Banshee investigation
- Thread starter LanzSilva
- Start date
Measured with caliper on a new never installed ... there is 2 of them one on the opposite side 180 degrees
14.1 mm
Thanks!
I did not know that the flywheel banshee had two lobes on equal opposite sides.
Cant tell more about it There is 2 on the one I have .Bought it some years ago on e -bay
looks like the picture
Brand New
And other parts for using it.
Except for the fastening adapter .Got some Aluminum scrap plate for making the adapter .
A friend have machines.
But got other charging parts for the stock system.
So not tried the banshee
Since the Banshee and it's "father", the RZ 350 both are 180 degree 2 stroke twins, it needs a spark for every 180 degree crankshaft rotation. The easiest way to do that is 2 lobes, a single pickup and a dual coil. Both cylinders get a spark just before TDC, and just before BDC.
On the 650 the banshee pickup ends up at the ~~2 o'clock position. You have to grind off one of the lobes. Adjustable banshee stator mounting plate is your amigo.
What about balancing the flywheel after removing one lobe?
