Yes, he actually has an atv/bike shop. I know him personally, but I'm baffled by this 60 psi thing. I've ridden the bike. It's strange

Great advice. Thanks guys. Yes the banshee actually starts easily on the first kick mostly. Now I'm very Leary

I sent the pic. It's not a good pic, but maybe someone can give me some insight. Question. When you have 60 lbs of compression, should you be able to run it at all. I rode the quad a little. It ran hard when it got the rpms up. Anyway. What normally needs done when you have low compression. I do have faith in my mechanic. He is very reputable.

I know. I will take another pic and send it to the very nice person who posted it for me. It's a 358 cub

There is a pic on this site already. It's under the "back to 2 strokes" thread. I don't know how to post pics. Also, it's a 358 cub supposedly. Not a 392. But who really knows because the moron I bought it from is shady as hell. My fault for trusting people I guess. Regardless, now I can make the motor how I want it. That's the only positive I have right now.

Ok. Here's the deal. The motor is supposedly a 358 cheetah cub. That is yet to be determined. But the scumbag who sold me it said it was. So what is normal compression supposed to be. And to do things right, what kind of dollar figure will I be looking at. I don't want a drag motor. But I want a strong running dependable engine. Keep the suggestion coming. Thanks. Sam

So I bought this banshee, I absolutely love it. I took it to my mechanic to get tuned up, jetting, etc. And I was informed today that the motor only has 60 pounds of compression in each cylinder, I'm very upset, but I bought it used, and I guess that's what happens some times. My question is 1. What is normal compression for a banshee 2. What might I have to do to this motor now, I realize that is a broad question. But what should I expect, I of course wanna make things perfect, money isn't a huge issue. So what exactly might I be looking at. Thanks. I appreciate any help. Sam

Thanks man. I still have not gotten it back. I can't wait to drive it. I should be wicked

And the seat got a fresh cover. That green thing looked awful. As well as a set of skat trak dominators. It's getting there

I'm not sure why he put such crazy spacers on. They are off already. Looks and feels much better. It is really wide even now. I love this thing. It just looks mean. I can't wait to actually drive it. Right now it's getting a full tune up and whatever else it needs. For now I will run my yfz450r. But just can't wait to ride the shee

Also, it has toomey t5 pipes and cool head

Soldier, Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I use an iPad for everything and cannot post pics from it, for some reason. I can email anyone pics if they want. I really like the machine. It has billet everything on it, and tons of Chrome. As far as engine mods - hot rods crank - 358 cub - v-force 3 reeds - has the 2 k&n filters basically exposed - I know the guy said it has 320main jets I'm not very good with working on them. It's at my local shop right now getting tuned and looked over. I'm very concerned with the weight of it. It basically weighs nothing at all. Has no skid plates, not sure why it's so light

Ok. That's relieving. Honestly, I have no clue how to post a pic.

Growing up, I've only ever had banshees. I live in coal country PA, where hill climbs are down right sick. I got away from banshees and bought 2 brand new yfz450r quads. One for me, one for my son. We love our yfzs, but I couldn't stay away from banshees. I ame across this banshee for sale. I just could not resist. It's the nicest shee I've ever seen in person. Well built, looks like a new quad. It has the 358 cub motor. All new orange and black plastics, suspension wise, it's +2 on evrything including swing arm. It's just a sick looking shee. I bought it knowing it needed tuned a little. It fired right up, but doesn't idle right. After messing with it, I found that it had no case oil in it. I have no clue why. But I had it running high rpms for a few minutes total.-- WITH NO OIL. Well, my question is, did I do any damage. It still fires right up, but now I'm worried as hell. Thanks guys for any help. Sam
