Don't Buy the 2001 under no circumstances!!!!!!I lost second gear today on mine just trail riding,if Yamaha had of done the right thing they would have recalled these 2001 models and fixed their junk trannys.I personally will go with a different brand next time i plop down $6500.Good luck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

yeah Martian, whats up? what kinda mods you have? i am curious....i bot 01 new and havent had a prob, and the first i have to do is back it out of a metal shed.....

if you have a chance, check POWROLL website. they have developed a list of the perfect parts to update yer trans, and they're all factory parts. remember, these are the guys who nitrous, big bore, and turbo these critters....
I dont think thet sell them, but they'll give you the number s free. a great deal.

they do have a point my dads 01 has had no problems

 

LoL. I am keeping my Banshee, and I am going to build it, but I want to get a Raptor as an everyday rider, and for my gf when we are at the dunes, because she is afraid to really get on the Banshee hard.

Like I said, I am going to pick up one of the 03's that I found. Thanks guys for the info.

its a totaly different power tho lots of bottom
ttyl

 

Yea, I grew up riding 4 strokes. Well, except for dirtbikes, my banshee is the 1st 2stroke quad I have owned. Its a blast to ride, but its just soo damn "finicky"!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I mostly blame my problems I am having with my bike on the previous owner, I have found more than a few things he didnt do right. I will be tearing into it this week, and will hopefully have it back up and running by this coming weekend.
