AtvStunter Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 hate to say it, but as for me i think its not true what so ever. How could you banshee tell the difference between road and dirt? it should be fine on the road long as ya dont mess up and hurt it or hurt you.

Dead Op Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I ride a decent amount of roads, no problems here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansheeman1121 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Well the last time i seized my banshee up it was on pavement, and the 1st time i ever seized it up it was on pavement to, and when my crank blew it was on uphill pavement stretch to, coinsidence? Yes i think so, as long as your not holding wide open in 6th like you would on a 4 stroke youll be ok. Me and dead op used to cruise on highways like it was our job and we never had a problem so go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedie Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 No problems here. Mines licensed for the road and I do it all the time. I don't hold it wide open for a long time. Wears the hell out of your tires though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayleigh Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 the only harm in driving on the road is wearing out ur tires isnt it? thats wat i was told. the only bad thing about riding on the street for me is i feel like i have less control...i prefer the dirt.

Spitfire Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) Riding on the road's isn't the best on: tires, sprockets, transmission. I doubt it'll make your bike seize up or whatever, as long as you don't ride it WOT forever. But the transmission's were designed to accept wheelspin, and you're not going to get much of that on the street, hence a LOT of stress on your tranny.

BTW, what are sprockets? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 i hual ass on pavement all the time theres a abondoned air strip not even a quarter mile from me that i drag on sometimes for a begginer rider i would not reccomend driving on pavement expecially with the torque of the shee, and the only reason i could see it causing damage is becuase of all the grip the tires get and the shee being a quad that LOVES to spin its tires could possibly cause excessive stress on the drivetrain.
