well he says it runs fine once its started. Its just starting it thats the issue so it seems like rings but if I'm gonna do rings I might as well send the cylinder out and do a complete top end. I think it'll need a little carb tuning but I'm not too worried about that. and around here "cheap" banshees are IMPOSSIBLE to find! he wanted 2000 but I got it down to 1400. When I get there tomorrow I'll probably find some more stuff "wrong" with it to warrant an offer of 1000-1200...

Hi, I'm picking up my first banshee tomorrow. Its a 99 and I'm paying 1400 for it. I think the bike needs a top end from what the guy is telling me but I figured someone on here should be able to help considering I know next to nothing about banshees! The guy I'm buying it from tells me that its tough to get it going by kickstarting it but it does pop-start and runs good once going (in the warm) he says it doesnt run great in the winter... (normal I guess?) It seems like it needs rings but I think I want to just do a full top end rebuild to make sure its ready to go for the summer. I was looking at sending it to full bore online to get the work done there. Has anyone used these guys? do they do a good job? any suggestions or reccomendations let me know. I'm excited to get my first banshee and I want to do what I have to and do it right so it runs good once spring rolls around. BTW it is mostly stock with toomey t5 pipes and they're jet kit, and airbox vents etc... any help or advice is appreciated!! thanks
