New to the banshee world

[Ford]

I just won a clean 87 banshee after buying a $5 raffle ticket. It has after market exhaust and paddles on it. The rest is original and I haven't rode dirt in years. Can anyone let me know a rough list of things I need to maintain and enjoy my new toy? Thanks

i would start by doing a compression test, just make sure you dont need race gas to run it[unless you know the answer to that]second make sure you mix gas properly, and buy quality oil[dont buy that walmart premix]

whatever your riding style is the banshee will be the machine to own.......and post some pics of your new toy.........and have fun............welcome to the BHQ

I 2nd THAT!!!! I bought my banshee in July and have had issues with it. I have rebuilt the motor twice myself and as of right now I am rebuilding another banshee with a new frame etc....... This forum has tons of info and knowledge from members. Ask and you shall recieve.

damn, you won a banshee for $5? thats a killer deal.

 

compression

make sure air filter is clean

check the front end for slop - check the ball joints and tie rod ends

check the rear end for slop - check the axle area, make sure the axle nut is tight

use good oil - klotz premix is a good one to use

might make sure your brakes are good - they come in handy when youre riding fast

 

these are just a few things, but will get you started..
