i recently bought a banshee from a friend i wanted to know what the average top speed is stock. my friend said it was 78 mph but i dont think that is right.

 

prolly is around 78 maybe 80 or so we have a stock banshee also

 

68-74mph

 

65-73 depending on the conditions.

 

Yeah, 80 is a little high for a stock Shee, considering that the jetting is good for your altitude, and you dont live on top of pikes peak, then somewhere in the neighborhood of 68-74.

 

Completely bone stock I hit 72 on mine as measured with a GPS. Pipes/jetting/K&N put it up to 82, higher gearing nudged it up to 84... All on pavement with a GPS. Not sure what it goes now maybe 85/86 tops.

 

When My Banshee was stock it would do 74 MPH but now I cant get it out of 3rd gear with it Fishtailing on me.

 

Its harder for a factory to dial in a 2 stroke so a stock banshee is usally in the low 70's. Around 70 or 71. But in higher elevation 65-68 are possible. However once you dial in the jetting your at 73-74, then play around with the aftermarket and skies the limit.

Did anyone ever put the PIAA lights on the banshee. Im thinking of doing that.

 

Stock... 72-74mph

However, I have talked to a lot of people who have stock Banshee's that go 100mph...one guy even has one that goes 130mph.

Geez, some of the stories that you hear.

My dad put on PIAA lights on his Banshee he likes them. He bought them for a 24h ice race that him and sum other people reace in. He won last year and thats where they gained on a lot of people was in the dark so the lights worked great. He has two stationary and one one the handlebars.
