jon23 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I am going to be getting a 04 banshee soon it will be my first ATV. The dealer said if i keep it clean and maintain it will be reliable. I dont know how to clutch yet he said he will show me what to do and i should learn it in about 15 minutes. What should i prepare for when getting a banshee and how fast are they and what is a 04 banshees horespower? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshees and beers Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Good choice my man, my first quad was a banshee. I learned to ride on trails out in PA. That made things hard, but if I learned then you can. Find yourself a nice long flat spot and you will be fine. Stay in touch with here, and make sure you share you first event with us, pit falls and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranshee Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Some where on here there is a thread called, Your first banshee ride. Read that and you might be prepaired for the thrill. As far as clutching goes, just do what I told my girl to do her first time ridin a banshee. Put it in first, hold the gas about half throttle and dump the clutch. But please hold on, i dont want you to become another statistic and havin more people wantin us to stop ridin atv's because there dangerous.

Oilsmoke Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 (edited) Jon 23 How old are you? The Banshee in stock form is some wheres around 37 Hp. It should go over 60 mph so where a Helmet And a Diaper for ease of cleanup after the first ride. They Are fun and can be mayed to be unbeatable in a drag race. Enjoy. Oh Check your transmission oil level first. You never know about some dealerships. Edited April 24, 2004 by Oilsmoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldturtle Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Here is the drill for beginners on any two stroke bike or quad. Give it a little gas and then slowly feather out the clutch only until she starts to move. Then without anymore clutch slowly add gas and you will have a smooth start. Do not try to fully realease clutch untill completelly underway. I have taught many novices and this drill of only half clutch works fine. Take it easy until you get the feel. Do not try to learn on pavement. Oh ya, helmet and health insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
