fastrthnu Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think people get the idea banshees are to expensive to mod because they are,. but only because there are 2 of most parts,. pipes, carbs, filters, reeds, pistons, ect.... but bang for the buck its worth it and still cheaper than moding a 4 choke to be of equal handling/speed. Just like the difference between a big block and a small block. a big blocks parts are more expensive,. but by the time you build a small block to have equal horsepower,. youve spent more.

MILO Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 1) THEY SUCK FOR TRAIL RIDING 2) THEY SUCK CUZ YOU HAVE TO BUY 2 OF EVERYTHING 3) THEY SUCK BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN ... 1) if set up properly and you know how to ride one, banshees kick ass on the trails 2) some things yes, but not EVERYTHING... but it's well worth it and doesn't really cost any more than mod'ing a 4 stroke and is MUCH easier 3) always breaking down is the fault of the idiot not taking care of it or not knowing what they are doing to begin with when doing their own work. (could be the same with any ride) i've seen lots of sweet shees on this site that are maintained better than some peoples cars or homes.

Toybreaker Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I split the cases on "theshee's" banshee in 2 hours. They aren't hard to work on. My last top end took me under an hour to put in after I had gas tank and plastics off. I'd say the one I hear the most is tha they break down all the time. I get some prety good hours out of top ends, and shit its only $100 and a an hour or two to put it in. They aren't that hard to work on once you've done a few. let me know where you are getting your gaskets pistons and what machine shop your are using. $100 for a top end? thats unbelievable cheap. pistons alone cost me $150 plus tax. gaskets and machine work are another $100 easy. Fill us all in we want to get that deal too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korndawg Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 The last top end rebuild I did was a little closer to $200 for pistons, machine work, and gaskets. That still isn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Bottom line in reliablity all boils down to the owner of the bike and how well he maintains his equipment............ :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uallsuk03 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 all of these reason is why my dad and unc think i'm retarded for gettin a shee cuz it's two stroke. well you know what i've ridden two strokes all my life every bike i had was two stroke so i'll stick wit my two stroke an my unc can stick wit his raptor 660 i'll let ya's know how it goes when i spank his bigger displacement bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick2stroke Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 That's all I ever hear. "they're unreliable and suck for anything other then wide open and drags" Shit, I was beating out some c class riders on the track with mx'ed out 400's, 450's, 500's, and 660/700's on a STOCK suspension banshee and have never had trouble keeping up with anyone in the trails as of yet. I just can't wait till I've really got this thing modded. I love being the underdog, almost anyone will underestimate a banshee on the track.

Alex! Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 id say the biggest misconception is that they dont get you laid. well thats not true cuz ive fucked 5 hot bitches just because they wanted to feel the banshee vibrate. once they got on, they didnt wanna get off... LOL! They have to have teeth and weigh less than 200lbs for it to count! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White06Shee Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I Have Always Heard "Unreliable", And "they Are Pricy" My Friend Told Me "why Do You Want A Banshee?? YouHave To Buy 2 Of Everything And They Are So Unreliable", If You HAd A 4 Stroke You Could Just Buy One Of Everything And Be Reliable" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
