high octane junkie

thanks brother. i read your signature, nice shee! i dunno what yours looks like though, did we run together and did i get mopped? heh.

i run 23" fronts/22" rears on my desert racer, mostly for ground clearance. it's not a shee however.

agreed, the seat cover was a last minute thing, got it done at a local upholstery shop. it's a little slippery.

I WILL NOT PART OUT. i may be interested in trades or partial trades + cash. dyno'd 100rwh, runs 108+ octane (i run 111 w/ redline pre-mix) it's a decent duner, swing-arm too long to be a great duner, and switch the yfz450 spindles banck to banshee spindles for the front end to handle better. feel free to ask any questions. $7,500 obo. purchased in 2003, tore down and re-built ground up in 2005. freshened top end in 2007. it has scratches and a couple chips, i did ride it! rolled it once on comp. hill, halloween 05. i have other quads and this one has only been used 3X in the last two years (halloween 07, veterans day 07, new years 09.) thanks for your interest. joseph.

very well put, and i can see this being very genuine and authentic. the ltr450 is extremely corked up with stock exhaust. with a full yoshimura rs5 exhaust, the results you have stated will be flipped. also, your t6 exhaust is a better exhaust than the fmf exhaust on the other shee.

the ltr450 you listed probably has slightly more horsepower, but definitely more torque. lighter weight too. it's going to depend on the actual set-up.. a stock ltr450 is geared 14-36 with 18" rear tires. a stock banshee is geared 14-41 with 20" rear tires. using a gearing calculator, with these specifications the top speed is nearly the same, less than a 1 mph benefit for the banshee, but the suzuki would outpull the banshee in all gears, and the banshee would need to play "catch-up." roughly the ltr450 will win a short to medium distance drag race, and definitely low end by far. both vehicles starting a race side by side at top speed in a large open field will be extremely close.

ha! cause you boys are stuck on the east coast.. fly out west sometime to peep a FSA race, and have some fun in our dunes too. =)~

the listed weight for the carbureted yfz450 is a DRY WEIGHT. the listed weight for the fuel injected yfz450r is WET WEIGHT. a wet carbureted yfz450 is over 400 lbs. also, the new fuel injected yfz450r utilizes a better head design, similar to the one that is on the raptor 700r, which is pretty much the new banshee of the future.

i have two barely used 06's, but the shipping would cost more than they're worth. on another note.. i have a used full trinity exhaust with i think a slightly bent mid-pipe (i had to put a 1/2 inch spacer between the canister clamp and the subframe) that collects dust in my garage. the canister has a dent on top where the clamp mounts. i wrecked the quad pretty bad, but after fixing everything i still ran the exhaust for over a year. $100 + shipping, i can provide pictures. the dent isn't noticeable while mounted.

the 400cc complete pv kit is roughly $3,000 + install labor, etc.

the kits are anywhere from $3,000 and up plus install labor etc. my 485 kit cost $4,000 plus carbs and boots, plus case machining, plus heavy duty clutches, plus labor and so on.. on ebay right now, someone is auctioning a brand new 496 cheetah pv complete kit minus crank, it'll probably sell for around half price or so.. it has ten hours left.

long travel arms/shocks are usually close to the ball joints, but those are the closest i've ever seen. who built those arms?

i'm headin' out wednesday evening through sunday. i'll have the baby blue shee, silver 734r, yellow ltr450, silver rhino, and maybe the baby pink shee.

thanks for the comments, folk. parting them out has crossed my mind, but i wouldn't do it unless i had solid commitments to purchase the motors. merry christmas forum.

i used to be a member of this site a few years ago, but i'll accept being a noob again. =)~
