im supposed 2 race a banshee with a shaved head and sleeve (otherwise stock)on an 1/8th mile drag track.
the guy weighs about 20lb more than me and i have a lil better launching skill. my mods are in my sig.
who SHOULD win??

besides strapping the suspention down anyone have any other tricks??

The better rider.

Duane, you are right, but if rider skills are equal, the banshee will hand you your......... well the banshee will win....

never seen the guy race thats the problem........
4rm what ive herd(people that have seen both of us ride) say i drive a lil better than him
that banshee is pritty riged. i saw the porting and it looked like a 10 year old with a grinder did it.....
still think ill loose?

Care to watch your mouth more? I don't think your comment is appropriate.

i think banshee's aren't so quick anymore...

Think again, with the right combo, they can be made way too fast for a 4-stroke.

not my experience on the dunes, but its all cool.

dude a banshee done right runs hard....
but idk if this queers 89 banshee with crapy head work can keep up.
i think 1/8th mile i have a chance.
by the time he throws 6th(which is where he should take me) we are 2 far down the track for it to make a difference

He's not hitting 6th in a 1/8 mile race.....

and u guys still think ill loose???? i normally win against shee's untill they throw 6th.
all the dude has is pipes, crapy head work(thats y he blew it up) and a shaved cylender(stock bore)
i think i have a chance. dont u ???

I think you should video the race and post it up after the fact. Do you have a chance? Sure. I'm not saying it will be a blow out, especially in a 1/8 mile race. Skill will play a huge factor. Video it, or all the races and post them up.

i got u dude i will try 2 find some1 with a good camera if not ill at least hit u boys up with the time slips.

ohh another thing the guy is running 19' MX tires. im going 20' almost bald stocks i should hook up better... i think.?.?

Best of luck man......you may need it........

Only way to find out for sure is to go bar 2 bar with him.

Half ass built YFZ350's are scary fast in a staright line, there's no doubt about that. If he kicks your a** at the drag, tell him you want to make a couple hot laps on the local mx track for redemption. Assuming you are an equally skilled rider, it shouldn't even be close when you bring suspension in play.

Sounds like you want to know for sure that you're going to win before you race. What's the thrill in winning a race you know you will beforehand? You've got a chance, so race! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

dude i dont want 2 know the outcome. i just dont want 2 get set up for total distruction!
if the race should be close which (kinda sounds like it should be) im happy!
i will post an PM u guys the results (hopefully a vid. as well)
thanks 4 the input boys!

if anybody else has there 2cents id love 2 hear it

Since you have a parking brake block off and renthal bars, you should be able to take him!

yeah and if he starts pulling you then just get off and push. That should help you catch back up...

LMFAOOOOOOOOO thats halarious r1yfz that gota be the dumbest thing ive herd in a while!!!
LMAOOOO oregen's finest NICE COME BACK LMAOOOO

I personally hate these kinds of posts. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Too many factors, too many unknowns to ever be able to come close to predicting any kind of outcome. I wish you the best and hope you win. It is a no lose situation, I love Yamaha's, and one way or another, a Yamaha is going to come out on top, period.

My future suggestion? Line em up, wind it out, drop the clutch, and see who come out on top, all while someone films it. Then, you can post the results and make necessary changes if the results were not what you wanted.

The real issue here is honesty. People lie about what they have in their quads. I, personally, do not ever lie, I will tell you exactly what is in mine. I have been beaten badly by 'stock 250r's' and have beaten modded Banshees, so when it all is said and done, it really doesn't matter......You win some, you lose some...

^^^He's a true tuning fork boy!!!!,

I hate these post as well because its more fun to win out of pure surprize than to have 30 of us say "hell yea you'll smoke him, or no chance at all man,"

Go out there and plant your ass on the back of the seat and pinned the sob until you cross the line!

Shaving a the Banshee head for increased compression won't be too effective on stock pipes, you running stock pipe too? Now slap some T5 or PC pipes on the Shee, ditch the airbox, replace the air filter & go up on jetting with a tooth dropped on the front sprocket and that Banshee might be pulling away everytime it hits the powerband!

he has some T5's or T3's i think and a k&n fliter with the lid off if im not mistaken. the only good knows is i think he is still on stock reeds.

LMAO

Watch your mouth!
