I'm looking for a donor quad for another engine, and I've seen that the Banshee rides rougher than the Honda's and Suzuki's. Is this true, and can it be made to ride smoother?

 

This is probably due to the horribly outdated suspension and shocks. Ive never ridden a 400ex or a Z400, but I can assume they are more smooth. and yes, the ride can be made smoother with aftermarket shocks and possibly a-arms. The banshee frame is a darn good platform for another engine because its simple and theres alot of them out there, what are u looking to put into it?

The engine I want to put in it is a Yamaha TDM 850. It is a water cooled twin with a 270 degree crank, they put them in their middleweight sportbikes. I know there aren't many out there, but I'll have to be patient. I haven't seen anyone selling a Banshee frame out here, but that engine should fit in there nicely.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
