Im a fella Irish rider an i have seen this boy on this banshee twice and he certainly does not spare the horses. I was very impressed and its so good to see a banshee right up there mixing it with the 10grand 4strokers!!

I am on the same boat myself. I have a totally stock Shee and i ride forests, dunes or flat feilds just fun riding. Im going for a FMF Gold seris system and a boost bottle as the low end power isnt that great. Not to fussed on shocks unless i got them quite cheap. I feel i will never beable to ride my banshee the way it is designed to be riden and that the aftermarket game is a case of when u buy one thing where do you stop?? I am so pleased with my stock banshee overall but the Fmf will top it nicely for me.

Hi there Ryan from Ireland here. Heres the small problem, when i fire up my banshee from cold it starts no trouble at all but im noticing the left exhaust is a little more smokey than the right. When the bike is warmed up properly they give off an even smoke on rev. Anything to worry about?? Thanks guys.

Thanks fella but what do you mean by sinking the carbs??

Hi there, when my bike is warming up it seems to be running richer on the right hand cylinder as the exhaust smoke is just slightly heavier. I never noticed this before until i been messing around with the air screws under the seat. Could this be the problem? The bike is running on Castrol A747 and is going like a dream. Any ideas?? Thanks again!

Thanks fella for your help. I will get started this week on sourcing the shocks as i have the arms. Thanks.

Hi just a few simple questions. Is the 450 setup good enough to MX a banshee with? Is there a big defference in ride qualtiy over a stock banshee? Has anyone here done a race with the Arm and shock set up on their banshee. Ive figured out how to fit it all i just want some info from people who have ridden with the set up. All the best.

Thanks for your help fella. Problem now totaly sorted! Thanks again.

Guys i removed the parking brake during the strip? Do i need to put it back on the bike again??

Hi there i took the plastics, tank, seat, exhausts off my banshee to give it a wash. I washed every where with a little brush and a dab of petrol. I covered the hole to the air box and covered the holes at the head where water could get in. Now the problem i have built the bike back up together put a fesh gallon of petrol in it hit it one kick and it fired up no trouble, i then let it idle for 5mins went to give it a full rev and it wouldnt take it. I have checked the throttle cable-plugs-petrol pipe. The bike will idle all day but no reving. Can any one help?

Have you any idea why the 06 450 stuff wont fit? Thanks.

Excellent post fella. Im on the job already. Hopefully getting the 450 parts at the weekend. Whats even better ive sold all my banshee bits to my friend for his blaster. Really hope this is a good set up!

Hi guys thanks for your help. Think i will stick with the 9x9. Thanks again.

Hi there should i run 8 - 9 or 10 inch rear rims on my banshee for mx? What tye size would be the best to use for each of the rims. Thanks for your help guys.

Hi there should i run 8 - 9 - or 10 inch rims on the rear of my banshee. Going to start the mx on it, what tyes would be best suited to each of the 3 types of rim. Any info will be great, thanks for helping!!

Hi there i have a front and rear lowering bracket kit fitted to my new banshee. I ride the bike on lose gravel and sandy type surface. Do i need the front lowered for this type of riding or should i take them off? I find the bike handles pretty good. Also what way should i have the back bracket set low/high? I only do small jumps. Any advice for the best ride height you guys can give me would be great as USA really leads the way for banshees!! Im the only one outta 6 friends who has a 2stroke quad now all the rest are 4strokes. Thanks again.

Hi again, going tomorrow to hopefully buy a 03 Banshee. It may seem like such a simple ask but please with all the experienced people on here i would like to know if you have a maintenance routine for when you finished riding?? How often do you change the filter/plug/tran oil etc?? I want to keep my bike in as good a dhape for as long as possible! Thanks for your help!!

Thanks for the replys! Just have to start looking for one now!!

Hi everyone. Having just sold my ltz 400 i know want a banshee. However all i want to know is if they would be as reliable as my old 4stroke suzuki quad? I will be buying the best oil and filters and will be keeping the bike the best i can. I dont race them its just some fun round a self made track at our farm over here in Ireland. I owned a banshee about 3yrs ago but it was fully tuned for road racing, after 2weeks its stopped going and it cost me
