  1. At home i have everything. When i ride i bring lots of tools with in the truck. When im on the trails i carry a back pack with wrenches screwdrivers, zipties, sockets, just some common things. I have a tow rope in my front bumper and 8 ounces of oil under the seat just incase i have to borrow strait gas. I had a spare motor that i was going to bring with on long trips, but i sold it on ebay.

  2. Well, im not expert with frame and suspension geometry, but I do know a few things.

     

    First, the front frame rails of the 250r, where the arms mount up, is relativly narrow. I mean that the arms mount close to the center line of the frame. In return, this offers less bump steer, and over all better handling.

     

    Another thing you will notice is the lengthy apearence of the R. It uses a long chassis with the front suspension far forward. Its motor is mounted towards the swingarm pivot point with plenty of room up front. Also, its swingarm length and alngle effects the way ii handles and hooks up.

     

     

    Theres a load of factors that determine how a quad will handle..

  3. You can take him. If your a good launcher you will get it most of the time. I race a 125 with my blaster and from 1-3rd gear he only has me by like 2 lenths. Then its all downhill after that. But banshees have much more power then i have and not too much more weight so id say you could do it.

  4. One thing I find with the banshees and blasters is that basic mods dont add much value, and dont take away much either. A piped blaster might go for 1300 and the same bike w/ a stock pipe mihgt go for 1250. But you can now ebay that pipe for 100 to 150. A little more work but you can make a few extra bucks.
