Hey I have just purchased me a banshee not to long ago and was wondering how
reliable are they. Some of my friends say that for them to last you have to hold
the gas down all the time. All I do is trailride and ride in big fields. Will this affect
how reliable the banshee is.Thanks,
Chris

 

giving this one a bump because i want to know the answer to this to..

 

well for banshee aint the kinda quad u particualarily want for trailriding and fields shoulda gottn a warrior...

 

no he shouldn't of. warriors supspension and handling suck and there slow. neways, banshee's don't have to be held wide open all off the time. do proper maintnaice they will last a really long time.

 

its a 2 stroke, so what does that tell you?

 

I ride my shee hard as hell and it always starts everytime.... But they go through top ends like mad thats about the only down side to them... Just keep the trans oil changed and clean the carbs and air filter and you will be fine..

 

thats its fast..

 

There is a reason why they only come with a 30 day warranty. I would guess that they are only as reliable as the person maintaining them.

 

O yeah when riding trails try to keep your speed up so it dont over heat, If i were you get some redline water wetter it helps a bunch... One more thing if you drive around at low rpms you can foul your plugs, if there is no room for speed pull in the clutch and rev it a bit and you will be fine trust me there one of the best 2 strokes out there yamaha did their homework on that 350...

 

Just because its a 2 stroke doesnt mean its not reliable my old 98rm125 would beat brand new 125's and ran twice as good as my friends 01 yz426f it depends if your good at taking care of your machine it will last forever
