This is a reminder I need to get my 85 Honda ATC finished.

Yamahas need two cylinders to make power, Hondas need one and are far superior @n2otoofast4u :cool:

🤣🤣🤣 you are sadly mistaken. 250r's have there place but it's not building HP or going fast. Motocross 30+yrs ago is about it🤷🏻‍♂️ there is a reason they only built them for 3years.

My ATC 250r has a nice powerband and for sure kinda quick but NOTHING like any newer quad. Sure is fun as hell though 🤣🤣🤣

4 years four the fourtrax 250r. Don't get me wrong I love all 2 strokes. The banshee with Toomey pipes sounded amazing.

They were TOO FAST and deemed unsafe by the Government. LOL. :p

I'll always be loyal to Honda's ...... Bansheees suck.
They suck twice as much because they have 2 carbs.
And strange as it sounds of a guy does a single carb manifold deal on a banshee some how it sucks 3 times as much😎

Anyone that puts a single carb on a banshee should be slapped🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣
My kid wants a Banshee next. I have him on a Blaster with a CT kit now. I've lost the patience to want to mess with the quads, I have three kids running around on them in the dunes. I think he will get a nice/newer 450 next. I couldn't imagine tuning two carbs on a banshee. They sound good and can look good, I still love my Hondas though.

The reason behind the Blaster was I wanted him to learn how to ride something with a power band, clutch and a kick start. His last quad was electric start. He had it easy...

I couldn’t agree more with your second paragraph, good plan.👍

I can understand someone being hesitant on a banshee because of the 2 carb deal.
For what it’s worth? My Raptor 660 has 2 carbs also, and is 5x the pain in the ass vs a banshee.


And for what it’s worth version 2.0
Back in the day when the banshee was the hot item I knew a guy that between him and his new wife had 6 children.
He, the wife, and all the kids rode banshee. And he had a hill banshee on alcohol. So, 9 Banshees total.

Don’t be a pussy, Hammer😎😂

Tuning a banshee is super simple. Actually less finicky and more forgiving the a 250r. And their shin will thank you(any 250r guy knows)🤣🤣

I tuned my 250r's in like a few hours and they ran great for years. If you kick it like a man you have no problems. Yamahas short stroke kickers are the ones that are backwards. 🤣🤣

Yamaha lost me with that stupid TORS system. Yamaha is all foreign to me. JUNK 🤣

Caps, cable and idle screws and the TORS are gone. Cost about $50 and an hour of your time🤔

If you can't find a good OEM, look up Patrick McCarthy on FB. If my current supply of CR250 ignitions ever crap out that is what I probably will be doing

Banshee basic tuning

- 300-330 main
- 27.5-30 pilot
- Stock needle(5N7)- clip in the middle (
( @n2otoofast4u and myself may or may not have depleted availability of those)
- 1.5-2.5 turns out from seated on the air screws
- sync carbs

The TORS crap came out of my banshee in 1988, twist throttle.😎👍

I'm going to start a 2FF thread shortly and sell my '85 250R. I turned 60, I'm not going to ride this thing anymore. I want a golf cart.🤣 View attachment 1442692
I know a retired guy going through his 2nd mid life crisis.
Used to ride one.

What do you want for it?
What does it need?
A project would almost be better.

Speaking of bending needles. I came across this pic the other day! Take note of the wires to the fuel solenoid!! 🤣🤣

I still have my 86 250r fourtrax from years ago. I keep threatening to get it out and make it run again to have some fun in the easement.

I have practice. I Ditched the TORS system on the Blaster. 👌🏻

Blasters are fun too.. with great potential with the correct work. I have built a few. One of the cyl heads I did.

The engraving on the cyl and the sticker on the swingarm means the price goes down right?🤣🤣🤣
😂 This motor runs pretty good. This ain’t no drag queen. All your stuff is on another level.
