Warrior has a supertrapp pipe on it and banshee stock.We wrer even off the line and then i pulled him by about 3quad lengths which surprised me. i then asked my friend to drive the banshee and i would ride my z. we lined them up both machines stock Me 180 puonds my friend 140 pounds. I pulled the banshee in every single gear. the z really suprised me becuse i thught they were alot faster than that. i was actually going to get a banshee before the z but im glad i got the z becuase it pulls from bottom to top, without a dely in low rpm power the banshee didnt want to pull a wheely like my z does. me and my friend have been riding for about 7yrs. Are banshees overrated or what.

I didnt think that io could beat that banshee but i did. my z and the banshee are both stock. I drove the banshee myself and it didnt feel as fast and even the guy drove my z and said the z felt faster. i beat that banshee fair and square. you guys dont have to believe me. but i did.

thet banshee was majorly screwed it could have been sumthing as simple as jets
I drove one that was for sale that I knew was jeeted for winter riding and it was slower
than an 400 ex and the shee had pipes and filters but it was just because of the jetting

Wrong jetting makes a huge difference. When I first got my shee I bought pipes and a 15th Front sproket and had some moron shop jet my bike. I got it back and it ran ok but when I hit 5-6 it would bog and I could bearly pull those gears. So I redid all of the jetting when I was done it was a TOTALLY different bike. There is LOADS of HP to be gained and LOST in jetting. Plus Stock bikes come jetted rich from the factory. So I would lead to jetting.
