Sandfrk33 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Just got back from a 35 mile ride. No stops, just wide open 5th and 6th gear. I'm only on my 2nd top end in 7 years. Why do people insist that 2 strokes are unreliable? Treat them right and keep up on the repairs. Just had to tell someone, thought you guys would appreciate this.

broke as a joke Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Just got back from a 35 mile ride. No stops, just wide open 5th and 6th gear. I'm only on my 2nd top end in 7 years.

I think people think they are unreliable because of the blaster, my 240 blaster had to be rebuilt about as often as I had to put gas in it. My banshee is just like yours though, I run the shit out of it but maintain it very well and so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christada Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have a 2000 my brother has an 01.. We bought them both brand new at the same time.. I pretty much only go riding when he does He just now had his first top end rebuilt that's all he's ever had to fix besides routine maint.. mine has been rebuilt about 5 times.. plus my crank went out.. the stator.. the CDI box.. all sorts of things but his has been very reliable..
