wpope Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I just bought a 94 Banshee, and I recognize that this question has a lot of variables (pipes, jets, etc), so I'm not looking for a specific answer, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me about how far a tank of gas can take me. My friends do some trail rides, and was wondering if I will have the "endurance" on the Banshee to "lead the way" Any help would be appreciated.

If I ride WOT most of the time I get about an hour give or take,. If Im out with the family parade of 4x4`s putting around,. Ive stayed out for around 3.

MILO Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 i would guess around 3-4 hours of mixed trail riding. the poker runs we go on are usually 25-30 miles and have a few play areas. i ride hard when i can, hit all the hill climbs i can, but get stuck behind the utes sometimes too, and i haven't had to hit reserve once yet. every shee is different though bud. i'd say just try it out and see what you end up with, you may be surprised at how far shee'll go.

BigRed350x Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 My record is... burning 25gal of methanol in one day at KP riding with a friend. At Sand mountain over easter vacation I burned about 15gal a day. I burned through a 55gal drum of methanol in 3 days at sand mountain. Methanol is different than normal gas though... - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 1 1/2 hours at the dunes. Not a prob anymore, I upgraded to a 4 gal tank & ride anywhere needed & back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah, I ran about 10 gallons of AVgas mixed with 10 of 93 and usually came back with 5 gallons, but then again I didn't run all the time either. Now, with the new motor i think that is going to change.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
