Im gonna get a shee pretty soon, and i was just wondering about any problems or just little annoying things you guys have had with yours. also, have you often had to replace parts or had anything break or fail?

 

Well Johnny I bought mine from a guy and I guess it went threw He!! but it blew up after about 3 mths. But like i said it was used and no telling what was done to it.. I will let you know in the long run how it fairs out. It runs dang good now w/ new parts. I hear you have to replace the pistons and stuff like every year or two but not for sure, havent had mine that long.... But like i say its a rush when its running right... I still get off mine shaking sometimes it so FAST.

 

i think the biggest pain on mine is mixing fuel but thats it i havent had any problems

 

With proper maintenance, you should be able to run for years on a set of pistons. IN fact, my friends 95 just went into the shop for the first time for a rebuild. Not because he needed it, but a mouse ate his harness, so he figured he get it done while there. 8 years on the stock pistons...

I just had mine(used 97') replaced and bored up, almost 7 years on stock ones. and the only real annoying thing on a banshee is that the kickstart rattles, but once you let the power loose, you dont hear it.

 

is the rattling k-start a normal thing or is it maybe just your bike?

 

mine rattles to

 

is there any way to fix that? would replacing it with an aluminum aftermarket one help at all?

 

also, i know 305's shee is older, like a 97 (right?), and i dont know if your shee is new or used Slapahobanshee, but this could be a result of years of use, everything loosening up over time. couldnt it? or do you know if a stock shee will do the same thing?

 

mines not that old its a 01 its runs strong with no problems
