My friend has a 2005 Yamaha Banshee he got it about 3 months ago used and he just got it rebuilt. His parents wants him to have a four stroke(becuase of the mixing gas) and i was windering if it would be a good stright up trade fro my 02 raptor 660 (with mods shown below).. His bashee has delta v-force reeds, and shock blocks. The only reason i want to trade is because ive alwasy loved the 2 strokes powerband, but i need other opinions..

 

Oh and i forgot his banshees coolant boils whenver we go for rides, even fast rode rides.. i was thinking it might be the propeller..

 

i wouldnt do it.

 

ive got both a raptor and a banshee. the raptor is more fun on the track, and the banshee is more fun in the sand. don't get me wrong, they're both fun in both, these are just my preferences. moneywise, the trade would be about even. one thing is for sure, if you haven't had that raptor rebuilt, or at least new rings, you'd probably be better off on the trade cause its gonna need it soon. banshees are also way easier to work on. your probably right about the coolant, but did it do it before the rebuild? if it didn't the head gasket might be pressurizing the system. good luck!

 

Thanks but the kids dad changed his mind.. that sucks 2 i was psyched..lol

 

dude be happy you got a friggin raptor, im still ridin my warrior, due to money issues i cant afford a raptor or banshee,

steve

 

My opinion you should wait for thr 07 models to come out or when the 07 models start to come in you could get a better price

 

That would be cool but ill hopefully have mine sold by then.. for a used but almost new banshee

 

Good luck and hope you like your banshee
