My first banshee 05 se build


Recommended Posts

What's happening guys. I have always wanted a banshee since I had the opportunity to ride one when I was 16 in 2002! I'm getting a little old and chubby for the mx bike so I sold my MINT YZ250 last week and grabbed a 2005 bone stock clean original un opened motor bike for 3,000$ on consignment at a Yamaha shop in northern Wi. It has brand new hole shots on it too which I considered a plus... They have the fuzzies on em still! I don't get out much due to work and life but I'm a mod freak and a gear head. I have a 8 second gtr and a 69c10 short Box pickup. I can't leave anything alone but I wanted to start with a canvas that wasn't clapped out. The original owner has 15 quads and never rode this bike much so I figured it was the perfect candidate.

 

I needed a seat cover because this one had a cigarette burn in it :( so I bought a new black gripper.

I know suspension is everything so I supported a vendor and got the stage 3 elka setup for 975 $ on special

I found a set of new in box vforce reeds on Craigslist for $100 so far and when I went there to grab those I bought a decent set of used fmf fattys for 200$ with silencers!

 

I mostly trail ride so I figured this pipes shouldn't be bad for the $ and if not they should bring 200$

 

I need to get jets. Have any suggestions ? I also want to grab another set of wheels and am looking at a new front bumper mine is mint but I'm still was thinking about an alba to preserve the stocker and I want to powder coat it to match the wheels in prismatic powders illusion purple or glowing yellow ? Does anyone have pics of the alba installed? The bike is also on the original chain and sprockets. That will be replaced before I ride it. What's the hot gearing setup for a stock motor ? Who's makes a solid chain Renthal? Regina? Did?

 

Any suggestions appreciated. Can't wait to get this thing going

 

Any other mods you suggest ? Tors delete? Bars? Ect....

 

Thanks pics coming asaP!

Duncan bumper only.

Which model v force?

I had good luck with Regina. I just got an EK. We'll see how it goes.

Stock gearing is plenty. Or up 1 up front.

Personally not a fan of elka. 99% of people here (myself included) won't notice a difference really between some. But there are better options. None for that price tho.
