what would it take to make a banshee (parts and money wise) ready for xc. im thinking i would need to get way more low end out of it. would it be worth it to put money into a banshee to set it up for xc. i was looking to sell my warrior and buy a used z400 but i have seen alot of used banshees for cheap. would i be better of using a 4 stroke than a 2.

 

I would say it would would probably be easier and chepaer maybe to get the z400 or maybe a used raptor but making the banshee xc ready wopuld be fun.....For more low end you could do something like a dynoport 2into 1 pipe,single carburator(from trinity)some higher compression pistons and porting.......Some new tires,skid plates,and handlebars,and top it off with some new shocks and maybe a new axle!Just some ideas....

 

mx porting$250, trinity 2into1 carb kit$550(w/carb), dynoport 2into1 pipes$500, mill and deck the head$60, lower the front sprocket a couple sizes$40, ohlins front shocks$575, wide a-arms$475, etc etc... money wil either make you or break you remember that

 

A banshee would be more unique, and Im guessing that a well set up banshee could smoke a z400, maybe, don't yell at me if im wrong! just what i think.

 

why would i need wider a arms for xc. and i would get less pricely shocks like works because i would be in the begginner class. i not looking for the very best stuff just the good enough stuff. thanks for your reply though
