Ive got my eyes on a motor that makes 51 horsepower for less than $200 its a rd350 and its a twin two stroke. Not positive but a thought. I could use a dually carb banshee throttle set up and premix the gas. They were known for there monster killer abilities back in 1975. It weighs 90lbs all alone ya think this is heavier or lighter? anyone ever heard of the swap?
how much does the warrior 350 engine itself weigh?

;D
;D
i couldnt tell ya. i personally havent lifted it. pops helps me out by doing that. i'm not supposed to lift anything over 5-10lbs. the way he strains, i would guess it weighs more than 105. that's just what the shipping sticker said.

Sounds about right....
Clymer manual says dry weight specs are,
87-89 414lbs.
90-on 421lbs.

rd 350 motor?
Hope you like zinging it to the moon. I owned an rd......GREAT city bike, but gutless wonder under 3K rpm.
Plus, the rebuilds every 2 months got old QUICK.

Easy, yes. Cheap..No.
Remember, everything is X2 with a twin....
To me, seems like warrior frame+Banshee motor= worse than the sum of the parts.
The RD was the basis for the rz, which was the basis for the banshee motor.
Yep your absolutely correct . But 59 horse at the crank and 50 lbs lighter and she'd be a monster. $350 for weisco piston top end rebuild including the bore from my local machine shop thats not too bad. And the rd I believe had alot more ponies than the rz but the rz is much more reliable. Ive shifted gears anyhow folks so Its no longer a thought!

2 stroke twins are cheaper to build than 4 stroke singles.

WRONG.
Piston Wiseco 10.25-1 for the warrior...100 bucks with ring, and wristpin.
Pistons for Banshee Wiseco, same compression....185 for the pair.
Already we've blown away that theory.

Actually the price isnt far off.....2 to 4 stroke ....when i rebuilt my top end for the warrior gaskets and all it was about $170,that includes piston gaskets and valve job, for my banshee it will be $5.00 bucks more...$175.00, i only know this cause i have checked it out ! it doesnt need it now but i am already getting my winter list started, for what i am doing next season..mod wise

Wrong??
Wheres cam in the banshee?
Wheres the valves?
Wheres the valve springs?
Wheres cost of valve grinding?
A topend rebuild on a banshee is 180 bucks for both pistons if you dont bore.
To do a total topend rebuild on a 4 stroke you would run into way more money way faster.
