Michael Jackson Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) for as shitty an unreliable these banshees are .. mine far outlasted my friends raptor 700, a yfz 450, and a trx450r in terms of repairs and maintenance when we all started riding i never heard the end of it, how my banshee would "blow up' and "break down" all the time, while they all had new 4 strokes i towed each of their quads back to the trucks many times with my shitty old unreliable banshee , you gotta love it just dont stoop to their level and make fun of them when their shit breaks or youre no better than they are, and you know how fucking annoying people like that are Edited May 22, 2011 by Michael Jackson Quote
yamahaman244 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Posted May 22, 2011 Ya I hate it when people say your stuff is junk then there's breaks I just say everything breaks Quote

oneill_1952 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Yup thats karma...so i just keep my mouth shut lol Quote
camatv Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 4 strokes suck i rebuild motors in banshees quite often most of them are at LEAST 10-14 years old when the crank lets go.. built right and half ass maintained the banshee 2 stroke motor is very very very reliable.. compared to the on edge 4 stroke 450's of today.. the 700 rappy isnt as bad..
