what are you talking about a crankcase intake? its a shee engine for sure... and thats a sweet lookin shee

 

[LUISFER764]

Look at the intake, it isnt in the cylinder, and the flywheel cover is a little different

 

[Larry's Shee]

He's right, if you look the intakes are down and back of the cyls. I believe that would be a case reed intake. some sno-mo engines use it.

i see that now... i was looking on my phone at first its a little hard to see anything on there lol

 

[Paulie B]

I have never seen that before!

I looks to have a 250cc single on it.

 

[Zwiser]

It says it has 250cc must have been a swap

 

[sicivicdude]

It could be a TZR250 parallel liquid cooled twin. Possibly an RD250LC.

I'm not sure if either of those are case reed valved or not but it's possible.

 

[sicivicdude]

Update: If that is a 250cc engine, it's a TZR250. The first version of the engine was a YPVS liquid cooled parallel twin with case reed valves. It had to fit in a backbone frame for a race bike so the carbs were low...

 

[Larry's Shee]

Well if someone can speak Spanish or P R, find out what it is

 

[LUISFER764]

I speak spanish, that banshee is in my country, so I asked to the seller, but he didnt answer

 

[yzrider]

thats odd...... but sorta cool, i want it!

 

[sicivicdude]

It's a TZR250 transplant.

 

[roadkill]

how much power do you think it makes with that engine?

 

[sicivicdude]

yamaha claims 50 BHP @ 10,000RPM. The idea was a road going race bike but that number seems a bit inflated for a stock trim engine that was designed to last any kind of time
