F.T.W. Banshee Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 I have a stock 01 banshee for sale. Only needs front tires and exhaust bracket. Quote
peterlocal22 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 diff between a arms and j arms is when the banshee was first made in the late 80's they used j arms. shaped like a J. i think it was around 1990 they changed it to a arms which is still what you see on most if not all quads today. the front arm that the front wheels and shocks are hooked up to will be shaped like an A. they have a conversion kit for j arm bikes to convert them into A arms. hope this helps Quote
peterlocal22 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 as far as what too look for is the usual, look over the frame ask how many hrs are on motor, has it been rebuilt, maintance, etc? alot of people will tell you to test the compression but this can be a pain in the butt and i dont think many people actually take out a comp. tester and check it? start the bike see how she runs, maybe take a test drive. good luck with it does it have any mods?
