I am almost certain I'm going to sell my warrior for a shee in the spring. I'v came up with lots of questions about the banshee:
I'v had a few machines, can I handle the Banshee?
Is the banshee's turning radius tight enough for trail and forest riding?
Does it powerslide well?
Do shees and snow mix?
Water crossing/skipping:is it possible with stock tires
Banshee TOP SPEED? my friend said almost 100mph on stock, i didnt believe him, but atvconnection says top speed 68mph, then I heard 72mph and now im all confused.
My riding conditions:forest, dirt road riding, trails, open feilds ect
What are the *cheapest* mods for a banshee? Including k&n filter, pipe, jetting, and all the main things somebody would do to a banshee, but i dont want to bore it out or anything, i mean, i dont want to tear it apart, just out of engine parts like filters and pipes and jetting, give me the name and price*canadian*.
What are the best aftermarket suspention?
For my riding(not really jumping, pretty easy, hillclimbs, some drags down dirt roads, trails)should I make the shox harder or softer?
Even with stock setup is the banshee powerful and fast compared to a warrior that i have right now? I might leave it all stock if I think its powerful enough and fast enough. my warrior didnt go too fast, i hardly ever go its top speed either. As long as it atleast goes 60mph+ which im sure it does
Should I consider something else?
I want arm ripping power, is that standard with a shee?
last question:what are your comments about the shee, odd's and ends!

You don't need a banshee if your stupid enough to believe someone who told u it could do 100mph stock. Go buy a damn honda, u won't kill yourself on that.
