lewisaric Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 i`m a newb to the two stroke scene. i have always heard good of banshee`s and i am thinking of getting one. i just wanted to know about how would i need to ride one. i`ve always heard that you have to keep them in the powerband or you will burn the top end up and that you have to stop every half hour or so and let them cool, even though they are water cooled. i do mostly trail riding but have sandpits around the house. any info can help. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1Inferno Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Nah if they are jetted righ you dont have to keep it wound up, and as far as stopping every half hour bullshit too, unless you have a drag bike. Again if its jetted right your golden, welcome to the addiction. they really arent that different other then the narrow powerband and going from a 4 poke it feels like your over revving it, but ride one for a while and go to a 4 poke and youll be like wheres the rest of the revvs? Basically as long as the bike is done right your fine to ride for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2/2 many banshees Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 if you never rode a 2 stroke I would not jusr jump on a banshee if you like living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosBanshee44 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yeah 2 strokes like to be run hard i wouldn't let it sit there and idle for a long time either. Drag bikes are different but from the sound of it that's a totally different ballgame for you so we'll just stick to the basics for now....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Just remember, shee's are liquid cooled but not by a fan..........sooooooooooooo, we shee rider's improvise and ride it wide open as often as you can and it keeps the air flowin' and the shee cool.

lewisaric Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 thanks guys. thats alot of help. accually i was thinking of building a shee from the ground up. any info on that could help to, like where`s the best place to get a frame and other parts. i`ve looked on ebay and they have a few frames but i have never bought any thing from them so i don`t know. and they have just about every other part you could think of to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 your best bet for cheap used parts would be this site right here, classified section also try everything2stroke, its dominated by banshees, tons of parts for sale and cool info there too, between those 2 places, you should be able to find anything u need, parts wise or info wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1Inferno Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 be careful with a used frame, you may be better off getting a new one and used everything else. A lot of people sell them becuase them bent em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll save the heartache and shipping etc. That's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisaric Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 what about rebuilding one. i was thinking of trying to find one with a blown top end and taking it down to bare frame and replacing all that needs to be replaced or suped up. what about that idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee rips Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 what about rebuilding one. i was thinking of trying to find one with a blown top end and taking it down to bare frame and replacing all that needs to be replaced or suped up. what about that idea that would be a better way to do it IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ya, especially because there isn't much to a top end of a two stroke............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedtrik Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 If you want a Shee, go for it. You have to learn sometime. My wife has never ridden a 2 stroke until I put her on my Shee Monday. She loved it, it fit her well ( she's over 6 ft. tall ) and she liked the power. Hated the kick start part but liked it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosBanshee44 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yeah i would rebuild one instead of starting from scratch. You'll find the parts easy on this site. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
