coops03shee Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hello everyone, I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. New owner of a 03' Banshee. A little about the quad......motor has an ebay 370 big bore kit with a couple hrs on it, that's what the seller told me, a Hot Rods stock stroke crank kit, and a Trinity 2 into 1 carb set-up. He had the motor done by a bike shop. The motor does sound nice and tight, not really concerned with it though since it will get a new motor. Initial thought is a 421 engine with twin carb in the future. The quad is pretty stock otherwise and in decent shape. It is exactly what I was looking for since this is gonna be a complete tear down and resto. project for me. About me.......been a little over 20 yrs since I've been on a 2 stroke quad.........DAMN did I miss that smell!!!! Been riding a KFX 450r for about a yr now and completely turned that into a full on mx quad from the bone stock state I bought it in. I love the KFX but the itch to finally own a 2 stroke couldn't be squashed, I HAD to own one!!! Needless to say, with my long absence from anything 2 stroke, my learning curve is gonna be steep. Been doing a lot of reading on the forum here already and trying to get the bare bones of some things down before I really proceed with anything on the Banshee. I'm in the middle of building the motor for my KFX right now, so the Banshee is a back burner project. Probably a good thing as this will give me time to get more familiar with the workings of the Banshee. This site and forum is hands down the biggest wealth of information that I've found!!! There are sooo many good reads thread wise about tuning and motor work it's damn near to much to take in at one time lol. Anyway, that's the scoop for now on things. As I begin the process of redoing the shee I will be posting things up and asking questions along the way. I look forward to adding to a discussion when I gain the knowledge and can contribute in a decent manner. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coops03shee Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 gusto, Thanks for the welcome back to 2 stroke heaven! :-) DDQ, LMAO!!! I had to read that a couple of times to make sure my eyes weren't fucked up! To answer your question, never maxed on squat, work out with 6 cookies per side though, bench I was at 375, haven't maxed out in ages though, I've only done clean and jerks, never maxed out there. I hope those numbers are sufficient for memebership to the club lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coops03shee Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 rjdgriff, I'm finding out really quick from other threads and posts things are pretty loose on this forum LMAO!!! I'll give a person their fair shot to prove themselves a cool person or a douche bag. I always welcome constructive feedback, criticism, and input from folks and treat people with the same respect that I'm treated with. I appreciate the reply to the post though, the loose nature on this forum cracks me up!!! Thanks, Tony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coops03shee Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hello again Canada. Yes, I ended up with a Banshee. After looking at the parts availability or lack there of for the Honda things got a lot easier in the decision, helps I got a good deal on the Banshee as well! Glad to see a familiar face on here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Of course I will. Correction, Hobart will do the welding. DDQ will simply master the controls. Welcome to the BHQ coops03! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
