400ex for banshee

[mattsellshouses]

Hey guys, I just joined the forum today long story short my girlfriend and i went to the dunes last weekend I have a raptor 660 and i bought her an 04 400ex stock except fmf powerbomb exhaust . Well turns out she raelly likes my raptor over the 400ex so i found someone that wanted to sell there 04 limited edition banshee (stock) or trade for a 400ex. I am meeting this girl on saturday. After talking to her boyfriend the engine was blown at one point due to wrong mixture of fuel. He said the top end was rebuilt as close to stock as possible but is one mil over? Is there a power difference with just one mil over? I am new to the sport but does that sound correct? We've ridden trails and dunes for the first time last weekend ( THE DUNES ARE WHERE ITS AT!!!) so the bike will be used for the sand. thoughts?

I would but i don't feel like spending any more money. I bought my the 400 for $2200 and she had the banshee listed at $3400 or straight trade.

I agree. It sounds like you will be opening up a whole can of worms that you don't want to be getting into. Atleast try to sell the 400ex outright, and buy something with a little more info on the history.

$3400 for a stock 04 shee? that is a lot.

and to answer your HP question, no you will not see any power gains from a 1mil over bore.

 

 

The girl has owned since 2005 her ex-boyrfriend is the guy i talked to and he said he has done all the maintenance on the bike and a professional shop where i am at rebuilt the top end. He doesn't want to mix the fuel and do all the work for her basically. I can't get a banshee for what i could sell my 400ex for where i am at and to be honest id like to have the banshee as a sand bike and use the raptor when i get back to the trails. Is there anything i should like for on the bike when i see it tomorrow? Or what questions i should ask
