Those computers that connect to carbs on dual carbs, when it’s out of tune it will ALWAYS run shitty,. I miss mine,. I would probably get bigger size dual carbs,. 34mm. And definitely make some sort of airbox/filter.,, u would be surprised the amount of grit/dust/dirt from the road u kick up while riding,.

That engine has been full circle. They borrowed the basic engine design from the RZ350 for the Banshee, now the engine from a Banshee is put back into a motorcycle. If I'm not mistaken, the RZ350 had power valves but the Banshee does not. I wonder if an RZ350 cylinder would bolt right up to it, to get you the power valves, assuming they're electronic and don't need matching bottom end hardware?

@linksgarage1985

4 ай бұрын

You are correct. I heard that’s how the banshee came about. They had left over RZ engines they could no longer sell because of emissions. And they put them in a quad. And bam. They banshee was born. Because off-road vehicles didn’t have to meet the emissions standards. Not sure if that’s all true. But I read it long ago.
