if you take proper care of it then you wont have to rebuild it any more then any other bike. You will only get out of it what you put into it. If you take good care of it and service it when things go wrong then you will get a long time out of the top end.

Get the banshee. It is a reliable machine and Guys have gone yrs without a rebuild. Take care of it and it will take care of you.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. If you get one this is all you need to do to be scremin' fast. Change the pipes to toomey T-5's, 21cc Noss head, V-force reed kit and I can tell you it will be real hard to beat. Now you don't have to do all this at once. Biggest improvements will be the toomey t-5's. Have fun!!!!! PM me if you need any help as I would be happy to help you out. Your banshee will be a FOUR STROKES NIGHTMARE.

If you use a good quality oil you shouldnt have to rebuild all that often maybe every 6-7 years. The banshee is an awsome quad. And very reliable. plus the rebuilds arent very hard. on my first rebuild it only took me three hours.

If ya want to be fast,get the Banshee.I've seen em' go 4 years without a rebuild.I use Castor 927 in all my quads and reccomend it to everyone.You will be a 4-strokes worst nightmare.There are unlimited things you can do with it.Pipes are first,followed by portwork and whatever else you can spend money on.If ya keep the air filter clean,use proper oil and simply take the time to take care of it,you'll never ride another quad.

I had my 01' for three years, had a FMF gnarleys, K&N filter and Pro-design intake, always ran Torco premix and tranny oil. I rode it pretty hard winter and summer, never had a problem, if i would have kept it i would have rebuilt it over the summer. Get the two-stroke, four-strokes suck, Oh wait i just brought one home SON OF A!

You need to be careful with the oil and gas you put in your bike and that is what mass up your bike most of the time.

Good luck
