Sorry to hear that, but I know how it feels, Every time a new house is built or a new subdivision goes in, it blocks a trail or a empty space where we spin around. We are looking to move to State College PA, but it will not be for quit a few years. We have friends with lots of acreage, so once we move I will not have to worry much about where to ride.

Are you racing? Do you you recommend dominator for just casual riding. Looks like you have lots of riding, we are almost to the point that we have no place left to ride. It is sad. We rode everyday as kids and have the choice of 10 pits and tons of trails, and now we half just about two or three place to ride. NJ is flat, so there is no mountains. It would be great if we could ride on the beaches in the winter, but they outlawed that years ago. I am kind of buying my bikes for the future when we move, I am looking for multiple acreage so I can build my own track and nobody can say anything about it.

I know it is an age old question and probably beaten to death around here, but I am curious to the guys who use AMSOIL. What oil do you use and at what ratio? I have heard hundreds of opinions, but would like to hear from some of the people on site what they use and how it works out. I was talking to a guy the other day and he runs AMSOIL Saber at 100:1 in his Banshee, I cannot imagine doing that, but I have heard this time and time again, people mixing 100:1. I am trying to decide on a oil I am going to run my new to me Banshee. The previous owner ran it with Klotz castor oil and I really don't think that it is the right oil, since I will not be racing the bike. I am crossed right now at Amsoil Hp injector, Interceptor and Klotz R50. So what do you like?

I have been very leery of the AMSOIL HP Injector oil, but again my dealer swears up and down as well as all his mechanics, they all use this in there 2 strokes, he said when you strip down a 2 stroke there is no white ash or residue in the engine? I have written to AMSOIL and they suggested the Interceptor over the HP injector. Like I said we run the Injector Hp in our YZ85 and so far no problems at 50:1. I am really new to owning 2 strokes, i have ridden lots but I have always owned 4 strokes. The only 2 stroke I have every owned was a Honda Odyssey, thing was great, I always got to ride allot of cool bikes back in the day because eveyone alway wanted to ride my Odyssey. I have been looking at the R50, I think this is going to be the oil that I use, that is if I can find it, I have heard lots of Banshee owners use it and say it works well for them. Do you think that it will be OK to run the R50 in the YZ 85? We race the bike in a Enduro, I think we should be using something a little different, but again my dealer said 50:1 Hp injector. Thanks for all the replies guys, everyone seems really cool on this site!!

Thanks man, I also have a 09 Suzuki LTZ-400. It is fuel injected and I put a HMF pipe and PC5 on it. It is a great bike and I have allot of fun on it, but it is no Banshee!!. Nice Stang BTW, I am a Ford guy 2.

Hey Gang, new Banshee owner here and first post to the board. I have wanted a Banshee since I was in high school and 20 years later I finally got one. I had a chance to buy one many years ago and passed and have regretted it ever since. I winded up buying a 2003, black and yellow, completely stock, does not even have pipes, the bike is almost in new condition, I looked at quit a few, but this Banshee is super clean!!! I knew it was the one as soon as the previous owner opened the garage. I have a few questions if anyone can answer and the first is premix oil, what to use? My kid races a Yamaha YZ 85 and we use AMSOIL HP Injector oil. It is not my first choice, but my dealer swears by it and he said this is all I should use. I would like to run the same oil in the shee, does anyone run HP injector oil in the Banshee? if not, what oil is best. The previous owner used Klotz castor oil with Benol and I just don't like it, I don't think this is the oil to use on a stock motor, is it ok to switch the oil even though the previous owner has been using the Klotz since he bought it? or should I just stick with it? I also want a set of pipes and silencers. I really like the Toomy T 6's and I like the DMC Aliens any advice on either of these? I really like the sound of the T 6's, they look good too. Well if anyone can help I will appreciate it, I will put up a pic of the bike when it gets back from the shop, I put the Banshee in for a complete tune up and to get it all synced up, I am hoping to be riding this weekend. Thanks for any help
