So this was the first attempt at it. Pretty bad low end bog. We have since leaned it out by adjusting the metering rods. And it’s wayyyyyy better than this now. Stay tuned for more videos to watch the progress. 💪🏼
Me to, and I rode a RD350LC which is the most perfectly harmonious twin I ever knew, you can't beat a 2stroke that has a partner 😉 although I was riding the total opposite at the time as well, a XT550J
Yea your air filters will definitely help , maybe try an aftermarket set of reeds an bigger jets in ur carbs, but besides all that , that thing is a beast , I want one now , take my money , great job man.
It’s got v force carbon bigger reeds, and twin lectron carbs. So no jets. And it’s got filters now. This was a while ago. Thanks for watching man, I appreciate it!
@@linksgarage1985 it is fast? My DRZsm is slow but my brothers KTM 690 gets with it pretty well. I have had a two stroke street bikes (NS400r and RZ500) but they weren't that fast unfortunately
What a ripp'n beast ! Just watching this video literally raised my heart rate .Those twin pipes hung under the rear fender look diamond....soooooo cool!
Thank you!!!! It was actually running pretty portly here. I didn’t realize it. Tuned lectrons by adjusting meeting rods, and now it screams. This was a couple weeks ago. More vids to come! Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it!
Bak in my younger day, I have owned a few banshee, Cr125s,250s, quadzilla lt500,. Banshee with 520bore kit was my all time fav,. 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,. It will make its way inside and scratch cylinder walls to shyott,.. Sound like low -mid is out of adjustment,. The computer’s under the seat could be out of adjustment,. When just a hair out of sync,. Will phuaq response up/all out of whack,. Can she do 90mph? Should be getting 97mph easily,. Good looking build,.😎👍👍
Yep. It’ll do 90. It’s got filters etc now. This was just the first ride attempt. It’s much cleaner now! Thanks for watching! It’s got twin 36mm lectron carbs
I need this in my life especially with a bit of Redline racing work down to it this would be a beast a wheelie monster and probably one of the best SM built for sure. Well done 👊🏼🤙🏼
What a beautiful job you did putting that together,,but you pretty much summed it up i bet it's definitely different to ride but a blast getting used to it. Best wishes to ya
Great looking bike there buddy 👍.. i started a CR500 build almost 15yrs ago and then shit happened. Good choice for a motor. You might have to play with the gearing.
If you have no airbox and are running sock filters you will likely need to move the needle up or down, might need to change the needles to clean up the transfer tuning, but what an awesome build!
Il a réinventé le TDR 240 avec un moteur de 350 rdlc 😊 Je crois que je vai me refaire un 350 rdlc ❤️❤️❤️ La moto qui m'a laissé parmi les meilleurs souvenirs 🙄un avion de chasse et de voltige 😂
Reminds me of my Frankenstein bike. Mines a RD400 in a XT350 frame with Suzuki 500 17" rims YZ 125 forks Ohlins shock from a Bombardier... It's like 21 different bikes in one.
I raced one of those engines for years.You need to jet it according to weather and temp.Much better second ride but she's still really rich.Don't be scared lean it out and read your spark plugs.
I saw the title and was like "He did WHAT?!?!" . . Soooo awesome. Sick swap man! Is it just the audio or it sounded like you had a drive chain link sticking or wheel/tire out of balance or something? Higher rpm's sounded like it wasn't under a consistent load, not a hum but had a kind of quiver sound to the motor.
@mototoad1242 thanks! Lol, been riding since I was young. Don't have a super moto but always thought they'd make a great exploring and commuting ride. Looking forward to more videos of this bike!
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?
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.
Yeah I was gonna say didn't sound right at low rpms, when you said no air filters that would explain it. Running a little lean probably without the air filters
Ohh the smell of Klotz amd race gas. Owned a banshee for years best thing I did was flat slide carbs. Ran the best. Never let them idle and always bring extra plugs where ever u go
That's wild. My only experience on a banshee was struggling to keep the front wheels on the ground, can't imagine what that's like on 2 wheels. I was a kid and it was a brand new banshee so maybe I'm misremembering. Sounds right though 😂
Sounds to me like it is having some reed flutter but thats just my humble opinion. Nice bike and once you get it dialed in it will be a wheelie machine for days!
Something sounds out of balance( wheel or sproket...) at speed or maybe I'm just hyper paranoid, beautifully done swap though I'm beyond impressed i must admit
I ran platinum with isopropyl..1 cup a Tank RACING to clear up rich bottom perfectly......I would go one step rich needle and possibly low speed screw then cup isopropyl on platinums.then raise or lower cooler or hotter plug and wheel balance rim locks...run nitrogen on tires likely decrease flywheel weight..run titanium or high temp clutch springs...probably increase valving oil viscosity from 5 to 7.5...and correct spring rate....then adjust fine tire pressure depending on track n temps and rider weight with gear.
Is that an RD 350, I so recognise that sound from my Youth, I've always had a plan to get a motor from one, bore it out, tune it up and slap it in an R6 frame. But seeing it as a Supermoto, I think I just changed my mind. As a long time dirt biker, Supermotos always feel more familiar and comfortable to me. That looks and sounds sweet, (when it was in the power band. So what frame /chassis is that in?
What I would have a problem with is forgetting I’m on 2 dam wheels because of the motor sound.I liable to try and drift a dam corner and forget I’m on a bike😂😂😂😂.Banshee motor is a sound of its OWN!!!ESPECIALLY WITH SOME T5’s
In 1984 the RZ-350 was introduced to America 49 State legal.. In 1985 the introduced the RZ-350 NC new Californian. (Charcoal canisters) A very decent copy of a tz250 twin spar premier chassis. Even comes with YPVS!!! AND THEN IN 87 THEY CAME OUT WITH THE BANSHEE. NO MORE YAMAHA POWER VALVE SYSTEMS!!!!! P.S. Had a 1981 YZ 465, with a 1978 rd400 motor in it. I called it my desert sled. The chambers look much better underneath the bike. Road that around the Coachella Valley for 10 years. Couldn't keep the big air hammer from blowing up!!! (pump gas) A 'Cub', motor (425/RZ) MAKES ABOUT 100 HORSEPOWER!!!! TDX, I think with Yamaha called the Enduro version with this engine in it. Excuse me it was the TZR- 250 engine in it. (Japanese only) They crossed the Chambers up front. Just saying...................
So this was the first attempt at it. Pretty bad low end bog. We have since leaned it out by adjusting the metering rods. And it’s wayyyyyy better than this now. Stay tuned for more videos to watch the progress. 💪🏼
Yeah, you get that thing dialed & hold TF on!
I mean i'm not even a two stroke fan and that is a nasty bike. Love it.
@@artvandelay8030 thanks man!!!
Because you Ain't using all the throttle! Loaded that thing up Real Good!
@@supermanmoto10that’s what I was thinking.. like does he know this is the og king HOONING power plant??
Man that's music to my ears. You can hear stumbling a little bit In the lower RRPM but it sounds great in powerband. Cool build my friend.
Thank you! Yea, still needs more fine tuning. But it’s getting there!
+1
I'm old enough to remember when the RD350 came out and those were such a blast to wheelie for blocks .
Hell yea! Little monsters
Ooh the 350lc! The smell of 2 stroke brings back many happy memories.
@@leighleigh4254 best smell in the world.
Me to, and I rode a RD350LC which is the most perfectly harmonious twin I ever knew, you can't beat a 2stroke that has a partner 😉 although I was riding the total opposite at the time as well, a XT550J
Anyone remember the TDR, this reminds me of that 😃
That's sick, I've seen that done in an XL before.
You can't beat the sound of the Banshee screaming through the streets 😮
Thank you! I yes definitely a different ride. It’s a bit cleaner now. This was the first hit.
Kaplan did it
@@deborahchesser7375 Jr. bought that one,
but it was a ripper wasn't it
@@6AlphaMikeCharlie9 the exhaust looks kinda different but there’s no doubting that 350 smoker, beating bigger motors for over 50 years
That thing sounds so badass when you are in the upper rpm's.
It’s waaayyy better now. It was super rich here. Stay tuned!
Upper rpms? He barely hit 7500. He'll that's only touching the bottom of the band. He's scared sh*tless of hitting it from 8000 up
I just love the Banshee engine so much.
Thanks for watching!
Now this is a project I can get behind and support! Great job and will always love that sound!!
Thank you!
Yea your air filters will definitely help , maybe try an aftermarket set of reeds an bigger jets in ur carbs, but besides all that , that thing is a beast , I want one now , take my money , great job man.
It’s got v force carbon bigger reeds, and twin lectron carbs. So no jets. And it’s got filters now. This was a while ago. Thanks for watching man, I appreciate it!
You didn’t even let the power ban kick in 🤬🤯
Fuel delivery issue. That was full throttle. Believe me. Had to work the bugs out.
@linksgarage1985 OK good i was gonna comment saying where was the powerbandat lol man love those engines just got mine back together
Not sure how the algorithm landed me here, but I'm glad it did! Love it.
Thank you! I’m sure glad it’s finally getting some exposure. This was the first ride, it’s a bit better now.
@@linksgarage1985 it is fast? My DRZsm is slow but my brothers KTM 690 gets with it pretty well. I have had a two stroke street bikes (NS400r and RZ500) but they weren't that fast unfortunately
@@jeffg4008 it’s alright
Plug gaps and jetting massive on those engines ❤great bike mate
Thank you sir!
There's no bike ever that. I've ever heard child like that. One of a kind keep building Man
Wow! You are obviously very creative. To think up something like that and then build it. Awesome.
The pipes look pretty wild. My neighbors would be thrilled.
🤣💪🏼
When your expansion pipe drags before your pegs. Absolutely sick tho.
Thank you!
The shift lever would prolly been perfect with riding boots...
Black and blue is an appropriate color for this bike...
I swapped the shift lever. It’s all good no! The banshee engine vs the Husqvarna cradle position made it weird. We got it though.
What a ripp'n beast ! Just watching this video literally raised my heart rate .Those twin pipes hung under the rear fender look diamond....soooooo cool!
Thank you!!!! It was actually running pretty portly here. I didn’t realize it. Tuned lectrons by adjusting meeting rods, and now it screams. This was a couple weeks ago. More vids to come! Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it!
Look diamond? is that some new slang for looking good?
@tommys2979 Precisely , good sir its pretty much bog standard banter for excellence.

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,. It will make its way inside and scratch cylinder walls to shyott,..

Yep. It’ll do 90. It’s got filters etc now. This was just the first ride attempt. It’s much cleaner now! Thanks for watching! It’s got twin 36mm lectron carbs
First road bike was an RZ350 so much fun in the city 🥰
Hell yea!
I need this in my life especially with a bit of Redline racing work down to it this would be a beast a wheelie monster and probably one of the best SM built for sure. Well done 👊🏼🤙🏼
Thank you! It’s definitely cool.
the melody of a 2-stroke twin engine 😍😍😍
Thank you!
SWEET Ride Brother. CANNOT beat and Stroke Power-Band.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
hearing a 2stroker on the road brings me back to early 90s wr memories.
What a beautiful job you did putting that together,,but you pretty much summed it up i bet it's definitely different to ride but a blast getting used to it. Best wishes to ya
Once you get that thing dialed in that's going to be a beast, crabs need to be leaned out but after that I would love to have this 😂. Great job 💯
Thank you!
Its like yamaha made a 2014 rz350. That thing is clean!!!
Thank you! It’s much better looking now! This was a while ago.
carb needs tuning my dude. sick swap though for sure! that motor should be ripping at like 15k+
For sure. It has twin lectron carbs. It’s much better now. This was just the first attempt.
I bought a new Banshee in 2003 and it was surprisingly smooth down low.
Wicked machines!
Great looking bike there buddy 👍.. i started a CR500 build almost 15yrs ago and then shit happened. Good choice for a motor. You might have to play with the gearing.
My CR 500 is the bike I regret selling the most.
No airfilters can definitely cause a low end bog.. like turning an air filter upside down on an engine. you get that drop and go,low end bog..
The cops are going to hate that I love it
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Sounds like wheel balance issue. Or possibly a stretched chain.
Front wheel. This was the first rip. Been fixed since
If you have no airbox and are running sock filters you will likely need to move the needle up or down, might need to change the needles to clean up the transfer tuning, but what an awesome build!
Yea. It’s a little tricky to tune. It has twin lectron carbs. No needles. No jets. Just metering rods. 😫
Holy smokes, this thing is sweet! Couple days of some tuning and she'll eat!

Hell yea they are.

Nice build!!! 👍💪🥋🛠️ I would totally be getting on that piece, bro!
Thank you! It’s fun!
Well done. Screamer motor. They scream at the dunes. Great bike. It’s a plug eater.

The stretch is throwing it off.

Is it just the audio or it sounded like you had a drive chain link sticking or wheel/tire out of balance or something? Higher rpm's sounded like it wasn't under a consistent load, not a hum but had a kind of quiver sound to the motor.
Yea man. Front wheel balance. This was the first ride. It’s way better now. Thanks for watching!
Good catch!

fantastic build brother i bet that will make your eyes water
It’s definitely a different kind of machine. Appreciate you watching!
That's badass but have you seen the one Kaplan cycles has with a banshee motor 🤔 would be cool to see both bikes together
I sure have. The XLshee! It’s wild
That is a buzz-bomb, all right.
Sounds like it wants to *GO!*
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
Yeah I was gonna say didn't sound right at low rpms, when you said no air filters that would explain it. Running a little lean probably without the air filters
It was actually rich. I leaned it up by adjusting the metering rods, and not it rips! Plus I made some custom air filters video coming soon!
Umm yes it's not even full powerband yet wait till he richen it up alot and changes needles and sync carbs lol
"PEP" you say..... lmao!! Bravo 😁
You know, you put a lot of time into that. Good man like I said i'm jealous
Ohh the smell of Klotz amd race gas. Owned a banshee for years best thing I did was flat slide carbs. Ran the best. Never let them idle and always bring extra plugs where ever u go
Thank you! Klotz smells amazing.
Man that thing is beautiful awesome job bro!
Thank you! This was the beginning. It looks much better now!
Cool set up..👍🏼
Thank you!
Sick! may want to fab cage protectors for the chambers.
Not a bad idea. They just look so rad open. Ha
That’s incredible, good work.
Thank you!
When you hear a Banshee coming and it's Moto Bike.
People break their necks! Haha
Reminds me of my TDR250 back in the day… nice work!
Looks and sounds like my rieju drac I had in my youth!
Hell yea!
Perfect roads to be cruising like that. 👍👍
Thank you!!
I always dreamed about putting the RZ 350 motor into a FZR 400 chassis.
That's wild. My only experience on a banshee was struggling to keep the front wheels on the ground, can't imagine what that's like on 2 wheels. I was a kid and it was a brand new banshee so maybe I'm misremembering. Sounds right though 😂
It’s right. Your memory is excellent. That’s how it goes. lol. Thanks for watching!
Saw this mental thi g & had to have a watch. Stunning mate.. 😎🙏👊👍✌🇬🇧
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Put the choke on a lil bit always and it won’t bog, it’s probably getting too much air without the filters so it’s running to lean
It’s quite a bit better now. This was a while ago. Thank you for watching!
Sounds perfect ,nobblys in snow 👍
Super light, super narrow, prob ~50hp, and sticky boots. That's a fun-haver right there.
Hell yea! It’s different for sure.
"shes got some pep in her step" as someone im related would once say
Sounds to me like it is having some reed flutter but thats just my humble opinion. Nice bike and once you get it dialed in it will be a wheelie machine for days!
Think it’s was lean. This is a pretty old vid.
Something sounds out of balance( wheel or sproket...) at speed or maybe I'm just hyper paranoid, beautifully done swap though I'm beyond impressed i must admit
It was fri t wheel. She’s good now.
That is amazing motorcycle with the banshee enguine
Thank you!
I would just keep riding redcast the house on the way back
Love it! Sounds great and it's only going to get better with some refinements🎉
Thank you!
its.... its....... so beautiful
Thank you!
That's a real beast
Thank you!
I love that Banshee sound, but it's a little muffled through the helmet
The rz350 would of been a better stop but that has to be a mean bike
It’s cool for sure
I ran platinum with isopropyl..1 cup a Tank RACING to clear up rich bottom perfectly......I would go one step rich needle and possibly low speed screw then cup isopropyl on platinums.then raise or lower cooler or hotter plug and wheel balance rim locks...run nitrogen on tires likely decrease flywheel weight..run titanium or high temp clutch springs...probably increase valving oil viscosity from 5 to 7.5...and correct spring rate....then adjust fine tire pressure depending on track n temps and rider weight with gear.
Check were plug boots goes in wire maybe if not that try a full synthtic oil if your not then mix it little thiner Check jetting
No jets. Has lectron carbs. Full synthetic. This was a while ago. The bike is quite a bit different now. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it
Seamed to be running ruff
It was running rough. This was almost a year ago
nothing like a 2 stroke 😎
Thank you!
It's the dual pipes for me
Thank you!
Nice bike. I just saw Kaplan cycles do one as well. Crazy motor even in the day. I has a warrior. & this machine was crazy fast !!
For sure. And Kaplan is great!
Sound like a mini hellcat engine
🤣. Not sure about all that. It does sound cool though.
this is hard asf
Thank you!
This is indeed very fuckin cool 😂
Hell yea! Thanks man!
Great job on the murder missile it'll be awesome to see you rip it
Got a good vid coming soon. It’s wayyyy better now. 😉
2strokes never in the low revs, always in the high rpm powerband,ride it like you stole it, wake it up,epic build
That thing is obnoxious!!!!!!! Beeeuuuttttiful!!!! Just nasty looking. That’s a build to be proud of. Looks so mean and sound’s perfect
Thank you! This was a while back. It looks better now!
Very nice I love my two strokes
..not to excited about sneakers on my bikes since my last crash lol ..
Sick swap on a plated bike.
Thank you!
It sounds so cool.
I'm looking for a four wheeler and I don't see any
Just like xlshee from kap cycles
Yep. Wild
She sounds great I think she runs lean and change your sprockets chain and clutch pack
Just fuckn ride it already!!!your gonna have to set your purse down 😂adah boy
Nice!
Should be able to lay rubber with the front wheel putting it back down if the gearing is anything like a rz 350
Those RZs were badass
Is that an RD 350, I so recognise that sound from my Youth, I've always had a plan to get a motor from one, bore it out, tune it up and slap it in an R6 frame.

Thanks bro!
Toomey pipes really wake the banshee motor up and gives you an extra 1000 rpm on your adrenaline meter lol
In 1984 the RZ-350 was introduced to America 49 State legal..

Absolutely beautiful sir
Thank you!!! I appreciate you watching!
sick build! really nice craftsmanship and detail. What was the base bike you put it in?
Thank you. It’s a 2012 Husqvarna TE250. So it’s street legal.
It’s much nicer now!
Not running quite right maybe the carb and jetting 😊
Carb related. It has Lectrons. No jets.
