buying banshee...selling warrior. good idea bad idea? pros cons..i dont like the idea of putting a new piston and rings in the banshee every year like i have to do on my 125...what do u guys think?

 

i think it's a good trade....just the obvious is of concern imo
if it's put together right and maintained carefully you shouldn't have a problem
my top end has been on my 2 stroke for about 5 years, always mixed 32:1 with yamalube and hasn't had a single problem ever...everything is still fine except my base gesket finally started to leak a few weeks ago

 

what sup guy, i have a 98 banshee with a tirnity stage 3 on it. the motor is now 4 years old and i have ye to rebuild it. I run the bike very very hard. We race down at st. joe state park in missouri. Also i go to benton mo and race on the 8th mile drag strip, to it gets ran pretty hard. But like u said pimp if u keep up on the bike it will last u along time.

 

that would be a LARGE step up!

 

thanks guys

 

you could handle it. after you get used to it you'll want it to go faster. i mastered my banshee in like a month. if you have a 125 you prolly no basic maintaince and it won't blow up as fast as a high revving 2-stroke dirtbike engine. have fun...

 

buy the shee won't be dissapointed you will not have to change piston rings every year I have a friend that has had his for 3 years and never have yet and and it starts every kick and he checked the pressure in the chamber and it was the same as was in my 2002 new. Keep the filter clean thats the trick. If you do change the piston rings it's about a $150 and a fast 1 hour job after cleaning the walls up

 

Mine was on its original pistons till last year, you should be happy with the trade, A good tip to not foul plugs is use Golden Spectro oil, also, if your a big trailrider, or want some extra traction, get a -2 swingarm on her, i heard they work wonders.

 

thats for the feedback..lol i might just buy one
