ckylesworld1 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I have been looking for a stock banshee (motor beefed up is fine) I just like the look and stance of the original. Anyway I found a complete 99 that appears to not have been ridden much. Is it a guarantee it will need rebuilt just by being old or how can I tell?

guns4children Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Do a compression test on it. They'll let you know what kinda shape the top end it's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckylesworld1 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I haven't had a banshee in 10 yes and have forgotten a lot. What number would be acceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'm pretty sure it's around 125-120 stock. I don't know where your at but elevation may play a role in your numbers as well. This will probably not be the common view but as long as the cylinders both read the same or a very small difference I would run them if they were over a hundred PSI.

ckylesworld1 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Thank you. I'm between 500-900 ft and it also has FMF pipes and silencers. Only aftermarket parts it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckylesworld1 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) at 900ft, 120psi would be what you want. 110psi would be acceptable. 100psi is looking to need a rebuild. I personally would not let a low compression number (on both pistons) deter from buying. I would use that as a reason to drop $500+ off the asking price. Thank you for the info. I know its overpriced but im pretty picky and cant decide if I should get it or not. I know i have seen people get running bikes for $1500 etc but where I live there arent many around and what are around are already junked out or modded to death. I like the clean stock look and this one from what I can see looks pretty good but people on here are very knowledgeable and can spot stuff i never could. He wants 3800. (like i said i know thats high) here are some pics. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNW8yOg8xyfSbWU_fMRmpD8izLXohfIeVzypk9b https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipM4MdcKjvAB9ju4th2LzRgWBCqojpHxI6I-QRlP https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMfjt9N14QhyVtY44rGbmsBMwmR7irbHfEqyOrQ https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMJJSc0vwUyBAKeeQz78pkLf9BZdUih24egdssQ https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipPybRsDoStDeZUdgVBVbEa7M0Gka4CB3aaMgbCz Edited April 24, 2017 by ckylesworld1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is I had the exact same graphics on a j arm over 12 yrs ago. Nostalgia to me. I think im going to get it, if it runs good. Going tomorrow or wednesday to get it.
