WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Your motor. Don't let a dealer fix that. They are clueless on performance upgrades, aren't equipped for knowing how to tune it properly once changes are made and charge huge money.

Larry's Shee Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Where are you located Matt? NZ , I would guess New Zealand. Call them and tell them to stop everything . You could ship that fucker to U.S. and back for 3k What's the mechanics name? Ben Dover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigweav81 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 4000$, 20 minutes of ride time, you could start by finding the prick who flipped you over, and gave it to you raw! if your willing to take your time, and learn buy a clymers manual. disassemble it your self, and use a trusted site sponsor for all your upgrades, and services you need. you will learn what you need to know, and have the peace of mind of knowing how to properly maintain this machine. that will save you a lot of money as well, money to upgrade. im not windycityjohn, but theres always trinity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoronG Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 That's a good idea big but I don't have that much patience I already have yamaha pulling it apart an checking it I'm thinking wether to go through with yamaha dealer or find a engine rebuild shop ?

wayne_smith97 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 That's a good idea big but I don't have that much patience I already have yamaha pulling it apart an checking it I'm thinking wether to go through with yamaha dealer or find a engine rebuild shop ? Would they be better to tune it etc then yamaha . A lot of dealers now days don't have a lot of experience with two strokes. I would find a reputable 2 stroke shop and work with them. Surely someone in New Zealand works with performance 2 smokers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoronG Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Iv been looking online but there's no 2 stroke only shops there all car rebuilders ..but they say on there website they do go carts etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 define patience. as like you get frustrated easily, don't have the time, don't want to wait? paying an ass load of money to take it to the stealer ship everytime its not running right, or needs something fixed will eventually cause you to lose your patience! its not as time consuming as you think, once you pay them to do it, and do it yourself, you will more then likely lose your patience, for knowing you paid them a god awful amount of money for something that's not that hard. as far as having to wait, its worth having some pros who know whats up, hook you up with exactly what you need for what you want. from my experience stealer ships are one hell of a wait, the longer they take the more they make. a lot of these experienced bhq guys will tell you if your not willing to learn about your banshee to choose a different bike. so call that dealership, tell them your coming to pick your banshee up, thanks for nothing they can rob someone else of hard earned money, get a clymers manual, get your tools out, and prepare to get them hands greasy.....jmo, and maybe a go kart shop before trinity lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoronG Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm ringing yamaha up at 2 o clock to see how much they price it out to be ,but I might just be picking up my banshee after reading that..I'm willing to learn an I am getin a manual but I know nothing about how the engines works an stuff so I would be learning from scratch ..that's what's stopping me from picking it up is I know nothing about how to work on a bike let alone a banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
