Love it man! Pretty much the ultimate daily driver. Theres something about a 2 stroke being street legal that a modern sport bike can't compete with. Plus is a banshee engine!!!!
100 mph on a small wheel, short wheelbase bike...‼👍👍 Keep the Banshee engine, stabilize the bars, torque every nut and bolt, and hold on! Keep doing what you do!
As an original 1977 Yamaha RD -400 2 stroke Twin owner myself ( I bought it new off Don Vesco Yamaha’s Showroom floor Here in my hometown of El Cajon Ca. In 1978 , my Graduation present to myself) and having now owned it for almost 45 years I can attest to the adrenaline rush every time it “ Comes on the pipe “ and tries to wheelie out from under you. Your little beast is probably around 50 pounds or more lighter than my old air cooled bike ( I believe mine weighs in around 340 lbs or so ) and looks to be easily able to top out around 115-120 mph or so like mine does once topped out in 6th gear. Wheeeeeee!!! You are a Madman like me & at my age now (62-1/2😉) I’ve got no reason to slow down now . Enjoyed watching this build and glad you got it all repaired and back together again . Keep it “ Rubber side down “ . One more thing; “ Mexico “ sure looks a lot greener than I remember.😏😆👍😎. C-ya man . Stay cool now , ya hear ?? 👌
I know you said you can rebuild these motors pretty easily but I’m still so very impressed with your ease of building. Keep the engine you have in it, it’s insane! And yeah steering dampener for sure. So cool!👏
I'm speechless right now because your doing what I think of and can't possibly done all this by myself. I love the idea of 2 stroke engines in a grom. Most badass grom I have ever seen. That is a trophy to keep and love. You have no idea how much I want that grom. If you ever have to many projects and want to sell it. Please let me get first dibs. Incredible super awesome job. I've been riding for awhile and would love to have a street legal 2 stroke.
Agreed, no doubt it would of been ok if he kept the primary and clutch gear ratios as standard. But then it would be more aggressive in the lower gears. I suppose it’s pretty easy to drop a tooth on the front sprocket if he decides to go for top speed.
It will still do it with enough road.. Like on an Interstate highway. But I agree, he has it geared up quite a bit, which is good, because it would be popping wheelies much worse with stock gearing.
Definately leave it streetable! It looks like a blast to ride and it goes plenty fast the way you have built it. Great work and keep the content coming!
One of your best builds Vasily! I want one really bad now damn it! This is exactly the kind of sleeper thing I love. Oh it's just a Grom then it rips past like your standing still.
I'm usually one who doesn't like different manufacturers engines inside other manufacturers vehicles.....but when it's a Banshee's 350 twin 2-stroke in a Grom.... I absolutely approve 🤣👌 Edit: steering stabilizer and start it and allow it to come up to a respectable temperature first instead of worrying about trying to get it up to temp while moving, it'll definitely help.... might also look into a smaller radiator as well as a different oil viscosity.
Change the rake In head sock by a few degrees will lessen the wobble a bit . You know when you got the pipes right as the front wheel won’t stay on the ground . Pee around with the pipes and when you got it right it’ll be a whole new monster . Read up on tuning from Stan stevens ,one of the worlds best tuners of them motors . He builds 130bhp 525cc engines from a banshee motor . Just don’t fit that motor or you’ll need wheelie bars at 130mph
The banshee is my favorite quad of all time. The fact that you put that engine into a little grom is just INSANE. Insta sub from me. Keep up God's work!
She looks way more comfortable and better with the pro taper bars and The headers turned out dope!! I think it would look sick with some braided/colored radiator hoses and you should most definitely keep the banshee motor!! Add a stabilizer and figure out a way to make A one piece silencer using a set oh shorty's, even if it's only two avoid friction from the police!! All in all she turned out sick and has plenty potential as far as power, control/ St ability and aesthetics goes! That's the sickest grom I've seen, keep up the good work kid and keep bringing us gnarly content. SN: a smaller radiator would help with getting it up to temperature. I know that all sounds good but in all actuality expenses are a factor lol comes with the territory.. All that being said, execute that check list with some original ideas of your own and you'll be dominating the grom scene in every aspect of the game.
One of my first street bikes back in the day was an RZ350 Kenny Roberts. Same motor banshee twin cylinder liquid cooled 2stroke only difference is it had oil injection. What a fun bike that was as a 17 year old !
looks like a blast to ride. I would go up a few (maybe 3) teeth on the rear sprocket to wake it up a little under the power band and get some use out of 6th gear. As you said a steering stabilizer is a must.
You may want to chop the frame behind the head tube and add more rake to the front end to get it more stable at speed. Maybe just a degree or two. Should make it much less twitchy. Don't want to go too much or you'd lose some cornerability.
I felt your adrenaline rush when you hit 99 and bars started getting shaky a steering stabilizer and gusseting or reinforcement would help fight against speed wobbles a steering stabilizer #1 would improve everything. Gusseting/reinforcement will help keep frame flex to a minimum which is what causes speed wobbles I can't see the added weight hurting much either would probably plant the bike better also. She's nasty man great job and the pipes seem to still have a pretty mean powerband routed and fitted clean too I understand how hard it is to fit them where you're comfortable without changing the characteristics and dimensions of the pipes 2 stroke motorized bicycles have the same challenges in that aspect alot of respect for your work brother you're killing it
The bearing will not be capable of those speeds. Front and rear wheel bearings. Please check often. This thing, while beautiful, is basically a hand built bike. All things dealing with power and speed need updating, like an chev truck people put 400hp through, new Trans, new rear end, etc.
Biggest concerns for streetability: (1) steering stabilizer is a must (2) While it looks cool where you are, what about summer temperatures and that radiator? Is there a fan for if you ever have to sit in traffic? (3) It's freaking glorious!
Usually the beveled gears transfer power better because more then one tooth is in contact at a time, but the trade off is it will increase loading in the axial direction and need a thrust bearing
@@str8huckin876 Strength of teeth is a factor of the design and properly set backlash. Usually guys dont set the backlash right and then get the experience of a weaker gear design. The reality is it is much stronger than straight cut gears and also more expensive
I'm an older writer I love everything you do I always watch it just kills me when I see somebody engine braking like backing off the throttle without pulling in the clutch and letting it wind down as a mechanic it's not really healthy for a two-stroke I mean if you're racing you do what you got to do because engine breaking can be important but it hurts the machine anyway just thought I'd say that I'm not being a dumb dumb if you know what I mean but love your videos absolutely
Try tapered roller bearings in the steering stem instead of damper. Also, use a plate of glass to get fork tubes in same plane, and make sure they're parallel, too. Funky suspension geometry can support weird oscillations that turn into tank slappers.
I've had a honda monkey with a 190cc engine and ~20hp. That was fast and funny to drive. But this thing has double displacement AND is a 2 cylinder 2 stroke. I cannot imagine how crazy it is to drive. Good job
A steering dampener is a must lol, but I would be worried about the tires if they are stock. I can't imagine they are good at those speeds. Great build and can't wait to see more of it!
This is currently the wildest build I've seen this year. I would love to ride something like this, I cannot imagine what a banshee motor must feel like on a grom frame 😅
I require a bike like this. Omfg. I ride a crappy bandit 650 that needs a dyno run and I bet the powerband and torque would be insane and it looks really fun! This would be perfect for short travel, intense country roads.... Lots of twisties in Ireland lol, it'd be a great craic. I can't imagine the feeling this would bring
That thing is quick! I don't think it needs more power unless you plan on taking it to the track... Speed wobbles/tank slappers at speed like that are a suspension/geometry issue. It's likely the spring rate or rebound setting of the front forks (It doesn't look like the frame has excessive flex). Put some zip ties on the forks to see what your travel looks like (are you bottoming out?) and set suspension sag to something reasonable. If it's far off get new springs/fork internals so you can adjust things. It looks like those front forks are already near the end of their travel.
I own a stock 1982 Yamaha Rd350lc (same motor) which I’m sure weighs more then a Grom. After my restoration a few yrs back I pulled some top speed runs and it topped out around 180kms or 111 mph. I’m sure the grom can get to 115mph easily if you can hold on
Best engine yamaha produced i think. Had it the rd/rz street bike series since 83 i believe. Not sure the gearing on the banshee but those rz 350cc would do about a 12 second quarter mile dead stock.
You still have a gear left, but it seems to be struggling to go faster in fifth..... add a couple of teeth to the rear sprocket, harder launches 😬 but might get you revving a little faster to get you more into the powerband.
This is my dream..not even this much power..the grom to me is the perfect size bike..just needs to be quick ...I was in a bad wreck so now I ride smaller bikes cause my leg don't like heavy bikes...and as most have found out groms are awsome..I love everyone on 2 wheels..and the some
10/10 I'd leave that thing as is. Just get a damper on it and polish up all the loose ends. Would love to see it make some passes down the track! Killer job as usual man.
Hello Vasily...Love your channel :) people who are talking you ruined the pipes... if you dont change volume of pipes everything is ok...about steering dumper i will say you need it... i have it on my electric scooter that has 50mph top speed but my tires are 10inch diameter :D :D ...stay safe, strong and healthy brother 💪💪🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
You sir are the man that is a beautiful build and your craftsmanship shows . Definitely get a steering stabilizer and watch for brake fade keep it up and till the next video God bless .
Awesome job! But watch the downshifting you don't want to starve the engine of fuel and lock it up. Remember the oil is in the gas if you downshift and engine brake too long it will cause engine damage.
100% need to get a steering damper. I dont remember if those are the stock fork springs but a stiffer set would help prevent head shake, which would be my main concern with higher speeds and a short wheelbase. I dont think it's too fast, but I wouldnt add anymore power.
That's sick, bro! Also, your clutch lever is adjustable, but you don't seem to realise :P It's all the way out, bring it in two notches so that you can one finger it, instead of moving your whole hand to use it.
Mayby you should try little bit shorter gearing. I dont know if you were giving full throttle on the 5th gear pull, but it seems that it did not rev out fully. If you put right gearing so that it would pull 6th gear to the end. You could get even a bit more top speed?
I'm just glad someone did a swap and then RODE it. Looks great. I wouldn't classify that as unrideable . 100mph is way too fast for 12" wheels but to each their own. Rent it to me for a day ? lol
I'd leave it alone as for power. Steering stabilizer will help alot. And find a smaller rad or a thermostat to get temps were u want it. All tho depending on temperatures outside changing u may need that bigger rad when it's hot out and u run it a long distance. If you can ride it a long distance that is. Lol my old back wouldn't let me do that anymore. To many cycle wrecks. Lol Edit. Also man I'd bet money you have a few men looking looking to build this bike now 100%!!! I'm one of them!!!❤
How do straight cut gears put less stress on the crank?????? The reason gears are made with slanted teeth and not Strait cut is because they are always trying to climb over each other and or are forced apart especially constent meshed gears. The slanted tooth is longer for better tooth engagement,quiet operations and slanted teeth pull in to each other under operation instead of tying to devours each other like straight cut gears.

As a banshee owner... Change nothing...except a steering dampener,what a little rocket 🚀
I agree.. It's just right how it is.
I agree, change nothing, add a dampener, finalize the build cosmetically.
Or change the crank for a bigger stroke and have some insane power. I love banshees. Hell 2 in 1 carb made a big difference.

Sounds great! I don't think you'll have enough HP to pull 6th. It's not quite fully revving out 5th all the way. Sounds great though.
6th gear is for cruising to conserve fuel.
Agreed, no doubt it would of been ok if he kept the primary and clutch gear ratios as standard. But then it would be more aggressive in the lower gears.
I suppose it’s pretty easy to drop a tooth on the front sprocket if he decides to go for top speed.
That bike should be able to rev all the way through every gear. It needs tuning.
It will still do it with enough road.. Like on an Interstate highway. But I agree, he has it geared up quite a bit, which is good, because it would be popping wheelies much worse with stock gearing.
@@mozer30 Raise a tooth on the counter shaft for more top end. Or decrease the rear sprocket.

its because of its lack of silencers, its changed its tune on the carbs :/
Are your tires rated for those speeds? Make sure you get really good tirs if you have not already

Careful my friend I love your videos keep being able to make them

Sick build dude. Yeah don’t do 120 on that thing we get it, it’s fast. Be safe don’t kill your self.
This bike looks fantastic! The only thing I would change is I would add a couple silencers to quiet it down a bit.
Not just that they crate back pressure which can massively effect it's tune and would help it warm up too
When the back end is trying to overtake the front end, the jobs a good one.
Such a sick build. Stay safe out there!
That thing is quick! I don't think it needs more power unless you plan on taking it to the track...
Speed wobbles/tank slappers at speed like that are a suspension/geometry issue. It's likely the spring rate or rebound setting of the front forks (It doesn't look like the frame has excessive flex).

You should make a front fairing for it…and see if it helps with the aerodynamics.

Sick Grom. You are both skilled and very brave.
Mexico is beautiful this time of year

Also, your clutch lever is adjustable, but you don't seem to realise :P

Yes I think shorter gearing will help 👍 but it did seem to be a little lean up top
Dope video. I wanna swap mine now lol. Anything over 75 mph on a grom is beautiful.
I'd go up on the wheel sprocket by about 5 teeth and stabilizer. Might not be as fast but you will have that bottom end torque starting off in 1st.
I'm just glad someone did a swap and then RODE it. Looks great. I wouldn't classify that as unrideable . 100mph is way too fast for 12" wheels but to each their own. Rent it to me for a day ? lol
I need one to troll my neighbourhood. 🤯💨 Do it, Put the bigger motor on! Rip Vasily, you'll be missed. ☠😅
Straight up awesome!
I've always wanted to do a similar build using a YSR50 as a base....
i love seeing banshee and rd350 swapped bikes, but what about a banshee with an rd500 with the 4 carbs? that would be a literal god quad!
i would have never dared going that fast on such a little thing
Love the MIXGAS tag! Awesome build!
Man ya gotta love that 2 stroke power band ❤
Thing looked sweet brother hard to beat a two stroke … just slow down take your time and be careful man bikes are fun but dangerous God Bless
I'd leave it alone as for power. Steering stabilizer will help alot. And find a smaller rad or a thermostat to get temps were u want it. All tho depending on temperatures outside changing u may need that bigger rad when it's hot out and u run it a long distance. If you can ride it a long distance that is. Lol my old back wouldn't let me do that anymore. To many cycle wrecks. Lol
Edit. Also man I'd bet money you have a few men looking looking to build this bike now 100%!!! I'm one of them!!!❤
Probably should have some cans to mute the scream into some pleasant tinning 😍
How do straight cut gears put less stress on the crank?????? The reason gears are made with slanted teeth and not Strait cut is because they are always trying to climb over each other and or are forced apart especially constent meshed gears. The slanted tooth is longer for better tooth engagement,quiet operations and slanted teeth pull in to each other under operation instead of tying to devours each other like straight cut gears.
