Nice clean bike man, Ditch those DG pipes and get yourself some T5's and you will be even more happy with your purchase.

 

Also Now that you have joined this site your Banshee has a gun pointed at you demanding your wallet. Welcome to the ADDICTION.

thanks, will look into other pipes. i have always run FMF on my race bikes. the banshee is just a toy for me and something for the GF to ride when im on the bike. i will use it for trails and mx track.

forgot to mention, im on vancouver island in canada. if any other canadians on here have some plastics that have been cut already let me know.

thanks

Thats a nice ride man. I'm in the same boat you was. I got a 2006 Ktm 250sxf and about to trade it to a banshee when I get it fixed lol

[OldschoolJay]

thanks guys, the banshee is a 03 and was owned by a guy from a yamaha dealership. very well taken care of.

my ktm was a 07 with a bunch of mods, here's a quick shot of my kx250f.

 

i will be switching it to a twist throttle, any thing weird about the swap? or can i just get a twist throttle from a yz125/250?

The actually do make twist throttles for the Banshee, I would just buy one made for the bike so you know you will be good. I dont think there that expensive, check ebay.
