[anyone know what this machine is worth need help fast!]

yeah is 3,000 top value? what would you think a bike like this costs to build i just think the fact that is runs on 93 is odd... dont most ppl use a high end fuel with heads and porting?

[My first banshee 05 se build]

What's happening guys. I have always wanted a banshee since I had the opportunity to ride one when I was 16 in 2002! I'm getting a little old and chubby for the mx bike so I sold my MINT YZ250 last week and grabbed a 2005 bone stock clean original un opened motor bike for 3,000$ on consignment at a Yamaha shop in northern Wi. It has brand new hole shots on it too which I considered a plus... They have the fuzzies on em still! I don't get out much due to work and life but I'm a mod freak and a gear head. I have a 8 second gtr and a 69c10 short Box pickup. I can't leave anything alone but I wanted to start with a canvas that wasn't clapped out. The original owner has 15 quads and never rode this bike much so I figured it was the perfect candidate.

 

I needed a seat cover because this one had a cigarette burn in it so I bought a new black gripper.

I know suspension is everything so I supported a vendor and got the stage 3 elka setup for 975 $ on special

I found a set of new in box vforce reeds on Craigslist for $100 so far and when I went there to grab those I bought a decent set of used fmf fattys for 200$ with silencers!

 

I mostly trail ride so I figured this pipes shouldn't be bad for the $ and if not they should bring 200$

 

I need to get jets. Have any suggestions ? I also want to grab another set of wheels and am looking at a new front bumper mine is mint but I'm still was thinking about an alba to preserve the stocker and I want to powder coat it to match the wheels in prismatic powders illusion purple or glowing yellow ? Does anyone have pics of the alba installed? The bike is also on the original chain and sprockets. That will be replaced before I ride it. What's the hot gearing setup for a stock motor ? Who's makes a solid chain Renthal? Regina? Did?

 

Any suggestions appreciated. Can't wait to get this thing going

 

Any other mods you suggest ? Tors delete? Bars? Ect....

 

Thanks pics coming asaP!

[Wanted banshee near Chicago IL have cash. Will consider traveling for the right one.]

I think I found a nice 06 for 3,000$ looking at it Friday ! I think that's pretty fair it's a nice blank canvas

[Wanted banshee near Chicago IL have cash. Will consider traveling for the right one.]

Looking for a nice banshee near Chicago but possibly farther if it makes sense or you are willing to meet. I have cash I would prefer MINT machines the closer to stock the better unless you have paperwork for it don't bother responding. I need a title to obtain Wisconsin trail passes.

Thanks in advance.

[Looking to buy my first banshee advice needed]

there really aren't any. A well maintained bike should be just that.

Ok are there any big differences in model years. From my understanding most everything is the same

[Looking to buy my first banshee advice needed]

The white and red is all original second owner maybe I should go that route. What are the obvious banshee issues that I should look for ??

[Looking to buy my first banshee advice needed]

So I'm looking to buy my first banshee im getting a little older so I sold my yz250 last week... It was a flawless bike (I'm a perfectionist). I went and looked at a few local banshees today and most seem clapped out :-/. I however saw a 2006 se yellow with title for $4,000 with v force reeds toomey t6's and a jet kit. It was mint and the motor was never opened yet

 

There's another in Michigan for 3200 that's bone stock even cleaner but it is a 2004 and had that red frame.... I hate the red frame with white plastics.

 

Basically what should I be looking for when buying one of these I mean I understand the basics but are there any KNOWN ISSUES OR PROBLEM AREAS I don't think I'll have the ability to compression test any of them but the 06 fired right up and didn't sound bad besides the usual kick start rattle. The 04 is a drive but might be worth it since its a 2 owner on original tires ...

 

What should I expect to pay for a mint machine from 2002-06 and clean older models 97-01 are there any advantages to certain years over others ? Will the 06 be the most desirable in the end? Any imput appreciated.

 

Thanks
