We were having this party yesterday and my friend, who has a 99 Warrior, was riding my 99 Banshee while my brother in law was riding my friends Warrior. My Banshee has a twist throttle that my friend is not used to and when he went over a 2 foot jump the power kicked in and the Banshee went for the clouds. I wasn't there but it seems that it landed on the grab bar then flipped over and landed on the left front wheel damaging the upper "A" arm and who knows what else. I need to know where to get a new "A" arm and what can I do about the frame in the back where it is bent up from the grab bar hitting the ground. I've only had the quad for a week, and I'm looking forward to riding it this summer.

p.s. my friend is OK. and he swore he'd never ride another Banshee!

hey your best bet is to check dirtwheels, you can get aftermarket or oem stock parts relatively cheap.

That's what I did, crashed and bought an ATV Racing +2+1 front end. Definately worth it.
Otherwise just find some used stuff.

Ya i'd go with the other people replying here....aftermarket would be good.(When ever something is broken on my atv I take it to a dealer that repairs atv's, they can always find parts for my quad, you should do that)

If I were you i'd make my friend pay for the repairs.

I had the same kind of problem.
A friend crashed my snowmobile and damaged a tree with the left side of my sled. Nothing was left OK (though tree!) but I didn't buy anything. Just a bit of welding and lots of patience.
That's where it's wrong, it took us some time to get everything fixed. If you have lots of free time, you may be able to do it yourself.
It's just to say that you don't have to buy new stuff (even aftermarket), everything can be repaired.
