This is intended for pavement use only.

 

Hey, Ive had a 99 banshee and quite a few atv's and just traded my 06 yfz450 a few months ago for a 00 zx12. well the 12 runs 5.50's in the 8th. Im wanting to run 5.90's at the least on a banshee. (local guy has a warrior frame with a r6 engine running low 6's I hear. and I just want to outrun this guy )

 

Anyways ill be selling my 12 for around 5k, that is just my first lump sum, I work full time and I love my toys so thats not all I have to spend.

 

Im just curious I need some opinions. for the guys that have fast street shees, Should I buy a close to stock 1 and start modding it myself or should I just drop a good lump of cash on a already modded 1 (not all the way modded cause I wanna do some of the work myself) what would be more practical and cheaper?

 

Also for the guys running low 6's and 5's in the 1/8th with a good setup how often do you have to replace clutches and do top end rebuilds.

 

Shoot me some info and opinions guys! Thanks alot.

5gs is a good start.there are some nice asphalt drag bikes for sale on another site for around that price..i always like to start with virgins,but times are hard right now and people are giving away bikes that they have spent over 10k on for around 5 or 6k.start with something like that and add on.when you in the low 6s and in the 5s things are ALWAYS going to break..this sport is never ending so dont think its going to stop there..you might want to put in some overtime..hahahaha

THE TRICK TO IT ALL IS TO DO IT WITH A BANSHEE BASED MOTOR..

yeh I know stuff is going to break, what I was meaning is I dont wanna replace clutches after every single run on the track lol. if my goals of 5's is gonna come at a cost of a new clutch/basket whenever I put 2-3 pass's on it I dont know if I wanna get into the sport of racing a banshee to be slower then my street bike and break 10 times more

 

after looking at some quads some are just selling way to cheap! I might just look into that instead of building my own. :-D

i would say you will replace clutches every 20-30 passes.it all goes with your clutch set up.but something always seems to brake.but its all worth it after racing someone who thinks there fast.

Just buy one with a lockup clutch and an override trans that will do the trick.
