So Cal Suspension

HOLY SHIT!! 5 GRAND?? Those cylinders better be made of gold, my friend. I wouldn't hold your breath. On that note... I'll give you 1500 for it.

No sir. Don't be soliciting people to play with their "Shift Shaft"... goddamn pervert.

In So Cal I think you could expect to pay around 2500-3000 for that. in ShiCahGo, probably less... maybe 2000-2500? Edit: WTF kind of rear tires are those?

Someone will probably correct me, but depending on your elevation, I think 280's might be a little lean...?

You'll never get any interest without pictures...

EC, here are the pics, i'll clean it all up and clean/oil the filter before I ship it.

HAI GAIS, That IS the good stuff. It says right on the bottle, "Tastes better". Being real here for a second... I wonder what NyQuil, or even DayQuil would smell like run through as a premix... If anyone's got a motor that's going out, or about to be torn down for a rebuild, will you PLEASE premix with nyquil and video tape it. I know I won't be able to smell it via youtube, but I'm so goddamn curious to know what it smells like, I'm almost ready to try it on my motor. Is it worth the 400 bucks? It might just be... EDIT/ADDITION: Why the hell do you have an EMPTY bottle of NyQuil laying around anyway? It's obviously been there a while, there's condensation building up inside the bottle.

Sent you a PM.

Like I said, you're STILL an idiot. BTW, here's the quote from my PM's...

Here we go again...

For anyone who's interested, this kid sent me a PM and called me an asshole for calling HIM an idiot...

You're an idiot.

I know they sell frames on ebay... People sell them here... but it's an entire frame. It's not like someone's cutting the vin off of the frame and just selling that. Minkia is advertising just cutting the vin off and sending it that way. Maybe I'm lost and this is a widely practiced thing... I dunno. It just didn't sit right with me. I was just wondering why make it that easy for someone with a stolen bike have a title. AHHH, whatever... lol... as long as it's not my bike that's stolen I'm okay with it.

Isn't this kind of shady? I mean, would you be okay selling a vin tube and title to someone who has a stolen bike? Just seems kinda wrong...

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!! In all seriousness, I've got a buddy who is about 350 (I know, it's not the same as 450) but he rides his shit stock. Bought it in 03, and has had no problems with the stock suspension. It does ride low, and I'd imagine it bottoms out frequently, However, you add another 100lbs to it, and you might run into some issues with tires popping during serious riding. Better run those things at 15psi, rather than 6.

Have you ever been there? The risk is NOT worth the reward. Drive 30 min to Brawley. LOL. Pizza hut takes phone in orders. Call them when you hit the turn off by Cow Shit Acres.

Not to highjack, but avenger, do you have pics of the aluminum grille you want to sell?

Thanks sheerzr for the correction. They all run fine once they are started... Banshees in halfway decent shape should start by about the 3rd kick. Where are you located?

First things first, Where are you located? $1,400 for a banshee that needs a top end, is way over priced, especially for an essentially stock bike. Reconsider the price. I've seen complete bikes that need top ends go for as little as $700. Again, it's going to vary depending on where you're located. If you DO end up buying this bike, there are several site sponsors on here who do amazing work, and have awesome prices. Wilcard, and Herr Jugs Racing are just a couple. There could be several reasons the bike is hard to start, if the top end is fine. DO A COMPRESSION CHECK prior to buying the bike. Someone could correct me on this, but I think a stock motor should be roughly 150-170psi per cylinder. If the guy is saying "it doesn't run right in the winter", and you're buying it in the winter, be VERY cautious of this guy.It is NOT normal for a banshee to not run right in the winter. With proper jetting, the bike should run perfect no matter what the temperature outside is. If it's hard to start, and runs terrible when it's cold outside, it sounds like it might just be a carb problem, rather than a top end. But the only way to tell is to do the compression check. Go buy a tester if you don't have one, you'll use it a bunch. In conclusion, just be very cautious of this bike, it sounds like it might be full of headaches. I hate to see new banshee owners on here complaining right after they bought a bike, that it's a pile of poo and they have to immediately dump a ton of money into it. You did the right thing, you came here first!!

You do know there is a "Wanted" section right?

Check the fuel line going to the left side carb and make sure it's still flowing fuel. Pull it off the carb, and open up the petcock and see if gas flows out. if not... well, there's your answer.

Update on the wheel flip. I rode it this weekend on at glamis (I know, not flat track), but it was without a doubt more stable. I didn't notice any more bump steer than stock, and had no problems whatsoever. I say go for it!

Not to make you feel stupid, but have you checked all the obvious things? Key switch and kill switch? In case the key switch has gone bad, you could try bypassing it before you open up the side of the motor. Other than that, I agree with what Heath said. Ricky's has recently been notorious for random stators that aren't worth a shit.

I'm confused, you guys are talking about gear oil right? I've never mixed oil into my gas. I just filled the crank case like halfway with oil. But I used the good stuff. "Castrol high mileage". Belray MC1 @ 50:1
