I gotta dis agree with you. What happened with my banshee was purely my fault by having an air leak and not noticing it/ fixing it. So I over heated, melted the piston and seized the left cylinder. For the past 1.5 years, my banshee has been my most reliable atv ive had, including dirtbikes. Anything that has ever gone wrong has been MY fault, definately not the quads fault. And banshees have the reputation of getting the crap kicked out of them anyways. I had a silicone home made head gasket with 130 lbs of compression with no "blowing". 2 stroke dirtbikes blow because of lots of compression, while a banshee has 6.5 : 1 compression. They die because of operator misuse or not taking care of it.

ANYWAYS, A banshee is obviously too much quad for this kid. Get a warrior, they are cool.

Well, Xx, excuse me for chewing you out before, although i cant say you dont deserve a little of it. I reread your other thread and I guess last time I missed the part where you said you were on the back, which changes things a little. I still must assume you were not wearing a helmet, and the fact that you were riding on the back is still kinda stupid. a bike that small isnt meant for 2, plus it puts you in a position to have complete trust in the driver, which i cant say much about, not knowing your friend. Obviously though, the driver isnt a very careful person either. First of all, most people who have some respect for their bike, their safety, and their friends safety wouldnt ride 2-up on a blaster anyway. Second of all, even though you werent driving, the fact that the driver almost got you in a wreck 2 times gives me somewhat of an idea about his driving ability. Basically, if i were you, i wouldnt have gotten on the back of that bike in the first place. Also, if youre seriously considering getting a quad, i would ask your friend if you can ride his blaster a couple times. Have him show you how to ride it, and dont ride it without a helmet. Dont underestimate it either. If you think its fast with 2 people on it, its a lot faster with only one. Just be careful and ride it (safely) a few times before you jump to conclusions about what you want.

Nobody on this forum is trying to be mean to you, we just dont want to see you or anybody else get hurt. (and we dont like people contributing to the lawsuits that may keep us from riding someday) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Dont feel bad, just try to be safe when you ride, thats all we're really asking.
