Boot=$$$ ???
-
People are throwing out all these names and not saying why they choose that brand. Is it whoever has the coolest bottle?
-
Well I'll be damn. Right now I'm on a 98 banshee but I've had numerous quads. I also have an arctic cat 650 that I ride. Yeah, I went to General Sams this last Saturday and went to soggy bottom quiet a bit when it was open.
-
I'm in the College Station area, Caldwell specifically.

Where in Texas are you? I didn't know la had dunes.

Banshee's aren't exactly newb friendly. My buddies 450r absolutely raped me on our first go. I wasn't in the powerband to start and held each gear wayy to long. After I got used to it we run neck and neck, and that's on asphalt. It's definitely gonna take a good rider to keep up with either of those machines.
Also like people have said, just go ride and have fun. It's not like you're entering into a GNCC race against Bill Ballance.
-
your joking right?
Yes
-
That's my Banshee lol.
-
^^^ That thought crossed my mind also. I don't want to dump a lot of $$$ into some junk either. I'll weigh my options and go from there.
-
Cool. Man it would be sweet if I could land another one of these for cheap.
-
I just measured the I.D. of the engine side and it was about 28.60mm. The filter side is like 45.5mm. The carbs aren't linked together like on a 4 stroke street bike? Does anybody know where I can get another one from?
-
I have a carb that was on a Blaster that I am thinking may work on the Banshee but I'm not 100% what it is. It's a Keihin PWK and the only numbers on it are 29SBOOHM but when I google that nothing comes up. Also I am unfamiliar with the Banshees carb set-up. Is there linkage or anything that joins the carbs together? It doesn't look like it. Basically what I'm wondering is can I buy another one of these carbs and make it work?
-
Both of those quads are right at home in the woods, especially with the irs. Also the Renegade has gobs of useable power and is automatic, with a good rider I wouldn't be suprised if you have a hard time keeping up with it.
Edit: You said trails, I was thinking woods. Outcome will probably come to riders regardless

The plugs were fouled but I put new ones in it and no help. Another thing is the tank was half full with cheap oil when I put the Caster oil in. Maybe some pod filters would give it more air, or maybe no air filters at all
-
....right after I switched to caster 927 32:1 from cheapy kawi oil at 32:1. It's been running so freaking good but today after I put the caster in it it got to where it wouldn't rev out or pull on the midrange. It just sort of spits and sputters and when it does rev out it's only on one cylinder. I thought it was the tors so I unplugged it but no luck.
Would switching to a better oil make it run richer at the same ratio for some reason?
Oh, I put two new plugs in it also.

125's in blasters have been done. You'll have to fab everything, it'll be a custom installation. 125's are really peaky but it should have quite a bit more juice than the blaster engine.
-
Blasters are pretty tough. Your gf must have been riding the piss out of it if he was able to blow it up.
-
People have said they have cranks come apart with just exhaust. Well, only one person, but still.
-
I don't even know the gearing. It has wore out stock Dunlops on it. I was thinking shaving the head, timing plate, pod filters and rejet, and playing with the gearing like you said. I'm kinda hesitant about milling the head though. People have said the cranks like to come apart when you start adding cornpression.
-
Just think what you could do with that airbox lid removed.
And a twist throttle!
Shees vs 450's is comparing apples to oranges. To anyone biased against 450's and won't own one really are missing out.
-
I need more mods! I figure that's pretty good considering I am close to stock. I don't know if there's anything else done to it. I'd like to beat that 450.

Lets hear some stories of battles between your Banshees and fo fitties. My last sport quad was a trx450r and I really liked, I'm in the mood for another one actually.Anways, here is my story...
1998 Banshee with T5's and a K&N filter with airbox and even lid still installed vs. my buddies 06 trx450r with HRC kit only. It's really amazing how close we are when we go WOT down the back roads. It's dead even, even at top speed. Now, if we switch quads I murder my own Banshee on his 450, but he does have about 80lbs on me and I don't think he's used to the quicker shifting and powerband of the shee.
Anybody else ever battle it out with the new breed, any color?
-
How much you want for one of the steering stems? Shoot me........a pm.
-
I love it. Really nice 'shee. I think I'm going to try to get my 98 to look something like that.
