That is very informative! I appreciate the feedback as well. I'll have to check out the site venders/ sponsors. I will most likely be getting into the top end of this thing before too long since it has never been done from the impression I'm under. At least to re- ring it if it isn't too late. But it may be one of the things that if its all off, I may as well send it out and have it all done so i wont have to do it for a while. If the bores are still all round and not worn, then I'll have to think about it. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I'm not sure what the compression is on it, but i know it starts easy and runs great (plugs look good too). I just got done working on a few 4 stroke bikes that belong to my best friend. Amongst the things i did to them, I un-quorked and re-jetted them. Now I'm in the mood the knock mine out as well lol. If I can find a deal on pipes i cant pass up, then I'll pipe it & jet it sooner then later. I know these things really wake up when that gets done. My dad and some friends used to have a banshees. I've seen the potential of them from stock to alcohol fueled. I plan to stay sensible and simple. I'd also like to ride it a bit before jumping into things too much, as I'm not totally used to the feel of a quad. On a side note, I was able to pick to pick up some nice used Kenda Dune Runner razor back front wheels yesterday to go with the Skat Trak Edges I picked up on Sunday. So i should be good to go for some sand riding whenever i get a chance to go. Hopefully those will be a decent combination that work well for me. :-)

Any issues with fitment, leaking, dents etc with either sets of pipes? Is it $65 shipped?

Thanks everyone! Yeah it did seem like a fair deal for a clean machine. I know i couldve possibly gotten more for my money. But I think theres a plus to getting one that isnt molested and doesnt have any new or "fresh" work done to it from being ridden hard. Plus I think half the fun is doing mod yourself and getting to know it. I've dumped plenty of money before on dirt bike & dual sports bikes, so i know how it goes lol. I really dont plan on doing too much with this though since id like to keep longevity and reliability. We'll see hahaha. I think it would be nice to keep the stock pipes so i dont lose more bottom end and have them gutted and keep it stealthy!

Thanks. I picked it up for $2,000.

Hello, everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. My Name is Will. I just picked up my first quad. She's a bone stock 03 Banshee. It seems to be in pretty good shape. I've only had it out once on some trails and fire roads. But I havent had a chance to really run it or open it totally up and let her free. So far in the less then two months I had it I've gotten a nice front bumper, an extra set of race cut front fenders, and some used Skat Trak Edge paddles for her, as well as some custom silencer tips a friend made for me to let just a little more sound out. I look forward to reading and learning more on here as well as seeing what other cool things this site may have to offer. Here are a few pics of her when i got it and what small changes I have made so far. Enjoy! :-) -Will How I bought it... Different cut front fenders, AC Racing bumper, Custom silencer tips just for the hell of it. ;-)
