Default Banshee woods setup

How and what do i need to set up a banshee for tight woods riding? I really want to get a banshee but i need it to be able to run in the woods and lug around somewhat. Also how much woudl the woods set up cost?

that would b kinda hard.. 2 strokes r not made for woods and its high powerband wont help either in the lower gears that u will b using..

My banshee does great in the woods, i usually ride it right above the powerband and when it does get below it, it actually dont have any trouble getting its power built back up, and u can see what i have done it my sign.

Now can you just kinda cruise around at like 5mph or do u have to constantly be on the throttle? Where is the powerband on a banshee any way like what rpm or gear does it hit? Im new to two strokes and dont know much about them but id really like to get a banshee just seems like it would be unique to see one in the woods.

ALL YA NEED TO DO IS DROP THE FRONT SPROKET TOOTH TO A 12 TOOTH AND THE BACK UP TO A 40 TOOTH THAT WILL HELP KEEP THE POWER DIALED IN . I see banshees all the time were i ride lugging around and ive yet to see one broke down or have troubles

personally i think if you didnt start out with a 2-stroke you should stay with the four stroke. i think that it would just be easier to get faster four stroke with more power than figure out a totally different machine. I had the chance to get a raptor but didnt like the slower revying, plus it was to heavy compared to my blaster as dumb as i might be sounding right now.

a 15 tooth front sprocket would give less low end power. well i think isnt the banshee front sprocket 14 tooth. you have to go down for more power less speed. i may be tottaly wrong but i dont think so
