engine swap suzushee 350cc

[suzushee 350]

Hello all going to try this again. Figured I would share with you guys and gals my gz250 engine swap. This banshee motor puts out 48whp double the power of the stock motor. This may be the only gz250 with a engine swap on the web. This was a long process and time consuming but it has payed off with tons of power and fun for the city streets hear in florida. As you can see the gz is water cooled now for the banshee motor. Also the whole front frame had to be customized to fit banshee motor. Still have some gear tuning and tire size changing to do and wiring :biggrin: For the ones that don't know the banshee motor. Its a 2 stroke 2 cylinder 350cc 6 speed trans.

Welcome....That's awesome.More pics please!!! ;) :)

[suzushee 350]

Welcome....That's awesome.More pics please!!! ;) :)

Thanks.. I will be posting more pics once I get more time, also start up vids and test ride. I test drove it last week with the 2 into 1 exhaust it killed my top end a lot. So I am in the process of fabing dual exhaust for it. I also need to change the final drive it has a 13 front sprocket and stock rear. This setup propelled me to 65mph real fast lol but that was it toped out with a lot more room to go with gearing. I would be happy with 85 to 95mph top speed. The rd350 transmission inside the cases are geared more for street and there maxed out mph is 120mph I don't think I would feel safe at 120mph on a gz frame lol.

[suzushee 350]

Here is a start up vid hope its not upside down :??:

[blaine]

She sounds nice & "strong. Lucky you got that exhaust fan running. ;) :)

[suzushee 350]

Thanks again I just cant wait to ride it legally on the streets.

[rebel son]

hey ive got a question since your messing around the motor. ive got a 1999 gz 250 myself and i bought it used with only 6000 miles and since ive rode it ive noticed that i seem to run thru all the gears quick and i can only top out at 50 maybe 55 and thats really pushing it to the limit and i dont understand whats going on with it. i thot maybe it needs a tune up or timing needs to be reset or valves need to be really cleaned and reset but i honnestly dont know and im getting fustrated trying to figure out whats going on and how to fix it. so could you or anybody elts give me some ideas on this, it would really help. thanks

[Goose51683]

Rebel, These bikes are small bikes that when going uphill or against the wind can top out around 55. If your looking for a little more power or top end you can search for threads on here relating to "power improvement" and "jetting". There is a ton a great information here and many of these kind of questions have been discussed in great detail. You might also look up "16T gear", I know that's another hotly debated modification discussed on the forum. If you have any questions that you don't see feel free to start a thread and we will all work to answer any questions you may have.

[Goose51683]

Suzushee-

Love what your doing here. I can't wait to see your pictures and hear how she rides and what issues you may run into. If things go well I might have to take a better look into this kind of project. Love my little 250 but a little more power would be nice.

Just like goose said check the jetting or maybe a exhaust system and a re jetting on the carb.

Thanks.. I actually already test drove it with the 2 into 1 exhaust and it killed my top end hp and overall peak hp by at least 10 to 15hp. it also had a top speed of 65mph but man did it get there fast. When I had this motor in my banshee with the pro circuit exhaust it was dual exspansion chambers and dual mufflers. I took 1 pro circuit pipe and ran a 2 into 1 pipe. My old jetting was 350 mains on both carbs when I went to test drive the bike it would not rev threw the rpms like it use to, it almost didn't even rev up because it was so rich, when I put 220 mains she had lots of low to mid power but lost everything up on the top end. So now im redoing the exhaust and trying to fit dual pipes and mufflers, but the bike drives nice and straight and feels real sturdy with the extra power.

[suzushee 350]

Also it has the stock 41 in the back and 13 on the front. So I wanted to go with a 15 front 39 back with a 150 90 15 tire and see where the top speed is with this setup. But being that the banshee motor has short gearing inside the trans and now its only spinning 1 tire I guess this will just be trial and error lol.

[Goose51683]

Sounds like a fun project. Can't wait to see how it turns out when you get it all figured out.

You still in riding weather down there?

[suzushee 350]

Yup its like 75 out during the day. Yea im hopin to be done with it around the beginning of next year. When I finish the dual exhaust I will post vids of it running down the street. But it will deff be a head turner when she is smoking at the light lol

[suzushee 350]

I got the dual exhaust all finished up just have to load all the pics and vid. I also ordered the 16t front for the banshee motor. I wanted to know where you guys found that 39t rear sprocket im not having to much luck finding one. Also just an update the dual exhaust made the bike so much faster.

[Water Warrior 2]

Good to see the project is still ongoing. Sprockets can be likely found at RonAyers or Bike Bandit. If that fails then just Google "SunStar sprockets". SunStar makes most of the sprockets for Japanese bikes so they surely have one available.

Thanks a lot! I was checking with JT sprockets no luck there I will deff try SunStar and bike bandit.

[suzushee 350]

Well no luck on the options listed. I would of thought it would be easy to find a 39t rear but guess not. I installed the 16t front sprocket today along with new chain. It feels awesome! I would love to try the 39t rear with a 140 tire. if anybody can find one send a link thanks alot

[Water Warrior 2]

Sprocket Specialists has a listing for the GZ. Had to really reach back into the memory cells to find them.

[grasshopper]

ww, you beat me to the punch. I was just on their website and it said you could specify the tooth size upon checkout. I was just going to tell him I remembered reading about sprocket specialist in the forum.

[suzushee 350]

Man you guys are great! I will give that a try later on today. I will be working on the wiring soon so I can keep my turn singnals, horn, brake lights, head and tail lights all functioning like it should on a gz250. I did some research and will have to float the ground on the banshee stator because it is AC power and needs to be DC power to charge the 12volt battery. Also wanted to thank you guys for staying posted on this little project I have going on.

[suzushee 350]

Also I need some opinions on front forks and tire size. Right now the bike has stock size tires all the way around. when im making a right turn kinda leaning the right exspansion chamber is scraping the ground so I cant really lean in the right turn kinda same goes for the left turn. ? if I got bigger tires and lifted the back some it seems it would help out a lot but for the front all I can find is race tech fork springs and gold valve. does anybody have experience with the race tech setup? also do you think the gz will benefit from the race tech setup?

[Water Warrior 2]

I won't be silly enough to say "don't lean". Offhand I can't think of a fix.
Hmm. Longer forks could help but there is a lot of variables to consider. Maybe just slide the forks down a wee bit in the triple tree. That and longer rear shocks could gain a little clearance.
Longer forks would be a solution if all went well. You would likely need different forks with different brake parts as well as a fork brace which I think would help with fork flex but mighty hard to find for the GZ fork diameter and spacing.
A long shot here but maybe...........just maybe a complete front fork assembly from an older dirt bike. Brakes, suspension, triple tree, wheel and all the goodies. The downside to this idea is finding a front end to fit the GZ.
Just throwing out ideas here.

[suzushee 350]

Yea that is true the fork diameter on the gz250 are like pencils. I was looking at a gs500 front fork with rim and tire with brakes but the rake on the front would cause an issue I think lol not sure guess I would have to try. Also yea that's funny lol don't lean lol. I mean for now she is ok at the moment but something I will deff have to address later on in the future is the front end

[suzushee 350]

Well moving kinda slow now but did some part ordering. Just ordered used front rotor and new pads and some heat wrap for the pipes. Then I have to order a new rear tire thinking about the 140/90/15 full bore usa tire, I like the tread design. Also I have the front fender tank and rear fender all off getting painted a base coat clear coat ppg gloss black. I went with a 2006 yfz350 engine harness that has a brake light/tail light, so now no battery or turn signals for a cleaner look. I also plan on having the frame powder coated gloss black as well. sorry for no pics but will have up shortly

[alantf]

When you say "no battery", how are you going to start the bike? :confused:

[Water Warrior 2]

When you say "no battery", how are you going to start the bike? :confused:

Kick kick.....ring a ding ding ding.

[suzushee 350]

When you say "no battery", how are you going to start the bike? :confused:

It is a kick start system that's factory on the banshee engine.

[suzushee 350]

lol you got it warrior

[JohnC]

When you say "no battery", how are you going to start the bike? :confused:

Funny!

I look at the GZ250 and say "No kicker? How are you going to start the bike?"

(We call that feature the "Electric Leg".)

hopefully by next week I can send her out to powder coating.

you CAN get good results with a rattlecan (I did my engine guard) All it needs is preparation, preparation, preparation.

Warrior I don't think I could live with out one. what happen to yours?

[suzushee 350]

very true. I was reading on a site for vintage bikes and back then there was no powder coat for the frames and swinger. They used a epoxy primer with epoxy paint. I even heard at a vintage bike show they will deduct points for a powder coated frame. I have been getting powder quotes for the gz frame but its not cheap to do it right.

[Water Warrior 2]

Warrior I don't think I could live with out one. what happen to yours?

Had a nice well lighted and heated large double garage and home on 6.5 acres. Life's little speed bumps appeared and it all went away. Probably for the best though. A few years later I was retired and living in a much warmer climate. And totally debt free.
Dark underground parking will never be like a nice garage and I have named it the Bat Cave with good reason. After trying many methods of lighting providing light to work on bikes or the Ranger I settled on an LED light that clips to the beak of a baseball cap. Hands free and always pointing in the right direction.
The thing I miss most is having the tools all readily available in a garage and enough room to swing a cat or three. Apartment living isn't for everyone but I do like it in general. So far so good in this location after 8, almost 9 years and I can afford the rent.
With a portable table and tail gate of the truck I can usually keep tools sorted and never loose any. Still looking for another bike to tinker with. Was going to go see a GL 500 Silver Wing but I did not like the last email from the seller. A non answer to a question makes me suspicious and leary about something hidden.

Yea those bumps in the road suck the financial ones that is. I used to bring my bikes in threw the front door and had a spare bedroom which was my garage lol. Till the wife said no way Jose!! and 2 kids later lol

[Goose51683]

Funny you guys should mention it, I'm wrestling with making the same decision, stick where I am with a house (that I hate) or move somewhere that I would have to rent. I see the pros and cons of both but it seems like such a counter intuitive step to no longer even try to own a house.

I do worry about where to work on my bike and vehicles. I won't miss working on a house though.

[jonathan180iq]

Is it counter intuitive to not own a home? I hated home ownership, honestly. The only sticking factor would be that I can in control of equity of said property. But we no longer live in a society where people stay in the same house for 30 years... Average car ownership isn't even 5 years anymore. Unless I was going to start a farm and invest millions into a large Victorian or something, I'd rather have a clean and maintained place, living efficiently because of the community closeness, and not have to worry about fixing every little thing out of my own pocket... And pools.... God I'll never own a pool. Again.

I may change my mind at some point in the future. But I have no problem renting and living for the experience instead of the investment.

[Goose51683]

Well that is the point I'm at Jonathan. I just realized today that I've sunk over 70k+ into my house just in mortgage payments, not to mention 10-20k in improvements, and maintenance. Wouldn't be a big deal except that's only over 7 years and I have lost every dime I've put into it.

Real estate agents say it'll take 2 years to sell if I ask what I owe on it.

Now thats a damn good argument for not owning.

[alantf]

Yeah......We bought (on the island) eleven years ago. Prices have doubled, but we couldn't get the asking price (if we wanted to sell) because no one has the cash to pay the crazy asking prices.

[Goose51683]

I bought at what I thought was the bottom after the bubble burst. The house was listed for 180, I got it for 140, and now couldn't sell it for 120.

Real estate sucks ass!

[Water Warrior 2]

The older folks here will remember the Dream of owning their own home. It has been my experience that it is more of a nightmare. I honestly thought owning a home was the way to go. Bad decision on my part. Of course so were the first 2 wives who wanted a house.
Think I have it figured out now. Rent and have a Significant Other who wants you more than a house.

[Goose51683]

I still have hope that things will turn around but the hope is beginning to feel less and less likely

[jonathan180iq]

Exact same place, my friend.

I bought a house in 2007, just before the collapse, and I bought it from my mom who had foolishly started building her dream home before even listing the previous one. Long story short, I purchased it for her pay-off and had about $50,000 in equity from the outset. That didn't last long. Throw a divorce in there, and I've lost tens of thousands of dollars on something that I never really wanted to begin with but that I purchased because OTHER PEOPLE needed more space and room for their relatives to move in....

Anyway - houses a dumb. I appraise real estate for a living so I get the joy of watching this stuff all the time. It almost makes no sense to invest so heavily into something that can be lost on the whims of some shady financial practices... People work their whole lives and make really personally monumental decisions on something that to mortgage lenders is just another piece of data that be discarded or even transferred to another data collecting faux money trader.

Let's start a GZ250 commune... Goose gets to run the windmills, Alan can control the electrical grid and tell everyone how to charge their home batteries at less than 2A for short periods of time, JWR can go on adventures that make everyone jealous with photos that he posts in the great hall, WW and all of the other Canadians can mention places and names of things that no one understands the references too, and I'll post ridiculous and awkward photos...ya know... to keep things light or whatever it is that I do.

[grasshopper]

where is the commune gonna be located? I want in.

[Goose51683]

Just give me an address and a junk pile and we'll get it made.

I call the role of village mad scientist!

you know if we had the gz250 community all these problems would be fixed P.D.Q. and everyone would have more time riding and less stress over their bikes. hhmmm.... I wonder how many mechanics there would be? lol.

Just enough with there always being room for one more.

lol on the light! but seriously though, we would build you a bike from goose's junk pile. You would get too complacent holding the light all the time. we would rotate the light duties.

[ImaginativeFig]

Whassis about light holding?
Also happy birthday JWR
I like birthdays, they usually mean parties, which means free food ^^

We do make exceptions from time to time. You just need to know the secret handshake. Or you could just ask the kid at the local electronics store. I did that as a joke and he said how many Brownies can you eat. His mom bakes special brownies for her pains of old age.

[Goose51683]

That is gonna be one nice looking bike. Who is this pop and does anyone have any tips for painting the tank and other various parts. I did an amateur job on my bike last year but I'd like to do something a little more professional this year.

thanks warrior. No my dad does not ride at all lol.

Pop is my dad and thanks goose for the kind words. Well like one guy said on here its deff all about the prep work and experience. My dad has been painting cars since I was 4 so maybe like 25yrs now. This was his first time job on motor cycle parts and it came out great. You could also invest in a cheap hvlp spray gun set and they run on low psi also you want no water in the air lines at all.

After 25 years I would call that a professional grade paint job. There is no substitute for experience.

Thank you warrior

I love the site how it changes up a lot. Anyways its been almost a month with no serious progress just the front forks installed with bearings repacked and that's it. tomorrow I will order almost all the parts to finish her up. I plan on going with the Michelin commander 2 tires front and back any info or input on these tires would be nice. I would love to put a 150 rear with the stock tale. I measured the inside diameter of the tail support and it would have to be hacked up pretty good amount to clear the 150. but I may just go with the 140 rear 130 front =(

I just want to see the finished product. I'll be patient though. It is going to be something spectacular.

[suzushee 350]

thanks warrior. I have been busy with work and family she is still sitting in the same spot collecting dust now lol. hopefully when I get some spare time I can finish her up

[suzushee 350]

ok guys n girls started ordering more parts got the ac to dc conversion to run a battery on the banshee engine harness. I will be taking more pics to view the progress on this little 350cc. Iam trying to patient buts its hurting me inside to see her just sitting in my garage. I really need help from one of you guys on finding me a 38 or 39 rear sprocket any help would be great thanks

In the sprocket change thread, there is a breakdown of sprocket ordering numbers. If you follow that, you can get any size sprocket you need from Sprocket Specialists. :)

Man o man almost 4 months and finally getting back to the suzushee project. I recently lost my job and have no source of income at the moment. But I am working at home out the garage for anyone who needs repairs done on vehicles motorcycles and atv. I managed to put a little bit of cash to the side for the bike. I will be purchasing new rear tire, air filters for the carbs, head gasket tell you the story later =) and will finally start final assembly man im so dam excited been really patient and everything is dusty tired of looking at her in its current state. I will keep you guys posted with pictures coming soon. I refuse to make this another dead end thread that was never completed =)

Is it too late to make an enquiry on how much modifications were needed to fit the 350? Did you make your own engine mounts or did you just use the ones from the Banshee itself? Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I'd absolutely love to do something similar to my GZ! How's the project coming along so far?

I basically cut the whole bottom half of the frame and reconstructed to fit the banshee 350 motor it was a whole winter project but almost 2 years to complete it and theres still little things here and there that have to be upgraded
