Come on shee owners I need some replies. How does it jump, wheely, and whats the basic maintenance going to be like,and whats the power range like ( strong bottom, mid or top? ) Ill be riding with two blasters, and maybe a Predator in a gravel pit, but I wont want any mods right away, maybe some shiny stuff like chrome or something [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Do you guys think I should buy one, if I find it under 2200 (all I have now)
and is ther anything I should look out for on it.?.?.?

Later,

Mark

 

whellies are not as easy as a four stroke, because of the lack of bottom end torque. But I have fun pulling wheelies, just have to be in the right part of the powerband.

The banshee is a top end screamer, it loves to be revved.

I would try to find one that has pipes on it already, as they are the biggest bang for the buck mod.

As for maintenance, it is not any more then any other machine. You premix the fuel and oil, so no injector to worry about like the blaster. Change the tranny fluid periodically, lube the chain every ride, and let her rip.

If a banshee is jetted correctly, you should not foul plugs. My banshee is about 9 months old and has never fouled a plug.

I would look over a used one really carefully, check all over the frame for cracks or any signs of abuse. Of course you want to ride it and see how it shifts, and how the engine sounds and feels. I would probably take a compression tester and check the compression, it will give you an idea of how the top end is.

Hope that helps

Thanks Bat, Would any of you take a chance on a used one, like whats the oldest you would go.

Thanks for any more replies,

Mark

 

Nothing wrong with buying used. Do a compression check, ride it and run it through the gears and just check the stuff wou would on any other quad.

 

I would buy used, I didnt, but I would. I got pretty good deals on new ones, so went that route.

Like wyo said just check it over.

Anybody else, I also need to to know how it jumps, if anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks.

Come on you guys, Im having a hard time keeping this post up-top.

 

Well I just bought a 2000 with T5's and it was in really good shape. I think that if you find the right person that owned it that there is no problem with buying a used one. Some people take care of things and some do not. As for jumping they are light and handle nice in the air but could use some better shocks and a arms if you plan on doing any really big jumping. The power band is way strong when it hits but with the T5's the bottom end is kinda week but the mid and top end screems, and it is easy to wheelie when you get used to how the power comes on. Good luck.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Thanks ds finally a reply[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] well if anyyyyyyyyyone else out there somewhere has anything else to say (good or bad about the shee) you are very welcome to reply because Im definatly, positivly, absolutly, sure Im going to get the banshee.

Later,

Mark
