CruelSoul Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Well I have my 2004 440ex up for trade online and I have a guy coming tomorrow to offer me a 1999 banshee I have pics below of both machines he had this banshee cause he never had a 2 stroke before well he blew it up but he has everything to do the rebuild except for wrist pin bearings/gasket kit he said already had the bore done it is at .060 over this machine looks clean as hell it has ct racing inframes,port n polish,coolhead,trinity iv 2 into 1 carb setup with k-n pod and outerwears,hot rods crank,lightened flywheel with aftermarket stator,new razor tires,nerf bars,kill switch, stock carbs,and a few extra parts like stock head,tie rods etc. should I trade him my running 440ex for this what do you guys think. Mine only needs a new solenoid and carb idleing adjusted he said he didn't care he wants it and he is driving about 2 hours to come to me. His shee My 04 440ex Quote
Jereme6655 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 ponally i hate the look of the EX. So for that reason id see if he's be willing to do the banshee and say $200-500 as your going to have to do the labor of rebuilding a bike before riding it......and before you can make sure its okay mechanically.

ClayAiken Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 I would do it, Just check a few things check the compression on it listen for rattles (aside from kickstarter) listen for slapping knocking and other out of the ordinary. Ride it make sure it goes through all the gears easy. Ive seen wayy too many trades go bad and you end up with a p.o.s. Quote
