I have a 86 R and a 96 Banshee. I am wanting to get into MX racing. My R has a fmf pipe, larger carb, k&n, .40 over, ported cylinder (but it feels as if it is ported for top end), reeds, I think is all that will help in mx racing. My Banshee has pro circuit pipes, toomey air intake, nerfs, tether switch, and that is about all that would help me in mx racing. I think the R needs all bearings replaced, the stock shocks are pretty much shot, the frame is in rough shape(I mean the paint (its 20 years old)), but no cracks. My biggest concern is the left case, where the case saver bolts up, the bolt holes are broken (like many), but it does not leak. For the Banshee, it is about time for a new clutch. I love my R and would like to race it, but I also just have the banshee setting around. Money is the biggest issue for me right now (poor college student), but I do have this summer off and would like to begin racing. Should I focus on the R, if so what mods should I focus on or maybe put what little money I have in the banshee, if so, what mods for the banshee should I focus on. Any help or information is needed.
