Anyone mind telling me fair prices to ask?

Shameful as it may be I'm a fan of Chinese quads. I can get them for free needing only minor work and the motors I like are stout. I go through them, though...not even really beating them up they still break. And by "break" I don't mean "break down" as in "the CDI is bad" or "it needs a new plug". I mean they break. I break swingarms. I break a-arms. I break shocks. I break frames. I just break the damn things. I wouldn't put up with it except, like I said, I tend to get them for free...so I just keep swapping my Honda-clone 250 from one frame to another until I break that one. Most of them I get, though, I fix whatever little issue they have and then sell them cheap to little kids who can't have name brand atv's.

 

I've built up a little budget now and have found a fair 2004 Banshee with a locked up engine.

 

What I'm going to do is swap in my Honda-clone motor. Before anyone has a fit about it I have more of a reason than just wanting to do it. The biggest being that where I ride most has strict noise rules and even a stock banshee is too loud (I have the ticket to prove it lol ). I even had the same issues with a blaster I was working on. The 2-stroke noise and smoke also makes my son uncomfortable, and I have my quads so I can ride around with him...I do plenty of riding alone, but if I can't ride with my son I won't have the quads. Sacrilege, I know, but my honda-clone motor, even with a straight exhaust, is quiet and mellow and doesn't smoke a puff. I ride around my neighborhood at 2am without disturbing a soul.

 

On top of all that, there's the money...I have to recoup some of it. Which brings me to the point of this thread. If I ditch the motor and the associated running gear, what are fair prices?

 

The motor is seized...a ring has dug in. Assuming it will need a new jug, how much is it worth?

 

If I rebuild the top end (new jug, pistons, rings, yada yada yada) and sell it as a good, running motor, how much would it be worth?

 

How much are carburetors worth? They will be fully rebuilt.

 

Wiring harness, including all hand control components (kill switch, key ignition, and whatever else there may be)?

 

It has a clean full Yoshimura exhaust...I'm not sure what model exactly but it was purchased new in 2005 so probably whatever was popular then. How much would that go for?

 

Lastly, what can I expect for a set of used Bridgestone paddles? I don't think they've ever been ran, but still.

I did not know Yoshimura made pipes for Banshees, nor did I know that Bridgestone made paddles for ATVs. If your stock Banshee got a noise ticket, then your silencers must be junk.

Mufflers are Yoshimura and the pipes are aftermarket. I'll take a closer look at the pipes later and see if it's a homebrew setup.

 

I haven't seen the tires yet. I was told Bridgestone, but it can be a simple enough mistake.

 

Whether or not you think they're loud, or even if "they" think they're loud, I got the ticket.

 

Not that any of those are really helpful.

i would say if you rebuild the motor fully with the wire harness and all that stuff you should get 850-950$$ but if you make it look nice like paint it even with a raddle can. will get your more $$
