christoph.tamz Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 Let's hear your stories of when you bought your shee and what other people did that's just dumb. I'll start with mine. It's an 01 and bought it not running. Well. It took me 5 minutes to figure this out. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote
ZillaFreak Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 Bought a fresh rebuilt banshee for $500, guy couldn't get it started. Five minute after getting it home, it was running. The guy put the wrong electric dick into the wrong electric hole for the key. Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 Bought one for 550. Guy thought top end was bad and took head off. Bike wouldn’t start. After going though the bike the stator wire was broke. Put top end back on and threw my spare stator I had in. Bike fired right up no prob. Jetted accordingly and put a spare coil on. Bike ran mint. That was nice flip made over 1k Quote
BlackandYellowBanshee Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 Buddy gave me his banshee. Wouldn’t run. Fuel line from the petcock was running uphill over the boost bottle. Carbs weren’t getting fuel. Sold it for $1000 three days after he gave it to me. I wish I had more friends like him. Quote
christoph.tamz Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Posted April 18, 2018 Gotta love dumb people. I bought it with those plugs like that and the guy swore it ran. I said How? Your mechanic sucks. Needless to say I bought the right stator from rm. I paid 3 grand for mine with a shit ton of work done to it. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote
VegasJeff Posted April 19, 2018 Report Posted April 19, 2018 I bought a banshee from a guy because the oil was mixing with the coolant and I knew it was the water pump seal. So he offered me the bike and a blown up one for $900 and within an hour, I popped on a new seal and sold off everything else.Sent from my LG-TP450 using Tapatalk Quote
