Pics? Price? I sold my 2005 yfz and bought my banshee and couldn't be happier If you get that banshee, you will atleast need 50/50 race fuel at that compression IMO.

You can get new domes for about $65 for the set. As long as the head with accept the standard pd domes. Just depends on the brand on the head, but most accept them.

Its a power head and the dome cc runs from 15-22 cc, but for the noise in the clutch, i know its hard to determin whats wrong or if its normal, but do the banshees clutches usually make noise?

rjdgriff Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 My clutch never makes noise... You may need to put a new basket and inner and outer plates in it... And if you do that go with the billit basket, pricy but worth it... Also I had a problem once with my idler gear. It came loose and was smacking my basket... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzypickles Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I had a fully built national pro class MX quad based off a 250R with a YZF426 motor and it had around $15k invested. I sold it and bought my banshee and I love the Banshee sooo much more. Now, for the clutch sound, it is extremely common for you to hear a tinging sound from the clutch side, almost like dropping a penny, like a metallic rattling. Thats the O-ring in the kick start lever going out and the kick start rattling. its very common and my Banshee does it. If he fires it up and it makes the metallic rattling sound from the clutch side, grasp the kick start firmly and see if the sound stops.... thats usually the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzypickles Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks for the info guys sounds really helpful, any other words of wisdom lol Well, in general whenever looking at a quad, lift up the back end and check for wobbling in the axle, if so, it needs bearings/seals. Also check the front end. Look for bends or kinks in the frame anywhere... also look and make sure the bars aren't bent. Bent handlebars=been in a rollover crash. just general stuff.
