is it possible to wheelie while the banshee is stock? whats the highest gear any of you have done a wheelie on your banshee??

 

haha no offesne or anything but what are u thinking? of course you can wheelie a stock banshee. I've only put a K&N Filter in mine and Reeds and before that I could do them in any gear basily accept 6th which was quite a bit harder.

 

My friend cant wheelie his shee and its modded..

your friend isn't trying very hard or he has an extended swingarm.

 

My shee is all stock and its hard to keep the front end down when shifting... and thats STOCK tjw6981 your friend must not know how to ride cuz you dont even have to try, make a fast turn and hit the gas or shift to fast and up the front comes!!!!! i Have wheelied in 5th befour...


It is kinda hard to keep a wheelie for a long time with the crazy power band but you get better the more you ride it.....

 

lol. Mine wheelies 4th up olds. Its easier to hold a wheelie up a steep grade in my opinion on a shee.

 

Wheelie'ing isnt really anything about power, its about BALANCE. Of course you can wheelie a banshee whether its stock or not. You just have to know how to use the power to balance it. Then after you learn that, its all about shifting. I can ride a wheelie from 1st gear - 6th nearly all the way to top speed. Granted I have had my quad for almost 2 years and its taken me that long. Ive had my number of roll overs and bruised butt cheeks to know my limits. But keep practicing, and dont just go out there, floor it, and pop the clutch, thats definatly not the way to do it..

Nope no extended swing arm, and he even pops the clutch. I think its about his balance, i let him ride my rappy and I rode his shee. It seems to have no low end power but that thing will fly when that power band hits. My rappy literally bucked him off because he thought he had to pop the clutch to get it going. But he also jsut found his timing was -6 and is supposed to be +4 naybe thats the problem?

LOL! Maybe -6 timing could be a problem! It sounds like your friends shee is messed up. And your right, banshees have ABSOLUTLY no low end power. They are a top end bike. To get mine to wheelie, I have to get it to the power band in 1st gear, then pump the throttle, lift the front, and them Im away. I can shift from 1-6th gear. But you cant really do a slow wheelie on a banshee unless u got extreme balance.

U can get them to wheelie really good u just have to watch the powerband kicking in.
