Yeah!... But at least you don't smell like a burnt down yama-lube factory after riding a Raptor.

(That 2-stoke smell turns the babes off at the local OHV recreational area bar)

Someone needs to take a whiff of the exhaust of a two stroke that is running some castor 927. I'd say it smells better than the race gas you raptor guys have to run in order to be fast. mmmmmm, I think I'm going to start up my shee now just to smell the castor burning. That stuff smells so good that I run it in my briggs and straton push mower. It makes mowing the yard that much easier.

The banshee isnt my cup of tea either. They are terrible on the ice.

I wouldnt mind having one to set up for drags and duning though...

Ya..I agree...The only thing I would do though is change the plastic on it to the Raptor style.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

ok I'll admit it, raptors are handsome and banshee's are hardley attractive in stock form. throw on some billet, a set of fullbores, and some big *** chrome pipes and you have a sweet looking quad.

But...........it's so much cooler to line up with a Raptor and put a spanking on a heavily modded shee leaving them shaking their heads. If you lose on the Raptor no big deal......it's to be expected right? I just love it. Glad I didn't sell out, and buy a shee......yet![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Hey any of you guys running a heavier rod notice engine vibration? I have heard you get some when you go to a heavier rod than stock in a Raptor.

I didnt notice it, but I did have my crank balanced with the rod and piston installed. Actually, it runs smoother.
