I recently bought my first banshee and now just got done rebuilding the top end. When i got it, it only had the stock pipes with out the silencers, for the exhaust. The jetting is stock. Is it bad to run it with out the silencers? I would think that the jetting should be different if ran without silencers. And should i break the motor in using the setup that the owner before me had it? (stock jetting, no silencers) or should i get a new set of pipes and exhaust, and rejet it, while im breaking it in? I would like to hear it run, to be sure that there is anything else major wrong with it before i go and spend the money on a set of pipes and silencers. I tried to make this as clear as possible, but let me know what your opinions are and what you would do. Thanks!!

Thanks for the info! I think im gonna have to try the top end rebuild.

Hey everybody! I got my first banshee this weekend and could use some help and info. It seems to run fine but has about 60 lbs of compression in each cylinder when i kick it over. I can kick it over with my hand. From what ive read, this should not run if it was that low. I havent been able to take it out and ride it yet because i had to order the front drive gear, so i dont really know what the power is like, but ill find out soon. Would it hurt anything to run it this way?? I was thinking maybe top end rebuild??? Thanks!! By the way this seems like a great site!!
