomfortable feeling we all get when we see a Phillips head

This has motivated me to completely strip and restore my 06 se. Love the videos, any tips on straightening the front of the frame? Only where the bumper mounts, 1 of the bolts doesn't line up. Keep doing what you're doing brother

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the love man; I'm glad I could motivate you! As far as straightening the frame; there are places that specialize in that if it's a difficult bend, but a lot of times you can get creative. I've straightened frames by using cable come-alongs and I-beams before; if there's a will, there's a way.

Hopefully it helps your algorithm out, but I went through and made sure I was “liked” on every single video you have... and I realized I had likes all the way back to when you removed spray paint on plastic and had a KX85... before your “500 subscriber” video that you put out. I guess I didn’t even realize it but I’ve been on your channel since damn near the beginning.. that’s CRAZY to see how far your videos have come. I’m completely baffled right now after going that far back in your videos. Awesome job man, for real, I really mean that!!

for the stripped screws, look for an impact driver. its like a screw driver that when hit with a hemmer it pushes inward to bite the screw and is internally rifled to twist the screws. everything with a screw on my bikes i give a tap to remove easily, and a tap to snug them back tight.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the tip!

[@bdog4u2]

I had to use one the other day. Me and my 9 year old are rebuilding a 2004 yz85 that has been in a barn for 15 years with the cylinder off and all the screws behind the magneto were already stripped and the impact driver broke them all loose with a crack from a mallet. I wish I could post pics on what that motor looked like but my son cleaned up every gear and replaced the bearings, installed a new crank and polished the whole crankcase. You would never know it had sat years before he was even born.

I worked at rath racing in high school. He once got a titanium chassis bolt kit for a Honda 450. I installed every bolt marked the excess thread (maybe 1/4 Inch on most)and ground them down to the bare minimum length. Just supports your guess that, yes the fastest racers do modify everything.

You could mount the rubber bumpers onto the bottom of the air box n not to the frame.. Great info..great videos..big fan!

[@MichaelSabo]

That's true but then if they aren't placed just right, they won't hit the frame if that makes sense. If they're on the frame, the airbox can be mounted in any position and they will still support the box.

Hey Sabo, you should invest in a hand impact driver. It removes screws very nicely. Smack it with a hammer and it turns on impact. The force of the blow keeps the bit in the screw head and doesn't like to cam out. Cheap yet effective.

The added weight on the tires setup is a killer. Additional rotating mass is far more important than additional static weight. It's the reason why Superlight Skat Traks, for example, make such a difference.
