'SheeRider07

Well, I am looking for a YFZ around Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virgina, lower New York, and maybe New Jersey? Would like the seller to be able to meet me halfway if it is a far distance away from me. I would like to the YFZ to be a good price and all stock so it will cost less money, don't have a ton to spend on a decked out one. It doesnt matter if it needs work done to it as long as the price is right. But, I would really like to get a mint stock 04 YFZ for a fairly cheap price. Let me know what you have, price, condition, location, etc. Thanks, Scott

Well, as far as riding one, I'm going to go find on that is for sale locally and ride it and see how I like it. I am pretty sure I will like it though. I had 2 stroke twin cylinders snowmobiles before and loved them.

Where would I find a compression tester at though? I looked on several sites already and found nothing.

How would I check the compression? I don't have the tool to do that. How much does that tool even cost? It will be handy to have once I get a Banshee. Also, how would I be able to tell if the jetting is right? Just look at the plugs I guess?

How far are you from PA? Seems to be a good deal. Probably too far though.

Looks nice. Do you have AIM so we can talk about it more?

You could try www.bluetraxx.com Yamaha quads only, if that helps.

Well, I am going to be buying a new quad soon and I am pretty sure I wanted a Banshee. I always wanted one ever since I saw and heard them and now I can finally get one. Anyways, I will more than likely buy a used one with a couple mods like pipes, silencers, etc that has not been beat and is in pretty much good shape. Do you think it will be hard to find a modded, non beat Banshee that is pretty much "like new?" Also, how much should I expect to pay for a Banshee from the year 2001 or newer that is like new with a couple mods? Somewhere around $3,500? Anyways, the type of riding that I will be doing will be some trails, mainly open trails that you can go fast on most of the time, depending on how busy that they are. I also like to hill climb a lot and jump. I will be going to MX tracks every so often as well. I also like to wheelie, how does a Banshee wheelie? As far as maintance, what do I have to do to it? Anything I should watch for? Also, if I do the riding that I mentioned above, about how often do you think I have to rebuild it? I always hear people saying that Banshee's are so un-reliable and blow up left and right. This is what is pretty much keeping me from buying one, is this true? Also, how is the power on it compared to a Z-400, Raptor, and Predator I will be modding it out as well like pipes, silencers, bumper, nerfs, +2 a-arms, +4 axle, YFZ450 shocks, etc. Thanks for the help. P.S : I am moving up from a modded 400EX bored out to a 416.

Yeah, where are you located? Probably end up being like a million miles away from me, like all of the nice Banshee's are. Anyways, do you have anymore pics of it? If so, send them to me at [email protected] Parent's e-mail address, mine broke, I guess?

Why does evenything have to be so far away from PA!

That's true. I've been thinking about buying a used low hour '03 Banshee off this one guy that has barely rode it and then mod it out slowly when the money comes in. I think it would probably be better to buy one like this, that way I know that he never abused it, etc. Plus, in the pics, it looks like brand new. Do you think $3,800 is a good deal on a 2003 Black/Red Banshee? It is still in like new condition and he just took recent pics of it and it was dirty, but the plastics were still shining like the day it was new. Also, I have a chance to get a good deal on a Raptor, too. What do you think is better, a Raptor or a Banshee? I have always wanted a Banshee ever since I saw one, so I think I will probably get one. I dont really like the high center of gravity that the Raptor has. But, what do you think would be better for me a Raptor or a Banshee? I will do some trail riding (mainly open trails where I can open it up at), hill climbs, some MX, etc.

Ah, I dont know what I was thinking. I meant to say +2 a-arms and +4 axle. Sorry about that But, how much do you think a Banshee set up the way I listed would cost compared to building one up myself?

I am going to be buying a Banshee here soon and Im not sure what I want to do yet. I am either going to buy a complete running Banshee or either a rolling chasis Banshee and modify it the way I want it. What way do you think will be cheaper? All I really want done to the Banshee would be pipes, silenceres, air filters, nerfs, bumper, bars, grab bar, skids, and then eventurally Elkas, +2 a-arms, +4 a-arms and so-on. I was just thinking of donig the project so I can buy all of the aftermarket stuff at once. What way do you think will be better or cheaper and why? Also, how much do you think it will cost for a Banshee frame, rear shock, engine, wiring harness, radiator, and gas tank?
