i would say no also,banshees are fast in a straight line.2 strokes build alot of power on the top end,try to set it up for a short run.only go like 2 or 3 telephone lenghts.my uncle has a quad racer 500 thats ported and polished and piped,i can get him in a short run but up top i cant touch him
I raced one that had pipes,and was polsihed on the insde running 22's on alky. Raced him on my bros 700 which has full system,22's,pro filter setup and EFI tuner. I beat him by 2 lenghts. we raced for about 10 telephone poles and he had a one pole had start.
Don't race him on pavement. Take him to the dirt. They have no grip in the dirt. Race him 300 to 400 feet. You should change your front sprocket for a 15 T. Good lock and let us know how it went :thumbsup:
Ive raced a banshee before, but he had no motor work. . .all he did was spin though, you definitely have a good chance on a short run, but if he hooks it up ya never know. . .
I have won a few drags against banshees in the sand,but they were lightly modded,the heavily modded ones I can't touch and are the fastest machines at the drags.
You will hands down whoop his lilly ass...As long as you request a race using the reverse gear. other than that, racing a Banshee is just not usually a good idea. You can beat a few, sure, but in the end they are still the dominant player on the drag strips.
My brother is a banshee rider and he is bored out to a 375, a 32nd shaved of the head, T5s and K&N intake. You can see what I have. He beats me every time unless we start at the bottom of a steep hill and race to the top then we are about =. If he can get into 3rd or 4th gear while I'm in third he's gone.
From what he told me he was out watching the hill shoots and a YFZ was dominating the hill. Little brother beat him by 2 legnths.
We did an 1/8mile ice drag this winter and my buddy waxed me on this but it's pretty stout, He's a factory mechanic for the KTM supermoto team so he knows his shit.
Really just depends whats done to it. Not to be cocky at all, but I would never back down from a Raptor with a High Compression piston and a cam on my Cub banshee. Pretty much, if he was a cub, its going to get ugly fast!

Ive got under 6k in the whole thing. I got the Bike for 2500 and then about 3500 in mods. I did all the work myself so labor was free. A cub is a cylinder set up on banshees. It is like a 70% increase in power. My cub was like 1100 bucks, but its a 421, there are lots of bigger ones and smaller.
Raced my buddy's Banshee on pavement and walked away from him. He has slightly overbored, higher compression pistions, Hot Crank crankshaft, FMF pipes, cool heads, domes, aftermarket carbs (not sure of the brand), programable ignition, etc. My Raptor has the baffle removed, K&N w/adaptor, PC III. Raced from a 2nd gear roll and had almost 2 bikes on him as I topped out 5th. We did this a couple of times and I was very surprised as I thought he was going to hand my ass to me. You never know!!!

You dont change the pistons in banshees to raise compression, thats what coolhead does. He was just blabbing a bunch of junk talking up a bike that wasnt much.
I think that you would have a very hard time with that, banshee's are lightning fast and also when you go into the motor, you better be doing some internal work on your rappy. good luck :thumbsup:
