For me the most memorable first time ride on my Banshee was: I had it for about 5-6mnths I bought and installed a buddy beater package (DMC 916 pipes, Boysen power reeds, Reed spacers, main/pilot Jets, and a boost bottle) I installed everything myself, took it out for the first tiime and when I rode it felt faster but felt like something was missing kind of like it was being held back by something. I thought I had been taken $$$ Whent home all freaked out that night started looking on the internet for answers thats when I stumbled across this site"Holy Banshee info" I posted my problem and was waiting for a reply when I started going over the installs that I had done wondering if I screwed something up. Thats when I discovered a template in the DMC instructions for a whole in the top of the air box. The next morning I couldn't get out to the garage fast enough, Cut the whole in the lid warmed it up, took it out on the street and stabbed the throttle. The front tires stayed of the ground for the first 4 gears, could have gone through them all if I didn't run out of road, I drove it back to the garage in the same manner I took off in. Then, I got off and was shaking from head to toe "WAHOOOO WAHOOOO WAHOOOOO" what a friggen rocket ship. I'll never forget that momment for the rest of my life. "BANSHEES RULE" I don't care what quads come out or whos says what is faster or handles better. I'm hooked on the Banshee for life.
