ok im gonna get a banshee i think or a 250r i love the 2 strokes im 13 and been riding most my life ride my dads kx500 a good bit i know im not gonna be able to handle the banshee to the fullest but im just conserned its gonna drain gas like hell any way of making it better on gas? other then not ridin fast and hard?

any tips appreciated

 

Remove the engine and pull it with a Donkey.

 

lol do you think a single carb might work better? if i get a single what size should i get?

 

lol I don't know, but if you think about it, the Banshee engine needs the same amount of fuel no matter how many carbs you have. It's not like dual carbs are wasting a lot of fuel. Plus, how much fuel can you buy for what a single carb costs?

 

well i dont know about making it better on gas but ive heard alot of complaints on the tank being to small. people say that you go through tank after tank in a single days riding and it doesnt hold enough, so it feels like it drinks more then it really is. you might have to consider that the banshee wont get better fuel mileage. my blaster got poor fuel milage and it was single cylinder so the banshee will drink it but poor fuel mileage comes with the twin 2 stroke package...

 

It sucks, but if you leave the engine bone stock it will get better fuel milage than a modded one will. To get max fuel economy, don't even add a pipe or filter to it.

 

You can alway get a dessert tank.

 

do the "dessert tanks" taste good?

 

OK DESERT tank D-E-S-E-R-T Ok but I don't think plastic tastes good

 

get the 40 mm lectron powerjet(you have to get the powerjet because its for a two stroke) .I have this carb and it doesnt use as much gas and it gives it more low end. im 14 and i ride a 86 atc 250r(baddest trike out there) and a banshee that has all kinds of mods. and if you ride a kx 500 you can handle both bike. get the banshee add some goodies and there you go, you have a fast four wheeler. not many people have the single carb, but i do. get the lectron and not any other brand. the single carb has no jets either all you have to do is turn the metering rod and test it. put some 2 stage reeds on it too it really makes a difference. i am a mehanic so i do all of my own rebuilds and what not so i can keep all my bikes up.

i can give you a hint on the mods to get too if the shee you want doesnt already have some

-2 stage boyesen power reeds
-stage IV HEAD WITH 20 CC DOMES
-mines bored but dont do that until you have too
-fmf fattys with powercore 2 silencers
-k&n air filter
-new clutch
banshee's are really cheap too. mine had all these mods and more and i only paid $1650 for it. hope you have fun with your shee.
what riding are you doing any way because with these mods it is really good on trails especially with the 40 mm single carb.
