08banshee Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 I just traded my YZ450F for an 08 Banshee today. It was not in as good as shape as my dirt bike but once the guy started it up, I was sold! The way that the midrange kicks in and pulls through is amazing...never experienced anything like that before! It came with a lot of accessories too. FMF exhaust, ITP SS wheels with spacers, nerf bars, boost bottle, filter kit, and much more. Just wondering if there is anything I should be aware of before I go for a long ride. Are there any weak points on these machines? What is the best mix oil to use? He has been running Amsoil in it since new. Quote
dirtydownunder Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 welcome and stuff. no, nothing to worry about on long runs besides running out of fuel, keep your filters clean and your bike maintained and shit will be awesome. throw some pixs up !! i run 40:1 motul all oil is different. Quote
08banshee Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks "dirtydownunder." My Banshee looks exactly like yours. I haven't got any good pics yet but when I do, I will post them. Thanks Quote
Jereme6655 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Welcome to the site!! The carbs are something that need to be maintained every so often. other than that you need to ditch that boost bottle and get yourself a standard cross-over tube. The boost bottles weight is too much for the cross-over boots to handle and it will eventually tear it and run your motor lean.... Quote
Sandfrk33 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Mix your gas right, keep the filters clean, and ride the hell out of it. If you ever break anything, its a good excuse to make it faster. Welcome to the site. Quote
08banshee Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks for the replys guys...I just got back from riding at my local sand pit and I love it! My thumb is a bit sore though. I'm thinking about getting a twist throttle. Quote
