pitbike26 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 hey im new to banshees i have rode one once and i loved it but i want to know what are some of the pros and cons of the banshee because i want one in the near future thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Ton of pros. Been made for 20 years and still going (just can't buy new models in the US) Great motor, nearly any part under the sun available for them, from wild to mild, did I say great motor? relatively unchanged in 20 years, (chassis and electrical is about it) Tons around for cheap.... Cons: Outdated frame and suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duneloon Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Pro the Banshee is nothing more than an adult erector set. The after market will alow you to do anything your heart desires :biggrin: . Con this desire is strongly offset by your wallet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbike26 Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 ive heard the banshees have overheating problems what can i possibly do to fix that and do the newer models have overheating problems too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 ive heard the banshees have overheating problems what can i possibly do to fix that and do the newer models have overheating problems too Cool head, billet impeller and an over sized aluminum radiator.

flattrakker Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 only overheat if you stress it out... one con is that you always want it to be faster then it already is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) iv never had issues with mine, but a billet impeller and running an actual coolant vice antifreeze goes along ways. no need for a oversized rad. the stock cools fine.

Coupelx Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 the only things i do not like about my banshee is the gayass chain adjuster and the wimpy front suspension. but both are easily switched out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
