thats what it looks like ... its completly stock other than the tires

man i cant wait till monday...

 

Congrats on the quad. Looks like one of the cylinders isnt firing in one of those pics. Make sure you check that when you pick it up.

 

this is the first time im dealing with a banshee so what exactly should i look for....im assuming each pipe carries exhaust for its own cylender, so all i ahve to do is make sure that exhaust is coming from both right?
is there anything else i should look out for?

-thanks a lot for all the help

 

Make sure both brakes work well
Make sure the quad shifts through all 6 gears
Make sure it goes into neutral
When it warms up hit it WOT (wide open throttle) make sure it doesnt pop or backfire
Make sure tires hold air
Clutch is responsive
Check the lights and the horn... just joking on the horn
Make sure the choke works

And yes each exhaust pipe has its own cylinder

 

thanks so much

ill get back to you after i go see it..

 

well, i went to go pick it up yesterday..

i bought it... i checked all the things u said and it was in good shape..started right up and all.


i also got a chance to ride it yesterday ..

this thing is CRAZY

coming off an ozark this thing is unbelivably fast....

i know im gonna have some fun with it..

one thing... the clutch is a bit stiff, i was wonder is there and adjustment that i can do to make the pull easier, or do i have to spend 200 bucks for a hydraulic clutch...which is somthing i really dont want to do..

any help would be awsome
