Finally bought my new banshee! New owner from UK!

[rox10h]

hello guys. my first post was asking your thoughts about a potential banshee i wanted to purchase..well for those of you that gave me ur input (and if ur bothered) i went and bought it today lol

 

tried it in the service station where i met the guy, and it is an ANIMAL. now this might be because i've come off a 4poke and onto my first 2 stroke, but it scared me shitless in a good way none the less.

 

it has supposedly 85bhp, not sure if anyone could confirm that? Mods that i can see include fell DEP Exhaust system with over sized carbs, upgraded pistons, Yam racing ignition, heavy duty clutch, nerf bars, cut plasticts, Renthal handle bars, Slasher rear tyres, front nudge bar, removed lights,shock covers, brand new seat, full engine rebuild, i think the guy mentioned a racing CDi but it was 4am so i wasnt that much awake after a 4 hour drive so i cant remember lol. was 85bhp a bit of bull though or no? it genuinly is ridicilously fast.

 

 

for an early 90's model im sure you'd agree it looks pretty dam clean!

 

appriciate your C&C guys

bike looks real clean and nice front bumper

[rox10h]

cheers bro, im unsure of what bumper it actualy is mind you!

Wow your sig pic is big.

 

Nice bike. doubt you have even close to 85hp. But dyno numbers are pointless, just enjoy the bike. Make sure it's jetted correctly, fluids are new etc. Welcome to the obsession!

cheers bro, i have to admit this it the only forum that ive ever joined where there isnt a rule on sig size lol. il edit it tommorow anyway, i can see it pissing a few people off with its size.

 

as for the shee everything is superb, i will ask though, i had some real hard times starting it today.

 

it was sat at a slight angle in my van so im not sure crap in the tank or carbs have gathered and stuff, but i just couldnt for the life of me start the fucker up via kicking with chokes on and off. im pretty sure i flooded it so i had to stop kickingm just had this wet fart sounding noise which i thought was flooding so stopped. however with the throttle open and kicking with chokes off, it did splutter into life but soon cut back out a few seconds later even with tinkering with the throttle.

 

ended up bump starting it, which worked fine although it was very VERY smokey (white) and sounding like it was spluttering/hesistinag. i kept it running and rode it gently around for a bit then opened her up, after opening her up she was fine- was that little experience due to the bike just being cold and me being a little over keen?

 

never owned a 2 stroke in my life let alone a banshee so bare with me!

85 no unless its a serious sleeper and he forgot to tell you some parts lol but maybe 60 either way ya check fluids spark plug gas etc but have fun it will seem like an animal lol

[rox10h]

well took it for its first proper run today.

 

 

 

...im absoultely shocked at its performance, it really is a complete ANIMAL!

 

with my regards to my starting problem, i think it might be because its cold? i think its gunna give me a hard time everytime i try start it. once it was warm and all going well it kicked straight away once it was warm.

 

fuel on, both chokes up and kick. what am i doing wrong lol

Congrats on the purchase. Two strokes can sometimes be a little cold blooded... Maybe time for a top end?
