stealthawd Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 OK...quick little history before I get started. My first and only four wheeler I have ever had was a bored out, race ready Tecate 4. Crazy fast bike. Used to DESTROY my cousin who had a stock 'shee. I have rode many bikes in the past, 'shees, 250r's, EX's, etc...never was overly excited about the banshee but liked it better than most. Recently wanted to get rid of my crotch rocket (pulled over doing 145 in jeans, tennis shoes and t-shirt...STUPID!) and had a friend who wanted to buy it. I offered to trade him for his 'shee cuz my Tecate 4 was in dire need of a total rebuild...I did, and now I have his 'shee. OK bike, but never made me "hang on for dear life" sorta ride... Fast forward to today....... Yesterday, my Toomey T5 set comes in with the perfect jet kit and filter. I spend yesterday and today swapping exhaust, cleaning and rejetting carbs and installing TORS removal and a twist throttle (which I also have on my Tecate). Get everything done, adjust idle and load up to go for a quick ride with my brother ('02 shee with FMF Fatties and K&N clamp ons) and my buddy (stock '02 'shee). Get to the riding spot and ..... HOLY SHIT!!! A definite hang on for dear life ride. This thing is AWESOME! My hats off to the 'shees...VERY VERY impressive bike. I am a VERY VERY proud 'shee owner now. Big up PROPS to the 'shee!

SyNtAxx Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hello, now all you need to do is get it stroked and ported then by some stock in PaMpErS ! This bike has an endless platform for modifications.....porting is always a nice addition.... I love my ninja porting Later, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee tuner Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I know how you feel man I went from bone stock to toomey t5's about a year and a half ago and it was like 2 different bikes. Keep doing mods and it only gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Put a head on it and get the same difference all over again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I love reading stories like this one!!! Now, when those T-5's start to get old, and you can handle it, go for a +4 stroke, and a case of Depends. The only complaint I have about the banshee is anything you do to the engine has to be done twice, but I cant think of any other atv that I would rather have. Plus that twin just sounds good.

Toomey Banshee Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Throw on a cool head of some sort and bump up your compression to around 160-165 lbs, increase your timing and you'll really be hooked. Until of course you get her ported and polished. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
