dpg Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Hello Everyone! Im looking into buying one of these beasts! I have a regular honda atv 450 foreman & 300ex .... i mean you just hop on and go. Is the Banshee like that? shift n gas n go? I havent driven one so im not sure, first time into the sporty atv scene. Thanks, NS Quote
quikshee Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Do some research, this site has endless information. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 What up bro. Best advice I can give you id find one that is in good shape. Banshees have been around for ~ 20 years so there are some REALLY shitty ones out there. Look around, and find a nice one at a good price, then jump on it. They are very good bikes IMHO, and are a blast to ride. Parts are cheap, and they are easy to work on. The biggest headache that I hear from most newbs is Jetting, but just like any 2 stroke, stay on top of the jetting and carbs, and 90% of your problems are gone. Good luck bro, and there is a ton of info here. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah, where are ya from too? Maybe somebody on the board is in your area or knows about a good deal. Quote
dpg Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 Im located in Toronto Canada! What im trying to understand about it is there a clutch? or just the shifter on the left foot and your gas on the right hand. Thanks Guys! Quote
broke as a joke Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) yeah just like your 300ex, 1st is all the way down, N is between first and second, then it just keeps going up, except your ex is a 5 speed and banshee's are 6. also banshee's do not have reverse. I love my banshee to death, wouldn't trade it for any other wheeler. Like already said maintainence is key, banshees do requiure a lot of maintainence, all wheelers do, but it catches up to you quick with the banshee if you don't do it. Nothing difficult at all, its just a matter of doing it, clean the air filter, adjust the chain, be sure the jetting is correct for the temperature, and elevation if you buy it from a long ways away. Let us know what you do, we're here to help. edit: yes it has a clutch, just like your EX Edited May 28, 2009 by broke as a joke Quote
