1000rrstunna Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) 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!

Larry's Shee Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Boost bottle removal is best place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camp0429 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I got an EK chain and JT sprocket set over last winter, quite a few hours on since then and only adjusted once shortly after I put them one. Been great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
