Haha gotta say I love reading all the comments you guys posted! Believe me a banshee was my first pick, but to be honest my gf is scared to death of driving anything (took me 2 years to get her to drive a car lol) so a banshee just seems like overkill. Would really like to find a 400 ex or some other reliable slow dog she can ride for cheap haha. And not to put you blaster buffs down but those are the worst pieces of shit I have ever ridden at the dunes, my group had literally 6 of them and they all blew up at least once a season (3 on the same ride) .

Really appreciate all the info guys! So pretty much seems like everyone agrees the LT250 is a piece of shit haha. I offered the trail blazer to her once or twice and she was completely against it since she wants to learn how to shift and she thinks its ugly. What about the Honda 250 same issues? http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/sno/4248495514.html

Its probably the 2-stroke version I think?

Thanks for the insight! Yeah hes only asking 600 and I think I might even be able to get it for 350 bucks at that I figure if it runs it can't be all bad right?

Wow long time no see everyone! Hope everyone has been doing well anyways I'm looking to get my GF a cheap quad to ride with me. Anyone know anything about the Suzuki LT250s? I found one locally for around 600 bucks that's been modded to a 300 engine. I don't know anything about these quads so would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out with some information about their reliability, ease of riding, power, ect? Any help is appreciated!

I only go to the Sand Dunes to ride and I have both sets of pipes and a banshee that has an +4 swingarm, ported polished, milled head,k&n filter, wiseco pistons and rings, stock carbs, adv timing and flywheel done. Which pipe is better overall? I do like to drag race and hill race, but I also do some heavy duning. Any help is appreciated thanks.

At the dunes I've raced and rode all three. I can say without a doubt that if all of the quads were stock the race would end like this... yfz 450 450r banshee But if the banshee is modded (pipes port ect like mine) the race would look something like this, since this is how it turned out for us. Banshee (by far) yfz 450 450r While the 450s are good duners, it takes alot of money to make them racing machines. As opposed to the banshee which takes minimal money and but lots of patience. As far as which 450 is better, without a doubt the yamaha, its faster and better riding.

The motor never lasted more than a trip, the last time it only last 3 rides. When I had it redone I just took the plugs out to make sure the residue on the plugs was chocolate brown. I'm sure other factors contributed to it, but I'm positive the jetting was the main cause. ( no air leaks, mixture 25:1, ect.) I hope I get this right, the blow up was so bad on the previous motor the estimation for rebuild was $2500 (nothing in it was salvageable) , so I decided to start over and bought a new motor.

I can't wait two weeks, I'm thinking of going out there this weekend. :biggrin:

Just wondering if anyone knows what jetting to use for CPI inframes, I run at glamis (sea level?) and I had it jetted to 340 mains. Well it leaned the motor out and it blew up (even though I checked the plugs 10 times) , one new banshee motor later I'm wondering what I should jet it to, 360? Any help is appreciated thanks

Hey everyone long time no see, anyways I changed the swingarm on my banshee sunday and now I have to bleed the brakes. It doesn't pressurize when I pump the brakes so I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hey guys I was at the dunes riding my banshee over Thanksgiving. While riding I noticed that it was running abnormally hot so I cut the motor. I then discovered that the antifreeze line to the water pump had come off.(It could have been off for more than a minute) So I filled the radiator with cold water and started it back up. Not 30 seconds later the radiator hose to the head blows off and antifreeze comes flying out. So I pulled the head and see its warped, but other than that everything is ok. So I ask should I redome the stock head, or buy something like a cool head? Is a cool head worth the money, does it really keep it cooler? Thanks

Look the chain is relativly new (like 4 trips on it), I am asking how to stop it form stretching if you don't have ideas to contribute (other than the obvious) stop posting.

What are you doing trying to get your number of posts up? That had nothing to do with it.
