I came across a 97 banshee for cheap and im going to look at it in a few days. what are some key things to look for when im looking at it? the guy says it runs great but is there anything i should specifically look for? the other thing is he says it has a small gas leak when it is in neutral at idle but no time else, any ideas what that could be? thanks

how cheap??

 

Sounds like the gas leak might be from the floats being set wrong. Thats an easy fix.
Make sure the bike shifts through all the gears
Make sure it starts with only a few kicks
Make sure the clutch is grabbing good
Check the axle and make sure its not sloppy

 

Sparkys got it covered. The floats are set wrong, they leak like crazy if they are set wrong, easy to fix.

 

Thanks for the replys guys. im glad its an easy fix. i talked him down to 600 bucks so i think its a good deal. thanks again

Holy crap dude.. you could part it out even if it didnt run and make money on it. Great buy man!

 

yea i was just lookin on ebay and i could easily make my money back with just a few parts. but it does run ill just have to fix that gas problem and it will be all good. and as you see i have a trailblazer so i definetly want to ride this thing for a while

You know just thinking, if you are going to have the carbs apart, it may not hurt to get a rebuild kit and change the gaskets and everything. They are like 30 bucks and would give you a peace of mind with good new parts. Just a thought, have fun with your new shee!!!

 

yea that sounds like a good idea, and thanks for all the advice

thats a real good buy!!
congrats on the SHEE!!!
