I have had a 99 Warrior Since 2000..learned the basics on it now Im ready to step it up...Im thinking Banshee...Or 400ex....I do alot of trail riding...alot of Ice riding..in the winter on the trails. Im sick of getting wooped on the warrior...But I have heard the Banshee are the best on the durabilty side...I dont want to keep tuning it and ahveing to rebuild it. I have had my warrior since 2000 and never seen a shop or any tools other than a spark plug and has never failed me...what do you guys tihnk I have about $5,000


thanks

Think you'd be happy with a Z400. Good as or better than a 400ex but w/ reverse and water cooled.

 

i agree....or if u can save some more, go for the raptor. Great trail quad and works in MX too.

 

I dont know to much about them...The banshee keeps catching my eye..But there a pain to own aren't they....I like jumps..and mudding..so.......thanks for all the Help

Hmm...Banshee or 400ex.......BANSHEE

 

I wouldn't reccomend any sport quad for mudding. You ice race?? Banshee's high revving nature is great for that. If you do ALOT of tight technical trails though I would suggest the rappy, the z400 will be more power but you will master is shortly b/c it's not that much more powerful than the warrior.

My warrior went throgh everything I threw at it...I loved it...so should a banshee..right?.....Im just not that great or knowledgeable working on them....Thats waht Im worried aobut..I lvoe racing sleds on the ice...etc...some tight trails...mostly snwomoblie trails


Thanks

Banshee's are only reliable as the owner. Keep the filter clean, change the tranny fluid, make sure its jetted good, keep the chain clean.. you know just the usual stuff and the 'shee will last as long as you want it to. My suggestion is to just ride one and see how you like it.

gonna be a HUGE diff going from a mild thumper to a full on, twin 2 stroke. Hope you're ready [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I would recommend a Raptor. Don't think they can't mud. I put my thru some deep stuff a few weeks ago. Check out the video section on www.forgotton.net You'll see me on my rappy towards the bottom [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I have driven 2 stroke dirt bikes I had a 125....Theres one down side to the banshee.......there so LOUD that beggin for the cops...I drove a 400ex for 3 hours it was alright....not like the warrior at all...what can I get $$ wise for a Stock 99 Warrior...Will the back tirs and rims fit on banshee?
