I know in the past when I am riding the Raptor it sure looks like those Banshee riders are having fun.

Although I have never had a banshee it would seem like they would not be that hard to maintain in stock form going by the two stroke dirt bikes I have had in the past.

The main thing would be to keep the air filter clean, correct feul mixture, keep the chain adjusted and a new set of plugs ever so often and you should get hours or trouble free fun.

Yeah.. any quad in stock form is usally fairly easy to maintian.. but.. most shees arent stock [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i talk to people that say they rebuild at least usually once a year if not 3 or 4 times.. i love the shee.. but it doesnt cut it for trails its annoying trying to keep that power when ur going through tight steep trails(without buring out the clutch)

I guess 4x4 trail you would be right all the trails we ride are either maintianed atv trail or there wide flat and smooth. So I can really let it rip. However I did ride Hatefield and McCoy last week and it is pretty rocky and it wasn't too bad. I still was going pretty good. It's jsut irritating hearing people say they suck on trial. I love the powerband on the trails. However the thumb throttle is a lil tireing. But it sitts really low compared to the raptor so i like that alot because i need less body lean

Right.. but give us the benefit of the doubt the raptor is better for close nit trails and the she is king of the dunes.. and flat land..

This is the most irritaiting comment ever no shee should need built this much. If so they dont know how to jet. You should get a good 3 or 4 years. I have seen MANY get 6 or more years but 1 year is worng!!!

Yeah maybe 4-6 years on a stock shee that is ridden only 4-6 times throught 4-6 years..my buddy has a 04 shee he has had it sense spring and he put t-5 pipes and k/n's before its first treck out.. and he has a 280 main jet.. it runs perfectly but he/like me rides alot and he has rebuilt once already.

All you do is check the compression. If it falls 10 psi rebuild. I'm on 1 year and still perfect compression. I guess I got one of the special ones
