A nice lightweight axle would probably make a difference. I'm shocked at how heavy the stock banshee axle is.
Get an aftermarket swingarm, the stock swingarms are big and heavy as well.
Yeah Ksl has some pretty good deals, Thats where I found my shee two years ago. Like Phelps said, I would check compression, trans fluid..etc.
Like I said earlier, if they don't know shit about their banshee...there is probably a reason.
Yeah, I love these pipes but I'm coming to find out the silencers pretty much suck. The design isn't the best. At least I got them all nice and repacked really good.
I wish I could run a different silencer on these...just something easier to repack and work on.
When looking for a banshee or any quad just look for any signs of the bike being rolled, cracked frame...etc. IMO if the quad owner can't tell you what has been done to the bike, or much about it..walk away. If I was looking for a modded banshee I would expect the owner selling the machine to know the bike in and out.
Don't waste your time looking at 450's...a banshee will be way funner and has much more potential than a 450 IMO. I sold my YFZ450 for my banshee and I couldn't be happier.
I noticed your in Draper, There are lots of good deals on banshee's around here in UT.
Hit up MattSCESC on here. He is a site sponsor and could steer you in the right direction. Also, you could probably save money just having him put a stiffer spring on your stock shock
IMHO I would think it would almost hurt the performance of your bike. I've always thought even running silencers without packing can hurt performance.
If you want a drag pipe, I would get something thats a real built drag pipe... Shearer OOF or CPI OOF. I see alot of guys lately even running silenced OOF pipes.
