Are all banshees like this?
There are two things I find strange.
First, 2/3 of the bolts on the frame are stripped and second, I have to tighten the axle nuts after every ride!!
Is it normal, or should I not worry and keep going on this way? I don't mind doing maintenance on my shee, just that I don't want to break anything!

 

I don't know about the axle nuts, but as for the frame stripping. On my blaster I have stripped almost everything on the frame. I think it is just a yamaha thing.

 

I have to tighten the axel nuts every ride or two.
But I have yet to strip the bolts into the frame. With the exception of one of the bolts that holds the front bumper on.

I think the axle getting loose is a banshee thing though...everyone I know with a banshee has to tighten the axle all the time too.

 

i use loc tight

 

Should have bought a POLARIS!

Just kidding, see you on our next speed/mud adventure!

I doubt it's normal. I've had my banshee for 5 years, and i've tightened the axle nuts maybe 2-3 times a year. I haven't had anything strip on mine either. Neither has my dad and his is an 89.
