05 Shee with rebuild questions?

[2StrokeCraze]

Ok I have a chance to go get a beautiful 2005 Banshee tommorow for a really good price, great condition, all stock. Guy said he got it from a friend, and so when he bought it he had the motor rebuilt, top and bottom..kinda hesitant about that. Dont kno why he would went into the bottom end, he said it wasnt blew up or anything, he just figured it needed rebuilding. I just know you dont mess with the bottom end unless somethings wrong?? Wanted someones opinion, are rebuilt motors as reliable and strong as factory?? It was built by a professional cycle shop with all OEM Yamaha parts. Would anyone be hesitant on getting this Shee? Thanks for the input!

If it was rebuilt correctly with OEM or proven aftermarket parts it should be just as reliable if not more so then a brand new one. Reliability comes from proper maintenance as well. I would want to know what parts were replaced and what parts were reused. Is the crank new? Are the bearings in the tranny new? New pistons or just new rings?

 

If it is a good deal as far as price you can afford to upgrade the motor if something fails.
