CEO CR250 325cc Cylinder Kit for Yamaha Banshee (2005–2007 Conversion)

If you’re building a serious Yamaha Banshee, stock cylinders are no longer part of the conversation. The CR250 325cc Cylinder Kit by CEO (CR Conversion Engineering) for 2005–2007 CR250 platforms represents one of the most respected, race-inspired cylinder conversions ever developed for the Banshee community. This is not a bolt-on gimmick — it’s a true performance transformation rooted in two-stroke racing heritage.

At its core, this kit adapts the legendary Honda CR250 2005–2007 cylinder architecture to the Yamaha Banshee engine platform, unlocking airflow, port timing, and displacement potential that factory Banshee cylinders simply cannot achieve. The result is brutal midrange torque, explosive top-end pull, and a broader, more usable powerband — whether you ride dunes, drag race, hill climb, or build show-quality performance machines.

Why CR250 Cylinders on a Banshee?

The 2005–2007 CR250 cylinders are widely recognized for their advanced port design, superior exhaust flow, and modern casting geometry. When converted properly by CEO, they become the foundation for 325cc displacement per cylinder, pushing your Banshee into an entirely different performance class.

Most competitor listings stop at vague claims like “more power” or “race proven.” What they fail to explain is why this setup works better:

• Larger, more efficient transfer ports

• Improved exhaust port shape for higher RPM stability

• Superior reed and intake flow potential

• Better compatibility with modern pipes and domes

CEO’s conversion process addresses alignment, coolant routing, stud placement, and port symmetry — areas where lesser conversions fail.

Built for Riders Who Know Two-Stroke Power

This kit is designed for enthusiasts who respect real two-stroke engineering. The CNC-machined aluminum cylinders are finished to exact tolerances, allowing aggressive port timing without sacrificing reliability. Whether you’re chasing dune dominance or building a drag Banshee that shocks people at the line, this kit delivers predictable, controllable power with race-level durability.

Paired with the right crank, carbs, pipes, and ignition, the CEO 325cc CR250 kit consistently supports 100+ horsepower builds — while still being rideable for aggressive trail or dune use.

Real-World Riding Use Cases

• Dune riders wanting instant throttle response and endless pull in tall paddles

• Drag racers looking for fast spool-up and top-end RPM stability

• Hill climb competitors needing torque that doesn’t fall off

• Custom builders creating show bikes with legitimate performance credibility

Unlike generic big-bore kits, this setup scales with your build. Mild or wild — the cylinders don’t limit you.

Trusted CEO Engineering

CEO (CR Conversion Engineering) is trusted because they understand both platforms — Yamaha Banshee and Honda CR250 — at an engineering level. Their conversions are known for:

• Accurate port mapping

• Clean coolant passages

• Strong casting integrity

• Long service life under high RPM

This is why experienced builders and racers consistently choose CEO over budget conversions.

Why This Kit Beats Alternatives

• Larger usable powerband than stock or standard big bores
