Might be buying/building a 2001 Banshee

[Colorado700R]

I would be my first banshee, I will be for drag/hillshooting anything specific I should be aware of?  What are good mods for good speed/power and decent reliablity?

2strokes = rebuild every other ride. 
and a quick tip.. get rid of it and buy a raptor.

a good running 4 mil Banshee will hand you your ass repeatedly and for less $$$


Besides I like working on my quads

have fun. Dangerously fun machines. Don't have to change oil...... it changes itself.

My son had one. Never had to turn the bars just lean hit the throttle and ass slide, too much fun. Rode like crap in the rough but a kick on the beach.The stock ones were pretty reliable for a 2stroke twin.

Banshees are amazing machines... For the money, you cant beat them for speed. A well build banshee isnt going to break all the time either, a lot of the reliability comes down to how well it was put together and if who ever is jetting it isnt retarted or not. If you want a dunable drag banshee, a dune ported stock cylinder 4 mil would be a good bike... I have a ported stock cylinder, stock stroke banshee if you would be interested aaron, 3k would take it and its a bad looking bike. Has fullbores I painted, has black t-5 pipes and the fattys in the pic, has tail tech lights now, TORS removed, pod filters, and some other stuff, but it is a very good looking bike. Make me a good offer aaron and I will bring it to you....

theyre alot different than riding a raptor.... i dont like them but i have never been a fan of 2 strokes.

i liked em till i rode one. if i were you id try to ride one and see if you like it, thats if you havent already

banshees are great running bikes if things are done right.  Colorado a lock up is a must for these when drag racing.  also a good set of pipes like shearer or cpi and lectron carbs.  khien are good as well just more finicky.  i just built my first one 3 months ago and took it out to the drags and smoked every 4 stroke out there.  just has to be done right.  good port work is a must.  you will get what you pay for when it comes to port work.  if there is anything i can hel pout with let me know.  not an expert but have a little knowledge after my first build.

not trying to start anything, but I think keihin carbs are less finiky then mikuini carbs... The PWK series keihin carbs are hard to beat, only disadvantage ive ever had with keihin carbs is if you convert then to alky they are stuck that way, you can switch mikuini carbs back to gas if you want to.

The 440 conversion is a monster.

Great kit, and it's snappy on the throttle.

nothing started theshee,  everyone has there own opinion.  mine would be khein and yours is obviousily mukini.  ive had them and didnt like them my bike ran alot better with airstrykers.

[theshee]

i agree, keihin carbs are the best, I think they are the better ones out there... 35mm PWK airstrikers are hard to beat on a shee..
