figure8racer7463 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 i have a srupid ? but why are banshees so high maintenance combared to like four strokes like raptors and other 4 strokes Because they were actually built to be fast lol just kidding. but seriously not sure why but it seems like all 2-strokes are high maintenance. I actually like it cause it makes me take things apart and actually learn something instead of taking it to a shop and paying to fix it.

quikshee Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 ya they aure are fun though why do four strokes last longer ????? Because the average person does not know how to properly maintain a 2 stroke after modding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Have your friends ever ridden a two stroke? How much H.P. does a YFZ450 make? Do you think a craptor will be around 20 yrs from now? X-2 on Quickshee's point, go on YFZ Central and read about issues they have. A 350 warrior only makes 16-18 hp, see what it costs to make 30-32 hp(stock shee) and see how long it lasts. Don't know what max for a 350cc is, but it's still cheaper to modify than a 4poke. Why do you think they were racing 250s against 125s ,and 450s/250 in moto cross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spurdy Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Come on guys, really! In all actuality, there isn't anymore maintenance on a 2 stroke then a 4 stroke. Regular lubrication and oil changes. Properly tuned so it doesn't backfire and jetted so it doesn't overheat or run lean and there really are no issues. Proper fuel mixture and air/fuel adjustments (jetting and no leaks) and a top end will last a very long time. When we go to the dunes, I do see a lot more banshees being pulled in but when you look at the big picture, every forth bike I see is a banshee also! Now, once you start building super high HP engines then everything has to be looked at because everything is going to be under a lot more stress but I think that is a different scenario then what we are discussing here. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madjimmax Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 haha my prety much stock banshee will beat them now ahha Then why ask why. I have an 03 shee and I just bored it for the first time about a year ago. Just take care of your shit and you will be golden. Also try to stay out of a lot of muddy water every time you suck that shit in you air box you are pretty much dumping sand right in your engine and that will do numbers on your rings and cylinder walls not including bearings and everything else. Any gas powered engine needs to be maintained and the more high performance they are the more service they require speed comes with a price.

dirtydownunder Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 4 strokes have a better lubrication system so there ring to bore wear is less, but they have more moving parts to fuck up and adjust. your always gonna have mates run there mouths, just run you 2stroke harder than theres and that will block there hole.
